Religion,horror flicks I hate them with a passion,how I should be raising my daughters by indidvidauls who do not have children or anyone for that matter its rude and well I wouldn't do that to someone else even If I disagreed with their parenting style.0

This is kinda stupid but you asked lol.... When I was working back in Virginia Beach I would hear people complain at least twice a day about how horrible VA drivers were.... I was actually born and raised there and since it is a HUGE military town that was somewhat rare. I would always respond with "Oh so let me guess, military brought you here?" "yes" "Well see hunny, it's not the fact that us "Virginian's" are bad drivers it's the fact that we have people here from the other 49 states + all the spouse's from over seas that our navy boys bring home. You take a New Yorker who's fast paced and put them behind the Sunday driver from Kentucky and watch him try to go around but cut off the county boy from Texas who is used to being the only car on the road and he freaks out and swerves and pisses off the guy from Chicago who is now flipping everyone off.... yes we're gonna have some "****ty" drivers" LOL idk why it would bother me so much but it just would.... lol... rant over, please don't take offense if your state was mentioned.....
I wanna know where that country boy from Texas could have been the only car on the road. I wanna move there! LOL!0 -
I guess I have a few that make me upset:
Domestic Violence (when the person has no idea what they are talking about and are judgmental of the victim)
Politics ... when on facebook.. not exactly a tirade but when people just post things that they have not research and repost urban legends not even seeing if the facts are real, or post comments that are based on lies given by politicians without checking to see if their facts check out.... I think people need to take an active role.. so many people talk about things they don't even understand and can't explain (thou sometimes comical watching them try..lol)
My first ex husband.....lol
Fibromyalgia: which I have and so many people do not understand and judge people with it because they put on a brave face and don't look sick when living with it is hell (my family included in this)
I think that is enough... "You don't want to get me started!"....LOL0 -
The lack of understanding this country has with mental disorders.
"Oh your daughter decided to shoot herself? It's your fault because you kept a gun in the house."
"Oh your son went and shot up a school? Must be because you kept guns in the house."
It just saddens me that people would rather blame this incredible terrible events on society, guns, and anything beside what it usually is - which is an unrecognized mental condition. I have friends who are paranoid schizophrenics and perfectly well functioning, but also some of the most well known serial killers in history suffered form paranoid schizophrenia. Most mental disorders can be controlled with medication, but the fact that we still see them as taboo keeps people from seeking the help they need.0 -
Hunter's pet growl turn on during raids, raiding with pack on and seeing hunters with strength instead of agility....

BTW, nice to see a fellow Warcrackhead in the forum.

I totally forgot this one:
Adults with poor grammar. You went to school for AT LEAST 12 required years. In that time, SOME BASIC grammar rules should have been taught and learned.
If we need subtitles to understand English speaking people who were born and raised in America, THAT is a problem.0 -
Breastfeeding in another "don't get me started" topic!
I forgot about this one... Particularly when a breastfeeding mother is feeding her infant in a store like Hollister's or A&F and get kicked out for "indecent exposure"... Yet the posters are more sexual and demeaning than breastfeeding will ever be... Then you get the puritans who think their children will be scarred for life if they see a woman using her boobs for what God intented... Feeding her offspring.0 -

Hearing someone I'd describe as working class (at best) try and defend the behaviour of the wealthy when it comes to income tax, benefits, etc. Drives me up the wall. I hate seeing the poor being exploited, and I doubly hate knowing that it's those I love and care for who do the exploiting without a second thought. Seriously, when a guy who works 60 hours doing hard labour for very little financial reward carps on about theft by taxation despite not paying much in the way of tax I want to punch him. Then I want to punch the arseholes who are drip feeding him this class warfare garbage.0

people who complain about healthcare....it's not a right. there are only three guarantees in life, taxes, death and you will have to interact with someone who doesnt share the same values as you
people who complain about politics but follow their parties lines to the T, as if your party knows exactly what is right for this country as a whole
bad drivers - this equates to jerks whom if i let out from a side street or parking lot and cant take the time to get off their cell phone to acknowledge someone did something nice for them
smokers
people who think the rich should have to pay more in taxes because they are rich. heres a the answer. you make $10,000 and are taxed at 25%, that means you paid $2500 in taxes. someone who makes $100,000 a year and is taxed at 30% means they paid $33,333.33 in taxes. $33,333.33 > $10,000. THEY ALREADY DO PAY MORE0 -

The "organic" and the "go green" fanatics....this explains that well....
"Being Green...
Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.
The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days."
The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment f
or future generations."
She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.
Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were truly recycled.
But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.
But too bad we didn't do the green thing back then.
We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.
But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.
Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.
But that young lady is right; we didn't have the green thing back in our day.
Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.
But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.
We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.
But we didn't have the green thing back then.
Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.
But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?"
