People are really pissing me off today.

1. It's NOT okay to heckle the President of the United States during his speech. Doesn't matter who is President at the time. I hated with a wild passion GWB and still would be upset if he was heckled during a speech. Grow the fuck up people.

2. I'm sick and tired of haters hiding behind platitudes. I see you and I recognize your hypocrisy.

3. I'm tired of people thinking that President Obama can work miracles. This country is a mess and he didn't create it. However, he stands up and pushes and pushes and pushes people to see the benefit in compromise and change. (Is it exactly the change I want. Maybe not. BUT, he doesn't bend and he doesn't pretend.) It's all about baby steps. Did you run before you could walk? I doubt it. So stop hating on him because he's too much this and not enough that. Don't people see that he's trying to build a strong foundation in order to implement change...in order for future politicians to have something to work with?

/rant.

It's fucking LJ all over again.

What's with this "adult content" label? When the fuck did the internet become all about deciding what is or isn't adult content? And who the fuck is amazon to decide? Yeah, yeah, private company, I know the argument. However, I'd like to know how the hell they're defining "adult content" because so far it seems to only include any literature having to do with homosexuality, including non-fiction, while leaving the rankings on all things heterosexual, including those that could be considered sexually explicit, alone.

FUCK FUCK FUCK this is the slippery slope that I've talked about before. I was in a bad enough mood, I didn't need this on top of it. Feeling angry and disappointed and very out of sorts. This is not helping. If amazon doesn't back away from this, I'll NEVER shop there again and I fucking love amazon. But I refuse to give a company $ or support of any kind with this type of hypocritical policy that forces a sense of censorship on me. They'll take my money but refuse to admit that they sold it to me...pretending it doesn't exist by removing it from their rankings. fuck this.

ETA: A MUST READ

I got a surprise today when I went to the atm. My card had been deactivated. It seems someone tried to make some purchases through a non-existent business. I'm grateful my bank caught it but it sucks to be without my atm card. I guess I didn't realize how much I really and truly rely on it.

Then I realized I have no checks either. head/desk

AND, after I typed this, it dawned on me that the purchases weren't fraudulent and I only put 2 and 2 together because of this post. I was going to tell you guys how I've been spending my free time, complete with a poll, and that's where these charges come into play. I found a new original fic author and I purchased all her ebooks...those were the charges.

FUCK...FUCK...FUCK...FUCK. Now I have to call the bank back and tell them that those were legitimate charges. Legitimate porn charges. :/


Poll #1985 bank/original fic
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Do you think my bank flagged the charges because they were porn?

Are you interested in recs of original m/m fic?

Fear Mongering makes me sick and tired.

I've been sick of it for 8 years...

I've been disgusted by the manipulative techniques that our President has employed over the course of his time in office, this includes the Terror Alert Levels that have been used to incite fear in this country.

I've been embarrassed by it all.

I've questioned my belief and faith in this country because of it.

I've wanted it all to end.

I didn't think I could feel worse about it until this Primary.

Shame on you Hillary Clinton. Shame on you.

You've made me ashamed to have ever given you the benefit of the doubt.

You've made me ashamed to be a woman in this country. How's that for attacking you on your gender?

Where the hell has everyone gone?

Someone very near and dear to my heart is upset by the lack of participation around here and that's totally unacceptable. (her name has been redacted to protect her innocence while I rant)
