Rant

I have seen this comment made by multiple people. Could somebody please kindfully explain to me the logic and reasoning behind this? They made one of the greatest comebacks EVER. They beat the almighty Phillies and the extremely well built Brewers. This has truly been an amazing underdog story and I don’t see how people (besides Rangers, Reds, or Cubs fans) feel they do not deserve this and are hoping that they lose. In 2006, they DID NOT deserve the title. An 83 win team in the playoffs is pathetic. But this is a 90 win team, so that cannot be used as an excuse. Whew, rant mode off!
JimmyG I am guessing (and I may be wrong) that you are a cubs fan. If so, the hypocrisy of your statement that we are "arrogant and classless" is ridiculous. Cubs fans are the ones who typically start to do the trash talking in the rivalry. We are not labelled the "best fans in baseball" for nothing. We show respect and tolerance to other ballclubs like no other fans do, unless provoked otherwise (ie: Brandon Phillips). Are there some arrogant Cardinals fans out there? Sure. But that goes for every other teams’ fans as well.
We have the right to talk trash, you guys don’t. All of the Cub fans that I know start the arguments. And you are extremely ignorant if you have never heard Cardinal fans coined as the "best fans in baseball." Come talk to me when the Cubs are actually a contender. Until then, go ahead and keep crying, just because you are jealous that we year in and year out have confidence in our team.

Wow, some people are really stupid because that arugment makes no sense. If you win your division/wild card spot, win the NLDS, and then win the NLCS, you deserve to advance to the World Series. Howevr I have never heard of anyone saying this.

Maybe they say iut because the Rangers have never won the World Series and they feel that the Cardinals should not win since they have the second most amount of championships in MLB history.

Alright, after a bad game in Boston what exactly does this team do? Have another "lovely" effort against the Panthers. Why is it, that year after year this team has the SAME problems? Can’t kill a penalty, can’t run a power play, they haven’t played a full 60 minutes on the year yet. I am one of the younger Leaf fans (mid twenties) who has been a fan of the team since the Gilmour days. Why is it, when other teams have problems, like lets say…they are having a bad season- they are never afraid to fire the coach when they have a chance of saving their season, or their GM. MOST of the time, at least when it comes to the coach, what the heck does this team do? Leave them be for the season then fire them in the off-season. You may say, oh but we are 9-5 on the year. Yes, but look at how this team plays and it is the SAME problems as this team has last year. Sick and tired of seeing goalies that can’t stop beach balls, a weak power play, a pk that is amoungst the worst in the league, a team that is NEVER ready to play a full 60 minutes. The reason as to why I say this now is that I have ZERO confidence in this team (when your team and Florida are the ONLY teams that have NOT made the playoffs since the lockout can you really blame me?) I’m willing to bet that this will be the same result as last year and until this team learns to at least straighten out their "special teams"…or even one of the problems they’ve had since last year mark my words, it’s going to be the same thing only different calendar year. This makes me one PISSED off fan-I have a team in my own backyard (live in Philly) that just went to the finals the other year yet my own team out of the 8 years I’ve been down here has only rewarded me with ONE playoff appearance the entire time I’ve been down here (2004- the first year I lived here).

Sorry for my rant. Anyone else with me?
Sorry firecole, yes they are playing well I’ll give you that, but with the amount of hatred seen towards my team and the crap I’ve taken as a Leaf fan at least online, cheering another Canadian team would be the last thing I’d do.
*firecoal*

we can’t score on the power play if our lives depended on it…what the hell is up with that?

I can see why you’re frustrated, I am a fan of the Hawks first and the Leafs second…I’m going to hang on to some faith in the team though, they have a great bunch of guys playing and the season is early…if I start sounding like a cubs fan, someone shoot me.

I’ve already covered Children & Music (With a little bit of parenting in the children one). I have thought about Food and Film but i’m not sure.

Have you got any ideas for some other things I should rant about in my comedy routine?

