A leopard got my goat. Don't know where it came from, why it did it, or how it did it; it just happened.

People who love to talk but never listen.
That I let people like that talk to me.
when I try to talk to girls I can't think of anything to say, except for the worst possible response.
The sandals I wear leave my feet with a tan square in the middle of them.
Finding the trash can full and swapping out the full bag for a new one and taking the full bag out, to find that while i was thking the full one out everyone else happened to need to throw away another bags worth of trash so I can't throw away the one can i needed to in the first place.
Jocks getting special treatment at school.
being in a class with said jocks while they're trying to cheat off of me.
Explaining a long process to someone then right when i finish they laugh and say "what?"

Women who go "men" or blame men for everything wrong with their lives (lesbians included).

People who bleat about equal rights.

Race relations - I grew up in an equal world, I don't need to be told how to talk to another human being.

Tied to that - people who use the phrase "It's beause I is black?". No, it's because you're a twat.

Cultural guilt - I don't give two shits if my ancestor oppressed your ancestor. It was generations before I was born and we're probably related by now anyway.

Cockwits who use their ethnicity to get what they want because of cultural guilt.

Most Health and Safety directives issued post 1997. Seems like more and more of these are just ludicrously over-protective; a recent one being Police Community Support Officers who weren't allowed to (and didn't) jump in and save a drowning boy because it was too hazardous (the kid died too and the fucking Chief Constable had the nerve to say they did the right thing).

Any Reality TV made in the last 5 years, mainly Big Brother. Channel 4 has the rights to the show in the UK and it has just been getting worse and worse. The first series was a bold venture in social experimentation; the more recent ones are borderline pornographic voyeurism.


People who ***** about things they've never tried without any valid reason besides the fact they've heard others ***** about it. e.g. In my gaming experience, I play City of Heroes. There is a particular combination known as firekins (a fire control primary and kinetic secondary powers). I'd heard most people ***** about them for months and thought I'd try one and to this day, it's one of the most fun combinations I've played in the game (and people still ***** about them).

Torchwood - possibly the gayest show on TV besides Queer as Folk (written by the same man, funnily enough).

Gay people who feel the need to "come out". Why?

The Death card generally stands for change, and it depends on the other cards around it as to what will change and whether it will be for the better or for the worse. I've found that the Tower is a much scarier card than Death, it actually stands for a sudden or shocking event.

And yes, I've seen the history of Tarot too, but it's just something I believe in to help sort out events in my life, not quite tell the future. It's more of an organizational method for me. o.0

simply put they mean what ever you tell them to mean, there's no set meaning. the oringal meanings were lost a long time ago, say around oct 13 1307 or so

it's just a fun parlour trick much like a ouija board is

It gets my goat when my shift at work starts on the same morning my last one ended...
i know the feeling, i work 5-9 on friday then 8-12 saturday morning, just 1 hour out of the legal time that im allowed to work between shifts. what makes it worse is that i normally go out friday night and get back about 4ish, and i wake up at 6 lol, normally down 10 red bulls just to get me through 4 hours lol.

I don't mean to get off topic, but didn't tarot cards eventually become what today's playing cards are?

actually they went from being playing cards, to adding the majour arcana, the fancy named cards that have no suit, and then removing them again and changing the suits to what we know today

one of the persistent legends of the majour arcana were ways for the knights templar to teach people their philosophies and lessons and keep it a bit secret and hidden as they traveled, especially after they were "disbanded" on friday oct 13 1307. after seeing several sets of them, i really have little doubt that story doesn't have a lot of truth to it, a few of the cards have blatant references to both the knights templar and the freemasons

stubbing toes, gritting teeth and cracking knuckles.
I crack my toe knuckles when i stub them and then grit my teeth

I forgot 10 year olds who play M rated games, and even more 10 years olds who play them online...even WORSE is when the don't shut up...even WORSE-er is when they beat you *sob*
and people who breath into their mics
and 13 year olds who say stuff like "getting lots of chics and parties"
and 13 year olds that get drunk.
Amen to those, now I gotta say when people are playing online and realized "Holy shit, a girl is here!" and they actually say it out loud! Now recently my goat was gotten in the most ball tickling way, I was playing Naruto Rise of a Ninja and I just started watching the show, (Hopefully you will know what I'm talking about if not I lose 30 hood points) I'm at the part where i'm the 9-tailed fox fighting Gaara in his gigantic sand monster form, I have not enjoyed a boss battle like that since Bowser in Mario 64. (yes I have played games since 1996 that was just the most ENJOYABLE, by that I don't mean easy I just mean I wish I could do it over and over but I can't) Anyway I win the fight and expect that all the cool shit happens now then I watch a fairly lengthy cutscene and it goes to the fucking credits! What the hell?! How can Ubisoft make one of the greatest anime games EVER and just pull my nuts off to use them as Sam Fishers new accessories!!! Fuck you Naruto!

