"Whatever [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz7_3n7xyDg]".
When used dismissively this word unleashes the rage.

I never said people couldn't do what they want, just that that phrase annoys me to no end, and people who use it are not people I want to be around or to interact with in any capacity.him over there said:...And you're upset about other's hedonistic apathy? I mean they can do what they want. If they want to chill out and block out all the bad stuff not immediate to them go ahead. Not hurting not helping.Austin Merida said:"end of".
Even if I agree with the person saying this, it gives me the urge to immediately change my views.
close second is "I hate politics". One may as well say "I do not care about, or am too stupid or lazy to understand, any problem anyone on the planet is having, nor do I care about social causes, society, morals, ethics, or philosophy. I am perfectly content living in my own little routine, and do not desire to learn about anything or try to understand the world or people in general."
And so when two people who refuse to budge from opposite sides of argument youre supposed to say what?Snfinity said:Holy hell, I didn't expect to see annoying phrases used - in context - in a thread about annoying phrases.Mr_Spanky said:Fair enough - agree to disagree I suppose.
My own personal peeves are "agree to disagree", "everyone has/I have a right to their/my opinion" (to quote George Carlin, "...my opinion is that you have no right to your opinion!"), and any time anyone asks me to respect them. No, I will not "agree to abide by" you. Nor will I have respect for you (which I'm sure is what you meant).
Ahem.
Not really comparing like with like here are we? But whatever im not gonna get in another argument for THAT.Jjtricky said:You say "don't start calling people names" yet you have called him...
Mr_Spanky said:that makes you (imo) only slightly behind in evil the person who commits the crime.
I agree 100% percent for more than one reason. I'd say mine would have to be, "You're so stupid, you can't do shit" which is what my brother tell me, or What my parents always say "I birth you, i'm going to have you do it."Montezuma said:"Would You Kindly..."
This comes to mind.
I just tend to respond with "I won't pray for you."Rastelin said:"I will pray for you" is the religious equivalent of "fuck you". They often use this phrase when loosing an argument.
Are you serious? Take a step back and really look at what you are arguing for.Mr_Spanky said:SNip
In cases of sexual assualt the legal system fails as there is usually far too little material evidence and a great many ways for the defence to claim "sex yes but rape no". As I said I have no issue in general with the "innocent until proven guilty" philosphy but with sex crimes it is insufficient to provide a satisfactory system to convict the guilty and protect the innocent.
This is why I consider trivialsing rape in the manner that you seem to think appropriate is so damaging. I dont have a problem with people joking about murder because people who commit such crimes are brought to justice in about 90%-95% of cases. In cases of rape justice is the rare rather than the common - and society by and large does not recognise this fact. For exactly what reasons I am not going to specualte upon here.
Suffice to say for myself, having never been a victim of rape but understanding it from the perspective of some who have, I would deem humour around sex crimes to be not just trivialising, but damaging to the chances of victims to recieve any kind of justice. It is also for this reason I would give anyone who is found to be fabricating a charge of rape to get a sentence in line with a rapist.
If justice is not seen to be done then justice ceases to deter those who would succumb to its temptations.
