			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Somebody clearly wants me to visit this web page because the links and adverts are on every website I visit now, probably got some tracking cookie :/</p>
<p>http://www.thelakeoffire.com/</p>
<p>It’s basically a website that asks the question is hell real and then answers it for you(yes apparently) without actually weighing up any evidence whatsoever from the other side of the argument.<br />
the bottom line of this website is<br />
&#8220;ooo accept the ancient long-dead jew into your life or the loving perfect god will cast you into this big scary(imaginary) lake of fire, so be christian now!!!! MWUHAHAHAHAAAAA&#8221;</p>
<p>DON’T.THINK.SO.</p>
<p>this website actually thinks the testimonies of randomers and bible count as evidence<br />
no wonder it didn’t include any evidence to the counter, it must have known the other side of the argument would have wiped the floor with the theist ramblings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Metal music, and why it’s not shit.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Right people I have wanted to do a blog on this subject for a while, but I have never been angry enough until now. Until some dickhead on the Internet started spewing his ignorant retarded verbal feces of an opinion at me.</p>
<p>I have a new opinion to disembowel <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Oh the joy.</p>
<p>Right.</p>
<p>Metal is the kind of music most people love to hate. I&#8217;ve heard people say all kinds of unjust untrue and ignorant things about it.<br />
In this I&#8217;m gonna go through every single accusation and criticism I&#8217;ve heard normal people say about metal and put it through a bullsh*t filter.<br />
Because I am sick of all the ignorant condescending crap that spews from peoples mouths the moment they discover the music i like&#8230;</p>
<p>and for me&#8230; thats almost instantly, given the fact most of my wardrobe is advertising one metal band or another.</p>
<p>These articles of bullsh*t (that i intend to kill stone dead) are as follows:</p>
<p>&#8220;metal is just rawr rawr rawr and hitting the drums as fast as they can and random strumin the guitar&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal has little /no skill&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal is just noise&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal singers can&#8217;t sing&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal is evil music&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal is the devils music&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal is not music&#8221;<br />
&#8220;all metal sounds the same&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal is not artistic&#8221;</p>
<p>If you have ever even uttered any one of these verbal retardations, by the end of these blog you should feel shame. Even some of my best friends have said these</p>
<p>things.<br />
I don&#8217;t want people to love metal and say how great it is constantly i just want understanding and acceptance.<br />
Time to piss out some fires of ignorance and stupidity.</p>
<p>Ok here goes:</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ll start with the skill business.</p>
<p>Guitars and basses:<br />
Metal is not just strumming the guitar randomly. AT ALL. If you would care to actually listen to some metal before saying this it would help.<br />
I play guitar myself and I am immensely offended. Metal is a hell of a lot more complicated musically than your favourite indie band. You haven&#8217;t got a hope in hell of playing such complicated riffs are are played in say the arcane order.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">The rhythms in the breakdowns,the key and time changes&#8230; they would make you shit your pants.<br />
You couldn&#8217;t fucking play the solo on the infinite ghost anathema! You like the guns and roses solo on welcome to the jungle do you?!<br />
Well the arcane order has solos about about 3 times as fast and longer and with 2 guitars playing them in harmony. IT&#8217;S IMMENSE, IT&#8217;S EPIC.<br />
I&#8217;D LOVE TO SEE YOU DO THAT!<br />
Metal guitarists, use more than 1 fucking boring tuning like your favourite indie band, they don&#8217;t just play the same boring rhythm for every chord like I&#8217;ve heard pop bands doing. It&#8217;s fucking fast and fucking complicated, a hell of a lot more skillful than the nicely strummed barre chords you favourite britpop band uses. Not to mention the fact that metal uses more than just 1 fucking song structure!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">It&#8217;s not verse chorus all the fricking time like it is with fall out boy!</p>
<p>Drums:<br />
I am not a drummer. But i can tell you this,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=driNqZN1Yy8</p>
