“Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?” – Confucius

Precise moments of rage are quite hard to identify if you dissect the environment around you at the time, the people, the weather or whatever else surrounding you is fuelling your madness. To be fairly honest in the past I would threaten slaughter without a second thought, my brother says I rose to the drama within. I like to think I have chilled out as I have grown up but there are still a few things that get my blood sizzling. Everyone has soft spots. I have a nice round five bombs of napalm that force my unreasonable fury to explosion.  They are;

1.       Any form of abuse on my family

Just because I might lose my cool and call my dad an ass or my brother a dumbass DOES NOT mean your filthy mouth can.

2.       Discrimination

This is something I can’t for the life of me wrap my mind around. Who exactly gives these bastards the right to be ethnocentric? Who says they get to sit on their imaginary pedestals and point their prejudging fingers at everyone else?

3.       Blatant, selfish, stupid boasting

Power to the people who are confident and have strong beliefs but to shove everyone else’s nose in your-self-proclaimed royalty above the peasants with no ground to stand on isn’t confidence, it’s stupid and it’s irritating. Piss off and find a flock of sheep to enslave with your self-centred ignorance.

4.       Underestimating me

Challenge me, question me, dare me, hit me, beat me senseless, whatever, just don’t underestimate me.

5.       Making fun of physically or mentally handicapped people

Where do you get off?

Surely with all the globalisation and intense levels of telecommunication we can't still be so selfish and simple minded.  All's I'm saying is that a little respect and consideration would eradicate the poison that the assholes strut around handing out like free condoms in public bathrooms.
