Random BS people say that you get fed up with.

[FPLOON]

Whenever someone says a show/movie/game/book/etc. sucks or is overrated and have never actually seen it or even played it beforehand... especially when they do not have any sort of proof to back up their opinions and/or claims...

I know my best friend does this at times, and I'm used to that since he's usually has tangible and/or plausible evidence to back up his claims... But, even then, if it hasn't even come out yet, that's not really a good enough excuse to outright judge it negatively right then and there...

(Just saying...)

Pathetic excuses for drugs. "Not being high makes me feel bad" in particular.
And what Solemnwar said, with the addition of men who give too much attention to females for just because they're female.
Also people who just call you a nazi because you believe in Socialism/Eugenics is morally okay, then proceeds to tell you why you're wrong for ten minutes.

How about "Getting high makes me feel good?" as a reason for doing drugs? I mean, I personally can respect the honesty there. Although if someone's physically addicted I think they actually have a real reason to do it. Just a terrible one. Also, this hypothetical person should try to get help, even though doing so is probably about as difficult and shameful as can be to admit to others, right after porn-star or prostitute most likely.

Anyhoo, I'd say that anyone who says things like "Atheists/Muslims worldview/doctrine means they will inevitably do evil things". I want to punch the fucks who say things like that. I've actually met some IRL, not just online crazies too. Hell, my uncle goes full NWO conspiracy theorist, claims that the philosophy of humanism is evil, and thinks that atheists think of ourselves as gods, and I have to sit and take it because he's my uncle. And I hate him for it.

Also, people who refer to all women as bitches should get smacked. If you are talking about someone who's a ***** it's totally fine - hell - if you're down at a club getting drunk or high and you say something to that effect, I will be totally chill with it. You can do you, even if it's kinda bad. But if you start to refer to the women around us as bitches while I'm working the cash register and trying to ring up your drink, I will try to at the very least fuck up your order, if not directly antagonize you, as I don't wish to lose my job.

People who correct people for using the word literally 'wrong'. Most virtually everyone ever* is -intentionally- using it wrong. Its the ultimate in hyperbole. It's used 'incorrectly' for emphasis for christ sake. Jumping around and flailing about with all the 'gah you mean -figuratively-' shits me no end; I happen to have a reasonable grasp on my fucking language and know that I'm using the opposite meaning of the word. It's really patronising.

*this is called hyperbole. No one will care if I say it like that. I say 'literally most everyone ever' and there will be some fuckwad somewhere to vomit up a 'deerrrr that word doesn't mean what you think it means'.

For added emphasis, this is from the apple dictionary thingo:

-

literally |ˈlitərəlē; ˈlitrə-|
adverb
in a literal manner or sense; exactly : the driver took it literally when asked to go straight across the traffic circle | tiramisu, literally translated ?pick me up.?
? informal used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true : I have received literally thousands of letters.

-

Notice that bottom point? Even the freakin dictionary gets it.

I'm gonna be "that guy" and jump in with the response everyone's been expecting, but has somehow not been posted yet.

It's "I could NOT care less", not "I could care less". By this point we shouldn't have to fucking explain why the fuck this is. If you're an adult and you don't know how to properly use the word "Not" by now then I'm going to politely ask you and the rest of your inbred, window-licking kind to line up, side by side and proceed to cap the person to your right. I will then proceed to castrate and parade the last remaining one of you around the world as an example of what not to fucking to do.

Also, to a lesser extent, people who are too thick to know how to use the various versions of the words Their/They're/There and Your/You're. Which is, unfortunately, still too common, even on these forums.

"I could care less" is a sarcastic expression.

"I could care less... so continue explaining it to me so I'll further lose interest"

or...

"I could care less... but not by a huge margin"

Much cleverer than just flatly telling someone you're not interested. Plus, it sounds better.

Besides, since when did we have to fucking justify turns of phrase that, in a literal sense, are completely illogical? Like... almost all figures of speech are illogical, that's why they're "figures" of speech, not statements to be taken so seriously.

