A funny thing happened this weekend: While cruising Vancouver's Craigslist I came across this week's pathetic American post. By that I mean the usual "I hate the US sooo much I'm coming to Canada" crap. Frankly, I despise these little whiners immensely and, being the jerk that I am, I fired off an e-mail detailing exactly how I felt about little pansy leftists, a human rights activist and a musician no less, too cowardly to fight for what they believe in their own country.
What's with all you whiny liberal Americans? Are you
too wimpy to work for what you believe in the most free country in
the world? No, a liberal human rights activist and a musician
aren't needed here, and frankly you couldn't afford the rent on
your Starbucks salary.
I figured that would be it.
It wasn't. Instead I got this reply (edited for length, this guy is longwinded):
Neither of us is too wimpy to work for what we believe in. But we both believe in perspective. It's hard to understand the big picture if you only expose yourself to the small one. It's like this: if you read a book, but you don't understand some of the concepts, you might turn to another book on the same subject, whereupon the first book makes a lot more sense. Or, if a committee . . .
(I told you this guy has a bad case of literary diarrhea) . . .
Maybe, just maybe we don't want to live in a fast-paced, money-solves-everything, buy-more-so-you're-happy, exploit-all, bigger-better-faster-now culture.
And frankly, I don't work at Starbucks, I'm a freelance professional
web designer with years of experience. She's a college grad and a
goddamned genius and can do whatever she puts her mind to.
Ok. This guy is a freelance webdesigner and she's a college grad. How special. More to the point, how does this bozo think he's going to get into Canada? On the point system these two don't come close to the 67 score needed to immigrate, and I doubt musicians are covered under NAFTA. Is he just going to show up and hope no one notices?
To be fair, lets look at his web design skills (and his rather large ego!). Uh huh. Use Front Page much? The third person bit is rich. And do people really compare you to " . . .Classic bands like Led Zeppelin, U2, REM, The Beatles, Genesis, and Pink Floyd"?
Is this guy for real?

You're a real fucking pain in the ass, aren't you? You go out of your way to find people to harrass.
Sociopath. Seek help.
Cool, looks like I got my first stalker. Assuming you're the same anon from my previous thread, when can I expect you to show your brilliance? Come on, let's read your university educated literary abilities! Or maybe I should just define the word "sociopath" for you so you know what the big words you found actually mean . . .
Psycho killer, qu'est-ce que c'est
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, far better
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Ohohoho, aiaiaiai, oooh
...Oh, sorry. I wasn't listening. What were you saying?
Lord, couldn't you at least bless my stalker with a room temp IQ? I guess I could turn word verification off. The SPAM BOTS couldn't be any denser . . .
Meh...I thought you could you use the hits.
Pretty spare around here, don't you think? You know, if you just prettied yourself up a bit, put on a little make-up and maybe buy a new hat, I'm sure more people would like you.
