[Nieroshai]

Racists.

Homophobes.

Christians.

I bet to you those mean the same thing. I hate bigotry in general. Especially antii-religious bigotry. I don't say the beliefs of others make them terrible people, and hate when others decide that because I'm not like them I'm trash. Modern Christian =/= Medieval Catholic. Modern Christian ALSO does not equal http://www.godhatesfags.com/ despite what's spoon-fed to you on a daily basis. These people are bigoted freaks that use God as justification for their hate, which is not in our tenets.

 

[Blatherscythe]

Religious fanatics, go start wars over thousand year old books, control peoples lives, preach ignorance/stupid bullshit and blow yourselves up somewhere else!

 

[EeveeElectro]

I'd be here ll day if I listed all of it.
Smug and gloating twats, chavs in general especially on public transport, kissing/eating noisily, people forcing their opinion or religion down my throat, people who seem to think their opinion is right and CAPRICORNS

Charlie Brooker fan?

You win 5000 Internets!
I didn't think anyone would get the reference to be honest. I don't know many Charlie Brooker fans, but his material is relevant to the interests of Escapists.

I know that this is just a hate thread, but i try my best to get on with all types of people. I understand that it is not particularly interesting to not having a hate list. I will also truthfully stand and say that even though i try, i do not succeed at this every time.

What i will say however, is that regardless of how annoying we perceive people are, we would be the absolute fool to think that we are somehow any better than them. Every person has annoying habits, no one is exempt from that rule.

So in my opinion i would rather spend my life not dealing with every annoying habit that a person has, than wasting my life complaining about every single annoying habit. After all, i am the only person in the end, who who can make my life worth living. We are all responsible for how we behave. No external influence can affect us without our prior consent.

Very true, I don't think I'm bothered by most of the things that others seem to be. Or, at least I try not to be.

 

[Lieju]

People who bother me when I don't want to be bothered. Like people who talk during the movies. I paid to see the movie, not hear you jabber. Or people who smell, or kick you seat on a bus.
Or yell at you on the street for being a gypsie.

But my biggest problem is with people who are promoting pseudo-science, since I like science and hate ignorance and lying.

 

[Ruffythepirate]

Hate is such a strong word. I don't think I really hate anyone right now.

Everyone and everything in this thread. Most minorities, too. I can deal with Italian and Latino women of agreeable proportions, that's about it, everyone else is awful.

 

[Trivun]

I believe firmly in that special level of hell. You know, the one reserved for child molesters and people who talk in the theatre.

And that should tell you what I hate the most. People who talk during a play or a film get on my nerves so much. It's the reason I tend to only ever go to the late night showings of films, when there's barely anyone in the cinema, and thus less chance of people talking (not to mention a much better atmosphere allowing me to get much more absorbed in the film...).

How could the religion of Christianity and homophobia not be the same thing (one way around)? Have you seen the Book of Romans, to say nothing of the Old Testament insofar as it is still canonic? It's hardly acceptance of sexual diversity that flow from a linguistically correct interpretation of those authoritative scriptures on what "Christianity" is (and given that it's a book with norms written down in the dated cultural environment of the ancient Middle East, I'm not really surprised)

Of course some moderate "Christians" exist, and by a sociological use of the term might count as such. In the religious sense, however, they are hardly Christian; moderates in an absolutist system of shared dogma on beliefs is of course conceptually impossible.

Aside from that, religion always was especially easy to misuse to do (even greater) harm, due to it's ancient and absolutist wordings; a problem in and of itself with it. If you open a chain saw shop in the middle of a desert drug war, then the specified purpose might well be to sell chain saws for gardening. When it turns out that your chain saws are predominantly used to cut people up, then the ethical things might well be to close up shop even if it's not your fault how customers use your products, ne?.

 

[garfoldsomeoneelse]

People that aggravate my misophonia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misophonia]. If you're not familiar with what I mean, I'm talking about people that smack gum, eat chips in public places, pick their nails, and the like. I guess it's less of a personality type than it is an irritating action, but still, I deeply resent people for doing it.

As far as actual types of people, I'd have to say people who are willfully ignorant. I'm okay with stupid people, superstitious people, insufferable smart people, religious people*, and so on, but I feel nothing but contempt towards people that deny facts for the sake of their comfort.

[sub]*Provided they choose to let their religion fill in the blanks for what we cannot yet know, rather than letting it override provable fact.[/sub]

I can't stand homophones. Y'know. Those people what sound like other ones.

Also them what have somehow been granted a license to drive (or haven't, but go out anyway) despite obviously not really giving a crap about what they do on the road and how it affects others, or having any inkling that their actions affect that of their vehicle and the other ones around them. Ditto people who walk around in some kind of strange daze in busy areas, also causing disruption.

Useless insurance drones, right now. They need a f***ing kicking.

