black people that somehow think that "slavery" somehow makes the black people alive today superior to the white people alive today

it's a stupid idea because the "civil rights" movement was called the "civil rights" movement because it happened on the 100th anniversary of the begining of the civil war, all the slaves and slave-owners have been long dead just from old-age

the abuse of people who are dead at the hands of people who are dead should have no bearing on the perceptions of the psychology of people still alive

just because someone can trace their family tree back to slave-owners does not mean that this person is going to treat black people badly


homophobics
if 2 people are noticeably a couple, should it matter if they're the same gender as each other??
if a gay guy grabs his boyfriend's dick in front of children at McDonald's, yeah, that's innopropriate for children, but it's only innopropriate in exactly the same way that it would be for a female to grab her boyfriend's dick in front of children at McDonald's

I'm really sick of people telling me raw sugar is better than High fructose corn syrup every time I eat something deemed "unhealthy"

Fuck off with your BS myth!

 

[monoxide_child]

When books that have a movie adaption use an image from the movie as the front cover.

wait

Women talking in the library.

Or more simple, women talking.

All sugar is bad, HFCS is just slightly more bad. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Dude, you need to get some knowledge on the subject man. Got Netflix? Tons of solid documentaries on there

Whoa, that's a good one.

That's the same thing I thought.

Because the book precedes the movie, and often the author of the book has nothing to do with the movie. It's almost sacrilege. If anything, the movie posters should echo the book cover. I mean, I enjoyed The Lord of the Rings trilogy, but I don't want to see Elijah Wood's fucking face on my copy of Fellowship of the Ring. Especially when so many editions of Tolkien's novels have exquisite artwork from people like John Howe and Alan Lee.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

- When people (mostly girls) say "I listen to everything but country". That's how you know someone only listens to crap music.

That definitely raises a red flag, because it implies that obnoxiously upbeat dance pop is A-OK, but they cannot thole something like Johnny Cash.

Agreed. I make an exception though for the Nazgul.

Wagner cds sometimes have helicopters on the cover because of Apocalypse nao. Strange. Classical cds sometines have random shit on the cover like landscapes so I guess helicopters are better. At least there's some connection.

 

[Serjeant Grumbles]

If it's not program music or an opera, it makes sense that the cover would be something random. But with Wagner, there's no excuse.

I hate it when people try to tell me that America isn't the freest country on the planet, or when they claim that they have writing and running water in Europe. People are so gullible!

 

[KafkaX]

When women complain about men not putting the toilet seat down.

Country music is not for me.

With that said, Johnny Cash has some amazing tunes!

To stay on topic:

(coming from the point of view, of a male bathroom in a workplace)

I hate when people go in to a toilet, and take a piss, and there is piss all over the seat. When there is a perfectly good stand up stall right next to them. So now I have to wipe it down with toilet paper to make it "clean".

USE THE STAND UP STALL

P.S. I love this thread.

Stand up stall, my life in peeing form.

 

[SentinelSlain]

People who leave public toilets in a bad state generally are a load of dirty scruffy chavy bastards who were probably cottaging wildly and rummaging around the ruddy bumcheeks.

 

[Blind Guardian]

What's the point of standing up and peeing when you're not in a public bathroom? It's more comfortable to sit down.

This has got nothing to do with me being Swedish by the way. I don't know anyone else who sits down to pee.
