Veiled. Tame. But, in its own way, packing a quiet punch of sublimated hostility.Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-22529322013094417052006-11-13T19:45:00.000-05:002006-11-13T19:45:00.000-05:00DC, watch out for _eZs_yert, he'll frag your ass b...DC, watch out for _eZs_yert, he'll frag your ass but good.<br /><br />PL--If I had gone to school in the current age, I would have been incarcerated several times over. Not only did my notebooks contain the horrible, lovingly-described desecratory acts I wished to see enacted upon the suffering flesh of my asshat classmates, but most of my creative-writing assignments did, as well. I clearly remember, in 7th grade, turning in a short story for English in which we had to describe our twenty-year reunions. In mine, I came in with a beautifully-maintained Kalashnikov and shot up the disco ball, made everybody sit in a big circle and sing "Kum Bay Ya" until their throats bled, and then killed them one by one. It was like 30 notebook pages long, and I got an A. Mostly, I think, because I consistently spelled "eviscerated" correctly at age 12.<br />If I had been constantly censured and had my "escape hatch" blocked off by asshats who thought they knew what was best for me (the way everything else in the world was, dammit!!), then I certainly would have done much more damage to either myself or the general populace. We should *all* be grateful that my teachers, on the whole, had enough experience with adolescents to leave well enough alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20403719.post-54786534364535112042006-11-13T19:12:00.000-05:002006-11-13T19:12:00.000-05:00Why, that makes me so angry I'm gonna fire up Unre...Why, that makes me so angry I'm gonna fire up Unreal Tournament 2004 and slaughter a few thousand aliens with my Flak Cannon, until the announcer declares me to be GODLIKE!!!!<br /><br />Seriously though, it's about sublimation, not acting out. No different in that respect than most sports. And serves a similar positive function for society in general.<br /><br />I feel sorry for this generation of kids.Desert Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656526816699347744noreply@blogger.com
