You get the Darwin Award for NOT GETTING DARWIN AWARDS

Term ended for me today. Hooray. *falls over*

But now, you get a story. A story of why I am SO DAMN GLAD I didn't have to physically attend my Web 2.0 class.

There was this guy. I can't remember his name. Frankly I don't want to. Huzzah, this sounds lovely already, doesn't it?

Anywhoo. He talks a lot. I figured this out just from sharing a class room

~virtually beats the jerk about the head with a large, smelly, long-deceased trout~

[jenioctavia]

WOO!

I really do wish some one would, though. :|

[sharkcowsheep]

Has no one ever told him he's also entitled to hear when he's being a poorly-informed and tedious fuckup?

Because goodness, I'd say he's earned that.

[jenioctavia]

"Jerk" honestly was the mildest of things I could have called him. If I'd been a little less... flustered I probably would have called him a judgmental, egotistical pissant who's no better than anyone else he seems to be talking down to.

[sharkcowsheep]

Being flustered is totally fine. Coolly telling an asshole off, to the point where said asshole is stunned and cowed and slinks away to reconsider his position on the matter at hand, is one of those mystical skills that all the really cool people apparently have. Never seen it happen. Ever.

Anyway, if "I'm entitled to my opinion" is the best defense he's got going, he's doomed to have his viewpoint casually dismissed: all it means is "you can't make me stop talking". Which is true, sort of--you can't physically clamp his mouth shut. Clearly. :D This guy is noxious and selfish company, and that will have natural consequences.

Please don't think too deeply or fret about the latest thing to drop out of his face. I can guarantee that he doesn't.

[jenioctavia]

Mm, I'm trying not to. I don't know why it's continued to gnaw at me for most of the evening. Probably because, again, I came from not so wonderful stock and it's a struggle just to get through life. Last thing I need is some one saying my parents should have never made me.

Truly noxious. I don't think anyone's opinion has ever made me feel the urge to VOMIT before. That's a new one.

And yes, only really cool people. Like actors. :)

[advancing]

... Well. I think that was the sound of my faith in humanity hitting rock bottom.

To turn his own words against him, though? People like HIM shouldn't be allowed to breed. Vasectomy anyone?

[jenioctavia]

Yeah, that's what Mom said. If there was selective breeding, he sure as shit wouldn't be in it.

[advancing]

And this is why I'm convinced that 90% of the population is stupid.

[sharkcowsheep]

Far too low. 100% of the population is stupid, it's just a question of when you're looking.

I'm technically classified as disabled, as my Turner's Syndrome affects my motor skills and certain logic areas of learning, and we were poor too.

I could read and understand at a 12 grade level in sixth grade.

I cannot have children (thus weeding out those genes.

I have a BA, in Political Science.

The fucktard doesn't know who or what he's talking about.

[jenioctavia]

No, he doesn't. I grew up with ADHD, I deal with near debilitation depression, and my biological mother had MPD. There are mentally handicapped people who WORK AT LANE doing cleaning work, and yet he was saying this.

Seriously. Made me ILL. I want to find him and take a 2x4 to his face. See how well he fits in to the gene pool then.

[wily_willywonka]

People like that shouldn't be allowed to breed. I'm glad that you stepped up and became the better person and stood up for your mother and anyone else that has a handicap. It doesn't make them any less than human. I think they are highly important to our society and to the way we view prejudices. I really do think that they are much better at viewing life than a person that has all functions. Plus, they don't give up as easily as someone that does have complete funtion.

They are a source of inspiration to me and that cad really should understand what he says is retarded in its own right. He's a waste of space in my opinion, but that's water under the bridge now. I'm sorry that you had to go through all of that.

I totally agree with you that some day, someone will pop him in his mouth for having diarreaha of the brain.

[jenioctavia]

Some one will. I'm just sad I'll miss it.

I did get annoyed after about a year of riding the bus here because there is quite a heavy number of physically and mentally disabled here in Eugene, and the ones in wheel chairs were taking up a lot of room on my morning commute (I'm talking two wheel chairs on an already packed bus) and I, personally, have problems standing because I've got a blown out knee. But my thoughts on that was "why doesn't Eugene just... get them their own transportation? Portland does that." I wasn't ever faulting them for being disabled, or mad at them for being disabled. I was merely wishing for a little more efficiency in my morning commute.

I don't care who the person is. If I haven't known them for more than a week of my life, I'm not going to judge them. And I would never say that they shouldn't exist. What is life if we're not existing? Even if it's not that great of one you're still ALIVE.

I can't tell if he needs to have a stick shoved in his ass, or one removed.

[wily_willywonka]

Understood and duly noted. I meant no disrespect. I misunderstood and I do apologize.

You're very right about the whole second paragraph of your comment and yes, I do so agree, hence why I had aplogized. I shouldn't have been so harsh with my words. I've been a bit jaded lately from having too much interaction with those that simply don't understand why people are the way people are. We can either choose to talk or choose to ignore depending upon the subjects spoken.

As far as the stick is concerned, I don't want to find out.

[jenioctavia]

I don't want to find out about the stick either. :|

Nah, it's cool. I got fired from my last customer service job back in April, so I actually had a little time to calm down from being so irritated with people all the time. Back then I probably would have said exactly the same thing. This time, though, this guy actually hit the right button to both set me off and sadden me at the same time. But, I don't know, maybe a small part of me can be grateful to him? He made me realize I should watch what I think and not let my irritation take over in situations that don't need it, like the whole issue with the bus system here.