(especially with threats of violence... like... cool it, dude.)

[Chairman Miaow]

People only used 5% of their brains and geniuses are people who can tap into all of 100%. In that case, why are headshots so damn deadly? If we are only using a small percentage of our brains then we can lose most of it and be perfectly fine.

While what you are saying is mostly true, it is possible to lose a large portion of brain and be mostly fine.

When people claim only a vocal minority of Christians are an issue without evidence. Considering the influence this supposed vocsl minority has politically I expect actual evidence they are just a minority. When there's a phenonmenon like that they need a stronger argument than their own word.

Even if every single christian in the US was a crazy extremist that would still be the minority of christians. Because you do understand there are christians outside of the United States and that in many cases these countries have no problem with a "christian right"?

 

[TheScottishMexican42]

"It was a miracle"

Like "The fact that the pilot landed the plane without wheels is a miracle" or "Do you think the fact you lived was a miracle?" or "This teams victory was a miracle!"

WRONG.

It was the pilot's abilty that landed the plane.
It was the skill of the doctor's that they lived.
It was the team's skill, and teamwork that helped them win.

Not divine fucking intervention.

 

[mattttherman3]

People that think because they are religious, they should get special treatment from me. I work at a call center, I get this a lot:"Now I'm a christian, and I think my services should be working." WHO. FUCKING. CARES. Your damned internet is out! That has nothing too do with the fact that you are indoctrinated!

 

[A_Parked_Car]

Basically whenever somebody who is uninformed talks about history, particularly military history, around me. It is pretty incredible what people think they 'know' about various historical events.

Also, when people constantly use 'how are you' as a generic greeting. That is actually an extremely meaningful and personal question that has been watered down to the point that it is basically equivalent to 'hello'. How stupid is that?

Pathetic excuses for drugs. "Not being high makes me feel bad" in particular.

How about "Getting high makes me feel good?" as a reason for doing drugs? I mean, I personally can respect the honesty there.

In my opinion that's the only really acceptable reason for taking drugs recreationally, and this is coming from someone who's ambivalent towards certain drugs. Other reasons like 'I need it to deal with emotions/pain' lead to dependency.

On a related note, people who say things along the lines of 'I feel sorry for people who need to chemical assistance to enjoy themselves' are snooty pricks who don't know what they're talking about.

 

[AnthrSolidSnake]

When people say something like "We need prayer and bibles back in schools" as if...

1. Prayer and bibles aren't aloud in school (Which they ARE!)
2. Prayer and bibles will stop people from bullying and doing "teenager stuff" like sex and getting into mischief. Sure, brainwashing may work on some people, but not everyone is that stupid.

They act like if the school doesn't force it on everyone then it doesn't exist at all. I don't mind religion, but I do not want it to be something that my friends and future children have to do as mandatory in a place of learning, not worship (though sometimes how teachers and faculty regard themselves it might as well be worship as well)

On a related note. I hate people that say "you dont need drink or drugs to have a good time". People who say this tend to be the most boring kill joys that sap the fun out of everything (there are a few exceptions but thats mostly people that dont drink for medical reasons or if they are nominated driver)

Also while we are on the subject of narcotics people that play drinking games really fuck me off. The whole concept really irritates me, heres a good drinking game:
Step 1) pick up drink
Step 2) drink said drink
Step 3) can you walk? If yes go back to step 1, if no go to step 4
Step 4) go home and stop for a kebab on the way

"America is a republic, not a democracy."

It's both, dude. Usually anyone who says this erroneously believes a republic is a nation with representatives, which actually has nothing to do with what a republic is.

Any objection to homosexuality that the speaker clearly came up with after s/he decided to oppose homosexuality, as a retroactive justification.

Then I don't have time to try to parse the pile of garbage you call "writing".

That I'm too much of a critic when it comes to entertainment. Sorry I don't find every single thing entertaining, especially stuff with bad writing/acting/plot holes.