<p><object width="497" height="398"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-dO-2cfFlWE&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-dO-2cfFlWE&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="497" height="398" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Watch these videos and then tell me how shit metal drumming is?<br />
Seriously watch his feet. Most of you indie kids don&#8217;t even have a sense of rhythm and you think you can tell all the 1000&#8242;s of metal drummers in world they had no skill?<br />
WTF are you on?!</p>
<p>Vocals:<br />
This is probably gonna be the hardest thing to tackle , but metal screaming actually has a lot of skill, if you don&#8217;t do it right , you can fuck up your voice permanently.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Johnathon Carswell told me there is no skill or technique to it at all. WRONG. If that&#8217;s the case then why is there an instructional DVD out that teaches you how to scream correctly??? PWNED If I gave you the mic what the best thing you could do? Whine like a jackass?</p>
<p><object width="497" height="398"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/tptChkpxMoQ&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/tptChkpxMoQ&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="497" height="398" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Can you do that? didn&#8217;t think so. Metal screaming is also a hell of a lot more passionate than most singing styles. it conveys far more anger and emotion than singing</p>
<p>can lot of the time.<br />
Also, for the record, it doesn&#8217;t all sound the same. You can hit more than you note , there are raspy screams, inwards screams, guttural screams, black metal screeches, hardcore barks , thrash metal rawrs&#8230; and most descent screamers can switch between these styles easily and sing as well! what can the singer from your favourite band do? not much I&#8217;m guessing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I was speaking to screamer last year and he said it takes just as long to learn to scream as it does to learn to sing.<br />
Scar symmetry is an example of a band with a descent vocalist , he can scream and sing and better than green day ever could:</p>
<p>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2LTaNb9zQQ</p>
<p>So please would you mind not being so stuck up about metal vocalists? my friend George would be offended.<br />
While it may be true that some vocalist are shit, but someone who is used to metal can tell they can&#8217;t scream, the same way, you can tell if a singer can&#8217;t sing.<br />
Just because you are not used to it. doesn&#8217;t mean it&#8217;s shit.</p>
<p>Statements like &#8220;metal singers can&#8217;t sing&#8221; are retarded because it order for you to be able to make such a statement, you must of heard every single metal singer on planet earth and judged there singing ability beyond doubt. Saying things like that is inane.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">The same goes for most of those statements.</p>
<p>The majority of metal&#8217;s critics (notice I say the majority not all, as I cannot know for certain) are people who have heard very little metal, and could only name about 4-5 metal bands, most of which would be mainstream rap/alt metal, which most metal fans don&#8217;t really consider to be metal at all, as it&#8217;s very simplistic.<br />
So if you fit in this bracket, I suggest you shut up as you are no position to say anything about it, because you barely know what metal is, nevermind it being enough information to criticize metal.</p>
<p>&#8220;metal is evil music&#8221;<br />
&#8220;metal is the devils music&#8221;<br />
I would normally laugh at balls like this, but today I&#8217;ll take it seriously.<br />
Firstly i would like to say what i said before, unless you have heard every single metal on planet earth and assessed there evil-ness, you can&#8217;t say jack shit and be taken seriously. NEVER generalize. EVER. Or I&#8217;ll hunt you down and feed you to the creature at bottom of my garden.<br />
Secondly&#8230; most metal musicians I know, myself included, would be rather annoyed at a fictional villain taking credit for there work.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Thirdly, Christian metal exists(if you think Christianity isn&#8217;t evil that is). it&#8217;s preaches crap in the lyrics like nothing else. Even Christian death metal bands exist. check &#8220;impending doom&#8221; or &#8220;beneath the sky&#8221;<br />