man dont i know how that feels:(
whats worse for me is that i have two bros, one 10, one 17, the 17 yr old uses "ghetto" vocab and uses the stupidest words for the simplest of sentences and the nyou have the 10 yr old picking up these words, i cringe everytime my bro calls me and says "hey mat come and see this, this is sick".
*shudders*
and related to that, what is up with the ghetto speech? why cant ppl talk normally? i aint no ones "blud", "bredrin", "N-word", pisses me off to the max, i actually tell ppl who talk to me like that if they would be so kind as to speak english lol.
People who tell me they enjoy Reppin' Wolf Town also annoy me.
its "reppin L-Town massive" over here(Luton town)
I feel your pain.

What gets my goat are people who think it's funny to be rude or cruel to other people. If you have to tear someone else down to build yourself up, you have real self-esteem issues. Just be yourself and let everyone else be themselves.

hehe both the pentagram/pentacle are funny and i've mentioned what the actual real meaning behind it is

as for tarot that's an even odder story but it has nothing to do with fortune telling, as far as i can tell it has more to do with the knights templar and the freemasons than telling your future

as for the canadian justice system, yeah they've been trying to tweak and change the youth offenders act for a while, it's stupid retards and their precious little crotch fruit that are stopping anything serious from happening, they don't want their little snowflakes punished too much cause they're so precious and unique just like all the other kids

as for the welfare system, that's provincial and ontario doesn't allow the whole welfare baby factory anymore, if you can't/won't find a job they cut you off
Nothing will be changed with the young offenders act. Canada is very much a "liberal" country. Now I'm not a hardcore conservative, but I think like one when it comes to justice. These "slaps on the wrist" are not doing anything to curb this kind of problem with young people. If people actually gave a damn about their kids and what they do, I doubt things would escalate like they are. Then again, I believe that if you've clearly shown that you cant live in society and follow its rules, you should be put in exile. Set up some camp or something in the north on an ice flow.

And about welfare...Manitoba is "supposed" to have "work for welfare" or something to that effect. Clearly it doesn't, or at least its not enforced. My sister in law is definitely not being told to get off her duff and get a job. Neither are a LOT of people living in this town.

Texting in general pisses me off, if you want to talk to me and have my number, call me dammit!

Stereotypical teenagers - Im in high school right now, and many of the people I go to school with piss me off to no end.

anything to do with me not looking my age. Im 17 and I look 14, for some reason people feel the need to remind me of this.

most of the other things that come to mind right now have already been said.

I'm willing to believe that meanings were transferred orally. Just because the group disbanded doesn't mean their teachings were lost. Especially since there are chapters of Freemasons and Knights Templar still meeting today.

P.S, I come from a Masonic family.

yes but the freemasons are unsure of the exact past they have, it's shrouded in mystery, even to them and the knights templar that are around today only share the name of the ancient order of knights we all know and love

so the original meaning of the tarot have been lost over the years, much like the origins of the masons and their rituals, it's one of the downsides to a strictly oral tradition

ps i am a mason and i've done some research

The USA is much the same. Supposedly welfare has ended, but there are so many assistance programs that a woman with a dependent doesn't have to work; they just get shuttled between programs. And where we do choose to crack down is strange, too. There were two early twenty-somethings caught red-handed robbing the District Attorney's house a few years back. They were armed with loaded, stolen weapons (12 Gage shotgun and .357 magnum revolver) and when their homes were searched, stolen goods from about a dozen burglaries were found. They received probation. Meanwhile I know three people who have done a couple months for possession of marijuana, admittedly out of a dozen or so busted for possession. I'm no fan of getting stoned, but come on, it's got to be better than armed burglary.

EDIT: Cheeze, if the moderator closes the thread you're not in the middle of it, you're at the end! Just past the end, now that I think of it.

Wow, it's rare that I meet a random Mason... seriously. You're the second random Mason I've met this year alone. Most of the time I get the "wtf is a Mason?" response, lol.
