And yes I've been looked at as some crazed lunatic for actually hating the Beatles by many of my friends and straight yelled at that I'm wrong by people who are not my friends.
YES! The Beatles are bloody awful in my opinion and people need to stop saying that they invented rock. What they did in rock was farther from what rockers have done in the forty years since them then even Elvis. Come now people, see the truth.
Not even that people try to argue that they are better musicians than any of the members in The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin when that is just straight up WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!
Precisely my point!!
The only innovative thing they did at all was be the first to put random noises in the background of their music. And that went out of style after the eighties!
Sir I think I found someone I can actually talk too! Though bacon and coffee would not be in any of our conversations because I love them so much even though I know they're killing me.


P.S.Fuck John Lennon.
I can agree with you guys here. Some of the later stuff they did was ok but nothing great. I've always thought The Beatles were one of the most overrated bands.
> The Beatles are overrated
> Led Zeppelin isn't

Incorporate some jokes into your hatreds like I do. Good way to be able to state what you feel and make other laugh in the process. They'll think you're joking, but you still get the chance to say it out loud in front of them whether they believe it or not. Perhaps you're not the cynical and sarcastic type though as I am. It helps.

The below statements will be laden with jokes as well as opinions:

On the topic of coffee and bacon, I don't particularly like coffee either nor do I see the appeal in all the froo-froo hipster mocha-frapa-cappa-what-the-fuck-ever flavors and styles but if I do happen to feel the urge to have some, I get a regular.

As for bacon, probably the only animal I spare in my quest to eat as many animals as possible. Seriously though, on the random mornings at work that someone decides to cool breakfast for everyone, there's always bacon in abundance... and I watch those fat fucks lining up to weight their plates down with it. And I laugh to myself as I sit in a room of heart attacks waiting to happen (If you are not obese and eat bacon on a more sensible level, you're fine, have at it).

It's coffee, man.
You can't hate coffee.
Are you some kind of sociopath?
If not, then you don't hate coffee.

If you lost your friends over this, I would largely bet it's because you kept bringing it up like a broken record. That, or they're not very close to you as friends.

Also, you're wrong about the dopamine production. Coffee, through it's active ingredient caffeine, increases dopamine levels similarly to what you see in cocaine (source: http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/drugs-alcohol/caffeine4.htm). Also, if you use said argument and still drink soda (caffeinated), then you're pretty much a hypocrite.

So, if you spent more time researching your opinions instead of berating your friends about their lifestyle choices, maybe you wouldn't have such a rough go of things.
I do not enjoy any caffeinated drinks, including sodas that aren't caffeine free. And if you really new about how the brain works like they teach you in anatomy, then you would know that when any drug, caffeine, cocaine etc. increases the level of any neurotransmitter in the brain, your brain will temporarily stop natural production of that neurotransmitter, expecting more of the drug, creating addiction.

The following links include accurate, though simplified explanations of this:

I do know what I'm talking about, please don't insult my intelligence.

Welcome to the end of America entitled the loss of tolerance. I have seen this going on for ten plus years one side wants to pray in school (just an example), the other side says no you can not pray on public property, the praying side says 'what about the 1st amendment', the other side brings up separation of church and state. Now we have a pissing war.

I have seen it elsewhere, peoples traditions and customs trampled on just because 'its not how we do it in a modern society' or other half-hearted excuse to lessen someone else's belief and/or traditions.

I see it in racial 'debates' (that is the most kind word for what anyone else would call mutual cluster-f******). 'If you do not vote for President Obama then you are a racist.' Or, 'The blank man keeps the other blank man down'. Or whenever someone tells me to vote, act, or think a certain way or else they will call me a blankist.

I have never treated someone differently based on race or creed or religion. All are equal in my eyes. All are equally stupid.

I like you. You speak logically. Hate is, most definitely, not the word he should have used

All I'm saying is "GIVE LOVE A CHAAAAAAAANCE!"

No, your "friends" dumping you over this is stupid and pitiful.