Even some bands that I like are Christians , although they don&#8217;t mention it in there lyrics , As i lay dying? Still remains?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Also. WELL DURR. Some metal is evil. WELL DONE!! *clap clap clap* you dumbass. Don&#8217;t like it? Don&#8217;t listen to black metal then! What kind of dumb state is metal is evil&#8230;. so what? some of it is, some of it isn&#8217;t, whats your fucking point mate? how can a music be actually evil anyway, it&#8217;s flipping sound waves! Yes, alot of extreme metal lyrics are nasty but so what? it&#8217;s still sound waves! How about saying &#8220;SOME of metals LYRICS are evil&#8221; that makes more sense, but it&#8217;s still a rubbish criticism<br />
Personally I&#8217;ll stick with the metal that doesn&#8217;t care about good and evil, and sings about whatever it wants( thats what most of it&#8217;s like by the way)</p>
<p>&#8220;all metal sounds the same&#8221;<br />
Some of my friends said this recently and gawwwd it annoyed me.<br />
Are you shitting me???<br />
I have researched this and There are more sub-genres of metal there there are of ANY other genre of music. So how it is possible that all metal sounds the same&gt;??<br />
How about you could out of your rap/r n b hole and actually listen to some metal and tell me what sound the same???<br />
Dragonforce, sound nothing like Bring Me The Horizon, who sound nothing like Sybreed, who sound nothing like Nightwish, who sound nothing like The Arcane<br />
Order, who sound nothing like Emmure , who sound nothing like Ministry,&#8230; I could go on for weeks saying that stuff.<br />
Yes for every descent original style created by a band, you get your shitty clone bands, but for the most part, metal is an incredibly diverse area of music. INCREDABLY.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Seriously, there is everything from Electro-metal , to Opera metal, Hardcore to Power metal, bands within each genre all have different tinges to there sound, In the same way your indie bands don&#8217;t all sound the same. Saying all metal sound the same is quite frankly, ignorant and stupid.</p>
<p>&#8220;metal is not music&#8221;<br />
This statement is blatant falsehood<br />
Music is organised sound. Metal is organised sound. Metal is music.<br />
Metal has keys, Time signatures, Song structures, rhythms and some melody just like any other type of music.<br />
Metal is music. Deal with it.</p>
<p>&#8220;metal is not artistic&#8221;<br />
This hurts the most. Every time I hear this being a said I feel stressed and down for the rest of the day.<br />
Do you mean to tell me that all those 100&#8242;s of people:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">*points at 200 strong C.D. collection behind him*</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">&#8230;have not put one ounce of feeling and passion into there music?! Do you mean to tell me that the millions of metal musicians across the world are just wasting there time?!<br />
Are you f*cking joking me?<br />
I&#8217;ll tell you this. It&#8217;s more artistic than the mundane lyrics across 2 alternating chord sequences that makes up your favourite indie bands music!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">You saying all these people who put their soul into creating spine-chilling, mosh-worthy, exhilarating riffs and spell binding solos are just not doing anything artist???</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Shows just what you know about being artistic doesn&#8217;t it!</p>
<p>Also another thing that annoys me is:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO DEFEND METAL AT ALL.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">It seems to me that metal gets the most shit out of all the music genres, and as far as I can see, for no good reason.</p>
<p>If you genuinely believe the media stereotypes, and random hear say, without listening to the music first, you are a joke.<br />
If I wanted to, I could dissect your favourite music(if it&#8217;s naff) and provide twice as many founded reason for disliking it, as you could provide unfounded ones for hating metal.</p>
<p>If this blog leaves your opinion unchanged, you are a dickhead and I hate you. Please stop breathing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;">This is happening with alarming regularity now and it’s really annoying me,</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">people seem to be of the opinion that if a hold an opinion different to their&#8217;s i am automatically narrow-minded. For example my friend Chris says because I laugh at him for believing in ghosts i am narrow-minded</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">NO.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">NO NO NO NO NO .NO</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">thats not me being Narrow-minded, thats him being a gullible fuckwit.