Rant rant
What's with all the Rants? You guys sound like a bunch of old women, griping all the time! - Just kidding.  It is funny that there is a new rant every day...

Exactly which "rant" are we talking about, exactly?
Rant used as a noun...
Or
Rant used as a verb?
Used as a noun:
"He composed a vehement rant about the senator's views on gun control."
Used as a verb:
"I will rant to the management that more habenaro peppers must be used in this salsa in order for it to kill the flies instantly when they land on it."

It's aka VENTING. Very therapeutic. Men have feelings too, ya know
Here get this melody stuck in your mind for a while
Feelings, nothing more than feelings,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Teardrops rolling down on my face,
Trying to forget my feelings of love.
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl;
You'll Never Come Again.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feel you again in my arms.
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like i've never have you
Again in my heart.
Feelings, for all my life I'll feel it.
I wish I've never met you, girl;
You'll never come again.
Feelings, feelings like I've never lost you
And feelings like i've never have you
Again in my life.
Feelings, wo-o-o feelings,
Wo-o-o, feelings again in my arms.
Feelings...

Rants can be a positive thing, a release.
Besides, some of them are damned funny!

Ranting
I'd love to rant but I would forget what I started ranting about before I finished my ranting, OLD AGE C.R.S. I do like it here!

Some people just have rants in their pants. Just let 'em rant--it keeps them from acting out in public.

You call that a rant? Don't get me started. Four lines? That's not much of a rant. A good rant will go on, and on, and on, and on, and on. At a minimum, you should have to scroll down a bit in order to read it all. A truly good rant will go on so long you have to stop and think about just how far you are willing to go in order to absorb it all. Do you get the gist after a few lines, or do you want to read in fine detail, to grasp all the subtle points the ranter is ranting about? And that'd not just a rhetorical question, you have to actually try to answer it before you can commit to going on.
Then there's the invective. A good (^&*!@ rant will show some heat. At least part of the M*%^(&!) will be in ALL CAPS, ans will at least skirt the rule against creative spelling. It will necessarilt contain at least a few typos, a natural byproduct of the passion and impatience which generated it.
Wht's more, a truly great rant does not have to self-identify as a rant. It will radiate rantishness. There will be no doubt in the readers mind that it is a rant. Some of these "rant"-labled posts are more like a letter to the editor than a true rant. You don't have to tell anybody you are going to rant; JUSR RANT ON!!!
In the best of worlds, you will leave your reader the impression that you are a bit unbalanced, like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any second. People will have to learn to keep their *** **** distance.
If you want to apoligize for your rant afterwards, well, that's a different matter.
P.S. oops, I see handejector got here first. Nevermind...

If I could post profanity here, you'd see a rant.
These are more "complaints", you just can't have a good rant without a few F bombs!

Think it's time for another Wal-Mart greeter thread!
This place reminds me of a bunch of guys hanging around the pickle barrel at Druckers Store
