What makes you rage?

[Rawb0906]

People who blame the government for EVERYTHING!(Without actual justification) "I don't have a job IT'S THEIR FAULT" Well actually the fact that you have no qualifications is actually the reason, you had free education up to age 18 and you chose to waste it. "The system is corrupt, there's no point voting Blah blah blah"

People who listen to mainstream manufactured shit and then call me out on liking anything but.

People who tell me I have to support my horrific, ignorant, racist, scumbag family because I'm related to them. Why?

People who are overly patriotic. There's nothing wrong with supporting your country but people who blindly follow whatever it does and saying "How dare you insult my homeland" and go on a massive rant declaring how their bit of dirt is better than everyone else's bit of dirt because they were born there.

People who are religious that say I have no morals and that they'd "Pray for me" simply because I choose not to follow the teachings of a religion that has no definite proof that it's the "right one". I don't mind what you believe, whatever helps you sleep at night, I just think that it's wrong to try to convert and incite militancy against "the non-believers". I don't think it should have anything to do with the running of a country, I prefer a state founded on logical thinking rather than religious thinking.

The tabloid press.

Extremes of either end of the political spectrum.

People who wear Guevara shirts who have absolutely no idea who he was or what he actually did.

People who pretend to support a cause, such as helping soldier in Afghanistan, to seem caring when they're just fishing for Likes on their Facebook status.

People who abuse harmless animals.

All I got for the moment.

 

[Biodeamon]

Ignorance and apathy. I hate people who violently ignore the facts and don't care.

 

[Alexander]

People who admit to not knowing ANYTHING about a problem yet stating that they know best how to solve it. How does that even make sense to them?

 

[Adam Galli]

People who make stupid mistakes over and over and expect you to feel sory for them when they get screwed over like when my friend kept getting back with his lying, cheating ex wife and he expects me to feel sorry for him when she cheats on him again.

 

[MarkDavis94]

When people chew with their mouths open, smack/slap their lips and their food really does make me rage.
One time I went to the cinema and some guy who was sat near me was eating popcorn with his mouth open and making the disgusting horrible noises and I just walked out because it causes me so much stess I start getting pains in the stomach.

Grr its vile!

- "That's what she said." Of all the times I've heard it, it might've been funny twice. Usually it kills a conversation by giving those participating absolutely NOTHING to respond to. I feel the same way about the, "blah blah blah kitchen/sandwich" shit. If you don't have something intelligent (or at least original) to say, keep it to yourself and let the rest of us enjoy our conversation.

- People who try so damned hard to be different from everyone else just for the sake of being different. They don't understand that everyone IS unique, different, and has some pretty awesome attributes (just like everyone else). I believe people would be generally happier if they spent less time trying to impress others and more time finding and following their own paths.

- The "self-esteem" emphasis in schools. Quit coddling! If someone fails or sucks at something, they fail or suck at it. Not everyone is equal in all areas and if you teach kids that they *are* as good at everything as everyone else is, they're going to be sorely disappointed when they enter the real world and find out that some people actually are better at some things than they are. Emphasis should be placed on helping each student find and develop his or her own natural talents. This particular rage goes double for the "all kids get a trophy" sports stuff. You lost, learn to cope with that and do a better job next time. If you do, it will be SO much sweeter when you win!

- No Child Left Behind. Ugh. Teachers end up spending half the year or more teaching how to take one fucking test that will determine how well the school will be funded for the next year or several years, never getting to new material, then teachers the next year take out on students the fact that they don't know something that they, "should have learned last year!" It's a horrible situation for everyone involved.

- Busybodies. Tend your garden and leave others to tend their own.

- People who refuse to listen to factual evidence that is contrary to their personally held opinions. Especially if they dismiss it with, "scientists are just guessing" and "history is a bunch of lies". What makes you think you know more about *everything* under the sun than people who've spent years and more years learning and researching those things?

- Radicals of every persuasion.

- People who say, "If you don't love the US, go somewhere else!" Would that it were just as simple as that.

- Actually, expand that to, "People who oversimplify everything." Few things are ever as easy as they look from the outside, I have learned. There is a complex interrelationship of a bunch of niggling details in most decisions, etc., that people not intimately familiar with the situation just don't understand.

- People who think they have a right.. or, worse, a *responsibility* to tell others how to live their lives. Just because you feel it's right for you absolutely does not make it unequivocally "right". As long as someone isn't harming anyone else or infringing upon their basic human rights, why can't they do what makes them happy?

