Yeah, humans. It's hard to keep them.

This breed is not for beginners.

You have to constantly watch that the temperature doesn't vary much from the freezing point of water. But they can't endure anywhere near the boiling point either.

And that oxygen thing. The pressure needs to be kept around 15 psi and the N O mixture has to be maintained @ 4/1 or they will die.
Who ever designed them to run on such a combustible substance should be anti-mattered.

And the mess. This is important. They excrete. Yeah, that's right, they're very dirty things. And they breed too.

So if the little ones insist on having a pet, start them out with a nice clean robot first and you won't have to put up with the smell.

Is it because 90% of the population uses Windows?:D

but I more or less agree...I wouldn't say "hate" but I don't agree with the values of 95% of the people I meet.
 
I'd say I dislike 97% of people. I find most people to be dirty, annoying, poor driving, slackers who are content to bitch about everything but never do anything to fix the situation or attain their goals.
 
But you're meant to do that right? For at least 10 minutes? (I can hear my home ec teacher's voice echoing in my head right now)

Well, no. The principle is that human skin burns at a set temperature, say 'X'. To stop the burning, you simply must reduce the temperature below X. People use cold water in good faith as their rationale is that the seriousness of a burn is dictated by temperature and the time exposed - and that cold water will remove more heat. You can see the logic.

However, what happens if you take a glass straight out of the dishwasher and put cold water in it? It smashes due to thermal stress. That same principle applies to your skin cells, and it's very destructive. So the best things to do are:
- Room temperature water.
- Constantly flowing over the site (i.e. not just sticking your hand in a bowl of water and waving it about every now and then)
- No creams. Creams 'lock in' the heat, making the burn worse as it penetrates deeper. Use them the next day.

Obviously we're talking about 1st/minor 2nd degree burns here. If it's worse you need to get an expert. I'd be wary of letting anything but the softest, slowest water flow over a serious burn.

That's interesting, and yes I admit I was ignorant to this. Now that I know, I'll try to be more patient, though I'll still think "just stay at home." (Yes, yes, I know, some mothers are single, or both parents are out and they can't afford a babysitter, etcetc, no need to lecture me).

And no need to be so condescending, I'm sure you have some ignorant moments yourself. So many times I'd be standing somewhere, and someone comes up behind me, tells me something or other. Then taps my shoulder, and when I turn around, I see a annoyed person thinking I'm an ******* for ignoring him. I point to my ear indicating that I'm deaf. Then a "ohhh" expression, and the person moves away.

What if that person never tapped my shoulder? That person'd think "what an *******."

If you, honestly and truthfully, never did that, or thought that, then I tell you: you lie.

I thought I was pretty polite? FWIW I never said I was perfect. I flip the bird to drivers that cut me off, I get agitated at people who walk slow in front of me, etc. However I didn't get on a online board and profess my hate towards them lol. Everyone gets annoyed b/c we all have our own little worlds we are trying to live in. My point of the above post I made was to show that there are people doing things outside of what you do (such as carry a stroller for example) that aren't ness worthy of your hate.

And I will still challenge you on the staying at home thing. I don't have kids but I will someday. Not only that but we were all kids at some point. Your assertion that if possible, one of the parents should stay at home with them and they should never leave the house... babies aren't lepers for crying out loud. They are just as welcome to be out in public as anyone else. Can you imagine the strange people that would result if kids were left under lock and key inside until they could act appropriate in public? Other than babies, being out in the real world is where we learn how to behave, along with hopefully a little parenting.

Okay, i'm done. Understand i'm not condescending, at least any more than you did to pretty much anyone who has a kid. No hard feelings, I dont hate you :)
 
I am very judgemental, I don't hate people though, actually I'm quite forgiving and pleasant to most people, more than most people are.

I spot flaws in reasoning easily and tend to be pedantic and critical which would put me at odds with plenty of people, but I don't display that anymore. It's not an attractive trait and doesn't get you anywhere I've come to learn. So I bite my tongue, on the forums and in real life and smile instead.

I also find that I tend to like and forgive people more the happier I become with myself. I used to get into lots of arguments academic and otherwise, but as I get older I don't waste as much time on that (I'm 28 now).

That said, I'm less social these days than I used to be. So maybe I just keep my distance better and think less about how pathetic people can be :D
 
It's only natural to harbor some animosity towards those who are inferior to me. :D I laugh, but I'm sure as a teen I felt this way even if I wouldn't have admitted it to myself at the time.
 
I've always said exactly what the OP is stating. "I hate 90% of people".

The main reason for this hatred is because people just don't think before they open their mouths. It doesn't make sense to me. I've always been extremely intelligent and wished other people were the same so I could never understand why people would do/say certain things.

I could elaborate more but the disgust of people is preventing my fingers from continuing to move.
 
watch jerry springer and tell me how how you think people don't deserve to be hated:p

Woah. This is just like me. At least now if I ever get depressed I can't say 'no-one understands'.

I didn't read enough to see what this was in direct response to, but I don't think anyone would suggest that parents never take their babies out...but instead to take them to APPROPRIATE places. ie NOT THE THEATER. Why do so many parents think that taking a baby or toddler to a movie is a good idea??? Couldn't get a babysitter? Then wait for the DVD and go to the park.

OK, and on to the original topic...one visit to a movie theater these days should be all the reason you need to say that you dislike 90% of the people out there. My wife and I went to a movie today. There were 8 people there, including us. In front of us was a woman and her maybe 7-year-old daughter. The daughter did not want to be there and moved around, stood in her seat, and talked constantly, to the mothers' "SHUSH!". One set of people behind us just randomly talked. Then there was the third couple...OH MY GOD...

