Do you remember the many groups of bookworms, jocks, ‘hip & trendy’ girls, your typical rebellious misfits who are forever having trouble with the authorities and the uptight and pompous-looking prefects back in high school? and then there’s that Kelantanese posse with their gibberish, presumably East Coast-originated jokes which most of us can never seem to understand. sure, some of them were a nice bunch of ppl, some were strangely bizarre and others were just downright annoying. nonetheless, whether you realize it or not, most of us actually belong to a certain ‘category’ or clique in society.
some of us are part of a particular group label like “the intellectually advanced nerds”, “the messed up delinquents” or the “sissy-looking softies”. it can’t be helped. perhaps it’s just natural for us to associate ourselves closer and more towards ppl with similar interests or characteristics. by being in a group, we feel that we’re able to identify ourselves, to define what kind of person we are and where is our position in society. it creates a sense of security, that comfort you get when talking or hanging out with those of your own ‘wavelength’. anyway, here’s a list of the more “memorable and interesting” cliques/gangs//factions/clans/call ‘em whatever you want that I’ve met in my 21 years of life:
1) The Forever Bitching Feminists
most of you would know by now how much I hate feminists. they’re like a bunch of primitive and dangerous Amazons. simply said, they’re my natural born enemies. they come in many forms too, some of them don’t wear bras and shave their armpits to make a point (how stupid is that?), some are always yapping abt inequality this & inequality that, all the while forgetting the many ‘special privileges’ that the female community gets from men and some just love to give men that disdainful look for the most stupid reasons, as if you’ve just farted out loud in a masjid or a church, when they don’t realize that some of them have faces that would even make pigs nauseated. read more abt this evil feminazis from hell in my previous post, When women roar.
2) Geeks, Computer/Video Game Freaks
if there’s a group you’d like to label me in, then this is probably it. most ppl would say that geeks are boring and that they don’t have a life. while that may be true in some cases, most geeks are actually smart and interesting ppl. they may not be as overly-intelligent like nerds, but they have their own favorite field of subjects which makes them quite knowledgeable. trust me, you’d be surprised at how much a computer/ video game freak knows just from the many hours of playing RPGs like Final Fantasy or Diablo. one thing I notice is that geeks are really friendly ppl (I’m a special case here). they’re so gentle, they’re always treating other ppl nicely and trying to avoid offending or hurting someone else’s feelings. basically if they’re in a relationship, they’re your typical doormats. sometimes I do pity these ppl because they’re often regarded as lame and usually taken advantage of by others around them. still, they’re one of the most trustworthy and dependable group of ppl out there, so be glad if you know a bunch of geeks. they may be your only true friends in the end.
3) The “Good” Guys
they’re your typical group of ppl who are always nice and friendly 24/7, devoting themselves rigorously to religion while being a bit ‘cool’ with others around them. these guys are usually soft-spoken and most of the times you’ll find it hard to a decline their request for help or if they invite you to join for prayers at the masjid/some religious activity. the girls in this group are shy and sometimes timid-looking (probably the best wife-material there is), but there have been instances where some of them lash out at ppl verbally (it’s not offensive like your standard “fuck you!!” or anything, but it sure ticks you off). also, you usually find it uncomfortable hanging out with these ppl because cursing/swearing is somewhat inappropriate around them and that most of the times you’ll be talking abt your studies/work/religion before you end up being speechless, not knowing what to do/talk next. too often, I notice that these ppl are usually mistaken with another group, the supposedly morally superior “Holier-than-thou” hypocrites (see below). make no mistake abt it, these guys are genuinely good and honest ppl and they deserve to be respected.
4) The “Typical Girls” Faction
they’re your typical girls who love shopping, buying expensive clothes, always cautious abt their diet, collecting teddy bears/beanie babies etc.etc. personally, I have some mixed reactions abt this clique. I’m not sure what’s so great abt collecting soft toys, it’s not like they have cool weapons like your average GI Joe action figure, or that they can transform into a shit-shooting hippopotamus like Transformers, they just sit there on your bed looking dumb. sometimes I feel so pissed, I feel like bashing those stupid cuddly things with a golf club like a candy-containing piñata. the girls themselves may be nice and amicably approachable, but most of the times an average guy would try to steer clear from having conversations with them. it’s always the same things over and over again: fashion, celebs/artists, boyfriends, love & romance, diet tips, music....how boring. it’s not like you get to talk abt politics, economics and other gazillion more interesting stuff w/ them. the girls also try to ‘act’ cutely around ppl. once in a while it’s still tolerable, but then there are times when you feel insanely irritated with their constant whining, whimpering and supposedly cute behavior. they’re always craving for attention, esp from their boyfriends (not that it’s a bad idea to demand for some affection from a loved one but there ought to be limits, esp when your continual complaining can drive another person crazy). gosh, sometimes I feel like grabbing a rusted harpoon and then jabbing the spleens of these annoying attention-seeking whores. and don’t even let me get started with those who type in an iNsaNely mAnNer JuSt 2 MaKe thEmsElvEs LoOk CuTe. it’s not adorable you shit-head. it feels like a raven just flew by and crapped into my eyes or somebody just poured a vat of sulphuric acid into my iris. ppl want to read what you wrote/typed dumbass!! God, I wish someone would get a sniper rifle and blow the heads off these inherently stupid ppl or at least punch their ovaries repeatedly until they bleed to death.
