I'm sorry to hear that you're leaving. It's a shame, but you gotta do what you gotta do. The door is always open here if/when you feel like coming back here.

Rasch, why don't you just jump off a cliff and leave me alone? I don't understand what really is wrong with you. I can only hope it's cancer, because if I ever wanted to drive anyone away, it would be you.

^I dunno, if that happened I'd end up spending way more time on the sift. As it stands now I just tell my wife I'm close to a cure for male-pattern baldness, and she leaves me alone in the computer room, desperately hoping I don't lose my hair like all my uncles did.

The leave me alone stuff you could empathize with in the 80s..... we was an eccentric child star turned great performer/artist who the press mercilessly and unfairly made fun of. ...until the sleeping with children stuff of the last 90s and beyond. He admitted to sleeping with children, he had an alarm in his bedroom to let him know if anyone was approaching the place he was sleeping with kids. When accused of molesting kids on video he didn't deny it, he just got defensive. I can understand missing a piece of your youth in his passing but he was NOT a good person.

I grew up with his music and was a big fan when I was little. I don't think there'll ever be anybody as great as him promote

F*ck it...we all admit to the fact that when we were "little" we listened to him. If his shit came on the radio at ANY TIME of my life, I'd crank that shit...(except for maybe "Ben", I'd listen to it quietly in a dark room)

Reminds me of the time i was walking around chicago around christmas. People were out shoping and my wife and I were looking at the window displays when some jerk next to me screams "ALL YOU HOMOSEXUALS ARE GOING TO HELL" and starts running down the street with a megaphone.

People who want to hear rhetoric like that already have faux news. Leave me alone.

I wrote this kind of hastily i checked and i was actually 11 when Duke Nukem came out.


In reply to this comment by NicoleBee:
You being 8 when Duke nukem came out added to being a teacher now makes me feel like such a filthy underachiever. Thanks a lot.

How about "Some obnoxious sifter won't leave me alone!"

I writes rhymes for rehearsal
but first chill
I gotta little story to tell ya
how I almost caught a
bad one
add one to the list of 2,000 and 1
stupid things to do
I had crew when they stepped at a party
hardly even known I own a Smith & Wesson
but it's resting at home
in a shoe box
they see crews jock
so they wanna step and test the rep I got
I said 'Wait a second,
check inside my coat for a shank'
they must be imagining that I'm money in the bank
they'll get spanked
cause I'm not the nigga
I got bigga brothers waiting in the bushes
to mush kids
I talk when I wanna talk
never silence
violence erupts when I clown ya
catch a beat down ya
cause I never back away from niggas
even if you gotta pistol
I dare ya pull the trigga
but that's suicide
either you must die
or I must
so why bust me
cause I'm guilty
of being in the wrong place
at the wrong time
comin' at ya in the wrong state of mind
I'm now in a hurry
a pow when a flurry
of bullets come speeding by
I needn't die
I gotta make tracks & take back my words
I eat 'em
cause everybody knows I didn't beat 'em...

I'm out on the town
I don't frown at people
cause they tend to get offended
and then the heat will
be on my ass
I got class
never out of line, cause
I'm standing here without a nine
pistols I wish will not blast me
TAZ be circlin' corners
lookin' for Warners
you know the Brothers
me & you
we didn't do shit
but we get hassled
because we crew & we rollin'
this is my car
it isn't stollen
I hope you catch a slug
straight in your colon
when ya walkin' the beat
I bet ya gotta sheet hangin' up in ya closet
phuck this law shit
but there is two laws to follow, you know
there is laws of the city
and there's laws of the ghetto
I go to clubs with a smile on my face
just in case niggas look & wanna whyle in the place
cause of jealousy
Del is me
only me
niggas walkin' in poppin' shit
that's who the phonies be
peep it one night
and you'll see it it's quite clear
since we all know now
that's why we're
never in the wrong place @ the wrong time!

Damn, I hate cops!
I need to bust they chops
always gettin' props for the niggas they pop
peep,

I smoke weed
get weeded
cause I need it to calm my nerves before a pig get bleeded
I got busted for less than a gram of hash
they wanna cram my ass
in the slammer
that punk po-po
bringin' back hash from Amsterdam is a no-no
I didn't know they would catch me
punk mutt fetch me
stretched me out at Customs
gotta bust 'em
I can't call it
they found it in my wallet
now Customs got me
and I just can't stall it
I wish they would leave me alone
dog lookin' at me like
feed me a bone
he might bite me
very likely
they had to strike me with a fine or time
I said fine
mines was 500 bones
for a gram of hash
my mind was blown
come back to Michigan
so we can pitch again
federal offense
now I better go & convince the judge...

Leave me alone.. i like my 2D salads

People like to take credit for their ancestor's "good" things, but refuse to take credit for their sins. For example, D-day... "my grandpa did that! Yeah! He stormed Normandy, sniped an MG-42 crew, and then liberated France. YEAH!!!"

Meanwhile... "Sure my great great grandpa had a few slaves... but that was a long time ago. I had nothing to do with that. Stop blaming me! Damn!!! Leave me alone!"

Either you take credit for all the good and bad things of your forefathers, or you take credit for none of it. I think the latter view is the better way to go.

>> ^dag:
privatisation

It's privatization. Let's not forget where we come from, mister bourgeois Alaskan-European.

Allow me to beat this dead horse. How firefighters are paid is dictated by the community. It's self-governance. If you privatiZe the fire department, I doubt you'd see much change from the current system to be honest.

"Good luck getting them to come, their radios aren't compatible and they use different size hoses."

The radios not being compatible was also a problem during 9-11 when the firefighters couldn't communicate with the police. Those were government firefighters and government police. And, come on, different size hoses?? There are currently two types that everyone uses in the private and public sector. I don't get the whole "government will do it better than the people" mentality. If a community needs something, the community will make it happen.

Now, just leave me alone!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

It seems to me that the prevailing winds of privatisation have shifted. I don't think each community setting up a private fire department (how are they paid - by the home owner after the fact?) It sounds like a nightmare patchwork of different systems providing different levels of service around the country.

Got a big fire one county over and need more trucks? Good luck getting them to come, their radios aren't compatible and they use different size hoses.

Although I like Ron Paul - VideoSift has helped me to realize that I am not a a Libertarian. It seems to be the idea of "just leave me alone" . Fine if you are an individual, but humans work best in groups.

It's the passive-aggressive, emo plant!

Leave me alone!

Life's too complex for relationships to be run via bumper-sticker-sized rules. Some people should be run from, some people should be ignored, some people deserve a second chance, and some people don't. Transgressions, toxicity, and tenacity vary.

I recently had a friend from high school get back in touch and I was kind of pleased, but it didn't take much before I remembered why we lost touch in the first place. I will continue to send one-line, friendly but unenthusiastic replies until she calms down and leaves me alone again.

This isn't the rule: in the same month I found two other people from days past who have vastly enriched my life and who I was delighted to find. I've even had people that I wrote off, justifiably, by my lights, come back into my life and have it be the right thing to let them do so (hell--I even paid for part of rehab for them).

And I know, Swampgirl just wanted to remind people to have an open heart and a little tolerance, and yay for that, but a few other people just wanted to remind people that if yer gettin' kicked, you don't need to keep putin' up with it, and yay for that.
