George Carlin once said that, despite all cultural boundaries and differences, we are all united in the idea that we all believe are are FANTASTIC DRIVERS.
You outta regale me with your peeves? D: So I won't step on em when casually talking.
I have very few peeves, as Im generally an agreeable person.
I will say that die-hard 50's tards like Rush Limbaugh get my goat, along with customers who try to bully me into giving them free food.
Another would be a peeve more in myself, in that I find it difficult to stop going too far with things >:3 namely because I like exaggeration.
Another would be people whom are consistantly depressed. I can understand the occasional sadness, but dude, Cynicism is SO 1980's doncha know? And No, not in the least referring to bio-chemical imbalances such as Bi-polar disorder and neur-chemistry imbalances. I'm referring to the people with Munchausen syndrome, or who think that doom and gloom is around the corner or that the end is coming. It wasn't funny the first time. Humanity survived Y2K, we Survived the second coming of jesus no less than 28 times (according to their variosu predictions dating back as far as 1821 A.D.), we survived the end of the world twice both in May, and October, and the comet that was supposed to veer by in 2009.
Its very easy to overlook the beauty we have, and that things are getting better. After all, the news can't sell their rags unless there's accident photos on them. D: people get off on gloomy shit, and as a result the media reflects this.
REMEMBER THE KILLER MANMADE VIRUS? Turns out its cytoplasm easily gets demolished...by soap and water.
Also? Pro Lifers. Like, not the concept itself. Just the people whom blindly crush medical scientific advances just because it don't jive with their jeebus mess. Or threaten the lives of women by putting the life of the infant above the woman D: I'm sorry, but if My beloevd was laboring and the choice between saving the infant or my beloved came into play, I'd pick my beloved every time. >.>'''
Mormons, also. For no other reason than the forced Child bride thing. they said they stopped doing it, but come on man. What goes on behind closed doors? Not to say that the mainstream in the light is capable or culpable of such. But there's things that keep cropping up lately that let one realize that even though the church may take an official stance, its adherents whom have been born and raised on that mess arne't likely to jump on the change bandwagon so easily.
Also Luddites. Because their argument is invalid, I have the Singularity.
