Overheard Conversations that Anger You

[Terminate421]

1. Did you see X game on Espn last night?

 

[Terminate421]

Hmm, nothing very drastic but I can't stand kids that play COD4 or something and then automatically assume that that is the best game in the series just because they aren't aware of the first 3.

It happens with other things as well, I have a friend who is 13 and, granted he would have only been 3 or 4 at the time says he HATES old games like Ocarina of Time, this annoys me because having grown up during that era I have a huge amount of respect for games like that, in fact they were a massive part of my childhood.

It annoys me, because they don't seem to realise how the games they play today (CoD 4 etc.) came to be, or worse yet, they play the previous games and say that they're "shit" because you don't get perks and you can't sprint away as soon as you get hit, that's what really gets on my nerves, kids who claim that they know stuff about older games but really don't.

Its all about MW2

I over heard a couple 13 year olds talking about MW2 claiming "Its the best game ever made"
I asked what other games they played
They all said "Mario and uh....Need for speed"
I then asked what mario
"Super Smash brothers brawl, the old mario's are shit!"
I really just wanted to beat them with a pick axe right there

That's exactly the problem with kids nowadays, they won't even bat an eyelid at the old games because they're deemed 'shit', and Smash Bros. Brawl is NOT a Mario game, it really makes me wonder about the future of gamers when they aren't even willing to learn about where their beloved games that are out now came from, kids need to learn these things (in my opinion). That being said, I do know a 6 year old who my copy of Kirby's Dream Land on the Gameboy and found it good, so maybe there's some hope afterall.

i suggest you to read the Manual of Epictetus, it will help you reach a certain degree of Ataraxia. and not care at all about what others do.

And where would I locate this enlightening tome?

 

[DarkHourPrince]

I could go on and on about the things I heard in my college prep math class senior year of high school from the group of girls in the back who always had a Cosmopolitan magazine in hand -_-;;. Come to think of it, I heard alot of things in school I would have liked to put someone's head through a window for.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

No. I don't care what total strangers do in my vicinity as long as they don't try to involve me in their business.

 

[Housebroken Lunatic]

People being overtly rascist/sexist/homophobic and thinking its ok in todays modern society, it anoys the hell out of me, why cant everyone just live in harmony

How "harmonic" is it to be bothered by people ventilating overtly sexist/racist/homophobic comments?

As long as they don't do anything to ACT upon these comments aren't exactly doing anything wrong. For instance, why is it okay to be a capitalist or a communist, but not a racist?

What happened to the freedom of opinions?

Amazon.com or any other international library i guess

 

[HijiriOni]

I'm basically annoyed with children screaming, or parents yelling at their children especially when the child didn't do anything wrong.

Random group of teenage girls walking out of Inception -
"OMG that was soooo stupid! I like, couldn't understand any of it"

Fuck you, *****. Just because your little brain can't grasp something that has any more intellectual property than Twilight doesn't mean it sucks. You're just an idiot.

amen, man.
i hear this crap all the time too

as do I.

Whats worse is when you have to listen to a friend go on about that stupid movie all the time, saying its the new greatest movie of all time, that nothing ammounts to its greatness...

That is far worse, especially when they wouldn't watch Starship troopers (1st movie) because they say, why bother nothing can top how great inception is.

 

[James Stanbridge]

People who have terrible taste in movies.

 

[Au Naturel.]

3 guys at my former school -
"Last night was awesome, man. You should have been there. I trapped this rabbit and skinned it while it was still alive. It was sqweelin' and everything!"

I should do the same to you, you hick piece of shit. How could anyone possibly think that's fun?

Are you being serious? Ignorant people. I believe that everything no matter how big or small has a spirit, a consciousness, and every time I hear of a story like this I feel shocked at how some people can be so violent towards something else for no reason other then their own twisted desires, something as small as a rabbit no less. It's shameful that some people are so weak they need to reassure their power by such cruel means. Why can't people just respect life?

 

[EZmacilx]

I dunno, people who talk to eachother and treat everyone like theyre dumber than they are cause they sit on internet forums and talk about how they could kick the shit out of everyone who makes fun of them just because they learned a few fighting moves in tekken piss me off pretty bad, but thats just me.

Necro-quote, but I feel like I need to say this before I go to bed. Jewish isn't a race unless you come from Jerusalem. Is your friend from Jerusalem? If not, he's still a [insertcountryhere]ian like the rest of us. That's like saying Christian is a race. No it's not. It's a bloody religion.

Yeah... except that, by blood, I'm the race. Both my parents were Jewish, and their parents, and on and on. I'm Jewish in my blood, thus allowing me to be Jewish twice, though I've long since become an Athiest so I can't be Jewish twice anymore.

You from Jerusalem? No? Okay, you're American, or whatever you are still. Just because my parents are both Catholic, and my grandparents are, and so on, does not mean that I am Catholic in my blood. Hell, I'm Half-Christian at best. Religion is a choice, not a blood thing.

Unless you're in some sort of cult that does blood sacrifices..

I never said I wasn't American. I'm saying that I'm also Jewish, as in the race. You can't compare it to being Catholic because that isn't also a race. Judaism, being also-a-race, and the fact that my family has been Jewish for generations, both by blood and religion, means that I am also Jewish, as in the race.

Ah, so you have blood that was from Jerusalem. Congrats, you can call yourself a Jew in terms of race. I am talking about the people who call making fun of Jewish people [ Who are only a part of the religion ] Racist, when it is, in fact, prejudiced.

Judaism is both a religion and a race. Just because you're in one doesn't necesarily (sp?) mean you're in the other though.

Anyway...

Listening to friends-of-friends talking about the musical qualities of Paramore. They are not one of the greatest bands of all time, not by a long way.
