OMG this one is so easy, people who make fun of themselves to be funny, like, "Im stupid as hell."

VGJustice · Sep 18, 2005, 06:05 PM // 18:05

People who refuse to think outside the box.

Seriously, it's like a disease or something.

People who ask for a booth at a restaurant and when they don't get it, they pitch a fit, especially when it's uberly busy. (Hey, it isn't my fault that only one of your asscheeks fits onto a chair, moron. Or that you are oh, so reliant on comfort. :\ I love hostessing, you always see the gross side of people. I swear I should be nicknamed "The Hostess from Hell". >:D)

I find those people don't fit into booths, either...

LOL one time I was at a restaurant and a person of said body type literally was sitting on 2 chairs...

I hate it when people lump together all those who profess to be of a specific group just because they hate the group association. F'r instance, have you ever met a single solitary Christian who was nice and congenial? Have you ever met a Republican--just one, mind you--who was open-minded and interested in a good political discussion instead of a verbal flame war? It's called bigotry and I hate it. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate it.

Sorry for the venom, but I deal with the same crap at work and it's really making me sick.

To be fair, some of those people need a good verbal slapping just to knock them off their high horse. Or at least rattle them a bit. For the record, you should read what Jesus himself said to the church leaders of his day. Things about being a pit of vipers and whitewashed tombs full of death and decay. Good stuff, Maynard.

Old Dood · Sep 19, 2005, 01:32 PM // 13:32

I agree with you Beta Ray Bill.

I'll ask my Conservative friends if they watched "The Daily Show" or "Bill Maher" on TV. I get a "I can't stand those shows... they are so bias". Even though the shows are making fun of both sides of the coin. Then they tell me how straight shooting "Bill O'Reilly is".

Also where is this Christian Love and Compassion? Christian means Christ with-in.

I hate snow.

Nice to look at - but a pain to shovel and have to drive through. Thank God I'm back in California.

Alone) · Sep 19, 2005, 03:34 PM // 15:34

These are what I dislike: (Hate IS a strong word

)

1. When I hold doors open for people, they don't thank me or even notice me.
2. People who talk trash, but don't know any better. Like my brother's high school friends.
3. When my girlfriend tickles me.

4.I do especially like "stupid" people. My definition of someone being stupid is a person who doesn't change when he or she can. When a person does not take the time to realize the surroundings. Or have common sense. If we all had common sense, we wouldn't need laws, would we? No one needs to tell me to not go around with a chainsaw hacking people off.

5.On religion, I disapprove of others trying to force their own on others. ie. My mom or dad. My mom's Catholic, my dad's Mormon. Won't go any further than that.

6. People that don't know the difference between being atheist, and being agnostic. Modern dictionaries and online dictionaries putting up wrong terms. Being athiest does mean not believing in a god, but still believing in a higher being. Agnostic is not believing in any higher being, period.

7. Those who think believing in Animism. Whch I do.

Uhh... actually I'm pretty sure the definitions are:
Atheism is a doctrine that mandates there is no God (or equivalent deity).
Agnosticism, on the other hand, is the absence of committment to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God (or equivalent deity).

so and athiest would say: "There is no God (or Vishnu, or Gaia etc....)"
and the agnostic would say: "Until I see proof I really can't say."

If you disagree could you please give us your references? If I've been wrong about this I'd like to know. Thanks.

yeah, you did get them backwards there buddy, not that it matters since they are both stupid, but i wouldnt want to start a flame war

Alone) · Sep 19, 2005, 03:54 PM // 15:54

Well, have you gotten the dictionaries that were made from 1990+? I'm sorry, I'm tired. What I forgot to mention is the changing of definitions. I've used my parents dictionaries when they were in high school and up. When I've been talking to some professors they've told me the same thing. So I possibly could be wrong seeing how many accepts the term atheism as not believing in no higher being. I just learned it the other way

Another dislike:

Too tired to remember where I put my things. I just spent 23 minutes looking for my pencil, only to scratch my head and find it behind my ear.

wsmcasey · Sep 19, 2005, 03:55 PM // 15:55

I was raised to be a gentleman, but i especially dislike it when women expect to be let off the elevator first or expect to have doors opened for them and don't have the courtesy to say "Thank You". If a man or a woman does something like that for me I appreciate it.

I think its really funny that people in my office don't say "bless you" to me when I sneeze, but almost everyone else receives that comment when they sneeze.We had a discussion once a while back regarding religion, and I had brought up the fact that I never really went to church growing up and I find it difficult to believe in a god. I suppose since I don't believe in God then maybe people don't want to bless me when I sneeze? I find it really odd in the first place that we even bless people when they sneeze to begin with.

Alone) · Sep 19, 2005, 03:58 PM // 15:58

I forgot the reason why people say bless you. Just remembering something, is it because the heart stops? A friend next to me says that demons would go up to your nose and tickle you. very old beliefs.

There's loads of possible reasons I think, one is because sneezing means there's a demon up your nose that you've blown out and saying "Bless You" prevents it from going back inside. Another is that when you sneeze your soul comes out of your nose, and saying "Bless You" stops Satan from taking your soul away. And then there's the heart stopping one.

Makes you wonder where the hell "gazoontite" comes from.

At least you know there is a difference.
Most people only know the term "athiest." And they define it in a way that's actually more consistent with "agnosticism."

"gesundheit" means "health" in German.
In Spanish they say "salud" when you sneeze, which also means "health."
