On Unromantic Assholes

Dear Asshole,

A couple of points:

First; women aren't objects. You're not in any position to "collect" them. They aren't meant to be treated the way you do. You're not in love with them. You're just fucking sexually frustrated. And I believe you'll remain as such for the rest of your miserable days with the way you treat women; unless of course some gay dude manages to fuck you in the ass.

Second; you don't ask a lady questions that invade her personal space. She says it to you when you deserve it. Mind what questions you ask when you want to "get to know" them. I bet you don't even know her favorite color, number, food, etc. and yet, you're already diving into her most innermost secrets. What's worse is that you only know the lady online and you act like you're her childhood friend. Again, you're just displaying your sexual frustration, which I doubt would be sated by the opposite gender.

Finally; you're flirting with a girl with a significant other thinking her boyfriend is too overprotective. Let me ask you this, what kind of boyfriend wouldn't want to protect his princess? Maybe the guy really was going a bit overboard, choking her freedom. However I don't care about that. If you're the fucking reason the guy wants to protect the girl in the first place, I must take his side.

Seriously, the way you act is pathetic, unromantic, unrefined, and disgusting. It makes me cringe in disgust with just the thought of you even though I don't really care of you.

tl;dr: The way you treat women is WRONG.

Sincerely,

Refined Romantic Gentleman,

On .docx File Format

Dear Professors and Fellow Students,

Please do not use the .docx file format. Not everyone has an updated version of Microsoft Office. Heck, not everyone has a copy of any version of Microsoft Office. This goes especially true for impoverished students such as myself, who rely on free or open source software such as OpenOffice.Org. Using .doc files is bad enough. But, since some software do provide support for this, it's okay. However, using .docx files should be penalized when meant to be shared.

The thing is, not everyone can afford commercial software. Sure, you can tell us to pirate it, but some of us don't like to for ethical or resource or whatever reason. You should always save your files in a format that's openly viewable by free, easy to access, and lightweight software.

Please save your files in .pdf (portable document format). Or even .txt (text file) if all you're encoding is plain text, or .rtf (rich text format) if they have fancy stuff, and if they need to be edited. Heck, save them in .doc format if you must. Or even better, use online documenting and sharing solutions. All I'm asking is for you to avoid the .docx at all cost, and at all times. Please.

tl;dr: Don't save as .docx.

Sincerely,

Free Software User,

On Irritating Atheists

Dear Atheist,

You know, the only reason I have developed a particular dislike in some religious fanatics is because they forcefully impose their beliefs upon others, hating those who believe otherwise, and look down upon non-believers of their religion. I find it sad that you, who has chosen not to belong in an organized religion or believe in a deity or deities, are starting to become like them. You forcefully impose your disbelief upon others, hating believers, and look down upon religious people.

Learn to respect other people's beliefs. Just because they believe in something you don't doesn't mean they're lower than you or anything. Everyone has a right to believe or not, and it doesn't make them any less human just because they do.

It's okay to argue every once in a while. But every time you see or hear someone proud with their religion and firm to their faith and then frown upon them or label them with negativity is just plain wrong. And actually preaching your disbelief upon others is just as irritating as theists trying to convert you to their beliefs. Learn to respect others beliefs, as some have learned to respect your disbelief in them.

tl;dr: Respect.

Sincerely,

Proud Non-advocating Pagan,
