Little Things that Irk You 4Ever

That's just cruel.

The NUS refusing to pass a motion to condemn ISIS because of political correctness / liberalism gone too far. It's madness!

Where are Al Qaeda these days?

[darkangel]

The Islamic state are an off shoot of those guys, they left because they thought Al Qaeda were too moderate!

I'd bet there's more to it than that. No one has any issue condemning ISIS.

Madness is not bothering to actually look at the facts beyond the headlines and just believing what you are being fed.

Unsurprisingly, the news sites are leaving this little bit not easily spotted: "Some committee members felt that the wording of the motion being presented would unfairly demonise all Muslims rather than solely the group of people it set out to rightfully condemn."

So the headline should be: "NUS delays condemning ISIS until the motion is worded correctly" i.e. not even slightly worth reporting on unless you are trying to drum up some non-news story. Oh, so that's all "journalists" these days.

I thought ISIS were made to fight one of America's proxy was just like Al Qaeda (I think we, Britrica, used them in Libya)? You know, an enemy of an enemy is a friend. That is until your enemies enemy no longer exist and then the friend you employed to fight your enemy just became your enemy.

The going rate for a loose cart of Super Metroid is ?30-?40 these days!? Jesus H Christ. Is this a friggin joke? Absolutely sick to death of this crap. Thank god I am not in the market for this, just came across it looking for other stuff. Got my Japanese cart for about ?2. Atrocious.

Lazy people. Guy wants $10 in change but "has walked far enough" and won't come to the front desk to sign the paperwork.

My own double standards. I'm too used to kicking homeless out of the hotel but today we had a girl who probably wasn't even 17 sleeping on the mezzanine. I woke her up the usual way but she was shaking too much and obviously was on something. She told me she had only been drinking but I'm sure that's not the truth. Generally my rule is: get out. I have to stick to that because people have taken advantage of my good-hearted nature in the past. This one was still a child. I got her a bottle of water and a hot tea, we called her mother to come and pick her up. I did have a blanket on the way as she was still shivering after being inside the hotel for over an hour, but her mother got here quickly enough that it wasn't needed.

And I hate people calling me sir.

Cops just came by looking for that girl as apparently she just jumped out of her mother's car while it was moving.

My irk is taking things for granted.

I can't imagine what that girl's been through to get to this state.

[kryss]

I keep wondering what made her jump out of the car. Too many questions from her mother perhaps.

Reminds me of something my mother said about not pushing us too hard in school as she was too afraid of what the pressure might do to us. Two of my cousins (sisters, but not together or at the same time) ran away a couple of times when they were younger. My family has it's share mental health issues I guess.

You all keep banging on that the WiiU needs more games!
