I'm not implying that it's atheism or gtfo. I'm saying it strikes me as odd when someone can scoff at religion, yet feel that their beliefs are more valid. The only difference I can see is that one adheres to a dogma (in varying degrees) and one doesn't. They both still share some kind of unsubstantiated beliefs. Hmm... it's not so much that I scoff their beliefs but how they came to it: through a misinterpretation of a book that's already horribly translated. Not to mention the rampant abuse that religion can cause. edited for failure to proofreadMy original gripe was not aimed at you, though. There are plenty "spiritualists" who scoff at religion. I don't really want this to turn into a big debate. Let's just put our difference aside and have an e-beer.

My list from my last post on page 2: - People who blast crappy music out of their cars
- People who like bad music
- Fancy restaurants
- Oatmeal raisin cookies
I add to this list the following: - People who spit gum out into water fountains. Use the garbage can, and I won't have to go thirsty.
- Acne
- Not being able to yell "STEVIE WONDER IS A BETTER SONGWRITER THAN MICHAEL JACKSON!" this summer because of Michael's death.
- Copy protection on DVDs. When I went off to college a few weeks ago, I couldn't put my DVDs on my computer.

Teenagers who think that Twilight is the greatest book of the century. IT IS NOT A FUCKING MASTERPIECE! IT HARDLY QUALIFIES AS WRITING!

At least it isn't My Immortal. At least Meyer knows how to use proper spelling and syntax.
(Do NOT read the aforementioned fanfic, if you do, I cannot and will not be held responsible for the consequences.)

Okay, here's my list. * People who think my accent is cute. ( other than my guy, and I think his is adorable ) * Sexists * Racists * Sarcasm * People who talk about things they don't know while thinking they do * People who want others to dumb down to their level because learning is too hard * Bad families * Fake left wingers * People who only play the music they listened to in their teens, grow the fuck up* Historical re-enactments on the telly treated as real history * Science as drama on Discovery Channel. * Willful ignorance and stupidity Wow, I made two entries of your list. I happen to have been and always will be a fan of Metallica, Alice Cooper, and several others from the 80's and 90's and I refuse to grow up. I will forever be a Toys R Us kid! As for the sarcasm, I traded my soul for it so I'm stuck with it I guess.

Grow up? Fuck that. You'll have to kill me first, and that will be a tall order to fill, bub.
(more to the list)
*People who say I need to "grow up." Go die in a motherfucking fire.

Youse guys missed the "only" word in my statement about musical taste.
And since most folk here are barely out of their teens anyway you barely qualify.
I'm talking about people in their forties who listen to golden oldies on the radio, who haven't listened to one new song in twenty five years.
Here's a secret, I listen to old stuff, Led Zeppelin and the Moodies, etc etc, but I also listen to lots and lots of new stuff like Destroyer, Modest Mouse and Fischerspooner etc.

Actually, the post wasn't directed at you, it just reminded me of another thing that irks me.

Jesus, Locks of Love isn't a terrorist organization. Just because you don't to cut your hair, don't rip out an organization doing a little good and covering their expenses at the same time. I donated hair to them twice, and both times my hairdresser in cooperation with the organization, didn't charge me for the haircuts.
So, I got two free haircuts, and two kids who need hair (for any condition, caner patients aren't special) got a little closer to that goal.
Next it'll be that no one really needs a blood transfusion, the Red Cross just wants you to think that so they can have all your plasma for themselves.

Gods Dammit, RH. Now I'm going to have to see what you're talking about.
EDIT: Dear gods... I-I saw it on /b/, and didn't realize it was real...

Do whatever you like with your own hair, but I dislike being badgered and bullied to donate my hair, which I don't wnat to do, and I think it's sad that so many girls and women just chop their hair and give it away without knowing the truth behind the organization they're donating to. If they were more forthcoming and honest, I would have less of a problem with them. And way to jump the gun there. Wigs are not a matter of life and death. Blood transfusions are. If I could, I would donate blood. I WANT to donate blood. And bone marrow and organs. But I can't. And this bothers me.