I'm not sure if I'd call these people who gave you such a hard time about your opinion, "friends." Who cares what people like or dislike? I just think people have too much time on their hands to be honest to even think of these things. Are you telling me you would not eat this?




lol, talk about people having too much time on their hands..however, I love bacon, and would have a taste of this for sure!
OMG! I must tell my mum to make this for Christmas XD

You forgot about Twilight.

It's ok to hate that :)
You see, this is actually part of the problem. When it becomes ok to hate something like twilight, it becomes sick and fanatic-ish to like it. The door swings both ways.

Just to clarify: I have read all the books, not only were they blatantly plagerized from the club dead series, which I also read and the show true blood is based off of, but it is hopeless poo, and this shows in the fourth book when she attempted writing originality and it failed miserably, at least in my opinion, even worse than all the others combined.

I get abuse about my smoking.

Granted, I get that smoking isn't healthy, but I only smoke rarely, and I stay downwind of others. Yet thanks to government propaganda, smoking is equivalent to murder and now everyone has a free pass to abuse me. I've gotten comments like, "I'll laugh when you die of lung cancer" by people I don't even know.

Yeah? Wanna throw stones? Why can't anyone mind their own business?

And don't pull that secondhand smoke card out. I know all about that, and it's not applicable here. It's just you and the meme the media has planted in your head.

You're free to hate what the hell you like, even though I personally think 'hate' is a pretty strong word. I'll admit I use it often though, it's easier to type, and I can be lazy.

Anyway, I personally love bacon, but I won't scream at someone if they say they hate it. I will, however, be very annoyed if they try to tell me it's bad for me (which I don't care about) and keeps trying to drill it into my brain.

I'll agree on [disliking] Coffee. Can't stand the taste of it. The smell doesn't bother me.

And uh, you're "friends" aren't friends if they ditch you 'cause you don't like bacon.

Yes, I apologize for hating. But is not a misuse. It all began as hatred an polarized. Please refer to my edit on the original post.

How can you lose a friend over bacon? It's... it's bacon! It's a pretty tasty strip of meat and fat. Is it really the fact you don't like bacon they're annoyed over, or the fact you won't join in the joke?

I mean it's not like it was Marmite (All hail the Black Goo God).

Just for the comedy.


Anyhoo, if you don't like something you don't like it. It's not really a reason for people to spurn you. Although I will admit I have also on occasion stated my distaste of certain things which has then led me to be spurned and avoided, I think it's stupid. So i'm entitled to my own opinion but if it's not what you like then i'm all of a sudden the "bad guy"....please.

You see, it started out the same way for me. But saying dislike gained me just as much stigma as saying hate, and I began to dislike having conversations with people about bacon/coffee so much that it grew into what is definitely hate.
Then stop having conversations about it. OR, have it with people that aren't jack-asses.

Very few things cause me hate.

Hate takes up too much energy, though people who label bacon as disgusting are pushing it ;)

The problem is that you're informing them of it. Of course it's not wrong to hate something, but by informing, you're doing exactly the same as those people who worship said things.

Hate it, fine. Love it, fine. But unless it's relevant, or you're off on a rant to yourself, please shush about the stronger emotions. It's like seeing someone pick their nose in front of you.

Let me just higlight this:
Caravaggio said:
And coffee, not only does it stain your teeth, but it inhibits the production of dopamine in your brain. And that's important.
Dopamine has the effect of a raised heart rate and high blood pressure. It isn't the coffee itself inhibiting production anyway, it's the caffeine, found in many other sources too.

OT:
1) Yes, I have, but I try not to.
2) Many things, suck as insults, implications of sexual relations with their significant other(s), degradation of their personal beliefs, and repeated actions that result in unwanted contact to name a few. (Hint: Incurring wrath is a little too broad to encompass "irrational behaviour")
3) Yes, and in the context of your situation, yes, the idea that Halo is overrated seems to be a mortal sin with some people I know.
4) Yes, but you should "chill out" about this too. So they don't like that you don't like something. Big deal.
