Inspired by the 'Let's Not be Vague' thread: Grrr let's have a rant!!

[minnie_2006]

Grr I don't know about u but so many things annoy me about todays world. For example why (really mainly in England) do half of the teens today smoke or drink? What's so cool about smoking? It just kills u! What's so fun about killin ya self!? Then what's so fun about drinking, stayin out late, partying? It's just soooo stupid! Grow up-I mean some teens thing drinkin/smokin/partyin is cool, it aint! It's just stupid!! Why can't they just get a life! Grr!! So what kinda things annoy u? Just let it all out here

I don't agree with people drinking and smoking and stuff...but I don't see what's wrong with staying out late. I like parties too...it's fun to socialize...I mean, at least to me it is.

Drinking, smoking, drugs are stupid things to do.
It's more stupid when you're a minor.
If you're an adult, it's your choice, but it's stupid.

I am anti drinking until you're drunk. I don't care if you have one drink, it's going to happen. You go to a wedding, there's champagne. You're on a cruise, you're going to drink. But just don't over do it.
AND DON'T DRINK & DRIVE.
I support MADD (I don't literally, but I believe in their message) and I've seen the commercial where the cop was checking in on some loud kids, and then a drunk driver kills him. Innocent people die every year of drunk driving.
There is always an option. Even if you have a small drink, don't drive.

Smoking & drugs are bad. It's not the same as having one drink. One drag and you'll be hooked. I will never try to smoke, or try drugs. It's just disgusting. I know that if I tried to smoke, I would get hooked on it. I won't say 'Oh it smells so bad.' I don't mind the smell, but I know better than to even try it. I will never try it.

Please, no one take ANY of this personally..
i've been grumpy lately.

- I hate the use of OMG. it's annoying and you don't need to say that every 10 seconds.
- I hate how people butt into conversations they are not apart of.
(ex: 2 people are having an argument and someone randomly jumps in)
- i hate how people take FOREVER to make a point, and then when they finally make their point it's pointless.
(ex: make up story and then say it wasn't real and you've wasted 10 minutes of my life. There's 10 minutes i will never get back)

RANT to the person who sits next to me in biology class:
- do not ask me how to spell words you should know how to spell at the age of 17 like "purple" or "eeyore", nor should you ask me how to spell your friend's names.
- do not take my pen, while i am watching, then say, "That's MY pen" when i try to take it back.

person in my class who says "like" and "um" practically every other word:
STTTTTTOOOOOP PLEASE!! I'm BEGGING you.


that's been on my mind and i just needed to let it out.

Are you talking about the OP or does this not having anything to do with them. Sorry I am slow sometimes. About Drug and drinking.... I have family members who have died from being hit by a drunk driver, so I hate both.

Ok I don't agree with that. It doesn't HAVE to happen! My Parents have gone to weddings and gone on cruises and they haven't taken a drink their entire life! And neither will I. Alcohol in any amount is just stupid.

i totally agree with everything u just said!! i mean alcohol is one tiny drink, and some people can't live without it!!

Then don't cook. Vanillia extract is 10% alcohol. Also, some alcohol is good for people. Sometimes, people need some alcohol to help them get along.

I think if your over 21 years old, it's okay to drink UNTIL you get drunk. I agree with Babyjustrun.

I think you just gave the definition of an addiction. Alcohol isn't good for you. People over the years have justified it to the point that you are told to think that.

 

[IrishTink]

1 glass of red wine is good for ur heart.

 

[pacificnorthwester]

Yay a rotten grape! Honestly that's all that wine is, i don't understand WHY people drink it.

 

[Sparx]

Alcohol is actually good for you in small amounts. A few oz. a day for example is good for your heart. But too much of a good thing is a bad one.

Teens drink and use drugs because its wrong. Thats teh whole reason they do it. They're breaking rules, and thats all that they're trying to do.

I've had to use medication with alcohol in it, and that was keeping me out of pain. Don't you dare think you have a right to tell me I can't have that.

Ever had vanilla?
Ever had NyQuill?

Those are both 10% alcohol.

I have no problem with someone who drinks socially. Like a glass of wine here or there. I have problems with people who endanger my life while doing so. Drinking and driving is wrong.

That is EXACTLY what I was aiming to say in a few less words, lol.

As Sparx mentioned, NyQuill has alcohol...some people need that medication in order to get a good night sleep and people need sleep. I was not referencing an addiction.

Yay a rotten grape! Honestly that's all that wine is, i don't understand WHY people drink it.

Heh, you say that is all wine is? Why shouldn't people drink it then? If all it is, is a rotten grape, why are people against wine?

There is more to it than that, yes a huge part of it is grapes...but what else there is, is what makes it illegal to drink until 21 years old...what makes is dangerous when used in large amounts...what makes it bad.

 

[pacificnorthwester]

Look. . .I understand have some items have small amounts of alcohol in them. I'm just saying things like Beer, Wine, Champayne, hard liquir, etc. even if drunk "socially" as you put it, IS WRONG! OK? Will you stop flaming me for stating a true oppinion that could save lives!

Having a half glass of wine is not going to kill you, if anything, it'll help your heart. Acting like an idiot will hurt you or someone else. Millions and millions of people drink every day, but only a handful drive drunk. It is okay to use this substance in an intelligent manner. I know several religious ceremonies involve wine, champaine is drunk at weddings by the bride and groom.

Alcohol is not bad in small amouts, but anything in excess will hurt you.

You aren't being flamed, I'm just respectfully disagreeing with you.

I agree that drinking and driving is bad. Of course I do!!! Anyone who thinks it is okay is ignorant.

I don't think alcohol is THAT bad if some people have a glass of light liquor, or half of a glass of hard liquor. I think alcohol is only bad when used to get drunk...plain and simple as that.


ETA: Sorry, I posted this the same time as Sparx...sorry if it is partially redundant.

 

[Babyjustrun]

Drinking doesn't have to happen no, but I'm stating, in some situations it's okay to drink. It's okay to drink. Period.
It's okay to go home and have a beer after a long day at work. Have something to drink, and then sleep the alcohol out of your system.

 

[pacificnorthwester]

OK by now it's clear I am fighting a losing battle. . .I have always been taught in Religion and at home that drinking is wrong. Period. That's it. I'm sorry that you don't agree. . .I just don't think it's something that people should do. It may seem innocent to have a drink every now and then but I just think it could be habit forming. i won't bug you any more. Sorry you had to listen to my rant for so long. . .Just go and do what you want.

 

[polysisterchick]

Oh, no! def. not talking about the OP....
just saw let's have a rant... so i ranted.
i realize it was off yalls topic.. but yea..

but i agree with, little drinking is fine.
i don't agree to drugs unless it is considered medical.

In my religion, which is Christianity btw, the alter servers, priest, and other church members, drink wine. In my religion, drinking isn't taught as being bad.

I don't think excessive drinking should be done either. I don't agree with people getting drunk and I don't think it is good for people to get addicted. But to use the term "alcohol" so vaguely, you put all of it down and obviously it isn't all bad (Ex: Vanillia Extract).

You aren't bugging anyone, it's okay for people to disagree.
