The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

you cant even gauge how long you'll be at the post office either. I had one lady in front of me with 3 boxes going international. The PM let her fill out her custom forms while being helped. She complained about rates, and went through every single shipping method on the screen to save the most money. It took her 30 mins before she was done  >:D raging

**** me, it should be mandatory for sellers on ebay to leave you feedback as soon as you have paid... why the **** I have to go chasing people for feedback is beyond me... or why I should leave feedback before the sellers...

If you are an Ebay seller and you put an OBO on your items, that means you accept offers. Don't be an ******* and put OBO, then turn down every offer you get without even making a counter offer. This ****hole turns down 3 of my offers, so I offer him ONE PENNY LESS than what he's asking and he turns it down. Don't be like that guy kids.

if it loves me, then why these pauses, insane memory consumption and occasional 216% cpu usage?