Just….no…

These Q & A’s are supposedly carefully filtered yet selected rant and rave are allowed to post and stay posted while legitimate questions are removed or never even posted in the first place. How many users would like to file suit?
While were are at it, maybe we will sue the abusive users personally for harrasment and verbal assault. The Americans will be easy to find through their IP addresses, thanks to the Patriot Act.

Unfortunately any forum remotely similar to this one would contain the same inappropriate infantile content.
Bear in mind that many of these offensive posts are made by "trolls" – mindless idiots with absolutely no life who think it is somehow cool to stir up controversy on web forums.

I only read the title question. Underneath that is too often a huge waste of time.

If the opinion is well laid out and typed in recognizable English, then yes.

I skip anything that sounds like one of those run of the mill repeated drivel.

Why is it that Christians seem to always forget the KKK when they run on about the September 11th and the extreme Muslim fundamentalists that were responsible believing they all are that way?

They also tend to forget about the dark ages, inquisition and witch trials..

They are not smiling, they have blank expressions, they don’t clap very much at all. And Obama’s facial expressions look like he is about to burst into flames! Scary looking! Just look at how mean his eyes are!
What I see on those peoples faces listening to Obama is, Who is this man?

Perhaps you are reading too much into it. It typifies you really, short sighted, quick tempered, and bitter.

and where are you from?

i live in KY and if you dont know. in KY they like to suffocate you with country music, now i dont hate country music, im just not a fan, except that i loooooooove taylor swift and few country songs like "cry’ faith hill, but otherwise im not a huge fan and sometimes i get super annoyed that have to hear it all the time. also im not really a huge fan of hip-hop/R&B/ or rap and im a black person. i do listen to some hip-hop/etc like kid cudi, lupe fiasco,beyonce… but not much. i love pop and rock music. i always have. the past few years i been listening to indie and alternative. i like most all types of rock(not heavy metal) and of course pop music.

when i was a kid i thought black people werent suppose to listen to rock music, because no one in my family did, the only reason i was able to star listening to indie bands was because i heard them on my favorite tv show one tree hill and if it werent for OTH, i would have heard of them at all and in KY most radio stations are country. the 2mainstream radio stations that come in clear sometimes get repetitve with songs and its annoying. also when im with my cousins they like to blast rap songs ive never heard of and i just want to scream, but i just sit there uncomfortable.
the onlt time i get to really enjoy the music is when i can go to the public library and get on youtube.

right now im listening to "going under’-evanescence
i also like, forever the sickest kids, the summer set, mgmt,jacks mannequin, augustana,new politics, foo fighters,all star weekwnd,honor society,jonas brothers,falloutboy,my chemical romance, katy perry, justin bieber,miley cyrus, metric,colbie calliat,cobra starship,selena gomez,demi lovato,chris brown,kate voegele, jana kramer,tyler hilton, too name a few.
any way that was kinda a mini rant wasn’t it,
WHAT DO YOU LISTEN TO AND WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
GOP OP: i took history of rock and roll class in high school so i know that, but it doesnt matter where rock music came from im the only black person i know who really listens to rock music

Punk Scotland.

on it?

I mean any type of racist rant makes primetime, regardless of who it is: Don Imus, Kramer, Mel Gibson, etc.

Why not a hate group as defined by the dept of homeland security? Especially one that had a suit against it by the DOJ recently.

So even if we dont find a certain person *relevent* wouldnt we see some sort of sensational news worthy thing in this story to at least touch on it by our news outlets??

Does it seem logical that they would bypass it unless they want to bury it?

It was not just a "good news story"….it is a story discussed in many a American household, and is not gossip that is none of their business.
In that it is therefore actual news….not just silliness and fluff.

This simply demonstrates that such outlets are of little value any longer to the American people. They are putting themselves into decline and they deserve it.

Is "Gangsta Rap" to blame for the racially derogatory marks of MSNBC radio host Don Imus & the homophobic ….
slurs of "Grey’s Academy" actor Isaiah Washington. What the about the anti-Semetic rant of Mel Gibson or the racist rant of Michael "Kramer" Richards when he repeatedly use the N-word. And if "gansta rap" is responsible does it surprise you that they are all "gangsta rap" fans?
