Well, the day has finally come. I received my first troll video. I finally pissed off the right people by defending my own rights, just as I knew would happen eventually.

It's just too bad that he made a few mistakes that made him look more foolish than he tried to make me. The first mistake was when he tried to justify things by saying I could have just stayed off the computer, but then how am I supposed to keep in contact with my friends? The second mistake is when he thought that I missed an "I" in a sentence, when the sentence was correct as it was. He didn't see it as an imperative sentence, the kind that have the understood "You" as the subject. The third mistake is that he doesn't know how to pronounce the "L" in my username. He keeps calling me "Zeeger".
The attempt was good I suppose, for what it was supposed to be. It was made as an attempt to get an angry response out of me, but it didn't happen. He got a response alright, but it was a positive one. Stuff like that just reinforces my beliefs. It makes me glad that I am opposite of what that guy pretends to be. If the guy wants to pretend that nobody on the Internet has the right to respect, and he is at odds with me, then that just makes me feel all the better.
J-man should remember this. For some reason I thought about this and found it on YouTube, and felt the hilarity needed to be shared. Enjoy!
There's only 40 fucking cases across US and people are already going apeshit? Here's a hint to not get the swine flu: before you pick your nose, bite your nails, or clean out your nasty ears with those filthy fingers you just rubbed all over some cart at the store, wash your damn hands. Hell, do it twice just to be sure. If you get sick, it's your own damn fault. Don't be lazy, be responsible. If you're too fucking lazy to not spend 20 seconds to wash your hands, then you deserve to get sick. This applies for any illness, not just this swine flu bullshit.
With all of this media coverage of plane crashes in recent times, you'd think these things are just dropping out of the skies left and right. The Hudson incident, that commuter turboprop crash in Buffalo, the Turkish Airlines crash last week. All of this got me thinking about the infamous safety lecture that you get at the begging of each flight, and a wonderful nugget of information I heard recently.
A few months ago I was flying back to Seattle on a Southwest Airlines flight. After boarding the plane and settling in they begin the safety lecture. Now I normally don't pay attention during any of this because I've heard it dozens of times before, however one thing caught my attention.
As our middle aged, slightly overweight, slightly mannish flight attendant Lisa finished yapping about seat belts, she blurted out the following: "While we don't anticipate a change in cabin pressure, in the event that it happens, an oxygen mask will drop down..."
Wait a minute Lisa! Did you just say that you aren't anticipating a change in cabin pressure? Exactly how long have you had this job. Not only do I anticipate that the cabin pressure will change, I demand that it do so. Gradually. At a predetermined rate, based on the rate of climb or descent of the aircraft. Are you trying to tell me that the laws of physics has changed?
I realize that the average person is pretty fuckin' stupid, but there's no need to dumb it down so much. I think that most of us can grasp the simple concept that the pressure can and does change, and what you're really talking about is a rapid decompression.
And if you are too stupid to understand that, then you deserve to die.
