iXHS Issue 26 About Cry me a River By Ruiner HAHAHAHAHA O C Transpo is on strike! What you think of that, Ottawa?! I bet you're all hating it! I bet you're all thinking "A Strike? What the hell?! They can't do that!!!!! I have to like, get to Birdman Music and try to sell my guitar and pretend that it's really important becuase it makes me look like I'm employed as a musician because I'm always carrying this useless guitar around" or "They can't strike becuase I have to get to martial arts class, this strike will ruin everything, especially my dream of becoming a professional ninja like Ryu in Ninja Gaiden" I bet you all just want to kick the bus drivers eh? Hmmm...yes, good idea, I love that mentality, "If I see an OC Transpo bus driver, I'll punch him in the stomach and then knee him in the face" Yeah, that's how you get them back to work, maybe if you beat them they'll have a desire to drive you worthless sniveling morons around. They should spit on you and laugh at you for being so dependent on their service. This strike lets you know who controls Ottawa eh? Obviously it's the bus drivers, since the fact that their striking has brought the Ottawa Carleton area into a state of regional emergency (or so it would seem according to the Ottawa citizen) Yes, the Ottawa citizen isn't biased at all, I love looking at the Citylife section and reading about how old people feel trapped now that they can't go anywhere, and how people can't get to work, yes that's what happens when people don't own a car and they work 50km from their house and they haven't heard of carpooling. Oh yes, and I feel very sympathetic towards the family who is on social assistance and their child wishes for a car for Christmas so he go to his gymnastics class. Seriously, if they want a car, then quit complaining about the bus strike and cut out gymnastics, extras are great when they're affordable, but when they're not then get rid of them, of course cutting gymnastics would make having a car useless because there would be no place for them to go. Also, I love calling freenet (which is where I find both people that are sensible about the strike and snivling morons who just whine, actually the whiners are the inspiration for this rant, and a couple of my points up above such as the one about kicking the bus drivers come from freenet morons) and finding posts from idiots such as one particular post in ncf.sigs.irc where some guy says "Thanks to the bus strike I can't see my girlfriend anymore, so like, off a few bus drivers for me please" yep, done and done, bus drivers killed for whiney egocentric idiot. Jeeze, cry me a river, you can't really expect me to be sympathetic with you, are busses the only mode of transportation in this world? Do you have a brain? How can you not go anywhere? Are the parked busses blocking all the doors and windows of your house so you can't get out? God, there's tons of ways of getting somewhere. And I also love the people that say "I make less than them, I work at a deli, and I'm not complaining" uhm, so? These people are experiencing cuts to the quality of their work/life, maybe you don't complain now deli-girl, but if all of a sudden you were handed a paycheque thats half of what it should be, then would you complain? I sure hope that you would. But what you're saying is that people shouldn't complain no matter what? Or that if you're making less than what someone who is striking makes then the strikers should look to you and then give up? I don't understand your point, deli-girl. Are you saying that the drivers don't have a right to strike because you're making less. Do you people think that the OC Transpo drivers don't have a right to strike because you people depend on them so much? Ha, all the more reason to hope that they get what they want and the strike ends, but nooo-oooo, you people just complain and complain about yourselves as if you're the core of the earth. You'd rather kick the drivers than support them, and where does that get YOU? Nowhere, you want to get to work or the museum (where you pretend to work) but you don't want the drivers to get what they want, I think that this is a major flaw in everyones thinking. It's the drivers that are on strike, they're the ones that aren't working, and as a result, none of you are working (or so the Citizen would have me believe) but you won't support them. Which makes me wonder how long I'll have to hear retarded complaints about how the drivers are so bad for not taking them to the movie theatre to see Romeo & Juliet 2099 or whatever the hell the trendy movie is this weekend. God, the sooner the drivers get the public support the sooner the strike will end and the sooner you idiots can stop complaining. God, it makes perfect sence, quit complaining about yourself and how you can't see your girlfriend and maybe help to improve the situation instead of being a worthless retard who should have the oxygen removed from the air you breathe.
