Title: Pet Peeves
Post by: Turambar on April 20, 2004, 04:31:14 pm
Pet Peeves are little things that annoy you for no apparent reason (in case you don't know the terminology)

My pet peeves are:

Coldplay, Dave Matthews, and the fact that people like their music

Anal Sex porn (I just don't like it!)

Low Bitrate Music Files



What are yours?

Hmmm...

When my kitty begins to try to peel off the wood from my doors.

Being startled (like when my girl sneaks up behind me in the dark when I'm playing Deus Ex).

someone blowing their nose at the table when I'm eating there.

I hate being touched (especially the face) by people, other than my girlfriend.

There are others, but that's most of them.

When my ferret tips over my glass of water when I forget it on my desk. ( I alwats fear he's going to tip the water into my computer and electrocute himself)

Activists (And I mean all of them)

I have a long list perfectly rational hatreds so although several peoplel are mentioning theirs I won't. I'm going to stick to the irrational ones :)

- Women who complain about leaving the toilet seat up (especially as I tend to leave the lid down).

- People who complain about me being untidy and yet put CDs in the wrong cases.

- opening a folder on someones computer to find an unorganised mess of files.

- My Adam's apple - It's no different from anyone elses but I dislike touching it or having anyone else touch it (which makes shaving a pain).

- The charecter of Bane from the Weis and Hickman Deathgate Cycle books - For some reason I couldn't read past the first book because I loathed the character and kept wishing he'd die. To this day I have no explaination for why.

- people who say "It's just a movie" when you point out an enormous plot hole.

- people who join the 8 items or less line with 14 items. - Shooting is too good for them.

I have one major pet peeve in this world:

Dude, nothing is wrong with them, they are the most free people because they aren't trapped by the conformist capitalist music and clothes of the "popular" folk.  And once you get to know them, there isn't anything wrong with them, excpet that a couple of them smell funny and they tend to be nicer than normal people

Another thing that pisses me off:

Modern Punk music and Emo- what was once the epitome of non-conformistness has become "popular" which is self contradictory.  That, and It's starting to sound really bad

Yeah Shinedown! Keep the Rock ALIVE!!!

Post by: Rictor on April 20, 2004, 09:22:24 pm
True dat Turambar. I have nothing against goths and punks, they're usually really nice people. They are as a whole more aware of the world around them and (in theory) reject to some degree the materialist corporate culture. Generally, they're way more tolerant and open-minded than "normal folk".

I also agree with the Emo crap thats being put out. However, I'm not a expert on punk music or punk history, all it is is my prefered type of music, so I don't really think I have the right to go around yelling at the kids with the skateboards how they're sellout little posers. The bands that I like would generaly be consdered mainstream, probably cause music is just a casual thing with me.

Most of those conformist wannabes have never heard of the Ramones! Ever!!

There actually was a confrontation when one of my friends asked someone who was wearing the shirt if they liked the Ramones, and the person wearing the shirt just stared blankly and got really embarrased

-Honda Elements

-Trying to open a yogurt and it breaks down the middle, so to get the rest of the top off you have to get your fingers yogurt-y

-People who believe that the world is perfect, except for their sad pathetic life that isn't fair, and they hate it, and they want to talk about nothing else with me other than that. Other people have problems too, you know

-Talking during a perfectly good movie, especially about something that couldn't possibly pertain to something farther than what the movie is about

-The movie Armegeddon

-Ash Ketchum from Pokemon

-Friday night television, especially when it's good, because no one actually has time to watch Friday night t.v., and so a great show'll get cancelled for it.

Yeah ok, I guess I'm done.... now I'm in kinda a 'grrrr' mood.

ho ho, and ha ha, it is to laugh.

my reason is that they just seem to give an invalid reason to things without explaining it, or, if they have no skills to draw at all themselves.

(e.g, they make a stickman look like crap)

like they say "i don't like the head"  and that's just about it.

It's an attitude thing. In the street laughing has only occurred for me when this goth guy looked at me, and then did that whole "What the hell you looking at" thing. Hard to explain.

I am not gay, please make no mistake about that, nor am I macho. Just worn thin; I have been crapped on by women since I was a child. Every woman I have ever really cared for has always managed to reject my kindness and my tenderness, and instead of seeing for what it is, this is a recent example, call me a ****ing pussy because of it. It is too the point that I am beginning not to care. It sometimes seems to me that women want assholes, meaning that they want men that treat them ****ing *****, and nothing else. Then 20 years from know they want to know WTF happened to all the nice guys. Here is a thought, YOU TURNED THEM GAY. I mean I just have gotten to the point that I just don't want to open my self up. These are the reasons that I am fed up with women. At this point Tiara, I feel it necessary to say that I am not a screwy serial rapist or something horrible like that, and I will never take that path for certain.
In the end it could be chalked up to differences between men and women and the conflict that then arises. But, I am unsure. I am not meaning to pick a fight, but this is my experience of women being self-centered, blind, ignorant, stupid, overtly unsensative (about others at the time when they ought to), incredibly judgemental, and not willing to change her self, but more that willing to tell others what they should change. These have been my experiences. Tiara, I am sorry, I am more or less the person the doesn't start fights, but I finish them. I think all this makes things a little bit too clear.

And women get involved in these men why? Maybe to the same extent I am guilty of not looking in the right places. But I am tired of taking the grief. Maybe the answer is to just let go. Stop trying. Like jumping off a diving board, you just do it. I do think my feelings are far from racism. However, I am forced to admit that they are at their core dangerous.

Ok, They are most free because of what they listen to and what they wear?

Yet all punks wear the same thing, wear the same hair and listen to the same music, just like the rappers, and the country boys, and the metal heads.

So i dont see how more free punks and goths are compared to anyone else. Punks and Goths follow the trend like pop lovers do, only difference is the clothes they wear, and the attitudes, and the music.

They are all still just followers and the only original people out there are those that DONT GO WITH THE TRENDS OF THOUSANDS OR EVEN HUNDREDS OF OTHERS!

So you want to be original and different and free? Dont follow everyone else.

Another pet peeve i have: People claiming their follower group is better then another follower group. Whats a follower group? A group of people who all do the same things together in the name of something.

So you got goths and punks, metal heads, pop lovers, country bumpkins and more. I hate it when one says the other is better, cause they all suck./

You know what your problem is? You need to treat women mean sometimes to keep them keen. I'm a nice guy and I do treat women with respect, never hit a woman, never will (unless it's some twenty stone heifer that could obviously hold her own, or i'm hit first and unprovoked) but you can't be a doormat (not saying you are but a lot of "nice guys" are just completely pussy whipped poor excuses for men) because women don't want that, sometimes you just gotta be a bastard and duke it out because that always seems to work.

Obviously if this offends then it's because it's true. ;)

Thats the thing. treat others as you your self wish to be treated, but don't treat other the same way they treat you. That is what I have always believed. I finally told my friend danyil off one day for being a ***** and she was like guess you were not as much of a pussy afterall. Just what the heck.

I treat people I like the way I'd like to be treated, people I don't know I'm cautious about and people I don't like can go **** themselves for all I care. More than anything it's about having a spine, something I never used to have and the day I realised that I wasn't going to take the **** that I used to take was the day my life turned around. I'm not saying go out and beat the **** outta the next woman you see though. :)

A non-commercial movie is the rare kind that comes along that tries to push the boundries of story-telling, film production and so on. Amelie, Donnie Darko, 28 Days and possibly The Matrix (the first one) would fill the criteria for being non-commercialised films.

I agree with that. Nothing wrong with a little brainless excitement now and then as long as there is something else to see from time to time.

Hmmmm. Some more additons to the list.

- People who complain that they don't like science fiction because it isn't realistic yet watch soaps where people return from the dead after 15 years.

- People who think history is boring. History lessons may be boring but if you're bored by history itself I do have to wonder what at all you'd find interesting.

- Chris Evans still being married to Billie Piper. Not that I've got a problem with the marriage itself but every single person in the entire country predicted that it wouldn't last this long and now we all look stupid.  

- For that matter Chris Evans.

Well some teachers can make the subject come alive and interest their pupil. Others mearly make boring, uninspiring lesson plans and follow them to the hilt even though they can see that the class is falling asleep. Guess which ones I had :)

Doesn't help that my main field of interest is ancient and medieval history. While I occasionally find more modern stuff interesting I tend to prefer stuff about Alexander the Great or Hannibal to WWII.

