The Unhappy Thread

[SuperBowser]

My parents won't let me back to uni till the riots stop. I wanted to go early this year as well. Supposedly my area was on tv. As much of a ****hole that Whitechapel is, I really thought the people would be more resistant and guarded against random rioters.

They also burnt down my precious Greggs. Where will I buy my sandwiches and chocolate corn flakes now.

 

[Teran]

So for some reason riots started in London for no apparent reason.

Wrongful shooting by police (which ended up in death).

 

[SuperBowser]

I think this article explained the riots best.

What's wrong with hating parties, and the atmosphere that they exude? It's almost as if, because I don't "go out," that gives my parents reason to hate me more.

Seeing as though our police don't carry guns, unless you produce one, if you get yourself into a position where you have armed police aiming at you then you must be doing something wrong.

Also that doesn't explain the riots in other cities. Or why the rioters are burning down homes and shops at random.

So I'm sticking with my Rage Virus theory.

Your police don't carry guns?
Where do you live?

 

[OmegaXXII]

I'm guessing London, I may be wrong though.

Well not necessarily, there are armed police patrols in London, much moreso since the July 2005 bombings.

Civil unrest, there's more than just that one incident. It's the straw that broke the camel's back. I mean you haven't exactly been happy with what the Tories have been doing, and a lot of others haven't either. Also police in my area today said rioters could be sweeping through my neighbourhood tonight. Should be a blast.

 

[Pluvia]

Can't multi-quote on my phone.

@Chris: UK police don't carry guns or anything, our crimes don't warrent it, even pepper spray or mace (it's the same thing?) is illegal in Britain so armed police would be overkill. Polls towards the public suggest no one wants the police to carry firearms anyway, batons are all they carry unless you produce a gun or dangerous weapon. We're a major country and an island, guns are hard to get here so our gun crime is almost non-exsistant.

@Teran You're the only person that I've seen that said armed police arein London, I've seen various things that contradict you, but you do live there, though do you have a reference?

Anyway it's not civil unrest really, that's just an excuse people like you and me try to put to it, haven't you noticed that the rioter haven't given a reason and are looting and burning private buinesses and homes that have nothing to do with the Tories? It's just thugs rioting for the hell of it.

Oohh a super moderator!
I've never seen one before. I get good luck now.

BTW how is the Brawl scene in London?

 

[Reizilla]

I found the girl of my dreams but she will never be mine T_T

 

[ShroudedOne]

I found the girl of my dreams but she will never be mine T_T

I felt the exact same way this morning. Explain?

 

[Le vieux lapin]

Lol love doesn't exist.

 

[Reizilla]

My avatar. She's some random girl from Seattle. I'm some random dude from Texas

 

[Luigitoilet]

Lol love doesn't exist.

Well aren't you edgy

 

[Vinylic.]

Lol love doesn't exist.

So much for books about sex and video games. >_>

No companion cube 4 u.

 

[ShroudedOne]

Lol love doesn't exist.

I want to agree and disagree at the same time, but I can't. Why?

 

[Vinylic.]

Because life can be such a *****.

I found this disburbing but funny at the same time.

Basically love sucks, too many commitments and obligations as well, want to have some free time while I'm still young before comitting to such things, I don't need a girl whose always going to feel insecure about what I'm doing, sorry if I offended any of the ladies here, but that has always happened to me, from my experience anyway.

 

[ShroudedOne]

That seems to be what a lot of guys say about women, but I'm sure it goes both ways. I do think that people commit to "love" WAAAAY too early, and end up miserable.

"You can always find someone better." That's what I believe. No reason to get married at 19.

But yeah, life sucks.

 

[Vinylic.]

I don't read them. So don't worry. I'm not into love anyway.

 

[Firus]

Lol love doesn't exist.

Yeah you say that now, but just wait until you're just minding your own business one day and then it happens to you.

Anyway, Reizilla, I know how you feel (although through a completely different situation) and I sympathize. =/ It sucks.

What you are describing isn't love, it's monogamy.

 

[Takumaru]

I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and they've been fine until now. Now they hurt like a ***** and the pain killers aren't doing their job very well. :'(

 

[Vinylic.]

Congrats for reminding about MY wisdom teeth.

 

[choknater]

yesterday i read about josef mengele, a nazi 'scientist' and his human experiments on twins. evil, evil stuff. really heart-wrenching to read

 

[El Nino]

I want a yelp-like site where people who work in customer service can write reviews of customers.

I would spam that site with rage face all effing day.

 

[Teran]

We read about Mengele when we were 10.

Kinda explains a lot.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

If I recall, he (or someone) tried interchanging body parts between twins.

Spoiler

Didn't work out so well.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Mengele? Now that has me puzzled, also that twin stuff must be horrid stuff to see I'm assuming.

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

There was this experiment where blue liquid was shot into ones eyes to make them blue. Blue eyes was a preferred eye color.

Spoiler

That didn't turn out so well either...

 

[Spelt]

My eyes are blue.

 

[OmegaXXII]

My eyes are blue.

You should get another award just for saying that.

 

[ShroudedOne]

The potential for twins that I read about in books and manga and the like is very vast and interesting. Twins themselves are interesting phenomena. That being said, though, that kind of stuff is really disgusting.

 

[Strife]

This has been the worst week of my life in quite a while. For once however I'm not going to feel defeated because of all this ****!.

By "all this ****", you mean what?

So my mum avoids new technology like the plague. No matter how hard we try we can't convince her it's a good idea to have a mobile phone.

Anyway, defying all the norms, she bought at 40-inch HD TV today. Our old one is a fat bulky one, the TV's they don't make anymore I think, and is breaking down after years of use, but as soon as she lifted it out the car and set it in the lobby my sister somehow managed to break the oven with a bottle (of which I'm assuming was filled with lead and gold because the oven screen was shattered) so we had to carry the TV back into the car because we can't afford a TV and an oven.

The front door wasn't even closed. The TV must've been in the house for a whole 5 minutes.

 

[Teran]

Breaking an oven?

Wow how can a woman do that?

 

[GunmasterLombardi]

It's fine as long as my girl can still make me a sandwich.

 

[Gatlin]

Left Texas-vacation and such and now back in Arizona. I'm unhappy for the no more vacation and having-a-life-bit, but I'm happy cuz I really didn't like Texas, the humidity is dreadful. That's the only thing I am happy about with being back in AZ. Guess this is sorta just a meh.
