They serve two points...

1. An opportunity to avoid a logical, problem-solving action plan to a dilemma in favor of venting in an emotional, irrational manner in the safety of an internet chat room.

2. To provide entertainment to those that get to watch other people respond to #1 with debate of a rationale nature, the opportunity push their freakishly unique world-view, or practice their rudimentary philosophy/debate 101 tactics by arguing specific details of said rant - regardless of the actual relevance to the underlying point.

I think if you use bigger bolder font it will make you feel even better.

Agree.  Most people come on here ranting about silly stuff looking for validation only to have a bunch of strangers see the situation differently.  Not quite sure why people subject themselves to such punishment.

Too many Rants threads when what we need are Runts threads. Does anybody really like the banana-flavored Runts? Seriously? Sure, the shape is great and all, but the artificial banana taste is for the birds. Oh no, this has turned into a rant. I'm sorry.

Runts are like weightlifting for your jaw.

I hate it when people open new threads to complain about what's in other threads!!

Seriously... if you don't like rant thread - then just don't read 'em! Problem solved!

As to why people post them - I think sometimes people just feel the need to get something off their chest. The relative anonymity of an internet form makes it seem like a "safe" place to rant.

Penn State, I was thiiis close to starting a new thread...a rant. It was going to be asking who on Earth would choose to use Latisse (the eyelash-growing drug). Seriously, do people even notice eyelashes? Do the people who use these drugs hide all of their old photos with (gasp) short eyelashes? Do they freak out when their children are born with short eyelashes?

It makes me think of Al Pacino's line at the end of The Devil's Advocate..."Vanity, definitely my favorite sin." cue Fade to Black by the Stones...

I love a good thoughtful rant, and there are some here who qualify for Rant-God/Goddess status. That being said, I HATE opening a rant thread and it's just a piddling whimper of a whine. If you're going to get your rant on, do it like you do triathlon: Go hard or don't go at all.

Uh, hello. That gave us this brilliant commercial (a couple inappropriate references if you're at work)

Ha it's a college football game. Nebraska lost to Va Tech on a BS play and I heard plenty about that. Nobody cried for me. Get over it.

Besides it wasn't really a shocker. I think a lot of people knew PSU was going to lose that one. Iowa always has the Lions' number.

It's funny what people choose to take offense to on BT.