-(harsh but true)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Seriously I was out camping with him and he is like OOOooo what if ghosts get us , every little noise from outside and he whimpers like an injured dog&#8230;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">and if I question this bizarre fear&#8230; I get:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">OOOOOOHHH I’M SOO NARROW MINDED , I SHOULD JUST OPEN MY FUCKING MIND, AND CONSIDER THAT THEY MIGHT EXIST.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">WTF!? What the fuck do you think evidence is mate? WHAT DO YOU THINK IT IS?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Yes they MIGHT exist, but thats not evidence. Them &#8220;MIGHT EXISTING&#8221; isn’t going to sway me.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I’m sorry you believe anything at the drop of hat, but that doesn’t make me narrow-minded.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">the whole basis for his crazy ideas come from some documentary he has seen on the TV&#8230; because documentaries on TV are always right :/ (ARGGHH!!!)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">If your are that gullible, one day you will get conned by and I will laugh my socks pink and green.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">If you present me with some actual evidence, you will find my &#8220;narrow-mindedness&#8221; starts to change.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Natalie and loads of other people have called me narrow-minded for different reasons, most of these include disliking certain mainstream bands:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">(e.g. green day, avenged sevenfold etc&#8230;)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">This one gets me ten times more than the last one, because anyone with less than half a brain can see i am the least musically narrow-minded person you can find.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">how many metallers do you know that can say they also like vangelis and have a load of post-rock, instrumental, classical and electronica CDs?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Seriously; I listen to more obscure bands than green day has letters in all there song names. When they are listening too more weird music spanning more unheard of genres than me, ONLY THEN can they call me narrow minded.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I dislike mainstream bands, in my opinion, for good reason:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I dislike them because they are musically predictable, uninteresting, boring etc&#8230; Seriously over-rated, they get masses and masses of glory for creating short simple, predictable guitar work, with boring song structures, over used techniques,lyrics about the same old stuff.. shit that I&#8217;ve heard a millions time before.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I’m just not interested!!!! Being not interested in dull shit does NOT make me narrow-minded. AT ALL.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Tell me do you listen to interlock, or sybreed or even royksopp? no?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">THEN DON’T GIVE ME SHIT ABOUT BEING NARROWMINDED. Because I personally and passionately believe that I have a ten fold bigger case and against most people being narrow-minded, than you have against me!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Got that!? (another blog on than me thinks)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">and for the record, those band i mention i do actually like, and listen to a lot.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">So to everyone who think i am narrow-minded.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">the following statement is for you:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">FUCK OFF AND GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;">It’s come to my attention that the catholic church don’t like the latest British human embryo bill.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">this is a bill which basically allows scientists to combine elements of human DNA with cow DNA in order to further research cures for some degenerative diseases.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">the catholic church have got all hoi-ty-toi-ty about it and got this cardinal guy Keith O&#8217;Brien to make a speech and condemn it.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">What i want top know is&#8230;. WHY?! nobody even the faith heads i know can’t actaully tell me why they think it’s a bad idea?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Nobody can actually provide a rational , logical, backed up reason why not.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I wish these fucking bastards in the church, would go a see some poor dying bastard with the diseases concerned. How would they like it having these diseases.