People who moan about the friend-zone and being a `Nice Guy` make me wanna sneeze blood on them.
1. Dear lord. These jerks who think the reason they don't have a girlfriend is because girls have formed an illuminati-like organization devoted to spurning every well-intentioned, noble, selfless man in the world. The way these guys paint themselves is ludicrously masturbatory and it bothers me even more when I witness a huge portion of girls in the same boat (i.e finding difficulty with attracting someone) blame themselves and internalize it. It really makes my blood boil.
2. Okay, so religion. A lot of things about it annoy me, but... The thing that bothers me most is probably the argument that some religious people take. The one where they might go on for ages criticizing an atheistic viewpoint, and when a counterargument is made you hear that damn word. "Faith".
"You can't argue with my beliefs, they are faith."
"There's something called faith, I don't
need proof."
and worst of all
"You have to respect my beliefs, I have faith."
Nnnnnrggg. Why engage in an argument at all if you are going to use this cop-out? If you use religion as a personal thing, that's fine. Acknowledge that in the context of a debate you may as well be arguing the existence of the Tooth Fairy and stop pretending is defensible through logic.
And don't assume that just because I am arguing with what you believe in, I'm disrespecting it. If I scrutinize something, it's
because I respect it. I wouldn't waste my time criticizing, say, piracy because I just don't give it the time of day. Me disagreeing with your viewpoint does NOT count as an assault on your beliefs, at all
Okay, there. I tangentially mentioned religion and I think I did so fairly. it didn't even really turn into a giant rant there.
saw it last night x)
