I think that 1) You could use some knowledge on the information your spewing...
 I also think you should get a grip, If you were dragged to one youd kill
yourself?  I mean give us something a little less overly emotion, under
intelligence.  Anywyas, ever heard of expressing ideas withOUT swearing. Its
the way things works.  Its not a nice way, but industry cant grind to a halt
everytme some hurts himself, no matter how could it is.

(take out some of the anger in the beginning, I noticed more coming through
then I meant and Im too lazy to fix it, so whatever...)
