I'm mad as hell and not going to take it anymore!!!

[perth]

It also gets me when someone says "Calm down man" or "Chill out". Its the wrong time to chill out and stay calm.

this is exactly the time to chill out and stay calm. how can you expect to convince anyone of anything if you cant put together a lucid, well-reasoned argument? maybe we interpret the words differently (but, please, lets not go down that road), but i think its important at all times to keep an objective view of a situation to be able to deal with it.

thats why i disdain the type of rant that started this thread. maybe there are valid points there, but its written in the style of "denis leary without the sense of humour", angry and loud. who wants to hear it?
