These are a few of my least favorite things...



This are those things that I has few likes for, truth being that I hate it.

"We are a nation of consumers, and that's okay."

Thanks Discover Card commercial, thanks for that timeless tidbit of wisdom. Cunts.

So a few weeks ago some politicians were rescued from Columbia with some fancy sort of switcheroo tactics. One of the family members said it was a miracle, a switcheroo is not a fucking miracle. I thought a miracle was something that can't be understood without a supernatural explanation. Cunts.

This homeless woman got on the bus today, she was dripping with sweat and clearly exhausted. This happens during rush hour and so the bus is standing room only, also this is in Arizona so it's the sort of heat that can actually kill you. When most places have heat waves it's uncomfortable, in AZ it can actually be dangerous. As I said, this is rush hour and full, so every block the doors are opening for passengers who are exiting, and taking the cool air with them, while the boarding passengers bring in the heat and their own foul stink. This is a middle aged woman that gets on, the posted signs and rider propriety would normally say that if she's not elderly, then you don't have to offer your seat. One of the sitting passengers did offer his seat, twice. She rejected him both times. Ten minutes later she collapsed, some passengers helped her up and she collapsed again. Another passenger offered her water, she rejected it. She got off the bus at the next stop and took a seat on the bench, in the sun. Cunt.

This woman isn't only a danger to herself, she's a danger to human compassion. Here's a full bus, between forty and fifty people, that will store this little scene in their memory banks. Next time there's an opportunity to offer assistance in some form, they're going to wonder whether or not it'll be accepted. It's embarrassing when people reject that sort of base compassion.
