People who get convinced by metaphors, and those who talk in metaphors.

Jesus · 05-08-2009, 11:07 AM

I hate people who talk in metaphors all the time in a point to try to convince someone. What's even more stupid is when idiots get convinced because of them! If they talk normally they would make very stupid points, but throw in a metaphor and suddenly they sound like Ghandi. I know this disgusting fat kid who's about 18 with long greasy hair who dropped out of his senior year of high school to get his GED and claims that he will be better than all of us because he will become a certified nursing assistant. Hold on one second, you are fat, greasy, you never shower, you spend your free time in your house smoking weed all day, you smoke three packs of cigarettes a day, and you drink booze every hour of your life and push away everybody. How the hell do you think you will become a good nurse's assistant? How the hell do you expect to be more successful than me when you can't even take care of yourself? If you were my CNA I would ****ing request to move hospitals at once and have you investigated! That's not to say that a CNA is something to strive to be when you spend your days giving people spongebath's and wiping their asses and taking everyone's vitals three times a day. So after arguing with him about this he feeds me some stupid quote from BOB MARLEY THE REGGAE SINGER and afterwards says "I rest my case". I wasn't convinced in the slightest by what he said and called him an idiot and just left the room. Who was convinced though? A bunch of idiots because his quote from Bob Marley just suddenly made this piece of **** seem so much better. He's not a nice kid either, he intentionally goes out of the way to make himself look badass by being an ******* to everybody around him. He doesn't work and takes advantage of government checks because his parents are disabled as well.

Gluttony, greed, and his inability to function in modern society are disgusting traits to have and will be the death of him someday. Also, he has ruined metaphors for me completely.

[EDIT] Oh how could I forget to add in more parts as to why you fail at life? The fact that you smoke weed and cigarettes and drink your parent's alcohol in your house and without consequence shows that your parents have given up on you. They let you drop out, so what hint do they have that they care? You may think that they are just giving you freedom to do what you want but you are wrong and it is not cool. Your parents gave up on you. Your mother suffered a stroke and is dying yet you pollute your house with your disgusting habits. You snort percaset and your only friends are a career drug addict and a kid who used to hide extacy pills in a skittles bag in junior high school. How do you think your mother feels on the inside? How do you think your father feels on the inside? They aren't proud of you, they are dissappointed and it is sick how you have no consideration for anyone but yourself. You would be a terrible CNA. Clean up your own god damn room too because that plate with a half-eaten steak has been there for months. (I'm not kidding about the half-eaten steak either)

Basically I am venting because there is this kid I know of in the nieghborhood who has been harrassing my mom's hospital trying to get a job there and based on everything that adds up with him he wouldn't stand a chance in hell. My mom even explained it to him that they would never hire him. It's caused a lot of conflicts around town, some calling the kid a smart kid who just "lives it real". I've never been so pissed off at someone before. Don't say I should feel sorry for him, he did it to himself and it was his choice. If you guys would allow me I would show you his facebook and you would agree right off the bat that this kid is a failure but I will give you a general idea as embarrassing him would just be mean. Heck, maybe if I linked his facebook here for your viewing pleasure he would try to turn it into an accomplishment and brag about how he is pissing people off.

You lost me. Uh... Your topic is about metaphors, yet... it turns out to be an attack on somebody.

... I didn't even see a single metaphor.

Jesus · 05-08-2009, 12:02 PM

Basically this is a failure of a person who tries to make himself sound so much more convincing because he talks in metaphors. There are a lot of idiots around here who get caught up in what the trouble-maker has to say and are convinced by him. I guess it's a dual vent. I'm sorry if my attack was uncalled for but it makes me upset that a failure at life can convince ANYONE into thinking he is intelligent. He said some weird metaphor by Bob Marley (forgot what it was) and a couple of the kids around here were like "Oh yeah you make a lot of sense when you put it that way".

I know it sounds corny, but if you met this kid even for a week you would understand where I come from completely. I needed to vent that out and I feel a little better and I wish there was something better I could do about the situation but I don't know what.

Some people put the best outside;
Some people keep the best inside;
Some people cant stand up strong;
Some people wont wait for long.

^Is that it?

It's the only one I can find that seems to fit.

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-08-2009, 12:26 PM

This topic is a train on course for the edge of a cliff.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

**LASER BEAR ASSAULT UNIT** · 05-08-2009, 12:48 PM

Eurgh, for once, I can see where WvsW is coming from somewhat, the weed, drinking, ect. It's fine if it doesn't effect his work in the hospital.

The not washing being clean ect makes him a danger to paitents.

Speed · 05-08-2009, 01:11 PM

Metaphors are like you, they make no sense and should never be heard aloud.

ZeldaGirl · 05-08-2009, 01:51 PM

^He's venting. He's allowed to do that. And you know what, I understand the point that he's trying to make. If you don't, or are only going to harass him, fine, get the hell out of the topic. That goes for ALL of you.

WvsW - first, NO linking to facebook. I think that's just a tad inappropriate.

Secondly - it sucks, but some people in the world are just like that. They don't do the hard work and yet somehow are idolized by everyone they come in contact with. Right now, the best you can do is just avoid him; you know that he's not making good choices, so don't associate yourself with him whenever you can. Sorry you have to deal with that. :/

heh · 05-08-2009, 02:06 PM

this thread is a metaphor for a trainwreck

see it seems somewhat ok at first but then it slides off the rails

***CaptHayfever*** · 05-09-2009, 12:02 AM

^Yes, that's what I was saying. With my metaphor.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

ah, VGF

Best thing to do is to ignore him. He seems like a minor pest at best, or something.

Robotazy · 05-09-2009, 12:42 AM

cool story bro.

Haha well I wasn't really going to link to facebook. I mean, the kid has thrown his life away pretty much at such a young age and he still thinks he will become something in the near future. What's more, that people actually believe him and think that he will be soo successful. When I was entering into my degree of graphic design I was basically brushed off as like something unimportant and I ended up at a very nice advertising agency in Portsmouth.

ZeldaGirl · 05-09-2009, 01:02 AM

^Oh good.

It sucks, but there are just people in the world who are like that - they act as if they are entitled to everything, and that it will magically appear before them one day.

Vapor · 05-11-2009, 08:43 PM

....Okay?

Metaphors in themselves aren't bad, but toolboxes who think they'll sound cool and smart when they use them constantly are idiots.
