I have yet to see a thread that allows us to vent ouer feelings about the society's that currently house us, primarily the ones that are not aware to any extend and are conservative of their current way of life.
I preassume that a lot of us still drive their cars to work, or atleast cycle next to a road with a pretty line of smelly smoking cars.

my gripes
$this->bbcode_list('1')

When i cycle through the city i can only rarely get myself to take deep breaths because the air is so full of car exhausts (rush hours)

At night when i walk the dog there is light everywhere, every 5 meters has a light, i cant even look up to stars and there will be to many lights around. From the streets i can only see the brightest of stars (or airplanes). My bedroom has a streetlight 4-ish meters away from its window.

The drphill show, its all very nice what hes doing and i love it all the way through but in the end i cant help but by upset about the prospect i envision for the people he helps.

My sister is in mental institution (for being depressed/seeing hallucinations) and she wants to get a taxi arranged ( so she can be home at night and over there at day (each day of the week, thats roughly 100 miles total, 2x5x10 miles)

The pressure of my parents to finish my education and get a life/house/work/etc.

Consequences derived from ouer society of status and invidivual succes, shown in tv commercials and celebrity news, shows (Oprah anyone?)

I hope to make this thread to generate some delight for the needy, by sharing ouer annoyances and hopefully confirm that we are not alone with ouer gripes and annoyances.

Vent away
regards, sleep tight.

Maybe you could get RID OF YOUR TELEVISION. NOW! KILL IT! SHOOT IT FULL OF LEAD! (then, late at night, go outside and shoot the street light by your window, then, tell your sister what you did. she'll be so proud of you she'll snap out of her depression)

[Ludi]

Oh I gripe about our society/culture fairly constantly here on PO.com, to make a list would be to repeat myself yet ad nauseum...


How does your sis manage to be in a mental institution? They kick people out of hospital after two weeks around here...

Speaking of television...A lot of my friends these days are wringing their hands over HDTV. They'll be forced to buy an expensive new HDTV by 2009, or they won't be able to watch their favorite shows! It's unfair to the poor who can't afford new TVs! The digital rights management will be brutal, no one will be able to record TV shows any more!

They'll be very lucky if HDTV is their biggest worry in 2009.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PrairieMule', 'P')MS why would anyone walk 20 miles in the snow both ways if gas was 23 cents a gallon?

Well then PMS, if you were in High School in 1972 out in California. Did you get a chance to go see any Groovy Concerts? I had a old boss who saw the last american concert of The Beatles at Candlestick Park in 1966. Did you see Jefferson Airplane, Stones, Doobie Bros?

[PenultimateManStanding]

Let's see now, who did I see in concert (that I can remember): Led Zeppelin, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, Alice Cooper (what an act that was! ), It's a Beautiful Day, others that I can't remember.

1. Some friends of ours are putting their cat on Kidney Dialysis (sp) Waste of money especially as they are maxed out on debt.

2. Terrestrial TV is being phased out in the UK (bit like the HDTV thing)

3. The corner shop near where I live has just had floor to ceiling refrigerators installed (the open fronted kind)

4. Someone bought a baby into the office today. I hate that cooing people do around babies.

5. The effing school run mums in their 4x4's

6. Companies offering me loans EVERY DAY.

7. Litter droppers

8. Business development managers

9. football and all its expensive sidelines and boring discussions (yes, I must be gay)

10. Dog shit on the pavement (sidewalk)

That was fun..

So duke, what happened with the $600 bill for unrequested services? Did you have to pay it. A greedy SOB vet like that sounds like he'd hold you to it. (word will get around and he'll be known as someone to stay away from, hopefully)

[hotsacks]

You're not alone dukey
It's unbelievable the guilt trip these guys have learned to use to squeeze cash out of you.More and more,they remind me of funeral directors.
DVM=Doctor of Venal Mendacity.
My 17 year old Shih Tzu needs,according to Dr.Snowjob:a plastic hip,eye surgery and dental work.All this for a mere $5 grand.That's besides the 'special diet' he recommends and is the only area stockist of,dog food @$3.25/can.
The dog will have to live without them.If she is in pain,I'll put her down.
Another example of a good thing gone too far.

You guys aren't fooling about Vet hospitals. Last month my indoor cat got her stomach cut on something outside and I had to take her to the emergency room to get stiched up. 5 hours later I got soaked for $400. Now I use to be a insurance adjuster a few years ago and I love the vigorous debate on bullshit charges but these guys have their bases covered. Not all vets are like this including my normal vet but dang, I wonder if the mob has it's hands in this business.

FYI-I had to sign a DNR waiver when they put the cat under to do stitches. Ever wonder how much it costs to give a cat CPR after midnight at a emergency room in Dallas? $750!! If they use the paddles it's $1200!!!