Even the cold war isn't boring. You've just had the misfortune to read an uninteresting book on the subject

There are tons of interesting things about the cold war. It's pretty much the basis for every spy thriller written in the last 30 years. The real life stories are just as interesting.
The fact that you're finding it boring sort of underscores my whole point.

i love roman history, and to a bit lesser extend, medieval history. the modern stuff, well, it just doesn't do it for me. off course, WWII and WWI can hardly be called boring, and we have a teacher that tells great story's, but it just doesn't interest me as much. perhaps because it is all fully documented and there is nothing less to research.

They then share stupid stories with you, talk loud and annoingly about the most common birds you meet and are general pain-in-the-ass. I ****ing detest them. I hope every single of them will be castrated with a shovel, then fed to wild boars. ****ers.

Eurotrance and general K-System like "music". It gives me headache and I can't stand it. Why can't people listen to good music (which is the music I listen to? Jerks.

Totally ignorant idiots who think that because a certain paper says something it's either A) totally wrong or B) fundamentally right. These people make up 90% of "USA USA #1" and "USA=TEH EVIL" crews. They also need to die, preferably in glow of the thousand suns.

People who think that because they don't like particular subject (in discussion, usually), they must prevent the other ones talking about it. They also boast about whatever they do, but if you try to tell them something they're propably not interested, they turn on the "lalalalala i cant hear yuo=fagot" -mode. Yet they think that everything they say is more important than the second coming of Christ.

Piss-ass idiots who think that because they're woman/gay/plastic surgeons/whatever, every joke involving the particular group is tasteless and stupid - perhaps they even ignore the fact that it is humour.

Despite what you may have been lead to believe, weed aint acid or something. You can't tell if someone smoked it once and then they junkies for the rest of their lives...

My school has quite a few younger teachers, who I don't doubt smoke up quite alot. I much prefer the younger, more progressive generation to the old guys. Probably cause they haven't had 30 years of dealing with kids crush their spirit :lol: :lol:

Speaking from personal experience right now, knowing people that have done acid and having done it myself, you can't tell that they've done that once or twice either. In fact the only people that you can tell have done it are the abusers of it "eraserheads" (named after the film) who completely fry their brains on the stuff. Definitely not something you want to do more than once or twice a year.

It's personal preference really, I'm pretty strong willed and have a good grasp on who I am as a person and what I want to achieve when I take something like acid (do mushrooms about once every month and a half - two months) so I can semi deal with a lot of the effects of acid because of the similarity. I find I like it because it stimulates my creative side and I tend to think about problems in a different way, often to better results than sober thought.

I personally never got on with pills, I don't like the come down and I don't care too much for feeling loved up. Plus when I see other people on them (except my best mate) they all look like complete retards. But if they're enjoying it then more power to them. :)

It was probably because I felt a bit compelled to do it at the time, I was pretty young (over a decade ago). But once I made the decision not to do it again, I have to stick by it, else I'm letting myself down :)

Pills I've tried, and wasn't particuarly impressed at all, all strength no control, I used to do them once in a while, but grew out of them in the end.

I wouldn't recommend anyone try it unless they particuarly want to, and avoid smoking like the plague, it's almost as deadly, but if we can be open about politics, we can be open about drugs as well, at least, that's my opinion :)

It's not like were actively telling people to go out and do them because they're the best things ever and your life is empty without them either. It's something I do occasionally because it gives you different perceptions on life and situations and they're fun to do. I'm pretty sure that give a year or so I'll have stopped completely like most people do. I'm still pretty young, that's my excuse and I'm sticking by it. :)

PETA and Greenpeace are just a bunch of morons.

They started out as decent enough organizations but once alot of the bigger threats to the natural world were beaten into the background they started going after stupid goals and doing moronic things to further them.

Spray-painting people who wear fur; What the **** is up with that? Yes, let's use CFC's to permenantly brand human beings because they're wearing the fur of some dumb animal that's been hunted to extinction because it wasn't strong or smart enough to evade human hunters. Score one for the Creationists.

In my view, PETA and Greenpeace have their hearts in the right place, but their methods are about as effective as...well something realy ineffective. As long as any group (PETA, the Green Party etc) are seen as "the fringe", they're not going to accomplish much. They need to tone down the rheotirc and get into the mainstream.

PETA didn't even start out as a good idea. Did anyone catch Penn & Teller Bull**** about them?

