Greetings!

I love the rants, good stuff. I am writing because I read your rant entitled A"nother Stern Defense for Michael Vick" and saw your opinion of Pit Bulls. First off, let me say, you are 100% in regards to media and court systems trying to get the man to serve too much time and blowing it out of proportion. You are right, in my opinion anyway, about the legal system acting utterly retarded at times (the crack sentencing laws getting a lighter sentence because more people are being locked up for crack violations, for example, is just down-right silly).

This e-mail isn't about that, no sir, not at all. I am merely asking you to perform some research on Pit Bulls. I find it odd how the first breed of dog to be used as a therapy dog (Helen Keller owned it), the first animal to obtain the honorary rank of Sargent in the US Army, a symbol of America during WWII, one of the least aggressive (toward humans) according to the American Tempermant Society, and one of the most popular pets for Americans due to it's extreme devotion to the protection of it's owners (particularly their children) has become a breed of dog that is down right feared and hated in the past 25 years. There are numerous reasons this has happened, the criminal element taking a shine to the breed, not unlike Dobermans and Rotties from years gone by, the media contributing many attacks to people on Pit Bulls when the dog isn't , however, the correction is rarely reprinted ('Pit Bull Attack' does generate a bigger stink than 'Dogo Argentina Attack'), and the fact that, even though odds are low one will attack you, the breed can cause extreme damage when they do attack. (German Shepards have a stronger bite though).

I am going on a rant, I am sorry, that is your department. You do it much better than I do, I confess. Still, I do try to stop people being mis-informed about an animal that doesn't deserve the negative press it gets.

Thanks for taking the time to read my e-mail and keep on kicking ass,

Shane

5 minutes after reading your newest rant, I checked my email, and I had that exact piece of spam, down to the spelling and grammar errors. At first I thought you must have been joking, I hoped that nobody could actually think that that scam would work, but now I've been proven wrong.

I've just finished reading your article about smokers and hating them. I'm a smoker and I too support the ban for smoking in public areas. I've seen assholes who light up and are kindly asked to put out their cig tell the person "fuck off I'm almost done". Sometimes I even want to reach over and choke their already putrified lungs. I know I shouldn't talk since like I said, I'm a smoker too. But, at least when someone asks me to please put the cigarette out, I'll do it since I realize not everyone around me is a smoker and may not like it. Hell, even in restaurants I sit in the non smoking section since I know even if I light up in the smoking section, that smoke is eventually going to waft over into the non smokers section. Well, keep up the awesome writing and hope to read more from you soon.

nope, it's not hate mail.
I stumbled onto your site last month due to a recommendation by a forum user who hates chainmail.
So she posted a link to one of your earlier entries titled "The Scourge of Dan McGillicuddy".
Man, I kept cracking up!

I enjoy reading your posts.
The fact that you're married means you're probably a great guy no matter how nasty and upfront your posts may be.
After all, people who can't handle the plain ol' truth think that others are mean, right?
Everyone likes to hear what they want to hear.
Perhaps that's why your blog is different, and I like that, being very direct in opinion myself.

P.S.: Hope you get a job soon.
I've just finished my course in school and am gearing up for a "teaching" job next month.

P.P.S.: Looking forward to your future blog entries!

Later,

Hey there!

Love the site, so happy that there is a 'real' human being out there that has a genuine opinion that I actually agree with lmfao!

Hey, I read your article. You couldn't be anymore correct. I am currently dating a woman with 2 bad fucking kids. The kids are fucked up because she is too fucking weak to beat their asses. She is so worried about them hating her, she allows the crumb snatchers to make her life miserable. A couple of times she admitted to me that she hated going home to her kids due to all the crying and inattentiveness. I laughed to myself and stated to myself, "If you beat their fucking asses, you don't have to worried all the bullshit." So what if they get mad, they will get over it. Parents have to remember, they are not their kids friend, they are disciplinarians. I enjoyed your article, so I thought it was worth a reply.

Dude.......The celebrity world has gotten out of line and out of control and we have to beat it back, beat it down and bring it back to reality if we're all to survive...so when I read this Parisite Hilton piece you wrote, you accurately articulated and described the exact feelings and seething anger of more than 2/3 of what every U.S. citizen felt when they had to endure a week or so of this fucking circus act, flea-ridden bitch. I immediately e-mailed it out to like 5 or 10 of my friends and relatives and told them to e-mail their copy out as well because you were fucking dead on about this stupid, clueless, talentless, brain-dead scourge-of-our-society, IQ deficiency case, walking disease un-affectionately known as Parasite Hilton. Don't worry, we all(uh that would be like, the rest of the "average" people of this country)fucking hate every fiber of her being down to the core. Was hoping a 500 lb meteorite would drop right on top of the "holding cell" and vaporize her and at the same time wipe out any of the multiple infectious diseases that inhabit her piss-ant skeleton. Who needs Valtrex when a cosmic rock can do the trick. Maybe we can get her and that stupid little dog of hers too, but I happen to like chihuahuas and animals myself and wouldn't want them to unnecessarily be dealt a fiery, spectacular death just because the damn thing belong to her. Shall she root in hell we all hope. Great, great fucking article, you laid it all out and expressed how basically 95% of this country, the good ol U.S. of A feels, save all of her piece of crap elitist Follywood fuckhead accomplices. I hate hollywood, as a matter of fact i'm gonna go print up my Huck Follywood t-shirt right now. You've inspired me. This is what we all have had to deal with up to now these recent years and days with these celebrities. It's time to get our lives back and quit worrying about what these god-damned people are doing every second. Which rooftop they're sun-bathing on or which beach the paparazzi catches them naked at. I'm sick of all of it. why do we have to be up their ass all the time and THEM up our asses?!?!? Answer: (Like you said) the god-damned establishment media. Disgusting conglomerate they are, whether it is movie moguls and actors, tv pundits, the news, or any other associated elitist pigs we have to have punched and pushed in our faces on our tv screens 24-7, these days, Parasite Hilton is the official status symbol of these Hollywood fuckheads. I say what most Americans should do to counter these Hollywood flat-belly, hard-body elitist fucks is to go about your everyday lives and QUIT FUCKING PAYING ATTENTION TO WHATEVER THESE PEOPLE DO, out in L.A. or Follywood or where ever, because they THRIVE off of our attention, it is their very chattel and sustenance, without I don't know what they would fucking do without besides keel over, shrivel up and die. Let's put it this way---these "celebrities" don't know who I am. Or my family. Or my friends and co-workers. There isn't a boom mike or camera stuck in our faces 24-7. Noone knows who we are, so why should we constantly know where these spoiled rotten fucking Follywood snobs are every two seconds of existence and when was the last time one of them wiped their ass(oh my God, they're NOT a special breed of homo sapiens.....You mean...they actually wipe their ass too like the rest of us ordinary townsfolk? I thought they were space aliens who don't have an orificial exit and that's why they they're all so full of shit--it's coming out of their eyes!!)

Her name is dead-on....Parasite Hilton, cuz pal, that's what she is. Hollywood sucks too. I'm sick of them. All of them. Thanks for making my day out here on the east coast with that article. Huck Follywood....they created her.
