FTW Learn to Swim

[SKOM]

So - as of 2 am this morning I have officially given up on humanity. If you don't want to read me vent stop now.

This last week has been shit. On monday my chain broke on the highway about 1/2 an hour from anywhere. Luckily I happened to have a spare master link and my RK tools in my backpack. I found the chain and put it back on. Took around 3 hours total.

Not 1 single person stopped to ask "Need a hand?" or "You okay?"
This was on the side of a really busy highway. At least 20 different bikers rode by me without even slowing down. make the beast with two backs you small town Alberta assholes. It's like every man for himself. No one gives a shit about their fellow man.

This point was REALLY driven home last night. I'm walking home and get jumped by 4 dudes. I'm by myself. This was also on a busy road. I managed to steer the scuffle into the middle of a 4 lane road. At least 10 cars passed by as I was getting the shit beat out of me. Not a single person called 911. Nada.

Ok I understand if you fear for your safety but at least call the cops for make the beast with two backss sake. Thanks again Alberta - make the beast with two backs you. I managed to put up enough of of a fight to :

a - survive
b- keep my cell phone

While me and two of the jerkoffs were wresting on the ground  -  jerkoff # 3 decided to turn my leg into a trampoline. I am in all kinds of pain. I can still ride at least - barely. I can't use the rear brake at all but my left leg is - for the most part - good to go 


So to summarize.

I HATE APATHY. Oh just turn your head asshole. If it doesn't directly affect you then it's okay to turn a blind eye to someone else's misfortune. I used to be an optimist. I used to think there was hope for us.

Today I learned I was wrong. FTW learn to swim...

make the beast with two backs, glad to hear you are okay.

It sucks, but you just gotta kind of learn to do it on your own.
You've only got yourself.

[Rev. Millertime]

Glad to hear you're ok.

Society has gone to shit.

[Duc Stamp]

Too bad you can't carry in Canada.

[Pedro-bot]

Was someone saying something??   



Getting jumped sucks. Been there before, be glad you're able to tell about it. Had a friend that was jumped, mugged, and shot 3 times............... for the 3 whole dollars he had on him.

[LMT]

That sucks.  There are some good people out there, they just do not live anywhere near you.

Hope your leg heals up soon.

I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice people?  

Didnt you see Michael Moore just walk into people's houses in the begining for "Bowling for Columbine"

It kind of sucks that none of the bikers stopped to help you out.  I have stopped to help someone out before and he told me to get lost!  To be honest it made me a little jadded and I flipped him off as I got on my bike and rode off.  It makes me think twice before stoping to help someone now.  

As for the jumping part, that just sucks!  Nothing more manly or tough guy than getting 3 of your buddies and beating up 1 dude.  make the beast with two backsing lame!

[Betty Rage]

Sorry that happened to you, the same thing has happened to me multiple times. It's really made me lose faith in humanity.

[Buckethead]

Jesus H, mang!

Glad you're mostly okay.

If you ever make it out this way I'll gladly buy you a round or three. 

What are the laws regarding collapsible batons in CA?

Time to move, people suck everywhere but they seem to suck quite a bit more where you're at it would seem.
Get better man and take some solace in that there's at least a few halfway decent folks still fighting the good fight.

[Ash]

shit, dude.  that would make anyone a permanent cynic.  i'm glad you survived.  don't know what else to say as it's already happened.  there is some good left in the world- just maybe not in alberta   

[TiNi]

don't give up, there are good people out there, and get well soon!

[Scottish]

Uber- suckage friend. Glad you made it through, and I'm glad you fought the make the beast with two backsers! I wouldn't give a dollar without a fight, it's the concept, make them work for it. Kudos and glad you made it through. I'd welcome to my place anytime.  Man kind isn't entirely make the beast with two backsed yet, we just gotta make sure us good apples watch out for each other. Good future, karma owes you a couple.

[NuTTs]

Shizer, as mentioned previously I thought Canadians were nice people also.. I'm just glad you weren't injured worse than you were. I can't believe no one stopped to help or at least call the police.

Some good karma to you from me buddy.. hang in there.

[Xiphias]

Sorry to hear about this...there are a lot miserable people out there. Hope you heal up.
