I'm going to see "XXX" this weekend! Woo Hoo! I haven't been this excited about seeing some dumbass movie since I can't remember when! It just looks like a couple of hours of mindless fun. Mix that with popcorn and MilkDuds, and this gal is in hog heaven!

There has been some debate on my little board over whether or not it's okay for one downtrodden group to be intolerant of other downtrodden groups, simply because the've been downtrodden.

Now, I have no idea how it is to be downtrodden, since at my most pitiful, I'm still a healthy, middle class, white lady. However, it doesn't make sense to me, that anyone should be given a pass on their conduct towards anybody else. No excuse for bad behavior should be allowed, I don't give a shit what your problems are. (Oh, I sound just like one of those conservative talking heads...) Still, there's no substitute for personal responsibility.

Which brings me to one of my most cherished pet peeves!

Alcoholics in recovery, who sit in meetings and speak of how they "didn't know" they were alcoholics. Bullshit! Buddy - you knew! You knew because you were in trouble with the boss, your wife/husband, the kids, the law - you fucking knew! You just didn't want to go through the pain of getting sober, or the trouble and humiliation of cleaning up your mess. Ohhh! I hate that! Plus, I've had enough personal experience with these types of drunks, to know that they play that same unwitting victim role in all their affairs... Gaaaaah! Don't get me started!