- People using BDSM references to show how edgy and awesome they are. Equally, those who vilify BDSM practitioners because they're "kinky".

- People who dog things they dislike (music, movies, TV, electronics and fashion choices come to mind) and those who like it. It's fine to not like it, it's fine to say you don't like it. It is NOT fine to be an asshole to those who DO like it. Everyone has their own taste in.. well, everything. It's what makes the world go 'round. How boring would life be if everyone liked the same everything?

- Those who think that money or possessions make them somehow better than those who don't have the same. As my mother said when I was growing up, "Money doesn't buy manners." I am lucky to have come to a place of relative affluence in my life and I am completely horrified by some of the attitudes displayed by those in similar or better financial circumstances than mine.

- People who use the, "S/he'll just use it to buy alcohol/drugs," excuse for not giving money to beggars. If you don't want to, don't. Don't pretend that you're somehow a better or more moral person than they are just because you have a warm bed to sleep in, though. A large number of homeless or otherwise destitute people I've had contact with weren't in that situation because they were lazy or stupid or otherwise incompetent. Sometimes things don't go the way you mean for them to and when your financial situation is already precarious, it only takes one more thing going wrong to put you out on the street. Once that happens, it's damned hard to get back on your feet. I know, I've been there.

Oh, I think I'll stop now. Basically, stupidity, intolerance and injustice piss me off.

Regardless of what you think mate, they weren't. Objective evil does not exist. Good and evil are completely subjective, they're terms and concepts invented by humans. It simply doesn't exist.

Differnce of how we were raised I guess. Round here, people belive that their is objective evil linked to the devil and his henchmen, and that while they rarely show hide or tail, if they do, you must stomp them out fast, lest we end up with another d--- massacure, another d--- genocide, another d--- tyrant. But then again, I guess believing in God and the Devil are subjective, so to believe in objective evil, you must believe in a subjective devil (this logic makes my head spin =S)

These are not your affairs to meddle in. What you (collectively) forever fail to grasp is the intense history between these groups. You cannot solve their problems. You can demonise the villain du jour and proclaim yourself as the savior, but you can't solve these problems. Why do you think Africa is in an eternal state of fucked? Or East Europe? It's because these groups have been feuding and fighting far longer than your country has existed. You cannot stop this bloodshed. If you "save" one group, give them strength, they will go on to subjugate the other. The cultures involved are beyond yours.

This will probably earn me some hate, but who gives a shit what happened to them in World War II? That doesn't mean you can just steal land from other people. It was an atrocity as an isolated incident, stealing land from their sworn enemies of thousands of years is not acceptable. Once again, America has no right meddling in this shit. The bad blood goes back so long, all you're doing is giving the advantage to one side yet proclaiming yourselves the heroes at the same time.

Israel exists because the Jewish lobby in America is exceedingly powerful. That's it. Israel continues to attack, deceive, discriminate and generally fuck up that entire area because America not only allows them to, but condones it.

Yeah, it would be collectively, because I like researching other cultures along with military history(my favs: 1)US, 2)Scotland, 3)Japan, 4) Germany, 5)UK. yes, they are all big military powers). But that may be my problem. I am looking at thing on a tactical level and saying "This is easy. Why havent we done it already?" Even stratigically I may have that problem. I dont really understand all the politics that go into it (athough, I have always believe politics should be left OUT of the warroom). So yeah, we cant end the violence. And the ways we could are impractical (redraw boarders, permanent military presence, et al).

I didn't think it was ashamed so much as "Jesus Christ I am so sick of hearing that". You know, like people who are named Luke get tired of being called "Luke Skywalker" by the time they hit kindergarten.

Why yes, that is very true. Just as much as it is when we are compared to Westboro, even though Kansans have collectively disowned them.

Well, the rest of the West, I guess. If you're going to make fun of rednecks and inbreds, you generally reference Alabama. At least that's how it is in Australia.

Oh, yeah, Alabama holds that, along with still being considered racist thanks to it being the biggest stopper of civil rights. But each state and region has its own stereotypes here. Since the list would be to long if I did all 50 states, I will just to a quick run up of the 5 major regions:

Southwest: Hotter than hell (literally) and a desert wasteland. The only signs of life are Phoenix and Albuquerque.
South: A bunch of racist, inbred rednecks with an unhealthy obsession with guns, american pride, NASCAR, and pretty much the general redneck stereotype (which would take a while to explain)
Northeast: Home of all the rich fat cats, weather they be congressmen, bankers, or the people of New York City.
Midwest: The last stronghold of the old guard. We are locked in time and unable to move and only care about ourselves due to extreme isolationism. We are known to have a mile-wide fighting streak and be stubborn as mules.
West Coast: The home of the "immoral" majority. These people are lazy, expect the government to do everything for them, are a bunch of pot-smoking hippies, who are obessed with protecting the enviroment to the point of being bad for the enviroment and everything else they have contact with. They have also lost all sense of value to family and marriage, which will eventually destroy them.