People who want a bit of help or reassurance with a piece of technology or a task using such, and think that acting really dumb and overly ingratiating will somehow oil the wheels and get them "in". No, it's my job to help, just tell me what the problem is and I'm compelled by my job description to do something about it. Also stop trying to make like it's all really complicated, you're too dumb/non-techie minded to understand it, and you'll never be able to do it on your own. Bullsh*t. I can guarantee that most of the things I "have" to help people with are more or less the simplest thing they'll do all day, short of possibly pushing a doorbell. There's a button to turn a thing on. A clicky knob to adjust volume on a speaker. A keyboard to log in and a mouse to hit icons, but if you can't operate those you've got no business trying to teach a class using powerpoint, and most of the issues are "upstream" of that. IE getting the blessed thing turned on. Or off. Or putting a USB drive in the socket the right freakin' way up so it doesn't break the port, crash windows and short out the device. Honestly. Not difficult. If you take a second or six to take a break from the endless cycle of thinking "it uses microchips, therefore it can't possibly be simple enough for a dunce like me to understand", you may find that the microchips are utilised to *MAKE* it simple, and someone with a mere shred of your intellect could manage it. These things are used in primary schools, with kids who don't know Rule One about anything at all. They have no problem with it - because they don't have that bizarre entrenched thought pattern that Electronics Are Teh Hardz, and can be more easily taught that "press this, it turns on" and accept it as A Fact Of Life.
NNNNGH!

(though despite that, I reserve a place in the Special Hell for people who think that turning off equipment/lights/heaters/AC units, closing windows/doors, etc are tasks performed by little pixies, or possibly an energy-saving butler who comes around and does all the hard work of flicking the switch on the wall by the exit door. We're supposedly a certified eco-friendly institute... all the hard work is presumably done by a tiny handful of people, muggins included)

... use statistics to back up their statements. Unless you've polled the entirety of whatever subject you're viewing, statistics are not fact only a guideline. Nature defies statistics on a daily basis. Also most statistics are made up or skewed in favor of said statement/argument.

... whine incessantly about their lack of skill with the opposite sex. This is exactly the reason you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Get some self-confidence.

... cry about the shit sandwich life has handed them but never do anything about it. Everyone gets a raw deal at some point, everyone goes through their own personal hell. Its not what has happened to you that matters but HOW YOU HANDLE IT, and crying like a ***** doesn't make you respectable.

... tout PC gaming as the end all be all when its actually much more expensive than owning a console. You don't have to upgrade your console with parts that cost almost as much as a console itself (video cards) every 6-8 months to play new games. Kinect and Move do not count because they're not essential.

... who don't understand how economics and inflation works.

... who think socialism will help everyone out in the end and that utopias are actually possible in this world of human greed. See Soviet Russia and how it "helped" its people.

***Edit: oh yeah and Christians who apparently don't read their book. Here's a fun fact using logic: Jesus more than likely wouldn't have a problem with gay people. He was already hanging out with whores and lepers (both people shunned by the Jews because y'know at the time there weren't any Christians) and other religious outcasts so why would gays be any different? Jesus' message was pretty obvious and plain, chill out and be nice to each other and God forgives you for the dumb shit you do and also don't judge others because they're just as screwed up as you are. Figure it out, priests/pastors/deacons/parishoners/athiests/monotheists/polytheists/etc. they're all exactly the same in the eyes of God (according to the bible) because they're all human and fallible. Thus no matter what you do, you're no more a good person than the guy next to you or the crackhead down the street and you shouldn't judge anyone because you yourself have skeletons in your closet. Enjoy.

In the defense of statistics; nature doesn't defy statistics. Statistical mechanics is a perfectly fine physical theory, tested and proven to be correct. So if they pull out statistical mechanics to back up their theory, it's usually pretty solid (unless they messed up the math).

But yeah, if they're pulling out surveys, then it's a guideline at best.

People who think pretty much every word in anime subtitles and manga should remain in Japanese because it's more "authentic" that way. What they really mean is "exotic"; they don't want a smooth translation that sounds as natural to the English-speaking reader/viewer as the Japanese original sounded to the Japanese reader/viewer, they just want it to feel strange and foreign. Which was of course not how it felt to the original Japanese audience, nor was it the intention of the creator that it should sound like that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Japanese is not a sacred language. Not even the word "I" can be directly translated from Japanese. The job of the translator isn't to give a word-for-word translation of the original Japanese. It's to ask herself "If this person had been speaking English and wanted to express this in English, what words would s/he have used?" An English-language manga translation isn't meant to be a langauge course. Seriously, I'm getting so fed up with lazy translators who understand Japanese but are absolutely useless in anything related to speaking English. Yes, suffixes do sound appropriately foreign, but not using them in an English translation is okay since the English language doesn't have any words like that. When you speak English, whether you're polite or not isn't decided by if you use suffixes like -san or -sama. After all, the reason we Englishn speakers don't use suffixes isn't a lack of manners, it's the fact that our language don't have those words. What the translator needs to do is to find English equivalents. Very often, Nakamura-san can be changed to Mr. Nakamura, and Hideyoshi-dono translates into great lord Hideyoshi. Sempai can be translated into "senior". And all those -kun things people use in school? They're formalities nobody really thinks about when using them. Skipping them when you're speaking Japanese is impolite, skipping them when you're speaking English just means you're speaking English. The worst offender was the English-language translation of Pandora Hearts, who used the suffixes even though it was clear that the manga took place in a vaguely English fantasy world. That's right, the translator used suffixes to make sure that the English fantasy world felt Japanese. Even though the clear purpose of the mangaka was that it shouldn't feel Japanese.
