The Stranger Love Lab and Annoying blond people

Checking out "The Stranger"'s pesonals in their print edition and then going online to look up these sorry folks can be a source of entertainment. I don't look for the truly bizarre, like the "I saw You" add from a guy who sat next to a person, never talking, on a bus from Missoula to Seattle nine years ago and now wants to meet. Um, that's fucking crazy. But rather I look at some of the responses as a sort of sociological sample. There's the idealistic younger women who tell too much about themselves, including unflattering things because, apparantly, they think it'll be more 'authentic' if they do so. No, it's not more authentic, you just make yourself a target for psychos who can manipulate your low self esteeem and comparative ignorance for their own advantage. Don't do that.

I wonder what an add I would put out there would look like: "Like's "Sex on the Flag" by KMFDM...." that's all I got now since I don't want to divulge any personal details.

Second, have people seen those fucking Nazi girls on the Huffington Post's frontpage? Their mama taught them to be racists from birth and now, in their early teens, they're singing racist songs in concert...which they have been since they were 9. And they're pictured wearing smiley faced T-Shirts which are modified to be pictures of Hitler. Jesus fucking Christ. People, in this case their mom, who think that being fair skinned and blond haired make them "superior" are fucking losers who don't have anything else going for them and instead want some sort of external thing which they can hang their egos on.

Not surprisingly, they're from California, which has graced us with the uber-Redneck, ubitquitous, "West Coast Chopper" paraphrenalia from Orange County, that nationally known center of culture in the U.S. Jesus fucking Christ, what's in the water down there, something which makes a personal oblivious to their own idiocy and willing to market it?

Down with the god damned white race.

so does hating the white race somehow make you above the racism of other members of it? after all, it's not 'your' race or 'your' shared ancestors.
honestly admitting that we all have deeply ingrained racist tendancies (as modern psychology has proved) is far more productive than thinking yourself above the squalor of red neck assholes, easily confined to a box of ignorance a well-bred liberal such as yourself could never be contaminated by.

also, Stranger lovelab is one of the most inspiring legitimate ways for people to connect through the internet than I have seen. by the simple gesture of having people separate 'lustlab' and 'lovelab,' it seems this lovelab actually gives people a chance of finding compatible people, and much quicker than old-fashioned dating, a necessary prior level of superficial screening being taken care of. and love-lab does this all with the characteristic humour of the Stranger, no less!
what makes these people so much more laughably desperate than yourself? is love easy or even possible for anyone in modern society? the massive displacement of communities wrought by global urbanization and the cost it has blown on romance can finally be countered by same technology that had born it, in the form of the internet.

that being said, sorry to piss all over your blog. I'm sure you are a lovely person. i just take issue with your opinions!