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">It’s basically telling all those suffers some powerful mans faith is more important than there lives.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">THAT IS FUCKING EVIL.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">why do the church have any say whatsoever in what goes on in a lab somewhere seriously??? WHICH DIMWIT GAVE THEM THIS POWER??? whoever they are they need a slap</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">it infuriates me that an ignorant fuckwit in a church with no qualifications in any science at all , can say to some research scientist, on the basis of &#8220;faith&#8221; alone&#8230;. &#8220;oh yes, what your doing is wrong, i’m sorry you can’t do that, stop now, it’s horrible..&#8221;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">WTFF!!!!!!!!!! WHY DO THEY NOT WANT THIS GO AHEAD SERIOUSLY????</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">WHY?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I’ve been scanning the web for answers and it seems the best excuse they have is that</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">&#8220;the human soul&#8221; is created at conception and is we go round messing with the DNA of these embryos we are meddling with it and this is wrong.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">When i first read stuff of these stuff i was tempted to laugh my head off&#8230; but lets give the reason a chance shall we?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Assume the soul exists&#8230;How the fuck do they know when the human soul is created??? it doesn’t say so in bible(cos I&#8217;ve read it) the primates(no thats an insult to apes) who wrote the bible knew nothing of &#8220;conception&#8221; anyway, it was all magic to them. maybe the catholic chjurch just decided it? after all they did just decide Mary flew bodily into heaven without dying , so surely they can decide when their human soul is created without any evidence as well.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I suppose they will just have to have faith thats when it’s created <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">and why is it wrong?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Do you think this is a good enough reason to tell a research scientist he is not allowed to save lives?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I bloody hope not</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">it’s pathetic ,ill-thought-out, ignorant and bigoted</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">I really wish somebody high up the government would pwn these guys arses good proper, put them back in their place.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Unfortunately this will never happens because our government is too pussy to stand up to any of these people, and the joys of fucking political correctness will prevent us from correcting these delusional fuckers. Because of course&#8230; faith is sooo import in todays society&#8230; will someone please hand me a shotgun!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">THE END.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;">Ok.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">This is a blog about how dumb people can be:<br />
As you might know, I am a member of &#8220;Allpoetry&#8221; ( :/ yeah i know what you&#8217;re thinking)<br />
Anyway I commented this &#8220;poem&#8221;<br />
About AP family&#8217;s which are basically sad role play families, for sad people on the website:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;AP families</em></p>
<p><em>many will not agree</em></p>
<p><em>such a funny thing</em></p>
<p><em>when it comes to contest</em></p>
<p><em>who will win you or me?</em></p>
<p><em>It is like religion</em></p>
<p><em>and politics every one</em></p>
<p><em>has a different opinion about it.&#8221;<br />
</em></p>
<p>http://allpoetry.com/poem/3991813</p>
<p>Alot of other poets commented on it heaping on the praise like nothing else , saying what a fucking brilliant poem it was. WTF? it&#8217;s shit?<br />
So i said:</p>
<p>&#8220;no offense, but is this a poem?&#8221;</p>
<p>after she had obviously read my authors page which said my religious view and music i liked<br />
I then got this <em>personal</em> message as a reply to my negative <em>comment</em>:</p>
<p>&#8220;yes dear as sure as God is in his heaven and I do not like metal in my music it was a poem&#8230; not a good one I agree nonetheless a poem. You are so sure of so much to be so young on this page wow. I do not think I was this together at age thirty&#8230; hey sweetone give Jesus a chance..&#8221;</p>
<p>Seriously? I knew people were dumb but this is taking the piss.<br />
