Why hate people for the color of their skin when there are much better reasons to hate them?


I'm not a bad enough dude, but I am an edgy little shit. I'll do what I can.

It's just an obnoxious phrase that douchebags say constantly.

As far as I can tell, people like that try too hard to hate people. It has to come naturally or you'll just out yourself as a poser faster.

"The government was behind 9/11 and it was a controlled demolition job"

And that was coming from the guy I consider the smartest person at my job. I'm not a genius by any means, but everyone there is just so shallow on so many levels. My boss actually lit up when he found out I'm an old time gamer, but even then I lost him after about 3 minutes and he started going to XBox 360 stuff...*sigh*

When people stereotype. I was talking with one of my friends about the novel "Ender's Game," and then behind me I hear "You guys talking about Star Wars?" I swear to God, it's like I'm the smartest person in my school. And I'm a freshman. Also, when the preppy jock people try to strike up a "nerdy" conversation with me. They try to talk about Modern Warfare 2, and then I start talking about the pros and cons of FTL (faster than light, for the less educated) travel. They walk away bewildered, I sit there satisfied. Also, repeat posts.

I really fucking hate it when people are asking for the location of something, and they add "at" to the end of a sentence. It's as if the person has given up any semblance of having an education and says, "Fuck you, I'm an unabashed jackass that likes to add unnecessary words to my sentences"
i.e. "Where is that place at"? Instead of "Where is that place"?

I felt that same way a while ago.
I viewed everybody else as the kind of people who know nothing about life and are over obsessed with making highschool what they *think* it's supposed to be

I must admit, I'm quite guilty of this. Embarrassed

I guess any time I see Portal cake quotes thrown out there out of context. The whole bit with glados and cake/the companion cube was meant for her to have a comic misunderstanding on how to motivate a human. It was a great touch, but the NINJAWAFFLEMONKEYCHEESE crowd just couldn't think for more than two seconds before their "lol random" lobes started pulsing and they immediately started printing quotes all over the place.

"Lemme get a hit off that" when someone is referring to trying to get a drink of your soda or beverage. It's not reefer, hippie, go buy your own drink.

"Obamacare"

I may not like his health care plan at all, but attempting to turn the president's name into a swear word of sorts is just disgraceful.

I hate when people pluralize department store names.

"I'm going down to Walmarts to get 20 tube socks for $2." or "I like to go to Kmarts because I like being the only customer in the store." I think this might be an Upstate New York thing because I never heard it until I lived there.

Speaking of plurals, I cringe when I hear or read someone say "Anyways"....that's not a word.

When people horribly mis-pronounce food items. I work in a restaurant and hear it every day. I'm not too intolerant, I'll let people have "Ragowt" instead of "Ragout" or "Bor-jig-non" instead of "Borguignon", but there's no reason a fully-trained waiter should be offering our customers "Escargaht" and "Pinawt griggy-o."

Used to feel like that. Then I grew up a bit. I realized that just because I am nerdier doesn't mean that I should A) Shun people who aren't as nerdy and B) discourage people from something good so that I can feel better about myself. I've made a lot of good friends since then and got a lot of people into things that they never knew they would love just by being patient with them and being friendly.
I now have a group of ex-partyjocks that I play DnD with a few times a month. And they are a lot more fun to hang out with than my rules lawyer "Heh. That dude thinks the original Blue Beetle is a better Beetle than Kord." Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's fun to have that smug nerdy moments but if you act like a tool while having that feeling, it's not really worth it.

I'll be fair, and any time someone feels they have to start rattling off their very favorite "Bushisms" whenever they feel like they need to be funny, but are not funny.

Also, pretty much any term that's used for a length of time on all news shows when they think it's really, really clever.

Along these lines, but slightly more controversial, is "scallops".

As far as I'm concerned, "scallops" rhymes with "polyps" and not "gallops". Maybe it's a regional thing, since people in New England tend to agree with me but flaming (modded) like Guy Fiore and Alton Brown seem to pronounce it the other way. But fuck you, my way is right.
