Things I Really Fucking Hate, Part The Bajillionth:

- Steve Irwin. He taunted animals. Animals taunted back and won. Paleoanthropological theory proved!
- Timothy Treadwell. Though I admit, I got a laugh out of it when I asked my mother if he'd been eaten yet and she said yes.
- "Safe space". What the fuck? When this is applied to a hate comm like cf_hardcore, do they really need a "safe space"? They're haters, dude. If they can't take it, they should shut the fuck up.
- On a related note, the entire concept that somewhere needs to be fucking sanitised For Your Protection makes me nuts. The world does not come with safety straps and it would suck if it did.
- Basically, I'm getting the idea that a "safe space" is somewhere where the nasty ol' world can't come poke you with a stick. Reasonable in small doses, perhaps - but guaranteed to make me froth at the mouth.
- Pathetic Political Posturing. Did you know that Iraq and the War On Terror are linked? After all those years of saying that they're not - they suddenly are. Oh, Joe Lieberman, how I wish to eat your liver.
- Joe Lieberman. Creepy when the VP candidate, pathetic loser now.
- Lawyers. I can't tell you why, because I work in Corporate America, and therefore it is confidential.
- Airline security. On the other hand, at least we're not only dissin' on the Muslims now. The latest instance of someone being thrown off a plane (and forcing the return of the plane to the gate) was a Hasidic Jew who spoke neither English nor French (on an Air Canada flight) who started praying. Clearly, a terrorist. Terrorists often pray, as do normal citizens. Therefore, normal citizens are, clearly, all terrorists.

More as it makes me angry.

I dunno... denying civil rights to people who display any religious affiliations? They could be onto something here. ;)

"safe space"? Isn't that, um, a closet? Or an attic or something? I don't know abou this - I think I need to look it up. Is it an LJ thing, or can I find it on Google?

Germaine Greer had some particularly callous things to say about Steve Irwin... you'd probably agree, I thought it was in poor taste though.

I have one of those. It's called "my house" and is the only place I expect that. :D

Yeah, but people who aren't White Christians are all the same: terrorists. ASDFGHJK! Fuckers. I don’t know about the US, but here the "lets make planes scary" campaign has gone way too far; 3 different reports of plane crashes in 2 days. National tv is usually a lot more subtle than that. Not to mention all the info they gave was where, when, the number of deaths, how baffled the authorities were and all this while showing images of the burning plane remains. *facepalm* Do you hear that, Mister News producer? It's the bewildered herd stomping around in panic!

I'm really puzzled by the reaction to Irwin. Um. Why is everybody surprised?

I won't be surprised when somebody offs themselves on camera on one of those Fear Factor and Jackass shows either.

Re: safespace, I've always felt that "safe space" is what we need in order to heal from injury - emotional, physical, whatever. I want to go off and fix myself back up again before I'm ready to take on any more battles. But I can't live in safe space and I shouldn't want to, its infantilizing.