People mature at different rates, you&#8217;re still a dumb fuck after age 30.your loss.<br />
seriously you&#8217;ve just read my page and started giving me ill-thought-out retarded semi-critisism&#8230; like WTF? Get a brain.<br />
I&#8217;ve given your imaginary jewish zombie a bloooody &#8220;chance&#8221; already, thankyou , you condescending bitch.<br />
Why are you even telling me &#8220;i don&#8217;t like metal in my music&#8221;???</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">YEAH; AND;&#8230;..so what&#8217;s it gotta do with me?!<br />
How can you have metal IN your music anyway. Metal is the name of the genre!!! The statement itself doesn&#8217;t even make sense.<br />
It&#8217;s like trying to be smart and patronizing and completely and utterly failing. WTF.</p>
<p>I mean you posted that &#8220;poem&#8221; with no poetic devices (thats no metaphor,simile,rhyme,rhythm) no story, no condensed descriptions, nothing requiring any skill whatsoever&#8230;..and I fairly ask, is it a poem?<br />
and I get this disappointing, rather snotty message back.<br />
I think you should read my poem &#8220;I am an idiot&#8221; it&#8217;s written your from your point of view.<br />
The way you are so sure you yourself annoys me intensely, snobbishly telling me that (someone  you don&#8217;t know) you are certain an invisible man in sky hears your thoughts and acts on them.That the world was created after the dinosaurs&#8230;you should be fucking locked up!<br />
not for being religious, but for such a retarded reply!</p>
<p>you absolute retard, don&#8217;t ever reproduce!!!</p>
<p>oh and yes:<br />
YES I AM &#8220;RELIGIONIST&#8221;.</p>
<p>well not to the point I will actually treat you differently than other folks, but if you ever say something as dumb as this, please expect to get your opinion shat on.</p>
<p>I Thank you for you time.</p>
<p>now please use your brain , or might get pissed off with you enough to smash it out and take it.</p>
<p>good day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;">GMTV this morning&#8230;</p>
<p>Contained rather large sections of &#8220;news&#8221; about &#8220;Today&#8217;s youth&#8221; and &#8220;yob culture&#8221;<br />
Apparently according to the thick woman who sits on the sofa, it&#8217;s all gone down the pan and we are all scary violent yobs who ought to go and do national service.<br />
We were told some horror stories about people getting stabbed etc&#8230;<br />
&#8230;and it seems like just a few cases of this up and down the country, and the whole of &#8220;todays youth&#8221; are feared, because we are of course, all pure evil.</p>
<p>Every last f*cking one of us sets out everyday to intimidate people and makes the ordinary persons life hell&#8230; don&#8217;t we?</p>
<p>Well according to the media that is the case.</p>
<p>I am (and i hope you are too) sick of hearing about &#8220;todays youth&#8221; and how nasty and disrespectful we are.<br />
When will they understand we are not all like that?!<br />
It&#8217;s so frustrating hearing these massive sweeping assumptions made on TV about todays youth going to sh*t.<br />
These yob arseholes are a minority amongst teenagers.<br />
SO PLEASE DON&#8217;T REFER TO THEM AS TODAY&#8217;S YOUTH.<br />
I AM NOT A YOB!!!!!!!!!<br />
The rest of teenager-dom hates these yobs with a passion.<br />
They are called chavs.<br />
you know??? haven&#8217;t you seen them in their Adidas jacket, knife wilding glory???<br />
NOT ALL OF US ARE LIKE THIS.<br />
Until you have met every f*cking single one of &#8220;todays youth&#8221; and have proof are are all disrespectful n*bheads, please, for f*cks sake DO NOT use massive generalization &#8220;today&#8217;s youth&#8221; again!</p>
<p>And you wonder why we don&#8217;t respect you when you don&#8217;t respect us???<br />
You continually think they worst of us ALL the time(and yes thats a generalization too , but it&#8217;s actually true for the majority).<br />
When you simply do not know us.</p>
<p>I get strangers crossing the road and walking as far away as possible from me when they pass me in the street; like i&#8217;m gonna beat them up or something??? My friends have told about the same happening to them also, about getting comments from random members of the public about what they are doing.<br />
More examples:<br />
Me and my friends Sami and Chris were talking and walking down an alleyway in town and some women comes out of her house to accuse us of graffiti-ing a nearby lamp post!<br />
We get approached by police randomly when passing the chav hang outs.<br />
They are limits on how many kids can go in a shop at a time because we might steal things.<br />
We get patronized all the freaking time and talked down to by our &#8220;elders&#8221;, I know many people my age will agree we are the first to be blamed for loads of things</p>
