Middle of the Road

I don't like encountering people who want to stay middle of the road for just about any topic. I hate that shit. I used to be like that and it just got to a point where it was IMPOSSIBLE to be middle of the road. Trying to make everyone happy is not a possibility, especially professionally, religiously or politically. Someone is going to get the short end of the stick and you need to know that and embrace it. Trying to be the nice guy in certain side oriented scenarios is just STUPID. Fuck that shit. Everyone has a stance whether they want to admit it or not, even the people who want to play middle of the road have a stance but don't want to fess up because they are afraid of what others might think of their stance.

That is why it pisses me off to meet people who are middle of the road on certain things. You can be ambivalent which is NOT the same as middle of the road. Being ambivalent about a topic is literally not giving a shit which is okay in my opinion. At least you are being honest in saying that you just don't care what happens to your country when you don't pay attention to current events cause you are a fucking retard. That is your right to have. If you don't want to consciously admit that shipping jobs off to India or China is bad for the US economy and stupid because India code is inferior code just because you met a few Indian programmers that were competent, then you are still a juvenile and are in denial of the truth.

If you can't just take a fucking stance, then what the hell do you stand for. Your opinions are meaningless and you will be left out of decision making.

Religion is a great example where a religious group demands that they are right about something. For example let's take the simple argument of the existence of god. Religious (Theists) people believe in the primitive concept of a god and Atheists do not. I haven't seen a smart Atheist go around preaching that god doesn't exist. I can't say the same for Theists. Now how can you be middle of the road on that? You can be Agnostic, but in my opinion I lump Agnostics in with Theists. So that aside, how do you get both sides to get along? Simple answer, YOU DON'T. Someone is wrong here and I decided that it is the Theists. My point is that you cannot be middle of the road about this, it is BLACK AND WHITE.

It amazes me that there are still adults who want to play nice with stupid ass arguments like this.

I am bitching about this because I was speaking to an ex-coworker of mine and at his office they have been outsourcing jobs. He asked me if I was happy with my decision of leaving, I said hell yes I was miserable there and they started to outsource the jobs I wouldn't be able to deal with that shitty India code. To which he has the gall to reply "I knew a lot of smart Indian guys." I'm sorry but does it take much critical thinking to realize that the fucking people I am speaking about are incompetent? This doesn't include all people from India, just the shitty operations who pull in any warm body with half a brain to do important programming work badly. So he was taking the middle of the road approach here because he is defending people he went to school with. Is this really a valid argument for saying that offshore code is good? Really? So just because he knew a few guys, all of the sins of these other ignoramuses is forgiven? I don't think so.

So he said we should talk later, it is obvious I upset him because I wouldn't letup on the point that outsourcing programming is a BAD fucking idea. It always is and always will be a bad idea because these fucking smug holier than cow attitudes that you get from India will always make those fucking rag head red dotted idiots think that what they are doing is "good" or worse yet, "excellent" code. These fucking idiots resent the fact that they make low wages and they take it out on their work by doing a quick and shitty job. They are fully aware of how bad their fucking code is. I've had my share of bad experiences with coders from India, fuck them.

Fucking ridiculous.
