First post...

I hate the following:

People who have to tell others it's their first post. ;)

I'm physically disabled. I use an electric wheelchair. If I see another person park in a handicap space and they're not disabled, I will run them over.

I hate people who think that if something is popular it is innately uncool.

I hate the whiney, wimpy 'heroes' of the last few Final Fantasy games. Grow a pair, Tidus, and Squall, pull your head out.

I hate uberpolitical vegan anti-mainstream college kids. Yeah, you're so non-conformist...just like everyone else in your drum circle.

I hate anime fans who think the genre starts and ends with Akira.

I hate people who get pissed at me, and state with emphasis "Don't judge people!" Pot, meet kettle. And yes, I know neither are very original thoughts.

I think I hate the myriad Tom Cruise-on-Oprah sketches/jokes more than Tom Cruise himself.

I hate being surrounded by redneck, white trash idiots who can't understand why they're not as successful in life as they want to be even though they don't work, spend all their money on cigarettes and beer, and spend more time watching Springer than doing anything with their litter of kids.

I hate blind patriotism. I also hate blind anti-americanism. America is not the 'best' (whatever the hell that means) country in the world. It's also not the worst.

I find Angelina Jolie to be incredibly overrated.

I hate people whose idea of arguing a point is finding quotes of famous people that agree with them. Yes, I'm well aware of what Thomas Paine said. Do YOU have anything to add to the discussion, or any ideas that are truly your own?

I hate political correctness. I find that we tend to take ourselves too seriously. Guess what? We're not precious, unique snowflakes. We're flawed sacks of meat and water who screw up more than we'd probably like to admit and matter a lot less in the grand scheme of things (if there is one) than we'd like to let our egos believe. Do I get bent out of shape if someone calls me a cripple? Hell no. I've got bigger things to spend my time on.

I'm of the 'love it or leave it' opinion... I also believe that 'love it' does not mean 'nod and agree with the current government'

Closed-minded people. You know the type, people who automatically assume that they will not like something without even giving it a chance. A relative of mine declared that she will not watch Star Wars, Star Trek, the Lord of the Rings, and anything based on comic books or video games, because as she puts it, "they're all just pathetic and stupid." I came very close to going off on her at that point, since I happen to like to like all of those types of movies. Having what you enjoy being called "pathetic and stupid" can really get to you. And like I said, she has not even watched any of them. I happen to think that it is irresponsible to automatically assume that you will not like something without at least actually taking the time watch or experience it. That is my rant for the day.:stressed:

There ya go. That's about how it works for me.

:( I'm hated with a passion :(

:gonk:

It's funny. Even though I agree completely, I can't help but find myself adding "z0rz" or "FTW" or "owned!" to nearly any sentence I say aloud.

I sometimes find myself saying woot, when there is not a woot nessesary or accaptable.
