Things that make you lose respect for the human race....

I hate the term "homophobia" we don't call a racist "blackophobic" do we? Hate of another person is not a phobia, it's hate. No need to give douchebaggery a nice name.Homophobia.
I know this sounds annoying and pedantic, but the term is used to connote FEAR of homosexuality. Phobia is fear, so in a sense, when one is homophobic, they are fearful of any and all homosexuals. This doesn't necessarily mean they hate them, they just fear them. I tend to believe that people who are homophobic are that way because they somehow feel their own sexuality is at risk of being questioned or attacked. Or perhaps they are afraid the homosexual man or woman will hit on them.
One who does not approve or accept a homosexual lifestyle is not necessarily homophobic. And one who fears homosexuals is not necessarily hateful of them.
I am fearful of birds flying in my face, but I don't hate birds.
If that makes sense.
The fear has also has roots in interpretation of being homosexual. I was taught that being a male homosexual meant that you abused little boys. This was also taught in public school to beware of homosexual men that will offer you candy, offer car rides etc. Interpretation has change, but phobias are often rooted due to interpretations of the time period, sorry to say. Just another sad note regarding loss of respect for the human race is misinterpretation and the prejudices that follow....0 -
People who write "loose" instead of lose and people who say "aks" instead of ask. And who on earth started off the whole "I can't be asked" phrase, wtf??0

1. people who are bullies. I tend to stand up for the underdog
2. people who don't respect our veterans who have risked their lives for our freedom
3. people who think they know everything and can't learn from you
4. people who take the easy way out to lose weight because they are to lazy to make the effort to do so.
5. people who think they know what works for everyone without proper research to back up their claims
6. people who are politicially correct and compromise their intregrity as not to offend for fear of backlash0 -
I feel annoyed when people show lack of respect for teenagers.. I mean, hey, we have all been there, remember those times when we wanted everybody to treat us as adults. People please, show some respect for the youth.0

Not so much lose respect just damn annoying.....
The people who get in the middle of the intersection knowing the light is turning red and then block the whole lane so 1 or maybe 2 people can get through the entire green light and then they look up like a "B" when you look pissed.
That and the people who trash talk no matter how a person is....such as "you never do anything active" when you are fat and then when you are thin they are the same people that say "you are obsessed with this and need to stop losing weight". One or the other people.0 -
Dumbass motorist cowards who shout out the window at pedestrians and speed away. Had that happen yesterday while my fiance and I were on our way to Target. Some *kitten*, who was an adult, screamed "freaks!" out the window at us and sped off.
If you're going to be a jerk and shout at us, at least have the balls to say it to our face outside of your vehicle.0 -
1. Having left-wing values shoved down my throat in every single class in college even though I'm not allowed to shove my beliefs down anybody else's throat, not that I would.
2. The obvious gay agenda that has allowed almost every one of my classes to force me to write something, read something or participate in a discussion group about it, as if they are the most important people in the whole wide world. We get it, okay? How would you like to have to read about, write about and discuss the Bible in every college class? Yeah thought so.0 -
-People that take laziness to an extreme new level and still have the cheek to complain.
-People that are offended by anything/ everything that doesn't concern them and make sure they are heard.
-People that have double standards.
-Feminism ( I will get hate for that one, but I really don't give a damn)
-Abuse to anyone vulnerable, old, young or any animal. If you choose to be an *kitten*, the very least you can do is pick on someone your own size.
-People that sleep around/treat the other sex like crap and wonder why no one will go out with them. Both sexes.
-Young girls with no self respect, you will regret it someday.
-Disrespectful people. There is no need for it, manners are free.
- In agreement with one above, people who think it is 'cool' to hate the police/authority. Tell me that when you are screaming for help someday.
-Cliches. In all walks of life. Don't live up to a cliche, be yourself.
There are many, many more but I can't think right now... A lot of things annoy me, and I probably annoy a lot of people too. Thus, life.0 -

I agree. And if you disagree with these 'values', you're a bigot.
If one view is tolerated, so should another. People can think what they like.0 -
people that take religion to a whole new level. I am what I am, you're what you are. lets leave it at that.0

yyyyeahh.... but one side supports equal civil rights... and the other side... well... doesn't. So.... there kind of IS a right and wrong...0 -