Spoiler:

These guys want to liberate pets because they are slaves to humanity and no animal should ever be kept as a slave. They pay money to terrorist causes like the Animal Liberation Front etc who carry out firebombings against research facilities who's only crime is to try to cure AIDS, cancer and other diseases.

Worse one of their leaders is diabetic and therefore dependant on drugs which were researched on animals. When questioned about this her response was that she needs to live so that she could campaign for animal lives! :rolleyes


Lets face it PETA (at least their leaders) are a bunch of scumbags who should be wiped from the face of the Earth for the common good of mankind.

If given the choice between ensuring that some rabbit lives a life free from torture, or having Revlon come up with a revolutionary new kind of lip gloss that exactly the same as the ones before, I'de choose the animals. I think its a more or less noble cause, though how it is in practice I really couldn't say. Maybe thats just cause I'm fairly anti-corporate..

Except that there is a difference between a lip gloss and an anti cancer drug that will save thousends of lives. Those morons at PETA think that both are less important than a rabbits life except when it saves their own worthless lives.

Sure experimenting on animals for cosmetics is stupid and pointless but doing tests on animals to cure AIDS is another matter.

[color=66ff00]Personally I'm of the opinion that animals are expendable, humans are not. That's not vindicating experimentation for the sake of it though.

If you have to experiment on animals to save people then I have no problems with that.

It was once pointed out to a bunch of 'No animal testing whatsoever demonstrators that about 1/3 of them would be dead or incapacited were it not for drugs that were developed using testing on animals.

I'm against cosmetic testing, however. And only really ugly animals, though, of course, they might need the cosmetic testing more ;)
Title: Pet Peeves
Post by: Fineus on April 22, 2004, 05:03:43 pm
If it meant the difference between life and death for someone I loved, I'd say test something on an animal. But even then in all but the most unavoidable cases it should be as humane as possible (I don't know much of the specifics behind the testing.. so I can't say more than that).

Cosmetic products on the other hand is just sick. I don't care if it removes spots - it shouldn't be tested on animals.

Assuming it harms them? Because it's cruel. I'm against fox hunting for the same reason.

Ever seen the people who do it? Bunch of wankers - the adults are totally into it and think they're gods gift. The kids don't know any better and freely follow the adults example, assuming the fox feels no pain and that its some kind of sport. **** that.

For the same reason, beauty products that harm animals? I don't give a **** how pretty Victoria Beckham might look because a new eyeliner was developed as a result. It's purely commercial and it causes damage to creatures who have no say in whether they would participate in the testing or not.

If you want to test cosmetics - test them on humans. They're your target consumer anyway, and they can say "no, I don't want you to test that **** on me" if they want to.

You're assuming that the reason for cosmetic tests is purely...errmmm....cosmetic.

How many kids do you think every year kill themselves because the kids at school tell them they're ugly?

How many kids every year do you think are horribly scarred in fires?

How many people a year do you think can feed their children because they have the tools and ability to make Victoria Beckham look less ugly?

It's all matter of scope and you're purposely limiting your scope to support the perspective you've only chosen to follow because the politically correct nutters have demonized everyone who doesn't tow the party line and managed to force the government to hammer it into your head that such things are evil and wrong and only done by barbarians.

Meh, sorry - tad drunk here so just spewing as opposed to thinking about what I post. Should probably sleep.. heh.

Anyhow, some time last year I headed out on an anti fox-hunting protest with a close friend of mine and some other guys I hadn't met before.. it was a real eye-opener. You might imagine the stereotypical English "toff" or posh type who goes out hunting in his red jacket, white breeches and large brown horse... flanked by 10 or so hounds.

Well it's entirely true.

At first I laughed at the cliche. Then they (the dogs) got hold of a foxes scent and the game was on for them and us. Technically we could've been arrested for various things but weren't. At any rate we stopped any foxes from being caught or killed that day which was great - but it's a big eye opener into what goes on in certain social circles... the rest of the country goes by oblivious to this kind of thing - and it's really going on only 20 or so miles from where I live. Ergo I feel far more empathy for the fox who's minding his own business - to the horde of egotistic, rude and generally unpleasent humans who take part in such things.

And no, Victoria Beckham is ugly as hell - but a good example for someone who might use a beauty product.