5) “The Cool People”
there are several main characteristics that would help you identify this group: a) for some reason, they’re always trying to speak in English with you, b) most of them are ppl from the upper class of society (you can see it from the way they dress) and c) they’re the kind of ppl who enjoy “the night life” (clubbing, drinking, dancing). these ppl are educated, and most of them are considered ‘open-minded’ since they lead a lifestyle that mirrors that of Westerners. what I can’t understand is that how can these ppl be very critical of religious/moral issues and yet lead a life which is questionable by any average religions’ standards? some are so smart that they would question/criticize the implementation of Islamic laws and such, and with valid arguments too, but at the same time they go out at night, drink booze and play ass-grab with slutty women of their own kind at discos or clubs. now how hypocritical is that? I had the unfortunate experience of going to a party a few weeks ago. my housemate and I went there along with several friends from this group. I thought I wanted a first-hand observation and find out what’s so great abt this kind of event that ppl from this group enjoy so much. like your average night club, the place was dark, crowded, the music was so loud you can barely speak and listen to each other and alcoholic beverages were aplenty. so basically there’s music, ppl coming to hang out, drink, chat or dance. except for the music and the dancing part, I thought you can always do most of the stuff at some mamak restaurant, which is even better since you get to enjoy roti canai or watch WWE on the tv provided. so why night clubs again? dancing? I thought that the sight of a goat having a seizure after being sodomized by a fork was less visually offensive than the stupid-looking movements they call dancing. speaking of dancing, after spending abt 45 minutes standing, doing absolutely nothing but watch ppl “getting down/strutting it out” to the garbage they call music, my buddy and I left and I came to the realization how much I really envy cripples and paraplegics.
6) Debaters
ahhh….the group that I *used* to be associated with. now looking back, I’m kind of ashamed that I was a part of them. I may have my own circle of considerably-close friends from my debating days, but that still doesn’t mean that I like debaters in general. some ppl just hate this bunch so much and after giving some thought, their reasons were good and valid too. a former senior of mine (also an ex-debater) who was coaching us a few years back once told me, “debaters in general are arrogant and cocky ppl. they think that just because they can speak better and think critically, they’re superior than the rest”. yep, it’s a proven fact. while the degree of arrogance might differ in each & every debater (some just keep the thought to themselves while others shamelessly express it for public viewing), that feeling of being distinguished, being able to speak English fluently and express their thoughts in a convincing manner makes them feel ‘special’ and above others. I’ve never considered myself a “pure” debater. while the average debater socializes amongst themselves between debates, talking abt stuff that most ppl don’t really care, I spend most of my time: a) eating, b) sleeping (usually in major competitions like the PPM), c) talking to the very few ppl I know or d) playing Pokémon/Street Fighter on my Game Boy Color. it’s not that I’m against debating or anything, I just hate the attitude and the kind of persona that debaters exhibit. some feel that they’re so good at speaking English, I couldn’t help but laugh that they can’t even spell ‘definitely’ properly. half of these morons don’t even know what ‘lecherous’ means. it’s even more pitiful when you know that some of them are just too obsessed abt debates that they can’t handle a loss or they think that by debating, they can “change the world”. reality check: 1) debating is the art of arguing which helps you improve your verbal and thinking skills. nothing more, nothing less. 2) the world is controlled by politicians. it doesn’t matter how good a debater you are, unless you manage to brownnose your way to gain a high political position, you can’t do squat. you might argue that by being involved in debates you can be a more influential and powerful politician in the future but George W. Bush is a living proof that this logic is flawed. he’s a moron, he can’t give speeches and yet he’s probably the most powerful man on the planet. at the end of the day, no one really cares abt debaters or the things they debate. sad isn’t it?
7) The “Holier-than-thou” Hypocrites
this has got to be the most hated group on the face of the planet. they try to be similar to those of The “Good” Guys clan, but their attitude and how they try to shove their high moral agenda down other ppl’s throats is really annoying and irritating. needless to say, they’re the worst enemies of “The Cool People”. these ppl may have good & pure intentions, but sometimes their methods of convincing ppl to turn away from vices and immoral behaviors are arguable. some just have high moral standards, and that’s fine by me but the thing which pisses me off is when these supposedly morally-superior ppl are hypocrites in the back. they’ve become no different than the so-called immoral ppl they love to bash. for instance, if I were to advice a friend to stop drinking booze, I sure as hell won’t drink in the first place (in case some of you idiots are wondering, no I don’t drink. I haven’t even smoked a single cigarette in my whole life). but these hypocrites tell others one thing, and yet they also do it when ppl aren’t looking. oh well, in the end most of us are prolly like them, a bunch of lying hypocrites. truth to be told, you may hate to hear what they say, but personally we should all just suck it up, listen and follow their “advice” and try to ignore the fact that they’re hypocrites for our own good.
I actually have s’more cliques/groups to mention but I’m kinda lazy to think and type at the moment. so which group/clique are you in?
