Is your life really all that bad?
Anymore I read ranting and ravings on how bad people's lives are. Just how bad could it be? And if it is really all that bad why do you continue on living it and bitching about it. Either do something to change it or shut the fuck up you whiny assholes

Hi. ^^; How I found this post is a rather long story, and if you think that a comment like this from someone who isn't on your friends' list is an invasion of your privacy, I'll gladly delete it.
I'd like to stick my neck out for the Anonymouse a bit. Because I agree with a majority of what I think they're trying to say, and because I think that the only thing that I disagree with is that they posted anonymously.
Out of curiousity, is this aimed at a specific person who's been doing this repeatedly, or is it aimed at people in general?
Because if it's aimed at people in general, well, I know that a majority of my friends' list puts posts like what you're describing under an lj-cut, with some kind of warning, and I know that I, for one, would be very offended if someone came into an lj-cutted post of mine and told me that I should stop "whining" in my own journal.
Because for some of us, our journals are the only places where we can talk about these kinds of things. And believe me, there are times when we'd love to be able to "either do something to change it or shut the fuck up". But sometimes there's nothing that can be done about a situation, and "whining" in our journals gives us something that we can do.
Yes, sometimes it can be annoying if it's coming repeatedly from the same person. But then you're given the option of not reading it. After all, like you just said, "everyone needs a chance to rant". And a lot of people who rant realize that their ranting won't always be agreed with, just like not everyone agreed with yours.
And while I can understand trying to read everyone's post on your friends' list, don't be suprised if some of your friends are uncomfortable with letting you see personal posts after an outburst like this.
Thank you for your time.

As I had said, I was having a bad day and tired of everyone I knew and several I dont even know bitching about all that they did not have when most of them had more then me. When even I can be grateful for what I do have as I know others who have even less and can be happy. I think I wouldnt have taken their post so badly IF they would have phrased it better.
I have never commented on someone's ranting post unless I know them very well. And even then I do not tell them to 'suck it up.' I am usually very supportive. I want my friends and frankly people in general to be happy and appreciate what they have. Sure everyone has bad things and you need to talk/rant about it, I understand that.
I actually figured most everyone would be offended by my rant, though I was proven wrong on this. But if people on my flist get uncom fortable with me after this I suppose that is their own hang-up. They should come right out and talk to me if I bothered and or offended them like several of them had.
Part of me wants to delete this whole thread, but I decided against it. I want people to know that I can be cutting and snide and rude, but so can everyone just some people hide it better then others.
I appreciate your well thought out and comprehensive response, I really do. It actually made my day that you told me how you felt in such a way.
I do apologize for those who automatically thought that this was aimed at them. Half of my ranting had nothing to do with anyone I have ever met on the computer. I just wish people would ask, like some have, if this was aimed at them instead of assuming, getting angry and possibly hating me over my own rant.
I thought I had more to say, I really wish I could convey how I am thinking and feeling better but I suppose this will do. Again thank you for your comment it was much appreciated.

This can get annoying in real life, and I understand that; I've complained about this myself (I used to have two girls in my English class who did this all the time).
Thanks for responding, and I'm sorry if my first comment seemed like an attack; I was offended by the rant, yes, but it was also 3:00 in the morning.

Oh no it isnt a problem. And your response did not seem like an attack, as I said you worded it well and I could understand you and did not get irritated at all. Lol regardless of the time be it 1 or 3 *grin* I understand being offended and all. It was a nasty post that I made. It happens once in a great while. I have only made one other before and that one was friends locked and personal lol.
