I hate when people actually get into an arugement over the playoffs of anything, March Madness brackets, the Superbowl, etc! It's ridiculous...

I also hate when kids choose to play a bunch of stupid video games (Halo online usually) instead of go run through the woods. Where the hell is the fun in video games vs getting lost for hours in the woods?

i hate it when my friends try to convince me that PC's are better than macs. i then own every defense that they out up, and yet they still think PC's are better!

i laso hate how a white person cannot say "niggre"(EDIT:censor defeated me, no offense to anyone) and yet black people refer to themselves, other black people, and even whites as "niggers". just kinda weird. not that im promoting calling black people that, its really not cool.

i hate it when you cant understand someone due to a heavy accent/ speach impediment/ poor language skills, and yet when ever you say something about speaking slower, they get angry, or they just say it again, or they say it in a tone like you are a retard.

The age old PC Mac debate. I personally have a PC but that's mainly because I'm more familiar with their workings and they have more games and other apps that I use. I've heard Macs are very good for graphic design though.

I do enjoy videogames, though not now that I have dislocated bones in my wrist. However, fat lards that spend so much time playing games that their skin is transalucent, those peopke piss me off. I mean have some dignity, do some kind of physical activity, go reenact halo with paintball guns or something.

I actually hate the whole Mac VS PC debate. Yes, each one is very different, and each has its own advantages. Why argue endlessly over it? Let each person just pick the one which suits his or her needs the best, not because someone else persuades you to!

I also hate political correctness. Honestly, many of the politically correct phrases are just made cause some idiot trying to make himself or herself more significant by arguing. Its all bull if you ask me. I heard a story about kids complaining that a prayer was said during a graduation. Give me a break. Just cover your ears if you are so offended by it!

Man... people these days :x !

I hate it when friends try to convince me that Macs are better than PCs. Not saying they aren't, but honestly they both have their place. I administer a network with about 6000 PCs and Macs alike, so don't say I'm biased towards a PC :)

I personally think that if you feel so inclined to bash the reputation of the law enforcement community, you should forfeit the right to be defended by them, lest you be labeled a hypocrite for tearing them down and then accepting their assistance.

I also think that people who cry about inmates rights should shut up. I think inmates shoul have less rights than regular people. They don't need cable tv, or three hot meals a day, or a library, or workout facilities. Minor crimes I can understand a few amenities, but murderers, rapists, and the like, no. I personally think that if you rape or kill another person, you forfeit your rights as a human. It pisses me off to no end knowing that some murderers live better in jail than some of the families they've destroyed.

EDIT: Political correctness pisses me off too.

Hmm, can anyone say conspiracy theorist? I've personally never had a virus. Couple trojans but rare. You know where a lot of viruses come from? It's all that porn you guys watch. My neighbor doesn't even run AV software and I don't recall him ever having a problem. Stay off suspicious sites and you're good.

We don't have to forfeit that 'right', the government does it for us.
Police Have No Duty To Protect Individuals (1982)
.
An appellate court has ruled that police were not
negligent in failing to protect three women from two
knife-wielding assailants. The case (D.C. 444 A. 2d 1)
stemmed from a 1975 incident in which two men broke into
the house shared by three women. Two of them called police
after hearing the other scream for help.
A police dispatcher assured them assistance was on the
way. A squad car arriving on the scene, merely circled the
house without stopping, and the dispatcher failed to relay
a second call for help. The iintruders, discoving the other
two women, repeatedly raped and beat all three over the
next fourteen hours.
In dismissing the suit, the Court of Appeals reaffirmed
what it called the "well-established" and "uniformly
accepted rule" that "a government and its agents are
under no general duty to provide public services, such
as police protection to any particular individual
citizen." The court held that police have a duty only
to the "public at large and not to individual members
of the community."
Similar decisions across the nation place citizens
in a dilemma, as more states are adopting stronger
limitation on the right of self defense, compounded by
the nationwide drive to place restrictive gun control
law on the books.
If court rulings continue to hold that police have
no duty to protect the individual, as ownersship of
fire-arms faces increasing restraints. U.S. citizens
will ultimately find themselves completely at the mercy
of violence-prone criminals.
There are a lot of people out there that are better suited to defend themselves than the police are in a majority of situations.
