For me the point is not that a particular blog is used to vent/whine. It's that some people continually whine and yet make no effort to better their situation or change their attitude to it. If there is a crisis they don't try to deal with it, they just complain. I really hate that attitude. By all means vent/whine in life - god knows, I do it myself. But don't keep whining about things when you could fairly easily deal with them. In general there seems to be such an attitude these days* that things should be perfect and if not then we are incapable of fixing them without the assistance/permission of other people. Just get off your ass and sort it fercryingoutloud.

*Why yes, I did feel old writing that. What makes you ask?
