Things a single person managed to ruin for everyone

In a related tangent. I hate whoever created Internet forums because it allowed isolated pockets of fanboys to congregate in places outside of conventions. Their presence on the internet makes it hard for people to hate things.Trivun said:
Now back on topic, I hate Joss Whedon for starting the popularity of modern day Vampires. Because of his creation, Buffy, things like Twilight, the Vampire Diaries, and the other derivative works, are mainstream.
As to the whedonites out there: Deal with it Whedonites. He started the ball rolling by making Vampires commercially successful.
No, really, gun controls weren't as strict in Britain before that nutcase went on a rampage. Now you can't say the word 'gun' without getting a dodgey look. Let's not get into the pros and cons of Americas guns policy vs Britains though, because we'll be here all night.Woodsey said:
Yes. Two authors managed to ruin over 2000 years of literature.whiskey rock n said:
I'm astounded by the intelligence of your statements. Now I'm going to go over here and bang my head against a wall.
I almost want to like Twilight just to annoy you persistent wankers. Almost.

Can people please not complain about me hating people who hate Twilight? I don't hate those people if they actually read the books or saw the films. Those people have the right to criticise it. I don't mind them. It's when people post because it's 'cool' to hate Twilight and haven't actually read the books or seen the films. I like Twilight. That's true. But I know that it's badly written and I hate Edward Cullen with a passion, the only characters I really like more than a passing thing are Alice and Jasper, and Jacob to a slight extent. That doesn't stop me liking it. And I'm definitely not a Twilight fanboy. I'll defend anything that people hate because it's popular, not just Twilight. And for the record, yes, I did like Dracula. But people also say that Twilight 'ruined' vampires. It didn't. It simply looked at them from a different perspective, which even Dracula did, since Dracula was by no means original, but rather stole a lot of story and vampire features from various legends and myths, plus the life story of Vlad Tepes.malestrithe said:

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with Scotland being independent. That's fine. If Scotland don't want to be part of the UK any more then fine, as far as I can tell they never wanted to be part of the UK in the first place and they've fought in various ways for independence for 400 years. What gets me annoyed is that Gordon Brown piles millions, billions even, of pounds of taxpayers money into the Scottish economy, leading to deficits for English and Welsh projects. If Scotland want to be independent so much then why can't Brown simply let it happen and make Scotland a new country seperate to the rest of the UK. And then they can sustain themselves from their own taxes, recieving only small subsidies for a time from us while they set things up and then leave them to sustain themselves like any other country.secretsantaone said:
Brown is incompetent. There's no denying that. I vote Conservative, but even then I don't agree with all of the Tory policies and see that although things are moving forward there is still a degree of upper-clss elitism among the Tories. I vote for them because they're the lesser of two evils. Lib Dems would be a waste of a vote, I'll commit suicide before I ever vote for the BNP, I agree with the UKIP on their policies but they don't have a realistic chance of gaining a majority in the next few years, and any other party save for Labour would be a waste of a vote. So Conservative it is. But Brown is not a good leader. We may have seen worse, but he just isn't doing a good job in general, and the massive no confidence crisis a couple of years ago just confirmend this. And we didn't elect him either, which makes it even worse. When Blair stepped down a General Election should have been called straight away so the public could decide who they wanted to take power. Brown was a great Chancellor, but when he became PM things went downhill. Granted much of that was due to Blair, and Brown had to do the best he could in a bad situation, but he failed, and since then things have only gotten worse.
P.S. Sorry for the huge Wall'O'Text, but there was a lot I wanted to get into my post, not to mention the quotes.
IMDB boards (assuming ever poster is one person...) for not only spoiling the end of every film ever but also just being so darn disparaging about everything.
My friend Steve for showing me videos of animals being grinded up and whilst not destroying my love of meat making me feel dirty for eating it as well as countless other horrifying images he has shown me that have probably ruined my life.
Steve has also ruined the English language for me, I can't type or write anything without being paranoid about the spelling, grammar, punctuation or pronunciation.
To be honest Steve hasn't been a great influence on my life, he even ruined the ending to GTA4 for me.
My friend Carol for ruining my image of lesbianism.

No worries. Buffy ruined vampires for me before Twilight anyway.Trivun said:
