Festivus grievances: Air them!

Postby Lord Tothe » Wed Dec 23, 2015 12:35 pm

Air your grievances!

It's a bit out of date, but NS2 was a disappointment.

The loss of haiku threads in Forum 7 due to lapses in participation is unforgivable.

I am disappointed by the lack of participation in this thread. So very disappointed.

The toilet seat thread.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

How the hell do you wrestle in an online message board?
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I live in the most heavily polluted area of Europe. I'm rather pissed.
Plus we're not getting snow for Christmas. Nor for New Year. Instead we'll be enjoying a three-day traffic shutdown.

It's going to be in the 60's and raining on Christmas Day where I live.

such winter. much snow. many festivities.
For anyone wondering, I joined this website during my edgy teenage years. I made a lot of dumb, awkward posts, flip-flopped between various extreme ideologies, and just generally embarrassed myself. I denounce a sizable amount of my past posts. I am no longer active on NationStates and this nation/account is no longer used.

Meanwhile, we're seeing record breaking cold in Phoenix.

I'm disappointed in the parents who make autistic kids drink bleach, the entire group of people who think autistic kids(like myself) need to be 'fixed', as if we were broken toys, the people who think we are psychopaths...

Actually, I'm disappointed in all the harmful misconceptions about autism in general. Let's just go with that.

Meh, it's 2015, I think people have moved past the whole "autism=retardation" thing.

And "Anti vaxx/bleach" idiots like Jenny McCarthy will always exist, the best thing to do is mock her and her cronies excessively and crudely.

Here in a certain region of the US, we're not getting a white Christmas. We aren't even getting a slightly chilly Christmas. We're having highs in the 60s and 70s for the entire week, with highs approaching 80 around Christmas Day. I can't complain about the lack of bitter winds, but it does ruin the mood a little.
I'm also disappointed that so much of NS history is lost to newcomers like me, preserved only in memories. I like looking at the past.
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

I'm back together with the rest of the family for the Holidays and my Uncle still hasn't grown the fuck up. Nor has my Brother who plays the guitar at 1400 decibles at midnight.

And of course, NSG is no comfort, being a divided battleground between reactionaries of every stain and le militant liberals. Stay classy, you magnificent people.

THIS "*nods*" GARBAGE.

ALL YEAR I HAVE SEEN IT. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS FOR "*nods*" TO NOT BE HERE WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW!

WHAT'S NEXT?

ARE WE GOING TO CALL IT "*nods*mas'?

HECK. WE MIGHT AS WELL JUST RENAME THE SITE *nods*TIONSTATES. EVERY ISSUE IS *nods* WITH THAT ALSO BEING THE ONLY OPTION, AND MEASURMENT.

THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE BOARD *nods* WHERE RULE NUMBER 1 IS THAT YOU CAN'T POST ANYTHING BUT "*nods*"
Nation States stats are unbiased and infallible. Fact-books are supplementary reading material and should be treated as such.

Huh, for some reason I would have thought that Europe's pollution capital would have been in Russia or Romania. I also thought Naples was the most polluted city in Italy. TIL.
