Enraged.
My father and sister have this stupid fucking romanticized idea that hunting is the whole reason why we're a successful species. That's total bullshit. We're successful because we have complex brains and the ability to learn, not because of some "instinct" we share with most of the animal kingdom. Eating meat has nothing to do with any of it.
But, apparently, the fact that I'm pointing this out means that I'm a tree hugging vegetarian. And the fact that I happen to go to community college also means that any information I might obtain is totally false since "OMG UR NOT GOING TO LOL BUFFALO STATE COLLEGE HEE HEE." And, further, because I'm 18 years old I apparently can't know shit.
Disregard the fact that neither of them has ever taken an anthropology class, and anything they know about evolution and biology is from the fucking history channel. I can't be right. No. Not me.
And, god, my sister said this absolute gem: "We didn't start getting intelligence until we started cooking meat." Bear in mind, she's currently getting an MA in education.
Once more: "We didn't start getting intelligence until we started cooking meat."
And this was after the "No, WE ARE HUMAN NOT ANIMALS!" Funny, though. Even wikipedia classifies us as bipedal primates.
But oh, I'm wrong because I'm four years younger and go to the same community college she did.
I'm so sick of never being able to have an opinion. She does it with everything. I'm a CIS major, I love computers, and I'm especially interested in operating systems. But I'm wrong because "WINDOWS XP IS THA BEST OPERATIN SYSTEM EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Of course, the bitch doesn't even know what a kernel is, but because I'm only 18, I'm WRONG.
The only thing I can think to do to calm myself down is to change the router password and block the both of them from the internet and make them fucking apologize.
