Have you not noticed the Tsunami that is the wave of self-entitlement? Things have been going this way for awhile now and everyday I am more disgusted with the general public’s rapidly out of control feelings of self-entitlement, it’s like there is some kind of highly communicable disease that is making everyone horrendously selfish and inconsiderate…oh wait, that’s corporate driven cultural erosion called Capitalism! Welcome to the new era Sick of it, isn’t it grand? If you think it is bad now, just wait till the Mulit-national corporations are done subverting our governments completely, and people thought our rights were being eroded through the 90’s and 00’s!Pray to your corporate gods, maybe if you are a faithful capitalist they will send you a Hummer H3. ; )
All I can say is I want to get my kicks in before the whole shithouse goes up in flames… (Jim Morrison).Oh yeah, that and a Hummer… and not one of those dinky little Hummers either… I want the big MF Hummer…
yeah people look like assholes….only thing is that they are totally clueless about it….there was this little teenage dick on the bus on the weekend who had his walkman blaring…ther driver asked him to turn it down…took his sweet old time doing it….finally a passenger asked him again and he did….kid was a fucking arsehole
