People think I'm stupid becuase I'm overweight, I hate that. Seriously. I like fiddling with technology, drawing and reading books. I spend most of my time in my head and not at a gym, so sue me.
ugh.
ugh.

-"All Muslims are Arabs"
Gee, I guess that me being Malay and Asian, I'm not actually a Muslim
-"Muslims are terrorist!" "They are all about spewing hate" "They are holding science back" Etc
Cracked.com, save me now. I seriously don't have the energy

Sigh, with the Norway shooting thread and other threads popping up I feel terrified to admit I'm Muslim for fear of being lynched
-"Religion is the root of all evil"
Yes, I'm sure it wasn't the fault of the people twisting it's teachings to satiate their greed
-"It's in the Bible/ Quran/ yadda-yada, therefore I must hate gays/blacks/witches/heavy metal"
So you're telling me that in all these centuries we've had these books, No one writing it thought "Hmmm gays are icky. but this book are not supposed to kill. Maybe I'll change that"
-"All athiest are evil people with no moral compass"
Wow, I guess all my athiest friends must be having orgies and murdering babies when I wasn't looking
-"All religious people are intolerant and spout how much God hates things"
Please don't take the image of the vocal minority and apply it to the whole of us. I have never done that. My whole family is more religious than I am and they never do that.
Sorry bout that. I usually never feel like posting about religion but I was reaching my limit
"All metal is about sacrificing goats, screaming, growling and impaling babies"
"All metal that Existed older than 2001/ doesn't involve screaming or moshing sucks/is not TRoo metal"
-Further evidence that my school was filled with retards. "Bullet for my valentine beats Pantera" My ass!
"All metalheads are dirty, violent, heavyset psychos"

LiberalSquirrel, you took the words right out of my mouth. On all three counts! Spooky =)LiberalSquirrel said:
I'd also extend the first two to cover 'Girl who does science'. I know being a female graduate student in Physics/Chemistry isn't the most comfortable road you can take, gender politics-wise (even today) but jeez...
I *really* hate the assumption that some people make that because I'm a woman, the science I do must be 'easier', and that I must be looking for special treatment. Augh! The whole reason people formed 'Women in Science' groups etc was to effing *protect* themselves from bullshit like that...
*can't...contain...rage...* *BOOM*
*cough* sorry, Rant over ;-)
I am fine with religion as long as people don't use it as justification for their negative actions. Example: I killed a couple hundred people, but I did it for jesus.LiberalSquirrel said:
I really hate the assumption that happens a lot on the internet, especially on Youtube. It's how almost all arguments get started. It's the assumption that you are totally ignorant of absolutely everything in the world except what you have posted. People treat you like a moron who knows nothing at all for no reason. What do they expect? That you introduce yourself and write your entire life story and list your education and career before every single thing you post? Well I have news for you, Youtube has a character limit on comments.
On a side note, I personally really hate that film. One of the only Ghibli films that I don't like. I just don't like any of the characters and don't care about them, so I don't feel for them and it didn't give me any kind of feeling when they died. To me it was just a waste of a few hours and I wish I never bought it.lucario719 said:
Since I'm a Christian, it is a supposed fact that I'm stupid, have no interest in science (I really enjoy Human Biology) and I'm just generally out of touch. I also sympathise with atheists that are assumed to be inherently evil or just close-minded.
One that very often irritates me is that becaue I'm a bit over 6 foot 4, I regularly play basketball. I don't hate basketball, but I'm much more into martial arts and just generally being active. Being a white 18 year old male that drives a commodore and plays videogames leaves me very open to others, but the height issue never goes away.

I know that this is a bad attempt at satire on my part, and my wishes go out to all who suffered in the twin attacks, but I hate it when people assume that because one person who played some video games commits acts of terror, they assume that all video games are bad and will make you evil. (That one's been waiting for ages)
I also hate it when some people assume, one, because I don't listen to the same music as them (usally dance, R&B, Hip-Hop etc.) that I listen to classical (because I look like (more like am) a nerd), two, that because I do not pick on people and try to be diplomatic that I am weak, three, that becuase my ex is two years younger than me I am a peadophile and four, that I am poor beacuse "only" I got an iPod touch - the irony is that our parents had just finished paying off the mortgage, and that the person who said that lives in a council house.
On a different note, Doclector, I applaud you.

I hate it when people assume that us Brits are all top hat wearing, scone eating, tea drinking toffs who all live in castles and worship the Queen.
It's also annoying when people seem to think that Britain is still LEAD and GOVERNED by the monarchy. People always seem eager to forget that Britain was one of the first (note that I said ONE OF THE FIRST, not THE FIRST) countries to have a Parliament and some form of democracy.
Sits back and awaits a surge of "US AMERICANS INVENTED DEMOCRACY" comments.

the funniest thing is the fact that if you were given the killers profile aside from his name, it would sound damn close to bill o reilly.xXAsherahXx said:
I also hate the assumption that because I prefer consoles to PCs, I must be an idiot. It's less how smart I am, and more how much effort I can justify putting into a playing a game. If I could be bothered with manually looking up patches, dealing with the increased DRM, and fiddling with settings, (not to mention actually getting a laptop that can play more than flash games) then I'd play PC, I am actually really jealous of some PC exclusives like amnesia, penumbra, the various brilliant looking source mods, and various things on steam, but I just can't be bothered, when I buy a game, I want to play it with little to no fuss, which appears not to be the case with the multiple stories of PC gaming nightmares I hear.
Heh, cheers for removing the assumption I made. Sorry, force of habit.XcrossX said:
Anyway, I never said the US wasn't democratic. Just referring to the fact that Britain had a parliament since 1707, whilst England and Scotland had their own parliaments since 1264 and 1235 respectively.

That is quiet alright. Both countries have failed at what a democracy should be, while still claiming to be great for that which they have so obviously misrepresented at courses throughout their history. The U.S. is just the classic victim of the here and now. Plus, as an American (and I'm sure as a Brit, you agree), the party system is the dumbest shit ever. Hell... our (not yours) founding fathers told us so. *facepalm*
Pretty much the whole playing video + a kid = violence!
Also I hate when people assume I can speak Chinese but sorry to break it to them I can't at all! Well ok I can't blame them too much for it but really I can't speak it at all. I can understand a little but not fluently.

The most annoying for me... where people assume I should be smiling. Not really an assumption but you would be surprised how many times certain people ask me why I'm not/don't smiling/smile.
back to assumptions, when people assume I'm being aggressive or similar action or emotion, that I find the most annoying. It usually results in comments that would prove Godwin's law once more.

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
Men with kids = paedo :/ I'm good with kids, like my cousins, better than my sisters!!
Men can't get preggers or have periods so have no maternal instinct, no right to kids and can't be good parent because of this.
Also: Because men can't have a period we can't possibly ever know what it's like to be a woman but they are apparently always in our one-minded-all-of-us-find-them-inexplicably-attractive heads.
Score 3 more for the 'equality' of Feminism!
