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

My biggest (besides all kinds of abuse and inequality previously mentioned) are:

Wow! A round of applause for that. You win at the internet.

Using the bathroom stall right next to me when there's a buffer available!! COME ON MAN!!!!

Too funny, I was telling my co-worker this yesterday. Why wont people at least move to the stall over one, if open. But noooooo they want to sit right next to you.

My biggest peeve at the moment are so-called pro-lifers who want to stop abortions, but yet do not support proper sex ed, access to birth control, nor programs that would help impoverished families. It just tells me that it's not about "saving babies" to them. It's about controlling the sex lives and live in general, of women. They stop giving a damn once the umbilical cord is severed. These are the same people who think women who got raped deserved it because they DARE to enjoy non-procreative sex, and the same people who want women to be forced to carry fatally ill fetuses to term, only to watch them die or have them die during birth, and the same people who push adoption, while ignoring the fact that the adoption system is overwhelmed as is, and ignoring the fact that some women may be hurt far more by adoption than abortion. In other words, people who think women are too stupid to make their own choices regarding their fertility......

They use the term "pro-lifers", I prefer to use "deluded and dangerous psychopaths".

Most of the time I use the term "anti-choice". They're not giving the woman any choice in the matter, except to carry to term.

gun carrying folks who claim to love their fellow man.

I am saddened each and every time I am out and about with my children at just how rude, intolerant, impatient and sometimes just plain mean many people are towards my kids.

Many young people: don't know about birth control; think they're too young to get it; are afraid that their parents will find out if they try to get birth control; or are told by sex ed teachers that their chances of getting STD's or pregnant are the same with a condom as without, and therefore consider it useless.

I would also like to add: parents who think that allowing their children access to contraception and sex education is somehow going to turn them into serial sluts, who think that if they bury their head in the sand and talk to their children like sex is evil and doesn't exist then somehow they're just going to completely ignore all those irrepressible biological urges surging through them throughout their adolescence. They won't, they'll just do it anyway, because it's what they're programmed to do, and nothing you say or do is going to stop them, all it means is you're putting them at risk of catching something or getting pregnant.

Oh, and I have to add that people who dump their pets in the countryside so "they can fend for themselves" can all go to h*** right now.

You can juice my fat paycheck anytime.

aahhhh, screw what I said earlier.... How are you, Burt?

:blushing:

Well I was good until I saw this thread descend irrevocably into a weird political quagmire.

People who take a poo and don't flush until they are done. So anyone who walks in gets a whiff of their horrible stench. Its called a courtesy flush. You are to do it at least once depending on your length of time.. You'd be surprised how many folks don't realize that a courtesy flush will eliminate the stench to a huge degree..

You're so cute when you use big words. I bet you have a huge, throbbing brain......

My brother works as the "Target Cop" and was called outside because some guy was wailing on his wife in the parking lot. Bet her to a bloody pulp. He said he ran out to stop it and there were probably 30 customers standing around watching, not ONE of them tried to stop it.

That makes me lose faith in humanity.

that's disgusting and has happened to me before. Not a bloody pulp, but he was beating me and his friends just stood there and watched. Some people are repulsive.

I've been there also. Beat me until my head split open and my neighbors 10 feet away, and an another neighbor on the other side didn't even call for help despite my yelling for them to call 911. I had to walk 3 blocks to a family member's house since he smashed my phone. For an abused young girl, that added a whole other level of embarrassment to the situation.

I suppose that is why it disgusts me!

I don't know if I am capable in restoring your respect for humanity, but I can tell you for sure that everyone in my family would call, and I would definitely get involved. I CAN'T stay out of it when things like that happen. Sad thing is, I'm short and chunky, who is not very strong or fit. I'd probably get my butt whupped if I got involved, and I'd still run straight in and try to break it up. I'm so sorry for what you've gone through...

Turning your blinker on because you need in the opposite lane, and the *kitten* who is going 10 under the limit next to you decides they want to speed up so you can't get over. C*cksuckers.

80% of people :laugh:

women who think we are the same as men and should be treated as such, no I don't think they should be disrespectful to us but in my home my husband is the leader I love staying at home with my children and taking care of our home, I wouldn't have it any other way there are many things that I wouldn't want to have to do that women try to fight the men for

The fact that it's so commonplace for people to think of men as "leaders" and women as "followers" (or submissive domestic servants). UGH. Women fighting for total autonomy and political/social rights and responsibilities =/= women wanting to be "the same as men".
