That I just háppen to click on the óne spoiler that háppened to spoil the óne game I'm playing just for it's goddamn story right now. Motherfucking typical.
People; name your spoilers, please. Don't just dump down a spoiler and leave it at that. Fúck...
Wait, that is racism.

Wait...what? How can you not like black people? Racism aside, that's saying every black person is the same.Zyst said:

we once went to a local game where there were all the linesmen and and the referee was a women and it was the first time i had seen this happen. what happened was that the woman referee fell over and twisted her ankle in the first 5 minutes and was stretchered off which led to a 30 min wait for another linesmen who kept calling bad offsides all the time to the point where the fans started yelling offside at any pass that was made. was the funniest football game i have ever been to or watched.02y211 said:

Those who want to tell people how to live their lives because they personally object to what other people are doing. What other people are doing should be no business of yours so long as they aren't hurting anyone other than themselves. Leave the Homosexuals, pornographers(adult), pot heads, gamers, smokers, terminally ill seeking assisted sucide, etc. alone. Let people judge fore themselves what is right or wrong for them and deal with the consequences. Life is trial and error, if people don't make mistakes they can't learn, and stop trying to make survival of the fittest obsolete. I understand some friend and family members of above people may have to deal with some discomfort/ emotional pain, but the world isn't all sunshine and happiness. Pain is part of life.
Going to the Science channel and realizing that their target audience is even dumber than average, because people only watch it to look smart...
Also, when the Mythbusters forget that 5 minutes of math is much faster than weeks of experiments and arbitrary explosions, or when they forget a crucial detail of a myth and assume it is busted, I.E. a car skipping across water. They see a Lamborghini Countach skip across a pond, they replicate it with a slightly modified coupe, it works perfectly! Yet, it is busted because they had to change the weight distribution for the FRONT-ENGINED coupe to be more even, when the car in the myth was a Lamborghini which happened to be REAR-ENGINED.
Also, I saw some show on the Military Channel about some combat vans built junkyard wars-style, and they waste so much time working on a stupid cleaver when they already have a machine gun on there! Not only that, but they could easily find out that it was too heavy for the piston to move quickly. Find the weight of it, find a good target speed, multiply psi of piston by area of piston head, and divide by the weight of the cleaver. That will give acceleration in G.
now, plug in the result into this:
(Seconds)=[9.8(Meters/Second)(G-forces from earlier conclusion)]^2-(Distance in circumference to target)
Take those seconds, and put it into this:
(Quantity of Seconds from last equation)[9.8(m/s)*(G)]^2=Speed in M/S

Oh, so many things. Here are a few:
- People who walk in a line of three on the sidewalk and as such, block anyone from passing. Really annoying when you have places to be and they are walking so slow that I could duckwalk faster than them.
- People with obscene amounts of hair gel in their hair. I swear I could swing a golfclub at their heads and break it without them noticing.
- Girls doing the duckface. It's not sexy in any way, shape or form, so please stop.
- Football (soccer) hooligans. Why the hell should we have to dedicate ridiculous amounts of money in order to make sure two groups of jack offs don't kill each other over men running around in shorts kicking a piece of fake leather?
- People who expect you to solve their lives for them. I will gladly be there to support and help you, but some decisions you have to make on your own!
- People who get pissed when you ask them to explain their stance in a question. I'm sorry, but I don't always find "because it's simply like that" to be a sufficient answer.
- Mosquitoes who fly into your room while you are trying to sleep. FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU-
- Macho-bullshit in general.
- People who sing in public. I've got a dude in my dorm doing this and not only does he sing the same line over and over again, but he usually gets the lyrics wrong!
- People who put their personal preferences as the definitive standard. "If you haven't watched this movie then you can't call yourself a movie lover"/"You don't like metal unless you listen to this band"/"You can't call yourself a real gamer until you have played this game!". Truth be told, if I have to do certain things and like certain things to be accepted by some of these people, I think I'd rather pass.
That will do for now, I'm sure I'll be back once I have gotten some sleep.

Sometimes my parents love to throw parties with beer and music. They ALWAYS put the music so loud, and they'll do this on a school night at 2:00 in the morning. Then they'll get mad at me when I complain about getting up.
I also hate when people yank my glasses of my face, even if it's to clean them. I like being able to see.
And catholic schools. I spent a year and a half at one, and if we weren't talking about God, Jesus, or Mary, we were talking about Saints and doing the rosary for an hour. Religion is fine, but I have no plans of becoming a nun anytime soon. And you know what? I got in trouble there for DRAWING PEOPLE KISSING! I understand my guys sometimes look like girls but COME ON! That takes it a step too far!

The Westborro Baptist Church and its pickets, Christian Crazies, the idiot right-wingers who are stirring up needless controversy over a "Ground Zero Mosque" which isn't even on Ground Zero. On the other end I'm also annoyed by Atheist Zealots who literally want to kill anyone who believes in any form of deity. People who act elitist because they own a Gaming PC and lord it over console owners (I haven't seen anything like that on this site but a lot in YouTube comments sections) 99% of YouTube Comment Sections to name a few.
I get mad like hell, still, when a 'comedic reviewer' on the net feels he has to drop a line to insult Halo and the fanbase involved and does so with a clear lack of understanding of the subject matter.
Complain about us 'Halo fanboys' leaping at the opportunity to angrily defend our franchise as much as you want but guys, maybe if you weren't always insulting us and our franchise we wouldn't feel the need to defend it all the time. Food for thought maybe?
Also I cannot ever say it enough, I hate the hate Ashley from Mass Effect gets. In my opinion she's one of the best female characters I've seen in gaming. With real human flaws and strengths and weaknesses and real personality thrown in but because she distrusts alien foreign powers because of bad family history and lack of personal experience then obviously she has to receive hatred on all sides from a crowd of people who are backing up an industry that has been built around the killing of aliens as a form of leisure.
Finally though, the big one right now.
My country is currently in a state of 'Hung Parliament' which tragically does not mean that it has been replaced by a porn studio. It means that neither party has a majority rule so we either stick with a turbulent government or we re-do the vote.
It's incredible. For months I've been wanting this election to be over so that I could stop having to worry about politics for another three years and now something that has only ever happened once before has intervened and prevented it.
That's right an actual historical event occurred, seemingly just to screw me over.

the term 'Ground-Zero Mosque' and the fact that people are still talking about something that shouldn't be a big issue at all, especially not an issue for jackass gubernatorial candidates in FL, using it for petty political gain.
A Mosque, itself, is a place where only prayer and religious matters are conducted, this building is 13 stories tall, only 2 of them devoted to 'prayer centers' or other places reserved for worship, other floors reserved for things like a basketball court and a culinary school. Do we call, say, Abbot Northwestern Hospital a Church because it has a chapel inside? No. That and it's two blocks away, completely obstructed by other buildings to anyone around the actual ground zero site. They wouldn't even know it was there if they didn't know about it.
There's no threat, there's nothing wrong with it- and anyone ignorantly thinking this is some kind of terrorist monument or training center needs to rethink the tenants of their faith and of the country AND the ridiculous War on Terror that they so fervently say they support. They clearly do not understand any of them.
There's a certain amount of people saying that it's 'insensitive' to the people that lost loved ones on 9/11- but I was under the impression that it was 'al-Qaida' that did the damage, not 'muslims' or some other ridiculous blanket statement.

- People who bash religions and corporations as one homogenous mass without realizing they are made up of people. With families. And feelings. Just like them.
