I do not have a speech impediment, nor do I need help answering the phones. I get paid 15 an hour to do my job and I do a damn good job of doing so.

Leave me the f**k alone.

Problem solved.

I quit.

Who was the one giving you problems at your old job, employer or customers?

[Deadpool]

Probably employer. You get some sorry customers, but they leave after a while. When you have a boss that pulls at you all the time, that goes on and on.

[Specktren]

they chose to exclude me ...

f**k them.

I have another Rant(I rant alot)

Radicals, Especially Christian Radicals.

They go overboard with something and make the whole group look like fools.
Ever watch a reality show, where they bring in a person with whom you share a trait, Faith, Orientation, Race, Star Wars Fandom?
Because it makes better TV they get the Nutcases, or those with uncommon beliefs.
I hate to see those Fundementalist, Megachurch, Cradle Christians, that they put on there, they slam anyone who isn't Christian, take Scripture out of context and use it to make more hard feelings, and then they proclaim themselves Holy, and make a Utter fool out of themselves and broadcast Stereotypes across the freaking country.

It ruins people's opinion of me and my beliefs before I even meet them, and(in my case, as a Christian) it makes witnessing impossible.

I wish they would finally get someone who represents my faith, or anyones beliefs in a fair way.

[GaMeR]

Yep.

Unfortunately, the media has gone downhill lately (which is nothing new really). The best way to combat it is to support those who can accurately represent your message, or do it yourself somehow. But you can't fully blame the media in my opinion. The viewers have some fault as well, for not only taking what they see on TV too seriously but also for being close minded about it.

Example: On the news the viewers will see some psychopath guy who was a Counter-Strike player that participated in a school shooting. They'll automatically assume that video games caused him to do it, and then will ignore claims about video games not being the true source when facts are later presented that it instead was caused by something like peer abuse etc.

That is of course, assuming that it's a stereotypical TV viewer who feeds off Britney Spears gossip to go about their daily routines :P

A Christian's, (believer) true operation is to help bring the dying lost to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The only time we as believers are to preach down someone's throat or defend to the bitter end of things, is when someone blasphemes God and His word.

That brings me to another rant.
I am tired of all these backstabbing lunatics in the world that take from others without caring at all. And people that will steal and idea from you and say it is theirs.

[The Dr0w Ranger]

I tend to agree that that it is a Christian's job to spread the Word, but we are not supposed to EVER cram it down someone's throat.
We just need to defend our faith in a respectable way.

Signatures.

You know, those professional (hah!) and conventional (yup!) graphics.

Umm, yeah.

I'm probably at rock bottom when it comes to making signatures because I just don't get it. I should be able to make these (with some effort) and make it look effortless (of course) but I can't.

I've always been in a rut when it came to signature-making. I've looked over hundreds of tutorials... Maybe it's just not in me. But I need it. Just cause. (Just cause it's the most popular type of graphic besides nude and we all know that THAT isn't allowed.)

*sighs*

*Goes and try to make that signature I've been working on for the past 2 hours*

[GaMeR]

Well perhaps you are overdoing the effects.

A good sig. doesn't necessarily have to be that flashy.
