Did I Miss Something???

Hello.
I said, in my last posting, that I would not be posting my rants here all the time, but I am posting them once in a while. Today I ran across the most ridiculous thing I have read in a long time. Don't get me wrong; I don't tend to believe everything I read. But, when the comments come directly from the individual, and not as second-hand information, then I feel I can take it at face value. The topic was Satan worshipers, but the person who made the comments was Islamic.??? And that person accused the Jews of being devil-worshipers??? Did I miss something? Aren't Jewish people supposed to be God's chosen people? I know I read that in the Bible when I was growing up. If that is the case, why would they worship Satan??? Didn't Jesus Christ say: "A house divided against itself can not stand" when the Pharasees accused him of having a devil, himself, and he asked them: "Can Satan cast out Satan?" This is not a sermon. I am only using these references from Biblical scripture to illustrate my point. I can not see downing any religious beliefs just to make myself or my beliefs look good, or seem more appealing. That is wrong, in any case. I have no beef with Islamic peoples as long as they respect other beliefs. What bothers me is, that person has found a whole group of  'friends' who believe the same things that he or she does. I know that is not completely unusual in this wide world. What is unusual is finding them on a very popular internet site. A place where I had encountered a certain amount of bigotry, but never on so large a scale. Scary thought, that. The poster was pointing fingers at a variety of famous people, and denouncing them all as Devil worshipers. All because of a particular, common gesture they all used. (Not a middle finger, by the way.) I found the whole business to be ludicrous. I  actually know the true origin of the aforementioned gesture. It originated with the Romani Gypsies, and was not considered in the least Satanic, but was, in fact,  used to ward off evil. Reactionary groups, of that sort, have existed throughout history; think Nazi Germany. They are always so certain they are right. Yet, these groups are usually short-lived. I wonder why? Don't you?

Feel Free to Rant and Rave

Hello, everyone.
I am running this site a bit differently from my other two. Here, the public can comment about anything which leaves them steamed. This place is for members to rant and/or rave about any and everything which 'irks' them. I will not be posting regular Information and news, or my opinions here all the time. I am leaving the floor open to people out there who have something important to say about such varied topics as favored employees, reckless drivers, unfit parents, people who push ahead in lines, etc. Please, feel free to comment on any of these and many more topics that interest you, and we will go from there. But, please remember to adhere to the guidelines. This is a family-friendly site. Lets keep it that way. Thank you. Anna

An Introduction, Of Sorts

Welcome to the page where you can get your pet peeves out in the open. This sight is for those individuals who get fed up with all of the mindless insanity which the human race is capable of, not only perpetrating, but also perpetuating. Feel free to rant and rave here, about the things in life that "bug" you. Frustration is not a healthy emotion, but can be vented here. For example, topics such as job inequality, and stereotyping, as well as age-related  or racial or sexual prejudices can be discussed here, as long as participants adhere to a few guidelines, which are discussed elsewhere on this site. If everyone complies, this could become the site to talk about at work, or even with family and friends. Intellectual discussions or even debates are a possibility as well. Who knows? All I can do is put this site out there and see what develops. Please, enjoy!