<p>It&#8217;s irrational and stupid not to mention insulting.I will not respect irrationality and stupidity. End Of.</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t get respect you earn it. My friend Anne once said that, and it is true.<br />
People need to appreciate that  people do just get respect for nothing more than being older, (many older people are stupid as hell)you get respect for being a descent human in my book.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let biased and flawed media based on minority cases sway your opinion of the whole of teenagers everywhere. Because if you do, quite frankly, you are one dumb sh*t.</p>
<p>We hate the chavs as much as you do, but please allow it to enter your small brains we aren&#8217;t all like that.<br />
I&#8217;m nice. Honest i am.<br />
&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;(yes i do hate them they attack me regularly)</p>
<p>Apparently 50 people have died as a result of gang/yob culture last year.<br />
Shocking statistic? &#8230;.No.<br />
Please use your brains and compare that to the actual number of teenagers today(millions).I bet more people are murdered by adults each year.</p>
<p>David Cameron (and the thick women on the red sofa)<br />
Think we should be made to do national military service training.<br />
Get us to be more respectful (aka: scare the shit outta us until we have &#8220;more respect&#8221;)</p>
<p>You can almost guess what I am going to say can&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>They can ram it up their backsides for the following reasons:</p>
<p>1) Why would you punish us all for a minority of w*nkers?</p>
<p>2) Why would you pass the police&#8217;s burden of dealing with the violent yobs on to the military, i bet the military aren&#8217;t happy about that.</p>
<p>3) Adults come out, mentality ill and you want teenagers in there?</p>
<p>4) Make me.</p>
<p>Get a grip folks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This has been getting me frustrated for a long time now.<br />
So I figured rather than just letting it stew in my brain I&#8217;d let people read it.<br />
I hope I can get my point across.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s about a new trend which no doubt everyone will have heard of &#8220;emo&#8221;( short for emotional apparently.) and it&#8217;s subculture and music&#8230;<br />
(in this blog i&#8217;m gonna assume you know what it is)</p>
<p>The reason i am annoyed is not because emo exists , but because it&#8217;s misused and it&#8217;s been hi-jacked by ignorant people and used as an insult against anyone different to themselves.</p>
<p>Picture this scene:</p>
<p>I have a mate called Andy in year 9, he is about as emo as your granma.He barely wears any black , no dyed and straightened fringe , no nothing.<br />
He is sat listening to a favourite band of his on his Ipod &#8211;  Cannibal Corpse&#8230;<br />
His friend comes up to him and asks him &#8220;Why are you listening to emo music?&#8221;</p>
<p>I have several problems with this question:</p>
<p>Cannibal Corpse is a death metal band.Most people who consider themselves emo would not not touch death metal with a bargepole.</p>
<p>Metal is characteristically, very fast, low register, with low tuned distorted guitars, harsh vocals,angry lyrics about almost anything, complex and aggressive drumming.Basically very precise and aggressive music.</p>
<p>Emo on the other hand is nearly always has clean vocals, not as fast , not where near as aggressive, hardly any down tuning of the guitars, less distortion, kinda like watered down punk rock with more depressing lyrics.</p>
<p>Not much alike are they???</p>
<p>(Ever called anyone goth? goth is something different entirely)</p>
<p>It annoys me greatly that people should automatically assume that any &#8220;heavy&#8221; or outcasted music they hear is *insert name of lastest subculture/trend here*.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s NOT.</p>
<p>Metal predates emo by 20 years. Even metal as extreme as death metal predates emo 15 years.</p>
<p>So please don&#8217;t call metal, emo , or vices versa(OR goth for that matter)<br />
because it simply isn&#8217;t, if you wanna insult someone just because their music taste differs from your at least get your facts straight.</p>
<p>Other thing that pisses me off about that question is:<br />
Why does the questioner need to approve of the music???</p>
<p>Andy&#8217;s, or anyone Else&#8217;s for that matter? Can&#8217;t he listen to whatever the fuck he wants?<br />
What is it to the questioner? It&#8217;s not like he is being forced to listen to the music? If he doesn&#8217;t like like it&#8230; he can f**k off and listen to his own.<br />
It&#8217;s like the questioner and many like the questioner (and there are alot believe me) are striving for a universally accepted idea of what is good music.</p>
