Anyone who wants to shout about their opinion without giving the reasons they have it, and refusing to listen to anyone with reason to disagree.

Also, I had to explain to someone that Wales was part of the UK (where I, and they, live) a couple of weeks ago, their response being "Really? I thought you had to get a plane there." I cried inside.

Teenagers who think a Honda CRX is fast just because some guy can SPEND his way to a 5 second 1/4 mile time... They think because a PROFESSIONAL is running two turbos, a HUGE bottle of NOS, and has over $100,000 worth of modifications, that THEIR car is automatically fast...

I once smoked an old man in a Mustang with my mom's Mitsubishi Eclipse (Custom rims and tires, dual exhaust from the cat-back, with a 3 liter V-6) but I know that doesn't mean ALL Eclipses are fast, besides, There is no replacement for displacement. My '92 Cadillac DeVille has a 4.9 Liter V-8... I can't wait to race my brother in HIS Eclipse, because he bought the Manual Transmission Version... His car will be a good race...

A 5 second 1/4 mile Honda CRX with a Honda engine? Dang, that's funny car time!

I used to make money running Corvettes because people that own Corvettes think they're automatically fast. Then I ran into a 427/435 and got owned, so I stopped, lest I meet another one.

Thank you everyone! I have gained faith in humanity from reading over this thread. I'm happy there are a lot of us who share these opinions. Humanity has the ability to become something more, to get past their petty differences, its just that there are a lot of people out there happy in their boxed minds.

Let's see: 1) Today's music [And all of hip-hop/glamour s***, etc. -Auron]
2) Reality shows
3) People that do drugs, you have nothing better to do?
4) People that don't read
5) Disney, what happened to all of the awesome cartoons, like Gargloyes?
6) Stupidity
More to come............

^Pretty much that.

OH, and shows like "Project Runway", "Shear Genius", etc. Do you have nothing better to do?
I especially die inside when people say things like "OMG! Did you hear the news? [Celebrity] and [celebrity] broke up!!!" That's not news. Occupy yourself with things that matter, and maybe we won't be screwed as a race.

Every time I hear people praising "An Inconvenient Truth" my braincells die.

Every time I hear fifteen year old girls squealing over that "Twilight" book my braincells die

And celebrity gossip just severs neurons.

Here is a conversation a friend of mine and me had (Granted my frind can say dumb things but this is the dumbest thing hes said.)

I am outside looking through my telescope at a star or something

"What you up to?"
"Stargazing"
"You can see Hollywood from here?"
I just gave him this look that said 'What did you just say'
"Oh you mean the shiny things up there."
I smacked my gob then went back to looking at the stars and shun him for being stupid.

The Infinitesimal Things

Speaking in AIM abbreviations in public

The elections

The Public School System

People who degrade gamers as murderers and nutjubs

thats about it

The US election this year saddens me...
I love/hate the irony that all across America, parents tell their children to play fair, who started it? Well, you DID do this to him before... when the [potential] leaders of the country can't do the same!

As well as the usual racism, politics, movies and music, I'm personally saddened by the number of glossy z-list celebrity gossip magazines "we" buy.

Don't make out like I bought that shiny shit-rag. I don't give a fuck what the Beckhams are doing or which of these females looks the most like a 12 year old boy! Jesus christ. What is it with these people?

Nice thread dude, it's good to get it off ya chest! :D

I hear them all the time. Small, little comments that make me say "Wow, are people getting dumber by the day or am I just going crazy?". These things don't have to be world-altering acts of war or anything, no, just small acts and comments that make me have a double-take and think "Are you kidding me?".

Most recently, these things have made me lose respect for people and my faith in humanity...

Example 1:

"In a few days, a movie's coming out that I'm excited to see..."

"What's that?"

"Death Race."

Example 2:

"You're a Buddhist, right? So why are you defending jewish people? Didn't Buddhism start in Guam or something?"

Example 3:

"Jumper was awesome, you have no right to talk about what movies are good! I mean, seriously! You like Pulp Fiction, There Will Be Blood, and Clerks! You like stupid movies."

(Pulp Fiction won a Cannes Award, There Will Be Blood had multiple Oscars, and Clerks is considered by both film critics and fans as a cult classic that left a huge impact on American cinema.)

What about you? What things make you hate your fellow man?

It's because instinctively, we clinch whenever we hear something we hate or believe the exact opposite off.
Think about how much more people love the next human as opposed to how much they hate him.
I get more caresses than blows, I get more compliments than diss, I have many friends and no enemies. But those are un-interesting facts because devoid of adversity.
Have you ever seen a movie with no antagonism or any form of threat? No, because a story with no adversity is not worth of mention. Humans just like challenge and striving.

I lost my respect for Humanity when I found out just how far some people will go to get what they want. Example, Mobius' ex wife, and a former co-worker of mine. One stole my Fiancee from me just because she wanted him. Then she lied, cheated, and made his life miserable. The other got PREGNANT just because she wanted the security guard that was working at Wal-Mart while the Remodel was going on. Plus I've seen other women, and a few men, go great lengths just to make others lives a living hell. I know I'm being cynical, I've been like this all day. Welcome to the world we live in. If you have a problem with it, suck it up like the rest of us are forced to do least we get homicidal.

Woah woah woah. Jallil is back. Weren't you in Egypt or something? Or on a business trip? Whatever it is, I'm sure Mobius is elated.

Oh man how do I say this without accidentally offending one of you.

I am actually touched by you two's... trials of passion, shall we say. It's moving how angry he gets whenever he talks about it. It shows just how much he cares for you. Guessing by the above post, I would say you feel the same way.

I know if I keep talking I'm digging myself deeper.

I'm sorry if I seem invasive. I don't think I've ever spoken to you before, so you probably have no idea who I am. Sorry.

No offence taken Meatloaf. Send me an Add, or I'll send you one. Either way. Glad to know someone realized I'd come back. ^_^ And I wasn't in Egypt. I was five miles from the minnesota border. About two and a half hours from Mobius. But I've been there for two weeks. Good news is, I was back for two days, will be gone for two more tops, and will be back in his arms again.

As for the post above...that was me being NICE to my so called "Best Friend" I had another but I didn't post it.

Today I was at school, and my group in Geometry class was talking.
"Yo, did you hear about that atom smasher thing? I heard it can like make black holes and stuff."
"That's sick."
"Yeah, if it does make black holes I hope it gets those British people first."
"British people are weird"
I decided to just keep quiet and laugh about it later, but seriously, I think all hope is lost for the people at my school.

Apple fanboys.

In my profession, I hear way too often about how Apple computers are better than sex.

And in case you doubt it, I can assure you the latter is better. :P
