Things That Upset You?

[Senate]

right now I hate my job, it's just not interesting... 3 to 6 more months and I'll look for another one.

[JD Spydo]

Vampyrewolf you struck a major nerve with me my friend. I wish I could shake your hand right now. The statement you made about outsourcing customer service, telemarketing, tech support and such coming from foreign, non English speaking countries. This crap of having to deal with people who don't speak English in sensative jobs like the aforementioned just about makes me as angry as these reprehensible Cell Phone Addicts :mad: . I went to California recently and went to a TACO stand that was run by nothing but Mexican Nationals. They didn't even know what the word "taco" meant in English :eek: . It was so disgusting that the people behind me even walked out. I have nothing against other people of other nationalities at all. But when they come here to America they are going to speak English to me or I am going to walk every time from now on. How utterly disgusting :mad:

JD:

I've spent enough time dealing with cultures worldwide (online communities open your view of the world emmensly)... I have no problem with other cultures, or with them using thier own language. My problem is when something is needed and the language barrier gets in the way enough that you have to say something 5-6 times.

I just had fun with columbia house trying to get money out of me... they eventually sent it to a collection agency. Got called for 2 weeks by some asian that could barely speak enough english to tell me they wanted money and where to send it. I spent the last 2.5yrs working with philipinos, and have no problem with odd accents. I eventually told columbia house in email why they aren't getting thier money from me(they broke the original contract 3yrs ago by not getting me the full 12). What do you want to wager that if an english speaking CS rep had called it could have been done on the phone?

[chinook]

People who complain about concepts that they can't recognize in themselves or even spell it correctly.

Blonde jokes and the people who help fuel it (like actresses)

i would have to say the thing that bugs me the most is when the "better half" goes out on your anniversary and buys himself another spyderco instead of getting his "better half" something when she goes out and gets him a very rear spyderco, and then he continously continues to do so. oh and :
1. people whom dont listen to others oppinions because they know everything
2. bad drivers
3. smelly people whom only take a shower every month because they are fourced to do so by there mums.

LOL echogirl, looks like you speak from experience? :rolleyes: Hmmm i wonder if your better half is a long term poster and you decided to join! Are you an internet :spyder: widow? :D

1. Obscene song lyrics played at public address system volume on car steros.

2. Calling the customer service number of an American manufacturer and having my call answered by someone for whom English is obviously a second language.

3. Inconsiderate cell phone users.

If a person hates homosexuals and also hates bigots does that person hate himself? :confused:


As usual, I can not hope to top Hannibal's encompassing statement but I'll throw up a specific:
Hypocrites...did you know the greek word for actors is hypocrit? So the next time a 10 bedroom mansion owning actor tells you to drive a Hybrid car just laugh and think Greek. :D

[Outlaw]

The ex-wife
The ex-wife's attorney
My attorney
Dumb asses at work who make more $ than I do
Did I mention the ex-wife?

Bigot: One who is strongly partial to one's own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

My problem with homosexuals isn't with their culture, but rather thier role in humanity and evolution. As far as furthering the species, they are the genetic dead end. A virtual black hole of evolution.

[Dr. Snubnose]

Only a couple of things really get my goat:

People who won't control their kids in a resturant while I'm eating....(I must admit that I love kids however I have to fight the urge to walk over and snap their little necks when they are screaming) I solved the problem by always taking a pair of custom ear plugs with me, and I use them a lot.

I get really mad when people shoot at me.


Other then those two things I always remain cool :cool: calm :) and collected Doc

By that same token, one would also hate anyone who does not procreate, including people who are unable to. That would even be like hating certain religious positions where having a child is unacceptable.

One can also further the species without bringing offspring into the world. I'm sure there are inventors who have created something that benefitted mankind but did not pass on their genes, I wouldn't call them a black hole, they are still part of an evolutionary process.

Not to mention there are gay couples who donate to sperm banks, that is still procreating, just in a less than usual way. There are also lesbian couples who bear children, they pass on genes. Even if they were to adopt, it may not be passing down physical traits, but the environment the child is subjected to will shape it a great deal as well, which some could consider passing on something similar to genes.

I think I could understand better if we were somehow an endangered species, but I don't see there being any under population problems. Haven't you ever been in a traffic jam or something trivial like that and thought how there are just too many people out there?

lol. I had a feeling the dictionary quotes would come out on this one. Yes, your quote from dictionary.com does cover bigot...so does merriam webster online:
bigot: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices
prejudice: an irrational attitude of hostility directed against an individual, a group, a race, or their supposed characteristics

Yep we can both quote dictionaries, doesn't really prove much however.

So your problem basically stems from the fact that homosexuals will not reproduce? Well that seems to be a rather shortsighted opinion as many of them in fact do reproduce with the help of surrogates, and if they don't do that they do try to adopt, when the law allows, many unwanted children from this poor, overpopulated, crowded planet of ours. If lack of production, is your problem, then really you hate all people everywhere, who are unable or unwilling to reproduce. Your reason being that by not reproducing the evolutionary process is not furthered. So you actually hate nonreproductives, not homosexuals. :p
If this is your feeling, that they serve no purpose as they don't reproduce, then you should rejoice in them! That is less competition for you to spread your superior genetic code to a further product base, thereby spreading your genetic desire to further the evolutionary process. :rolleyes:

Quite frankly, the evolutionary process may be stymied by modern medicine. Poor eyesight, diabetes, and a host of other ailments are on the rise, as medicine allows the "weak" to live long enough to reproduce and pass on genetic weaknesses to their offspring. Where in the past, their ailments would kill them prior to reproductive years (my hypothesis).

