We won Vietnam

I think, if you've gotten though this far on my list of stories, you must realize that I am a loser. It doesn't take a genius to realize this. I'm an unsettling combination of a nerd and a loner. ^Wanna call me?^

Ipso facto, I spend a lot of time chatting on the Internet. Is it stupid? Yes, I know it's stupid. It's all stupid. Maybe 1% of the chatting you do is constructive. But isn't that reason to chat then? To find that one percent? No. Well, maybe, I have seriously gotten to know some special people online.

But still. It is stupid, for the most part. And I still keep doing it. I keep going into these inane chat rooms. Basically, there's three that I go into. I used AOL, of course, (Is there any other reason people use AOL?) but it's annoying that people then are given free ability to spam me. Then there's MS chat, which is cool, initially, with the cartoon characters and all, but it seems to be the dullest of the three. The other one that I resorted to the most, was Yahoo Chat. Yahoo chat is nice, it's like AOL except you don't get the scams, chains and porn mail.

The problem is, that Yahoo chat is then populated by the trash who can't afford the twenty dollars a month to pay for AOL, and who are probably the ones who on AOL are always asking for your password. You go into the Jewish chat room, and every single bloody time, you get some moron who goes in there scrolling "I am Hitler." Actually, it's generally more than one. Thinking they're original, and have an easy target, there are often more anti-Semites/annoying-bastards-who-just-want-to-get-a-miserable-kick-by-knowing-how-much-they're-irritating you.

Most of their anti-Semitic jokes I had heard before. I've heard these for a long time. They always seem to think that we haven't heard the cherry pie (or whatever other baked item that doesn't scream when put into an oven.) joke. Nevertheless, somebody always gets infuriated from that joke. I wish they could be honest about what their problem was, rather than repeat, and recuss. If it was intelligent, I wonder if I could convince them out of it.

This shows how much of a loser I am. Let's go over the statistics. First, I spend hours online. It's cheap at night, and so I would spend the wee hours, often till...five AM, being an idiot on-line. Then, more to the point, I'd spend some of this time in this chat room. I knew that there was nothing that I could do against these...yahoos...but I still spent time in here.

Actually, the closest thing I could find to a date, while in Israel, I met on the Yahoo chat. But it wasn't really a date, we met once, she was sixteen, and I met her friends. Look, I have like no friends. That's why I sent out all these entries to people, a pretense to make myself think I had friends.

But I digress.

The thing that bugged me more than all the anti-Semitic tripe was a Jewish kid who tried to combat them. He starts scrolling. He keeps typing these quotes in, until they go all the way down the screen. "The Jews are the greatest!" Whatever. "Israel is amazing!" Whatever. "Israel has never lost a war!!!"