Not that we Kansans hate the West Coast...we just hate them slightly less than we hate Missouri.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

The last thing that really pissed me off was hearing Rick Santorum on the news. I loathe conservative politicians.

 

[Twilight.falls]

Alright, I apologize in advance for the mini rant about to ensue.

I can't stand it when people discriminate against others. Sex, race, sexual orientation, religion, nationality, what have you. For the record, I'm a male, Asian-American, straight, atheist.

What does it matter that other people have different levels of melanin in them? Or that they were born with different body parts, or that they prefer other people who have different/the same body parts? Does it matter they believe in some higher power, or that they reject the very idea? Does it matter what chunk of land they happened to be born on?

No.

None of that matters. Deep down, we're all human. We breathe the same air and bleed the same color. Are people really affected by who others fall in love with? Does the thought of someone believing in something you don't really make a big difference? I just cannot fathom why it matters. I have seen so many people berate others for being different. But who the HELL do they think they are to talk down to others? I do not believe in any higher powers, but I respect FULLY the people who do and their beliefs. The faithful should not go around condemning the atheists, but the atheists should not try to return the favor.

I may be straight, but gay people are people too, dammit. Just because they love people of the same sex doesn't make them any less than anybody else. They were BORN that way, they don't have any say in it. Likewise, gay people shouldn't hate straight people. Yes, I understand why this could seem justified, but does it really make anything better to reciprocate the hatred? "He who fights monsters," and all that.

The sexism issue is better, in general. But on the internet it's still irritating. I despise anytime a joke about sandwiches or the kitchen comes up. It's just annoying, and makes it look like we've taken a few steps backwards.

Lastly, the topic of where people are born. I've seen FAR too many people hate upon the English or the various people of the Middle East. I've seen people berate and bash the English, and many other Europeans, for a while. How the hell can you justify this? Americans and Europeans stood at each others' sides during the several wars we've had. Americans and Europeans have fought, bled, and died together. It does a great disservice to both Americans and Europeans any time the hatred comes forth.


We live in another time, a different time. We should be moving past such petty things like this. The sad thing is, as much as I detest this behavior, prejudice is just something humans do.

And that disappoints me.

 

[Bassik]

Those goddamn robots that answer the phone of about anything these days. I wish I knew who voiced the Dutch version (It's all the same voice) so I could destroy her and retake a sliver of my humanity.

 

[Fishehh]

I hate when people clear their throat if they don't need to.
Especially when it's loud and obnoxious.


The people in BG chat in WoW at anytime ("HOLD THESE BASES!" "We only have 2 we need 3 to out-cap the Horde." "oh ok well that's the rouges' job" *continues to fight uselessly between LM and Farm*)

People in 1v1 ladder in SCII (at about 10 mins I show up at their base with Mutas and 'Lings and proceed to harass their mineral lines. They call me a cheeser and rage at me.)

 

[Black Arrow Officer]

Vegans. Every single one I met makes me want to rip baby seals in half and devour their flesh in front of their eyes. Newsflash: those soybean plants you seem to revere as Gods? Want to guess how many insects were killed to keep your precious dietary stand-in from killing you with a single bite? Oh wait, that doesn't matter because they're just insects, aren't they? What about all of the field mice and rabbits killed to plow the field? That doesn't matter because they were indirectly killed?

I tried a Vegan diet for a year and I never felt worse. Other vegans told me I wasn't "doing" my diet right and recommended tons of supplements and stand-ins. Yeah... what diet is more sustainable and better for the environment? A meat eating diet that is completely sustainable, convienient and healthy or a vegan diet that relies on supplements and powders and still makes you feel like crap?

 

[Hannahderp]

Pretty much everyone makes me rage. The amount of ignorant twats there are in this world, we're getting stupider by the minute.

 

[CruisingForBiddies]

Racists, sexists, elitists (looking at you Escapist) and people who are jerks in general.
And those lollipops you just can't get the wrapper off... Makes me want to cry.

 

[malkavianmadman]

My levels in barbarian.

On a serious note people who comment on things I personally like without knowing the first damn thing about it.