QFT. Honestly, if you're on the side of taking away basic rights from a group of people, then you are seriously on the WRONG side........I don't see how one can't realize the arrogance of wanting others to be denied basic human rights.0 -

Thanks for proving the point. Although you don't know either of us/our belief system/politics, you still ASSUME that just because we don't agree with everything that may ever come out of your mouth, we must be hateful, anti civil rights bigots. Get a life and stop being drama queens, welcome to the real world where people have diverse opinions.0 -

Unfortunately there is no stability regarding the prescription of civil rights. Governments prescribe civil rights. Left wing vs. right wing. Generally, what the politicians consider harmful or non-harmful decide the course of civil rights. At one point gay people were considered harmful, then the collective opinion changes and it will change again. The point that makes this a loss of respect is that governments are driven to be partison, not what's right but what favours the party's agenda. We being citizens end up being the victims of partison politics. edited for spelling again and again lol0 -

which response was more respectful? mine, or the one where you tell me to stop being a drama queen and get a life?
heh. irony.0 -
people who blame the victim--be it a poor person, a rape victim, a battered woman. Stop judging. There, but before the grace of the Gods go you...Try a little compassion. See how it feels.0

That was a collective get a life to anyone that actually will be that dramatic over something so trivial. Stop looking for things to be offended by, not being left wing /= being a hateful bigot.0 -
That abortion debate made me die a little inside as someone whose birth mother was in an abortion clinic when a nurse there told her she had a friend who couldn't have kids and was looking to adopt. She decided to have the baby (me) and give me up at birth. Maybe I was an inconvenience and should have been aborted instead of causing my birth mother to suffer lifelong trauma? :indifferent: I dunno, I'm very mixed on the issue so I don't ever debate it. I just present my story when the debate comes up as a bystander.
Aaaaaaaaaanyway, I hate txt spk. It makes my blood boil and my blood pressure rise. I have deleted people on both here and facebook because I can't stand it. Type out your words. It takes me longer to read your stupid writing. Stop ruining a perfectly fine language.
Kids who have a ridiculous sense of entitlement. You're a kid!
Why are people taking what I say out of context? I'm FOR adoption IF the woman CHOOSES to do so! Your birth mother changed her mind and chose adoption. That means she was probably not going to abort in the first place and just needed that little push. That's okay and I support her choice. HOWEVER, I'm AGAINST women being EXPECTED to go the adoption route. I'm AGAINST women being FORCED to be broodmares for the state. I told of one women who was negatively affected by the adoption process. I'm sure there are others who were as well. I don't deny that there are also women who are hurt by abortion AND even motherhood. That is why I'm pro-CHOICE. I want women to decide which choice is appropriate FOR THEM.
Is that a little bit clearer? I wasn't bashing adoption. Just stating that it's not the cure-all solution. That is all.0 -

did you just call civil rights trivial?0 -
No, no, I really don't. Society coddles the stupid, incompetent and the weak. We have things as absurd as "no fail tests". If you can't fail it, then it's not a test. Winning is frowned upon. I mentioned warning labels already. Personal responsibility is a thing of the past, as is respect for your fellow human. It's all about me, me, me. We build new football stadiums while cutting back on classes in college. We spend billions upon billions invading, destroying and then attempting to rebuild another country while our own infrastructure crumbles around us.

you don't like many things do you?
I wish I could live in happy ignorance of the things around me, as most people seem to. I'm sure I would be a happier person. Instead, I'm astounded by the shortsightedness, greed and general stupidity exhibited by most humans on this planet.0 -
Willful ignorance and apathy towards others. I think that pretty much encompasses everything, although the things that truly piss me off are road related. PAY ATTENTION!!!!!!!!! If you can't do that, you shouldn't have a goddamn license.0

One thing:
These days everyone is so quick to blame their problems and bad habits on someone or something or both, even pretending it's a disease, instead of accepting responsibility for themselves and their actions.0 -
I second that!0

I am not entirely convinced you have a handle on why you are being called a bigot.0 -
Religion...Can't believe the stupid things you can get people to believe!
Hey, there's money in running a church. My fiance jokingly said we should make up a religion and bring forth a church. lol0
