In all likelihood that's probably the reason they're internet eugenicists.

That occurred to me as well. Adolf Hitler was a short, scrawny and faintly ridiculous man, now that I think of it.

Making sex seem like it's the OMG BEST THING IN THE WORLD and that having it is the GREATEST accomplishment you can ever achieve in life and if you haven't had it then your life MUST be TERRIBLE, EMPTY and SHALLOW! Ugh...
Or GAY and even SELFISH as I was called for not being engaged.

Same as having to live up to the current fashion trend to please all the obnoxious experts.

And especially generalising and making assumptions about the people you disagree with.

Edit: Almost forgot one. Fucking reboots and remakes of classic shows and movies, and making them darker while forgetting the most important parts that made it a classic in the first place.

The most upsetting trend is the continued breathing of Simon Cowell. I call for the nations of world to gather together to end this evil.

Regenerating hea- Oh. This is a serious thread. Hmm... affirmative action?
I've got to agree with this one. All it does is lower quality in workplaces and that sort of thing. I know a woman who works in the office of a college, and she told me that they have different entrance standards for different races and genders (i.e. certain races have to score higher than others in order to qualify for enrollment in the college). Speaking as a female, if I apply to a company, say, and the company has all male employees, and I have one rival for the one open position, if he gets the position because he had better credentials than me I'm not going to whine about sexism.

Also, the way that public schools here in America are going. When I was a junior in high school, the valedictorian that year had a 2.3 GPA out of a 4.0. 2.3. Really? It was a -charter school-, it wasn't exactly the hardest program in the world.

The constant need for political correctness really grates on me from time to time. It seems to me some people want to be offended so others will support them.

Another thing is the way people dress and maintain their appearance. There's nothing wrong with keeping your looks clean. There's a bit of a problem when some guys think a guy is weird for not trimming his pubic hair (Fortunately, I only spoke with them once). And ladies, I understand your desire to look feminine, but there are better ways than wearing belts as underwear and tank tops. And if you must dress like that, for goodness sake, don't whinge it's cold.

Also no one have any self responsibility. Blame the teachers! Blame The video games and TV! My fault for my kid is acting stupid? No! This what bothers me.
This. Everyone is a victim these days. It is so pathetic to look at some of the things people whine about. If you went back to the 30s you would be laughed out of society for this crap. Back then you took care of your god d$%@ self, no matter what. Men killed themselves during the great depression because they lost their jobs through no fault of their own. They felt that they had personally failed their families and could not live with themselves. Our generation is full of babies.

Oh and yeah the 2012 thing is total western apocalypse hype. This pretty much sums it up:
"It's the time when the largest grand cycle in the Mayan calendar?1,872,000 days or 5,125.37 years?overturns and a new cycle begins."

Because someone probably read "old cycle ends" as "everything freaking dies forever!" without finishing the paragraph...

People in neighbouring apartments singing really loudly at night. I started reading this thread and now some woman next door won't shut up and I can't concentrate.

Weeeelllll...

There's Political correctness, anime nerds stealing the title of nerd away from true computer and vg nerds, new R&B, emo rock, new rap, rap as a lifestyle with cars and clothes, tween culture, MMA replacing Boxing. Oh and Dubstep.
What's wrong with a new genre of music? I mean, I can get the hate against the "WOB BRO"-thing, but dubstep in istelf isn't wrong.
I agree with the annoyance against the rest of those things, though.

MLP: Look ill say the same thing i say about twilight, by itself its a alright show and interesting book. But the Fans just seem to ruin it [well most Fans]

Music as of late: alot of the new music seem to be pretty bad but some of there songs is alright but i prefer older songs.

Protect the Stupid: i don't see why i should feel sorry for someone's death in regards to them not lacking common sense. Why is it the governments fault that X happened? when you kid Y and died.

Kids in Highschool with Pre school bags: srsly WTF is that about.

The VICE ad thats on the escapist: if you have seen it you would know why.

Txt Messages: IZZ NOT A SEN10ce NO 1 Taks lik theas'

Skyrim [or any game that isn't out yet] sucks: How do you know its bad when you haven't played it yet? and it's usually responded with 'BECAUSE BETHSEDA DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME/or the fans'

Youtube Comments: FIRST!!!!!!

Duke Nukem: Yes it was bad get over it oh yes some people did enjoy the game. but don't say 'we played it wrong'.

The Cake is a Lie: its not funny any more Shut up

the Pussification Ray: i hate it when i listen to music on utube [cuz im cheap] and there are people like crying and writing stuff like 'oh i love you why did you leave me' or 'WHY MARTHA WHY'. you can almost picture there tears. sounds alright cept i was on 'My Curse' by Killswitch Engaged and 'Number of the Beast'

If I had to pick one it the beliver in what ever faith vs the Athist. WHo gives a crap what someone else belives it effect you in no way and unless they try to shove it down your through leave them alone about it. We don't need to insult or belittle someone just becuase they see the world in a diffrent light.

In the end no matter what happend in the end these fight don't do anything but waist time and spread hate.

Political correctness.

The media's grip on everyone can be so easily manipulated.

This culture we live in where people don't want to be held accountable.

Some bimbo spills a coffee on herself, she sues McDonalds.
Things that annoy me: Sexist insults towards people. Also people complaining about things without applying any critical thought/research into the issue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants

One article, nice and short, give it a skim. The coffee caused her severe burns over her crotch. Yes, people expect coffee to be hot. They don't expect it to fuse their flesh together

Headscarves and the Muslim culture in general (atleast in my country).

I know this probably makes me a racist, but I have a great dislike towards it which has nothing to do with "terrorist scaremongering".

I agree entirely on the issue of 'thinking well of the dead'. Once you die, the respect you get from me is what you earned in life. Bastard then, bastard forever more.

I LOATHE the dependence people have developed on the safety screen of internet communication. Submissive, meek cowardice hiding behind a screen rather than actually going out into the world and doing something interesting. Playing out fetishes and fads rather than actually enjoying other people and active experience.. Ugh...

Vapid uninteresting people depending on popular trends to find commonality and social contact.

The ludicrous double-standards cultures STILL cling to in the twenty-first century...

*shrugs* I'll leave it at that.

People claiming the world is falling apart in some way or other when it's slowly getting better and better. There are isolated issues which deserve attention, but as a whole the human race is doing fine. Really.

Additionally: People who believe what they see/read daily on TV and online is an accurate representation of the world, especially when what they only ever seek out those things which support their skewed worldviews.
Yes, oh my god yes. It especially irks me when I see the inevitable "I've lost all faith in humanity" or "when did you lose your faith in humanity" bullshit forum topics that people create over one stupid thing that someone did half a world away. Really, you're going to "lose all faith" in people just because of someone stupid? Toooooon of maturity on display right there.

World hunger. Shouldn't we have fixed this by now? I mean by 2015 we're supposed to have flying cars and all that jazz so we should at least make sure people are eating...
Would you call it a trend, though? Less and less people are starving every year (though the rich do get richer and the poor do get poorer).

The fact EVERY. FUCKING. SERIES is getting a reboot now to be 'darker and edgier'. Ok, yes, some series require reboots and some of them are pretty good BUT, we don't need every fucking series in the whole world to be rebooted simultaneously. Seriously, just give it a break already...
Have you seen the one where Joey kills everybody?
1. Who's Joey?

2. What is he from?

3. Why..does he kill everyone?

The growing trend of my friends starting to request I return the games I borrowed of them. Dammit, I hoped they'd forget and that I could keep them.
