- People who think they have to conform to everything that everybody does. Just be your friggin self! A society full of "peer pressure" is just lame.

- People who expect the worst out of their loved ones

- Cigarette smoke *cough* *cough* *gag* *dies* :no:

- Loud, bassy music when I'm trying to sleep :sigh:

- Instructors/professors who don't take time to bring hands-on experience into the classroom

- All forms of anime

- People with horrific programming style :shaking:

You don't need a pic. Go read her website. She's pretty clear as to whether she was born a boy or girl.

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.

:yes:

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.

Stupid goddamn idiots who think that because they bought binoculars and have seen a duck at late 1970s somehow makes them HARDER THAN ROCK birdwatchers. 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.

Argh. OK, so I hate everyone. ANGST ANGST BABY

ps. all capitals
lol wtf

Well, I prefer Ancient Greece, Egipt and Rome. Classics...

WWII is also an excelent history subject seing that it combines almost every aspect of history in an interesting way, you got diplomatic, military, geographic, etc... every little part of what history is, is there. :)

Tiara, what time periods are you currently teaching if I may ask? :D

I'm teaching several classes and most have different subjects.

Currently I'm teaching Greece (including mythology) and the colonization of America and everything around it in the upper classes I teach and the World Wars + Vietnam in the lower classes.

We're pretty much in the last stages so I've kept the simple topics for last (as you can see) so my students have more time to study for their finals :)

I just realised, you're like that one teacher every school has that's hot.

Kudos.

Anyway:

I only really hate 2 things: People who are intollerant of other people's cultures; And the Dutch.