<p>He can f*ck off.Simple as.<br />
People shouldn&#8217;t listen to things because it&#8217;s cool and acceptable.It&#8217;s f*cking stupid.</p>
<p>Many people are always telling me how metal is shit and providing vague and flawed reasons for it and I intent to pwn their arse in a later blog ,<br />
As I still have something to explain on this subject of emo.</p>
<p>In this blog I have another aim besides showing the differance between emo and metal.<br />
I am always getting these retards coming up to me saying *puts stupid voice on* &#8220;Go slit your wrists you fucking emo&#8221; (No I don&#8217;t do it <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_neutral.gif' alt=':|' class='wp-smiley' />  ).ARGH.I wanna talk about this as well. I&#8217;m not gonna say whether self harm is good or bad.I&#8217;m gonna say<br />
&#8220;What the f*ck does it have to do with emo???&#8221;</p>
<p>Again, self harm predates emo by f*ck knows how many years.<br />
I know myself many people who aren&#8217;t  &#8220;emos&#8221; who selfharm,<br />
and many many &#8220;emos&#8221; who don&#8217;t.<br />
I&#8217;m not gonna say self harm and emo are completely unrelated, as many idiots who are trying to fit with the bounderys of the trend, think it&#8217;s nessersery to be &#8220;emo&#8221;(which shows they don&#8217;t understand what selfharm is for).</p>
<p>You notice that these are the people who show it off??? The ones who actaully roll up their sleeves to show the world.<br />
So it&#8217;s easy to see why you would think Emo = Selfharm, but think of the masses of people who haven&#8217;t rolled up thier sleeves! whats under there? I bet those people outnumber the pretenious idiots.(use your brain folks)</p>
<p>Those &#8220;emos&#8221; only show it off because they want to be seen as more emo.<br />
That is a large smack in the face to all those genuine people who are suffering with the problem.<br />
They are actaully ashamed and therefore won&#8217;t parade it around so you don&#8217;t notice them.But you notice that minority of attention seeking emos don&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>People shouldn&#8217;t form their opinion based on that.</p>
<p>So net time you think of calling the Emo at the back of class&#8221; to go slit his or her wrists.THINK before you make a stupid ignorant retard of a comment.</p>
<p>I mean 5 years ago, if you self harmed, you were called goth???(which is another type of music (It&#8217;s not all the same :O (the shock))</p>
<p>It seems to me that goth, mosher and emo have become interchangable terms for the ignorant retards amoung us to use as insults against anyone they happen not to like.</p>
<p>Also.<br />
I find it odd that thier are people who actually actively try to fit into these inane human catagorys too!<br />
But slating sterotypes is for another blog.</p>
<p>I intend to do blogs like this for stuff like:<br />
Stereotypes ,<br />
Irrational prejudice<br />
Politics (waits for the reader to cringe <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Religion</p>
<p>and lots of other stuff</p>
<p>In abit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> I am regularly called weird.By many people, including: friends , enemies, teachers, family, chavs and generally a lot of different people.</p>
<p>Usually it is Not a compliment, but an insult :/ .This does not make me happy, to say the least.</p>
<p>They call me in simply because I do not share there opinions/taste in fashion/taste in music/religion/stupidity/irrational desire to conform.</p>
<p>There are number of irritating misconceptions about &#8220;being weird&#8221;.I intend to deal with these in this blog. As they frustrate me intensely and lead to more completely pointless insults hurled my way.(e.g.  my art teacher openly calls me insane in class,  and mercilessly takes the piss out of me.(that&#8217;s because pwn his art <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p>I will now correct all misconceptions/Blind media influenced assumptions:</p>
<p>Being weird does NOT make me ANY of the following:</p>
<p>- &#8220;Goff&#8221;<br />
- &#8220;Mosha&#8221;<br />
- &#8220;Emo&#8221; (no no definitely not)<br />
- Satanist<br />
- Murderous<br />
- Evil<br />
- A nasty person<br />
- A self harmer<br />
- &#8220;Geek&#8221;<br />
- Insane</p>
<p>However being weird does make me:</p>
<p>- Alienated (Your Fault)<br />
- Unique<br />
- Have the creativity to do something beyond boring normality<br />
- Less of a clone<br />
- Write shit like this</p>
<p>If you disagree, you are probably:</p>
<p>- A total w*nker<br />
- Ignorant<br />
- Obnoxious<br />
- Normal<br />
- Arrogant<br />
- Slightly stupid</p>
<p>&#8230;and if you disagree with that , feel free to:</p>
<p>- Jump off a bridge</p>
<p>Yours truly john.</p>
