Ok, my turn to let off steam. This stuck up son-of-a-you-know-what, who is a terrible youth pastor(His sermons are more philosophy than biblical fact), just got promoted to #2 guy, despite his obvious disregard for the risk manigement guidelines. My dad left(Along with several other youth workers) after the head pastor blatantly stated that despite this fact(Which was proven!), he would NOT fire him(He will go unnamed). So, in conclusion, another church has failed to be a safe place for my family, my dad has no job, and I am beginning to doubt God even more... Thank you. (Downs beer.) Don't blame God, blame the nutcase clergy. It is them who FAIL, not God and I am sorry you have to experience such things. Thanks for the advice, as we have started a home church. I want my sister dead. No matter what I do, she always makes some rude little comment, and when I reply, she always gets all "Bring it on", and when I go to do so, I get called a bully by my father, and she gets off scott free... I am seriously considering murder as a way to solve this one... As if the last load 'o Bull$h1t wasn't enough...

I am seriously considering murder as a way to solve this one... As if the last load 'o Bull$h1t wasn't enough... Agh, my sister does that too. Nothing I do ever meets her standards... and she's younger than me, but acts like I'm three and she's an all-knowing power or something. But really, murder isn't the best option. Really. Seriously. Not a good plan. My sister acting like a bloody idiot used to drive me nuts, but eventually I just learned to ignore it. Think of it this way- she's being really immature by acting like a jerk, but you can be more mature by ignoring her. Imagine yourself as a responsible person, and her as an immature baby who you have to humour. Might make it easier for you to ignore her. And I don't know how old your sister is, but it might just be a bratty phase she's going through.

Funny, my sister's twelve too... maybe there's just a bratty stage twelve year old girls go through? Although I can't remember being that much of a brat when I was twelve... In fact, just now, I couldn't remember how old she was, and so I asked her, and she yelled at me and said, "Why do you want to know? I'm not telling you! It's not my fault you're too stupid to remember your own sister's age!"

Pah! Hardly! My sister is a nightmare. She thinks that she is the single most important person who ever lived, and she's selfish, temperamental, and overly dramatic about her schoolwork. Plus, it doesn't help that she assumes everyone should like what she likes, and she gets mad if a topic she doesn't like is brought up. So, Little Engine & Warrior, you are not alone by a longshot!
(She's 15 by the way)

You too?!?
Oh boy...
One other thing that makes me hate her, is that she hates Thomas and friends, Thinks Tugs is a baby show(Theodore the tugboat too), and called the british railway series LAME! Now if that isn't blasphemy, what is?
Strangely, she likes Shining time station...

Younger sisters (and brothers) always drive you nuts. That's what they do. It's the way of the world. On the plus side, they grow out of it.

Ok, on to a different topic... Now I'm mad at the lazy Megaman EXE dubbers who didn't dub stream... Trying to guess these things is driving me insane... Anyone here know Japanese and have Megaman stream videos they can subtitle?
Anyone?
Crap...

Younger sisters can go f**k themselves.
Mine honestly think she has some God-given right to lie about me to other people right in front of me and not be interupted. No matter how many time I say I'm not afraid of bees anymore, she keeps saying "Yes you are!" And I tell her about my last encounter with a bee, where it landed on my hand while I was drinking a Coke and I just carried on with it.
You know what she says to me? "Just let it go."
Here's what I almost yelled. "Blow me!"
When the hell is she gonna get it into her self-important, uncaring, unthoughtful head that she has no control over me, no power over me and nothing to do with the aspects of my life?!
And as if I don't have any problems with my sister, my brother's just plain stupid. I've done a lot of stupid things in my life and I still do but I'm able to learn from my mistakes. My brother's a f**king imbecile who makes the same mistake and says the same stupid thing over and over and over again and thinks I shouldn't be embarassed when he does/says something stupid! Here's a guy with no future who, like my sister, thinks he's better than me! Imagine a bunch of whiny little pussies thinking they're better than you!

My parents say that getting angry is giving away power. I think that's stupid. What can my @$$h0le siblings do with my anger? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
I love this place *Downs pint*

You have a few options: 1. Have some sort of awesome comeback waiting for when she says something Pros: Can be really amusing sometimes, plus it makes you feel better, and makes you laugh. Cons: Might be difficult depending on what it is she says; could spark further conflict in which parents get involved... 2. Ignore her until she gets bored and goes away. Pros: Parents have no reason to get you in trouble; she stops bugging you. Cons: Can be really really really hard. 3. Ask your parents to get her to leave you alone. Pros: Again, they can't get mad at you, and she goes away. Cons: She might accuse you of being a tattletale. (But really, as long as you've asked her before to quit it, you're not.) Also, your parents might not do much. (Which is really annoying. Especially when they get mad at you for using alternate methods.) That's all I can think of at the moment.

Any examples Warrior? When I play Brawl with anyone, it's customary to taunt everyone you play against.

It's always something like: "You should have jumped further." Or "You should have ducked that Falcon punch"
I don't mind it if she meant it to try to make me a better player, but she always makes it sound like an insult...

Oh well, that's no fun! Me and my friend's have stuff like "Accept it!" or imitate Dedede's laugh. Y'know, funny stuff. Do you have anyone else to play with? If she's being obnoxious just find someone else to play. If you have no one to play...Now you know how I feel...Which is a short version of my rant about how there's no one to play against.

Yeah...
Best thing to do in that case is simply zone out. Go into a videogame stare. eventually, she'll get bored of it.
Or, If you have a PS2, Pick up Gran Turismo 4 and tell her to do all the license tests. In Gold Times. But watch all the demonstration runs, first, so that you know what to criticize her for.

This is probably going to sound a little insensitive.
My friend is about to graduate from university and planning to start med school. He takes some related classes. He tends to read about diseases and disorders then worries he has them.
Tonight he told me he has been sick for months all the suddenly with a constantly runny nose, cold feet (?), and acne. He thinks he has some weird staph infection he read about that does not cause boils but causes the mentioned symptoms and now he thinks he should see a doctor but is not sure when he will be able to. If that is true then he should have been to a doctor a while ago or at the very least made time for it. Honestly I think he is a hypochondriac but that will be for the doctor to decide if he ever actually goes and does not argue them the diagnosis.

This is a bit of a strange rant, but I must get it off my chest. There is a Catholic priest, Fr. Tim Finigan, who runs a reasonably popular religious blog called the Hermeneutic of Continuity. He is also a member of the Latin Mass Society, and says several such Masses every weekend in his parish. Anyway, some sneaky, underhanded parishioners have been in touch with a liberal Catholic magazine called the Tablet, in particular a journalist named Elena Curti. Last week Ms. Curti published an article attacking Fr. Finigan. An article that I can only describe as being downright vicious. Curti paints Fr. Finigan as some sort of bullying tyrant who rules his parish with an iron fist. She claims that vast swathes of people are leaving his parish because of him. She saves her cheapest and nastiest attack until last - she suggests that Fr. Finigan is embezzling church funds. I don't know what annoys me more. Ms. Curti's vitriolic, potentially libellous rant against Fr. Finigan (whose only crime seems to be his preference for Latin), or the gutless parishioners who prefer to stab their priest in the back than discuss their concerns with him openly. If you're a Christian, please pray for him. If not, just reflect on how some journalists are complete and utter b*****ds when it suits them. Incidentally, I would have censored the names of those involved, were it not for the fact that the story has been picked up on by several journalists and prominent personages.