These two grown women came in and immediately pulled out their cellphones. They proceeded to use them, text, and then talk back and forth with each other at full conversational volume about what they were texting and what was going on with each other. They never shut up the ENTIRE movie. GROWN WOMEN. After a few glances from myself and my wife showing our disdain for their activity, one women remarked to the other "If those two look at me again....". *WE* were the bad people for trying to get them to be quiet in a movie. Not wanting to get in a tangle with two large angry women, we just tried to ignore them as best we could.

I honestly don't know why we keep going to movies. We haven't been to a movie in a long, long time that didn't have someone in it making excessive noise either by talking, or bringing a baby, or texting, or just being overly ignorant to the world around them. It's just commonplace these days. And I don't see why other's remark "If it bothers you so much, then just don't go." Holy crap...that's your solution? Let's not try to get people to act right in public, just don't do into public so you don't have to deal with them!! Support ignorance...yay! Ugh.
 
I once taught music to a kid who's mother had all of her children attached to the tit, literally. OMG I hated her so much. She felt it was ok to not only hawk over the child and myself in our tiny little practice room where I taught the lessons, but felt it was ok to tell me how to teach a subject she had absolutely no knowledge of. arrrrrgh what a mental midget. not only that, she had to bring her two other children into the tiny music practice room during the lesson, which was distracting enough, but she felt it was her god given right to just whip out the tit and breast feed the baby, right in front of me, during the lesson I was trying to teach. Hate isn't really a strong enough word

That's where I would have loudly said 'You'll what? Continue ruining the film for everyone in here by talking so loudly?'

Peer pressure. Guaranteed not to get you sat on by a fat angry woman*.

Sounds like the same way our Country treats illegals.... Its B.S. The problem is that 90% of the people are ignorant and, therefore, become the majority. And when majority rules, especially your case, the normal people become outcasts and ruins the place completely.

Its horse ****, and you can't do anything about it. Sucks.

I'm sure I'll regret asking but:

How do you think this country treats illegals and how do you think they should be treated?

Before you comment on something, you may actually want to read the entire thing lol. I find it amusing (though you aren't the only one) that you would comment without even reading the backup. Thats a problem in general with the internet or even life, a whole lot of "experts" who actually haven't a clue what they are talking about. :rolleyes: He wasn't talking about movies - at least they weren't referenced in his comment - however he did reference the subway/bus. Movie theaters, sure, if your kid cries then excuse yourself. Thats not at all what this guy was talking about.

Anyway.... more to the point... this thread is full of citations of dozens of examples of rude people. Yes, rude people exist however I don't think they are even close to a majority. This thread serves up at best anecdotal evidence of "stupidity" and in a lot of examples not even that much. Most of this is b*t@hing and moaning about pet peeves. I am amazed at the smugness and high and mighty attitudes here in this thread...
 
I'm pretty sure that whether its on the street, at work, at a bar, or just reading a post on a forum...i find that I absolutely hate so many people.

And its not really without cause; so many people just do or say such retarded stuff like they have no self-awareness.

I think that if you don't feel the same way, than you may be part of that 90%.

It could be because you like to think and do things in your own way and believe that you are mostly right all of the time. I imagine you have little tolerance for things done other than by “your method”. You could be a narrow-minded bigot…but you could also be a genius without much tolerance for “lesser minds”. Only you would know that answer to that. On the other hand, it might not be your fault. You could have what is known as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). It’s a mental condition that causes people to be intolerable of various random things for no apparent logical reason (at least to observers). However, the sufferer often can’t help but be irked by these “little things”.

As for internet forums, much of what you read is BS from someone bored at work. You CAN learn something from interacting with certain types of forums, but in a debating forum like this, you will constantly have to filter out ill-informed information someone just made up to “win” an argument. Otherwise, expect to encounter various opinions on more grey topics that might fly in the face of your own. How you take that is up to you, but I would say don’t stress yourself out. What are you reading it for? Are you reading it because you like to get pissed off? Then maybe you should become a combat soldier if you like aggression so much. You will then be able to legally kill people...if your side wins.
 
WOW!!! :eek:

I never thought the world was filled with so much hatred, why can't you folk just get along? just ignore the those idiots and carry on with life.
 
While I wouldn't go as far as saying 90%, and I wouldn't even say 'hate', I find there are a lot of obnoxious, annoying, and downright stupid people in the world. Working in a customer service / sales position reaffirms that every day. However, its important to not write everyone off, sometimes the very person you develop a preconception about turns out to be a great person once you get to know them.
 
If you are fake, a lair, pompous, a constant complainer, a stuck up bi**h, you lack or have little common sense, or are an I-know-everything type of person- I want nothing to do with you.

Hard to ignore someone talking behind you or texting in front of you in a movie. Hard to ignore the jerk who pulls out into the intersection as the light turns red for his direction, blocking cross traffic from going. Hard to ignore the people who stand in doorways and talk.

If you are able to simply ignore these morons, then more power to you. I, for one, grow more and more agitated every day with the complete lack of common sense and over-individual-bubbleness that plagues people today.

Someone above mentioned that it's because maybe we just don't like that people aren't doing things "our way", and someone else said it's because we are all smug and self-righteous. Sorry, the examples I listed above aren't just a case of someone not doing it "my way", or because I think I'm so much better. Those are typical examples of rude and ignorant behavior that have a direct effect on other people. Putting an item in a store back on the wrong shelf or parking in a no-parking zone are examples of things that may annoy other people, but don't have an actual effect. That's where being smug and self-righteous would come into play.

You forgot the MORONS who walk 3-, 4-, 5-abreast in the mall so they take up the entire walkway.
