Dutch tourists. They're perfectly fine in their own country, but whenever they're in a different country they walk slow and randomly stop and block everything for 5 minutes to take a picture.

People think I'm anti-human. I'm not, I'm just anti-bigotry, anti-idiocy and anti-superstition.
So you see where the mistake can be made.

Organized Religion. Most of it. Not just the ignorant fucks who got told once what to belief and then attack anything that doesn't fit into that mold. I mean the "normal" Religion, or at least the organized Religion, organized meaning "moneygrabbing" in most cases.
We have this huge Church in my tiny little town and the preacher there recently started collecting money for a new stained Glass window. For 10000?.
He got the Idea from one of his Colleagues. 10% of that money wont even be used for the window or for the companies that make it and/or install it, it'll be used for "church expenses".
Apparently practices like that are fairly common apparently. My Sister had some Problems with the horrendous state the Daycare center she brought her daughter to was in. Apparently the "Sponsor", the catholic Church keeps about two thirds of the money from the parents for more "Church expenses" and let the daycare center literally fall apart.
Most Institutions, if "managed" by the Church are substandard. One must wonder where all the Money goes.
But allright, that's just to explain that i'm not hating on organized Religion because i see what the westboro baptist Church is doing and therefore think all Religion must be the same Kind of malicious Horror fallen upon Mankind because i'm an Idiot, i have an actual Reason, one that i can talk about using the Speechcenter in my Brain.
There are other Things that piss me off. Videogaming industry and its hatred against Customers. Seriously, take most of the negative Headlines on several Sites about Videogame Companies and one of the most viable theories one can come up with is that they're possessed by evil. Wouldn't that explain so much?
I don't actually believe that because i'm not *that* dumb, but it does astound me how much could be explained by that if we lived in some Kind of magical World.
We have big Companies that hamper the Development and growth of their own Medium, their own Market. And i can not get behind their reasons.
Why in the World would you slowly but surely kill off the PC Market with more and more restrictive DRM that most likely only works to piss off Customers while Pirates enjoy the last big Games on PC without buggy DRM?
You know, since Games nowadays are apparently shovelware, one could avoid the evil pirate infested PC market by releasing games to the consoles first and 4 weeks later, when apparently no one cares about the Game because some analysts say so, release it to the PC. Maybe trillions of Copies will be illegally downloaded, or so videogame companies seem to think, but one or two may be bought as well.
Even if you don't continue the Trend that may eventually lead to the copyprotection software having cost more money in the Development than the fucking Game.

It's very very vague. Basically, in titles, do whatever the hell you want when it comes to capitals.Vanitas likes Bubbles said:
OT: Australia's internet. Having a good internet here is comparable to having some of the worst you can get in the US. I hear people complain about 2 mb/s download, how about 100 kb/s on average >:/
Morons, the near-constant boredom I now live my life in, having no fucking money, the severe lack of any good yaoi anime around, my slow-ass laptop, American politics specifically the fucking Republicans, mysteriously having a cold when it should be fucking summer, the smug judgemental gaze of my brother when he sees me reading Death Note, wanting to buy more Death Note but being unable to because of the aforementioned money issue, people being intolerant of other people's culture, and the Dutch.
When the people I live with decide to put left overs in empty butter/margarine containers. Why? Why butter/margarine containers? Why not buy some goddamn tupperware and stop making me think we have butter/margarine WHEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING BUTTER/MARGARINE!!! I WOULD OF GOTTEN SOME IF I KNEW WE WERE OUT! I JUST ATE A BAGEL WITH NOTHING ON IT! IT WAS TERRIBLE!
People who empty a milk bag (I live in Canada and milk comes in bags so deal with it.) and don't replace it.
When people don't say anything when we're out of milk.
People who feel the need to inform me that I don't talk alot, what? do you think I didn't notice?
Birds
There's more but I don't want to type them all out right now.

Bigotry in its many aggravating forms, people who cut me off on the highway, and people who say YOLO.

....you know, [b/]to make my self as absolutely clear as possible[/b] its not 100% clear he's trolling...he could just be..you know, a dudebro who doesn't understand the concept of internet discussion/debate/arguments
or if he is a troll I should have known better
That's a fair point. People are far too quick to use the word "troll" nowadays, myself included. Perhaps he is just a "dudebro", or as I like to call them "idiots".Vault101 said:thanksanthony87 said:

Mainly, at the moment, the current economical system and all the people who insist it's perfect.
Honestly, the "Market" is starting to sound more and more like some sort of obscure, commerce-based deity, who certainly moves in mysterious ways... First of all, why does real, living humans have to be miserable just because it's part of or gains the system? And surely, if it's that awesome, it can stand for a bit of an update now and then. What matters more? The exact ammount of money a corporation can stash away in a bank somewhere, or the welfare of human beings?
And no, I'm neither a lazy sod who don't want to work or advocating planned economy. That worked even worse in the end. All I'm saying is, capitalism as it stands now isn't a very humane system, and it's in all our best interest as a species to give it a bit of a tweaking.
Furthermore, if you're on the recieving end of a buttkicking by a system that doesn't work in your favour, certainly it's natural that you complain about it? Does that make you some sort of parasite or a loser?
Preferably before we enter some cyberpunk future scenario where people are sacrificed to Lord Mahr'ket for fortune and kind winds on the seas of commerce or something.

3 is interesting. Why do you think that way? And as for 4, I'm pretty sure praying to different gods is a fairly sizable part of being in a different religion. Or even not praying. What did you mean by that?BOOM headshot65 said:

eople who pull my beard.And I don't mean my friends when they're messing or young children.I'm talking about random strangers(often women)who'll just walk up to me and tug on it.Happens way more often than it should.At least bloody ask me firstPeople who don't control their kids in places like restaurants,pubs,shops etc.If you want to let your brats run around screaming their heads off then take them to a park ffs
Drivers who ignore traffic signals.There's a pedestrian crossing just down the road from me and the amount of drivers who just ignore the lights there is just ridiculous.Protip - flashing amber light means "slow down and prepare to stop" not "accelerate to try and beat the red light".Red light means STOP.I've nearly been knocked down a couple of times by morons who decided to drive straight through the red while I was in the middle of crossing the fucking road
Adverts. Fuck me they are annoying. Obnoxious bullshit.
And bad parents. Especially the ones that are always looking for someone else to blame.
