Continuation thread for http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/613090-im-going-to-stick-my-rant-on-your-lawn-sign/

(the above closed by Captain Ewok because of size)

---

[From the thread's unofficial leader, Steveklar (SAT):]

 

Tell us your gripes, fears, hopes. (And we'll quickly put you down.)

All are welcome -- chew the fat here.

 

A brief history of this thread: it started off as a place for VJers to rant, vent, talk. It has evolved into an everyday friendly conversation.

 

THE RULES of the thread, from the undersigned.

 

1. We like each other here. So don't be a jerk..
2. No Facebook links.
C. This thread is not for debates, not for fighting.

C2. This is a conversation. Keep it light-hearted.
D. If you see antagonists, just put them on ignore.
Many. If you think that your stinkiness don't stink, please stay out.
G. Not everyone on the planet is going to agree with you, so don't push issues.
Many, Please don't push your political and religious beliefs here.
Many. If you don't like the people here, please don't post here. VJ is full of other threads.
Many. And last, please don't post anything that'll link anything to your identity. We've had problems in the ancestral threads.

 

Don't take anything personally; Many% of the stuff said here is just jive (In the case of T-Bone, it's Many% jive).

 

SAT

 

P.S. This thread is still politically incorrect. Come in come in, rant away. Let us tell you how to suffer. Let us make fun of you...

You don't like cilantro? No judgement here, I can only eat it as part of creamy sauce with lime and tacos.
