Ya I'm sure the rotting corpses are really concerned about their field being tarnished.

What you SHOULD hate, is the people behind them. The ones cooperating every god-damned media-channel to push out propaganda telling the common-people what is "in" to like.

Hey, dingleberry, you're one of the common people as well.
If you think your corporate angst is anything other then another niche to sell to, I've got a "hand-stitched" Che Guevara shirt to sell you

Despite what I'm about to say, I still love humanity. Just not as much as I would without all the following.

How much critics and other people love Jackass and Clerks

Today's generation of music (I'm 19 and saying this)

Political Correctness

People who where there pants half down. I pants the ones I really don't like.

People who don't use the ignore/block/mute button.

Constantly talking about that Two Girls and One Cup video.

Whenever I see cake some dick will always say it "TEH LIEZ!!!1" Because of this my respect for the gaming community is dropping like a rock.

Riding a bike 15mph in a 35-45mph zone when there's a perfectly good SIDEWALK! "the craks are annoying." How inconsiderate! I ride my POS bike 1.5 miles and back on the sidewalk just so I can get a cheap lunch every other day. The cracks are fine, suck it up!

People who tell me Global Warming is fake. Please understand I'm open to the possibility of their argument being true but it's always the same line. "but defcon, the temperature keeps dropping down every time it does up, thus it will never get too hot." The way it works is the temperature rises, falls, then rises again but more so than the amount it fell by so it's steadily going up (proof
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs/
http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/research/anomalies/anomalies.html
).

Countless times I said this and NO ONE has thought of a rebuttal, so I'm sticking to this until I hear a decent argument.

People who think Mitch Hedberg wasn't uniquely clever.
People who like Carlos Mencia.
Illiteracy.
Please don't mention Hedburg in the same vein as Carlos Mencia! What was wrong with Mitch?

"An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs!"

I loved the guy
Nothing's wrong with Mitch. At all. I was saying people who don't think Hedberg was clever are the one's that make me lose respect.

English people that say american football (football) is a pussy version of rugby.
BRITISH people. Us Scots agree also.
Australians (at least me) also endorse this assessment of the sport with so much advertising i'm awaiting in horror the day when a vending machine is selected as a quarterback.

Ok not that bad, perhaps a kiosk though.

I hear them all the time. Small, little comments that make me say "Wow, are people getting dumber by the day or am I just going crazy?". These things don't have to be world-altering acts of war or anything, no, just small acts and comments that make me have a double-take and think "Are you kidding me?".

Most recently, these things have made me lose respect for people and my faith in humanity...

Example 1:

"In a few days, a movie's coming out that I'm excited to see..."

"What's that?"

"Death Race."

Example 2:

"You're a Buddhist, right? So why are you defending jewish people? Didn't Buddhism start in Guam or something?"

Example 3:

"Jumper was awesome, you have no right to talk about what movies are good! I mean, seriously! You like Pulp Fiction, There Will Be Blood, and Clerks! You like stupid movies."

(Pulp Fiction won a Cannes Award, There Will Be Blood had multiple Oscars, and Clerks is considered by both film critics and fans as a cult classic that left a huge impact on American cinema.)

What about you? What things make you hate your fellow man?
1.) Little cunts like you that shit on everyone else just because they have an opinion that differs from your own. People like you that think they're intelligent just because they go with the mass "This movie won an award, thus it must be good and I receive affirmation that my taste is great!" Here's a tip for you, a lot of movies that win awards are fucking shit. Pulp Fiction, great movie, There Will Be Blood though entertaining with good acting by the main character was shit. Or maybe the other characters were *supposed* to be (cheap) cardboard cut out personalities. And Clerks is amazing, but really it isn't something that stands the test of time that most people want to watch over and over again. Yeah, not everyone knows where Buddhism began, you know why? Because not everyone is Buddhist. Not many people give a shit about it just because it's *your* religion.

Single minded, narcistic pricks like you that can't accept an opinion or belief different than your own who look down on those poor, sick souls who just can't seem to find the light when those that judge can't see that individuality and separate beliefs are what make you human. Jesus Christ, I thought Buddha preached love and peace and unity. It sounds like he's even worse than "Saint" Peter;

2.) Super religious nut jobs that impose their rules and bylaws on others;

3.) The video game industry and the sheeple that really, really like video games, too many a time have I been on IMDB.com and seen someone post "hai this has aliens is it a movee about gears of war?" "A movie about people that steal cars, that sounds an awful lot like GTA4." and of course who can forget the old chest nut, the ass holes that shout "THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!" whenever you bring up cake.

4.) America. Pretty much all of it. Especially the government;

5.) Wal-Mart;

6.) Most of ex girlfriends;

7.) People that don't understand "controlled substances" and why other people do them;

8.) People outside of America that make fun of America for calling it "football" and Americans that make fun of people calling actual football, well, football.

9.) People that ***** about entertains and trash talk them because they expect them to be the shining examples of the human race. I mean really. You really think a person that makes a living out of selling their face and voice on screen while playing any role for money is someone to look up to? Why not just look up to a con artist, or even Poison. They've changed their sound like what, 20 times?

10.) People that ***** about "today's" music and don't realize that all industries are an ever changing entity and that people were saying the same thing about whatever you listened to.

11.) People that talk shit about young entertainers because they're not proper "role models" for their children. Jesus Christ, Miley Cyrus' dad was a rock star who probably used to snort coke off of groupie's pelvises and she's been whored out on TV, and you expect her, another 15 year old, to teach your 15 year old how to live? That's fucking ridiculous. Do your own goddamn parenting and be your own kid's role model. Christ.

12.) People that take the Zombie Survival Guide or any other work of fiction literally and seriously. Yes, I'm looking at you, Scientologists. Your religion started off in a magazine called something like "Pure Fiction."

13.) People that excuse anything that's wrong with a person by making up a disease or disorder. There's something wrong with that person unless they have something major like downsyndrome. They can deal with it or they're just weak.

I'm going to have to agree with most of these because they're all true, especially the parenting one.

Honestly, the biggest problems come from the ignorant everywhere. How is it that even now, we still have to deal with crap like racism and social classes ? How is it that even now, it's still more likely that a police officer will pull over a black man in a nice car then a white man in the same said car ? It's things like this that make me lose hope in humanity.

That, plus the fact that I work at a cineplex and some of the clients that we get there are apparently barely able to blink and breath at the same time.

Politics, War, Celebrities, Rasism, The English Measuring System and why my country still uses it, the works.

By what I've learned, the enlish measurement system originated in medieval times. The system was based on the king. Like the foot. Our fucking country is the only one I know of that still uses it.

In social studies class, our teacher had us draw a world map from memory. Afterwards he told us a story of a girl. She drew California as an ISLAND. The teacher told her, "I think you might have drawn California wrong...", to which the girl replied, "Well, I should know. I was born there."

Fanboyism. This guy is a prime example.

Everyone has their own music interests, but I couldn't help myself with that last one.

I haven't lost faith in ALL of humanity. Not all of em are bad. But that still doesn't mean we don't have people like Britney Spears or Michael Jackson (the WHITE M.J., his music back before he underwent americanization was very catchy) on this earth.

To anyone who is American on here, don't take it personally. Please don't. I'm American too, and sometimes I just use the word to effectively express a point.

I've never claimed to be a shining example of Buddhism, nor was this a complaint about people not knowing where my religion started. But you'd think that the education system of America would atleast get the major world religions down to atleast the fucking Continent. The point was that I found it odd that the fact that I said "That's fucked up" upon hearing a "jew in the oven" joke was reason to bring my religious beliefs into question, and then get it completely wrong anyways...

And another thing I hate. People who complain about my violent or sometimes disdainful feelings towards thing because I've said "I'm a Buddhist" in the past. That doesn't mean I'm a fucking monk, it means its what I belief to be right. Every Christian isn't a shining example of their religion, I don't think my beliefs should be called into question over any comment I make. "Mike, why you like death metal and mixed martial arts so much, I thought Budddhists were peaceful?!". Yeah, Buddhist like fucking Miyamoto Musashi who dueled and killed like over 60 men in his lifetime, not counting all his battlefield stats. Its the same principle.

And as for the movie thing. I pointed out that my opinion on Jumper was "it sucked", only for the response to be "your taste sucks" so I defended it.

Quit nick-picking me, you dirty nick-picking nick picker.... fucker.

1. Ping Pong Playa. They showed the trailer at the Tropic Thunder showing. Seriously, how many fucking movies about Asian stereotypes will there be until they finally stop!? What's worse is that the ENTIRE THEATRE was laughing at the trailer. Oh, how far we have fallen.
2. Beverly Hills Chihuahuas. Do I even need to explain this one? Once again, the trailer was played at the Tropic Thunder showing (Why they think that people who go see Tropic Thunder would even be remotely interested in a movie about talking dogs is beyond me).
3. Reality shows.
4. Judd Appatow movies.
5. Tailgaters
6. People who believe that the ONLY good bands in the world are Linkin Park, SOAD, Three Days Grace, and Slipknot.
7. People who let religion control their entire lives. Or worse, people who try to force their religion upon others. I've had a good friendship ruined because my friend didn't find it acceptable that I watched R-rated movies and drank alcohol occasionally.
8. Arrogant people who strongly believe in stereotypes. I have a Middle-Eastern friend who is one of the nicest, coolest guys you'll ever meet, and has a fairly strong accent. But in airports, I always see people staring at him like he has a second head or something. It's disappointing.
8. On the other hand, people who act exactly like their stereotypes. In Hollywood, there hasn't been a single day where I haven't seen a woman getting harassed by 30-something year old Hispanic men. Word of advice: After living in Hollywood for over a year, I don't recommend living there to anyone.

When I see the front page of the Sun newspaper and see the headline is about Bob Geldolf's daughter getting married and then a tiny article on the side about the Bloodshed in Georgia... Actually, whenever I see any Sun, Daily Mirror, Daily Express headline I loose faith in humanity.

Big Brother on Channel 4 (WHEN WILL IT END!?)
Pop Idol/X Factor all that stuff which is then topped off when I see how many people go and actually watch this shit.
Hollywood
People who drive like idiots and are still on the road
Religious fanatics

This list could go on and on but I think any more and I will loose ALL faith in humanity.

People who go around and vandalize things, just for the sake of doing something stupid. This mostly stems from today, I work at a golf course and we had a big tournament to get ready for. I go out into the field to wash all our carts, and I find that most of the flags are gone. They went out into the golf course (at night, yesterday evening everything was fine) and took the poles and hid them in various places. I found one up a tree, one in a ditch, another in a bunch of reeds, and so on. I couldn't even find one of them. They even took the brand new tee-off markers we just finished painting and threw them around in interesting places too. When I should have been getting set up for the tournament I was up to my ankles in sludge, digging around for a small wooden object (and it's black, no less)

People who have such disregard for these things just boggle my mind.

Also, MTV, Youtube comments, 'popular' music, all the douches getting all the women, etc. I think it's been covered well enough in this topic so I won't rehash it too much more.

I'm currently in high school and I cannot stand the people at school who can't pay attention and disrupt others at the same time. I am sick and tired of people who withdraw to the back of the room and do nothing but talk about something completely unrelated at volumes that drown out the mentor's words.
I'm the person who doesn't care if I piss off a few people who deserve it, so if the teacher is trying to get attention I pitch in by yelling SHUT UP if necessary, this material is important to learn and (unbelievably enough) some people want to hear it over trivial gossip!
Social lives are good but keep them restrained!
I do that sometimes, But notable I could go to sleep in middle school classes and still pass tests with a 85% or above.(Baring math.(And yes I did pass my tests and sleep in class)(No I did not cheat on those tests.)

I hate it when people get it into their heads that swearing is the only possible way of being offensive when communicating verbally. I've gotten banned twice here, and on both occasions the other guy was saying something far, far more offensive than I was, but because I sweared I was the only one to get the banstick. You could probably make a post here about how you molested your daughter and it would be okay because at least you didn't tell anyone to fuck off.

Escapist moderators, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Indeed. My apologies.