Well that cover evolution. You also say that it isn't a homosexuals "culture" but their role in humanity that you disagree with. Sorry, I really need a definition of what you mean by that as it means the same thing to me.

Edit: and after I finally post the long winded retort, I see that slvgx has done a much better job of voicing the same opinions. :D

Yeah, I would find that as worthy of some brimstone and damnation, not to mention a retort of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal propelling your favorite alloy to answer! :p

Considering that culture can simply be defined as a group of like individuals with a common goal, in the case of human sexuality having someone to spend time with and relax with(among other activities), homosexual, bisexual and hetrosexual cultures are only seperated by a difference in thier choice of partner. Homosexual and Bisexual stand out with the usually obvious behavior differences that would possibly signal to others about thier choice, preventing awkward situations. So as that stands, it's not the culture that concerns me.

The Christian belief system has altered 2000 years of it's history to please the current population. 6.5million years of evolution means nothing to that belief system when they only focus on 2000 years since thier 'savour' came to earth(never mind that they can't decide WHAT year he was born(5BC if you follow King Herod's wide spread slaughter), or that they lost years 12-30 in the most important figure they knew at that time). How can humanity evolve if "adam" hadn't been interested in "eve"? Nothing would have occured to further the species right from the get go(as the Christian belief system thinks it was ONLY 2 humans on the planet at that time).

As far as evolution compared to "spreading genetic base", short of a post apocolyptic near extintion of humanity as we know it, there is no point to having more than 1-2 children. Personally, I can guarentee that I don't have any children yet. I don't see the point to doing as most guys my age who hit loose women up in bars and compete to see who can be the largest walking microbiological experiment.

And now we get to medicine and what it has done. While it is true that society has effectivly doubled our lifespan in the last century or so, what was the cost? cancers, handicaps, diseases we cannot pronouce, longevity without health(mental and physical), where the weak survive and the strong pay for it. Survival of the fittest and may we neuter all weaker strains of genes before they reproduce(Darwin and Murphy do thier part but we can all help). HIV was spread like wildfire in the 80's with a pandemic of homosexual behavior across northamerica.

So getting back on track, in regards to homosexuals and thier role in humanity's evolution, take note of the last few tangents. Religion has been altered to make them feel wanted, Diseases have spread because of them, and while thier actions may sustain the species through adoption, the joining of 2 souls for life in marriage [male to female] is how humanity has worked for eons. This recent trend(the last 20-30yrs) is but a blip on the timeline of evolution. Are we do scrap 6.5million years of evolution for 30years and say that it's alright? that it's welcome? I say we need a return to normallicy and get rid of all the homosexuals and bisexuals. Return to a survival of the fittest society and watch evolution and natural selection weed out what doesn't belong.

Homosexuals don't make a deliberate choice concerning their attraction toward people of the same sex. Not beeing ABLE to reproduce, is in my vieuw an unwanted effect of the fact that they where born homosexual.

I really can not understand how someone could "hate" homosexuals, because in my vieuw i have never seen the homosexual community as a threat.
Of course some religious systems impose the thought that homosexuality is wrong or bad.
A weird fact considering that these religions consider GOD the creator of beeings, homosexuals included!

So if there is a god, and he created "man" why would he create something that was bad or useless from an evolutionary vieuwpoint.

My experiance is that homosexual people try to compensate the fact that they can not reproduce themself by trying to excell in a certain part of society.

There is a disproportionate amount of homosexuals in say the medical sector, the arts,movie industry and politics.

This is probably due from a sociological vieuwpoint to the fact that they can not reproduce themself genetically (until now), so they try to compensate it by trying to have added value to humankind by their mere presence.

As a father i have been able to spread my DNA thru my children, so from a biological vieuwpoint i don't have to manifestate myself in other forms to the community.

I also recognise tha fact that we take for granted that we fall for a person from the opposite sex, but what if this was not the case?
Ask yourself the question if YOU could alter your sexual preference so easely, or abstinate from having normal feelings of love, sexual pleasure etc?

IMHO homosexuality is not a choice but a biological factor you get born with. Nature has been able to run it's planet pretty well since it's formation. The fact that there are homosexuals is only because it seems there is a biological reason for some people to be homosexual.

Because we are not god, nor did we create this world, my vieuw is that we should not question this fact. It's just there.

Of course my vieuw on homosexuality has no moral, social or political value other then my own. I am not in the position to tell people if they are wrong or right in their sexual preference. No one questions my sexual preference so i should not question other peoples sexual preference. just my 2 cents

[zenheretic]

Personally, I can guarentee that I don't have any children yet.

If one hates those who don't reproduce and one hasn't reproduced, does one hate oneself? :D

On another, topic....don't you hate people who hijack threads? Sorry for hijacking the hate thread. :rolleyes:

[Stevie Ray]

1. Screaming kids on planes

2. Interstate drivers that agressively attempt to cut off merging traffic

3. Women with shopping carts that ram your shopping cart (or you ..!) at the grocery store. Yes ... this does happen here in the great cultural melting pot that comprises metropolitan Washington .. It's a cultural thing, but darn ... seems kinda rude to me ... :mad:
