Just because you let the filthy Democratic party ravage you with its diseased member...
Erk1229: Just because you crave approval and want to be a "grown-up" and so decided to let the filthy Democratic party ravage you with its diseased member doesn't mean you're an "activist," *******, just a tool.
Erk1229: it's like a skeevy affair between a 14-year-old who craves attention and approval and a 40-year-old who can't get any else
Erk1229: Yeah, I've gone to look for America, but I know I'm not going to find it in the dirty asscrack of the Democratic Party.
Erk1229: Seriously, though, she and all her jappy friends' SUVs have enough metal in them to build a small village in Africa, but that doesn't make them feel guilty about consuming enough gasoline to heat poor families' homes for a month while they drive to their parties, or their summer homes in Montauk, or to the weekly meeting of the Coalition for a Humorless, Personality-less America.
Erk1229: I feel guilty about everything I have and do, because even if my actions don't compare to those of most people from this area, they count for something: I still drink brand-name soda and go to the mall and buy my clothing from the GAP and support major record labels. I really need to stop those things; I guess it's consolation, though, that while I am trying to stem those things, and hopefully in college eliminate those nasty habits, those same people look forward to college because they will have the freedom to do more of those things. They don't look past their stupid, trivial lives and opinions. In ten years they're going to be a business executive or a hotshot lawyer and they'll be at the top of the world.
Erk1229: Ten years from then they'll kill themselves, maybe not literally, but they'll know they did something wrong and so they'll do something charitable, only their idea of charity likely involves getting married and knocked up and spawning a new generation of jappy assholes who have nothing better to do than create waste products to keep the grateful plumbing industry thriving.
Erk1229: Sometimes I'm consoled, though: if every high school in America produces people like us, then we know they're out there. If every Class of 2005 has a Jen, a Dave, a Michelle, and others who volunteer their time for worthwhile causes, then there must be thousands out there who think like us and want to work to change society and save the people from the commercialized, hyped, artificial hole we've dug ourselves into. And on top of that there are those who will, in my opinion, have an epiphany or whatnot and join the cause too. Maybe we can recreate an environment like the 1960s.
Erk1229: The conditions are not that different: we're railing against a corporate takeover of our society, a sterile, humorless society based on sucking the money out of our wallets and leaving us wanting more New-and-Improved-Brand-Name-Product, that cleans better than all the competitors and comes with deluxe Kung-fu action, endorsed by all the latest 15-minute celebrities and Jesus himself. We're angry, and we won't just vote, because recent elections have proven to us that our voice doesn't count for shit when compared to Jesus's. We'll do something about it, and that's what is their greatest fear-direct action.

I've been really annoyed this week.
I don't think I'll ever stop being intensely misanthropic, and anyone who can't accept that can bugger off. (Ah, the irony is never lost on me.)
Finally: my favorite thing ever is when a person picks a quote for his or her away message in which the author is clearly satirizing the subject at hand and thus means the diametric opposite of what it says. Especially when it is painfully clear that all this has gone quite over the head of said away-message-offender.
