-Live-action adaptations of animated shows.
-Portions of masculism. I'm not talking about those with legitimate grievances about false rape and/or a desire to explore the full spectrum of gender politics, I'm referring to those who write up color-coded systems of "shaming language" and then call anyone who supports the 19th amendment a "mangina." Warren Farrel's alright.
-DRM and other draconian anti-piracy measures. They crack so quickly it's not funny anymore, rendering only a pretty strong inconvenience to legitimate buyers.
-The notion that emotions=bad and logic=good. Logic depends on a basic goal, otherwise nothing is preferable to anything (for example, the idea that murder is bad depends on the idea that it's heavily preferable for someone to live. Otherwise there's no moral preference either way). The idea of pure logic is hilarious.
-The term political correctness. For one thing, it takes the concept of certain ideas being generally liked and disliked, something that existed since people spoke, and makes it out to be a recent horrible development. It then makes the implication that generally liked ideas are bad and disliked ones good (ever seen one of those "politically incorrect and proud of it" bumperstickers, or see someone be attacked for being politically correct?), being pretty much a platform for demonizing the basic idea of getting along and not treating people like crap (because those are lies from the liberal sheeple, amirite?), and conversely giving credence to otherwise idiotic ideas with a bizarre underdog narrative (i.e pretty much any time someone goes on about the "liberal media").
Besides, it's something hack comedians use to make themselves look edgy and rebellious for dropping the n-word a few times.

religion is an invention, an invention of the mind, so you're right on trackJezzeh said:
as for me, i wish (even though i love it AND the xbox) Halo was never invented, because it started the whole trend of "realistic" shooters. it's just not worth it to not have more games like Unreal Tournament and Doom ruling the shooter scene.......

Not Religion as a whole, but Religion as a Device.
Gay - Straight Camps *Whatever you want to call it*
Arguments that use emotions rather then fact.
Music as a media and not as an Art *And by that I mean No I am not a Dadrock fag, this division happened long before my time*.

Sorry, couldn't seem to think up enough trivial things I hate besides that first one (and even then that's a throwaway; Scott Pilgrim convinced me you could, given proper directing and the right approach to special effects, make a good live-action adaptation of a sillier shonen manga). Besides, people going on about political correctness really does piss me off.VikingSteve said:
In my defense on the "fucking up the world without them," though, I kept in mind that guns work as a "great equalizer," moving humanity away from dependence on brute physical strength.
I also want to go on a slight rant about the people who say Rap.
Rap is a far more expansive genre then you guys probably know, Rap as a vocal styling has a technique, it may not be traditional singing but nether is metal or screamo, and im sure some of you guys are gonna bawl about how I compared Metal to Rap and Screamo, if you describe Screamo as people who scream with the music then screamo is a far more expansive genre as well.
Though Screamo is actually a sub-genre of a variety of genres that use screaming.

Yeah I say Religion as a Device as well. Mainly because even in Christianity GOD never intended for that....Tanner Brichacek said:
If anything Religion is a man made institute filled with good intention, but turns the worship of God into a competition and at times a mundane and drab ritual that eventually drives a number of people away from God rather than draw them to him.
God: So you shall spread my word and help thy fellow man on the path to righteousness.
Man 1: Ok sweet....Hey what if we make an exclusive sect devoted to prosecuting and recruiting those who don't believe our every exact interpretation of the Bible?
Man 2: Hey that's sounds like a great Idea...Only Mine is Better!!!
Man 1: NU UH!! Mine is!!!
God:.....*Sigh*....I give up...Seeya in a few millenium when you kill my son....Ungrateful pricks.
