Actually, if I recall correctly what Riibu said she was, enough people have heard of them that they're not exactly small and unknown. :P Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

I'm telling you, those Mohamedans are a cult. If we add the infidel Catholics onto the list, there's only half as many of them as of us.

Hmm. Most of my pet peeves begin and end either with me, me in a car, or me at school. For the most part I'd like to believe myself a big enough person to forgive other people their differences, but, then again, everyone gets upset about something, it would seem. (The keenly observant among you might notice that I am, in fact, a bit of a hypocrite. I readily admit this, and for the most part take steps to avoid it, but honestly, who isn't a bit hypocritical at times? I think hypocrisy is part of the human condition, and whereas it should be avoided if possible, isn't necessarily the screaming offense some would make it out to be.) My list looks mostly like this: Serious Complaints: -Rapists, child molesters and any other sort of perpetrator of sex crime. (If I had my way, I'd go over to some sort of sex-offender's prison with this here Desert Eagle and with any luck the only person left alive in the building would be me. And then the cops would show up, and I'd probably get the death penalty for mass murder, but hey, that's the breaks, I suppose.) -NAMBLA. (See above comment, except replace the desert eagle with some sort of razor-tipped electrical devices, which might in fact keep them alive for hours before killing them.) -Racists. (Quit giving white people a bad name, you misbegotten trailer-trash sons of ignorant whores! Ahem. Sorry.) -The KKK and similar groups for any nationality. -The ACLU. (Hey, I'm all for civil liberties and the like, but anyone who would go so far as to support any of the aforementioned is one subpoena short of a class-action suit, thank you very much.) -The Holier-Than-Thou camp. (Nobody in particular, mind you, they just bug me.) Minor Annoyances: -Hip-Hop and its derivative works. (I know, I'm just an unreasonable bastard.) -The Irrevocably Trendy. (I just can't quite wrap my mind around the lifestyle, I'm sorry.) -The Flamingly Gay. (No offense. I'm personally somewhere in the bisexual field (despite having not actually acted on any of those feelings yet), but for some reason people who seem to be having some sort of personal contest to see who can appear the most gay irritate me. In my mind, it should be a non-issue, but ah well.) Driving Woes: -People who drive under the speed limit in front of me. -People who aggressively drive under the speed limit in front of me. -People who drive in front of me in general. -The perfectly well-justified and in a general way absolutely right police officer who gave me a speeding ticket, whom I still absolutely loathe the guts of. [ Saturday, June 21, 2003 22:01: Message edited by: Chintznibbles and Stuff ] -------------------- Stuff? Don't mind if I do, thanks. This may, in fact, be a long, rambling post without much bearing on the topic of the thread. Consider yourself warned. Posts: 32 | Registered: Monday, February 3 2003 08:00 |

You see, the big problem with the law is that when we changed from stoning outsiders to giving anybody a chance to defend themselves no matter what they'd done, we didn't explain why to anyone. -------------------- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I'll tell you my story, man Though I wish I'd never been born I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams And my hand it shakes the pen Come on, come on now baby, Let the good times roll again Posts: 961 | Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00 |

quote:Sorry for the Quotes-in-quotes. But thats the point why I asked. What is a cult? I am (a quite critical) roman-catholic. I guess, that is a church (there is a double-meaning in the german word, Kirche=church means the Building AND the institution). My best friend at school was neuapostolisch (new-apostolian!?), I lived next to the rooms of Jehowas witnesses when I studied in Aachen, an at my school there are pupils from all over the world with beliefs from all over the world. I was just interested. Riibu, you maybe PM me? [ Sunday, June 22, 2003 09:36: Message edited by: Iolanda ] Posts: 55 | Registered: Tuesday, October 22 2002 07:00 |

Ugh. If you want to know what she is, search for "Jehovah's Witness" in General under her name. I can't find the post that has all that stuff, but I do remember it was about Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, in part. I think. Let's not turn this into a religious debate though. And CaS, it's ok. Really. EDIT: A) Not worth responding to. B) I know/am friends with several.

OK, if you really want me to respond, I will... hippies believe in peace and love exclusively like Urban II believed in forgiveness. Anyway, hippies are defined by drugs and sex, not peace and love. EDIT: What's with "plib"? EDIT2: - When people look past all the parts of a post and only see one, specifically the weakest part.

1. Sir David and his ilk--"Oh, I'm Christian, but I'm not like all those hypocritical Christians who believe they're exclusively right about everything, even though I get all up-in-arms and offended every time someone disagrees with me and clearly think I'm in the right even though I deny it to sound good! Boo hoo, everyone hates me and disagrees with me because I'm Christian! I'm such a persecuted martyr!" 2. Christians who really do believe that they're right about everything because of the Bible, which is everything Alec said-- an inexact translation of an inexact translation that's 4000 years out of date anyway. It should be thought of along the same lines as the Epic of Gilgamesh, in my opinion--useful for understanding what life was like back then, but taken no more seriously than Greek mythology. 3. Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Concerned Women For America, PETA, Mission America and all those other people/groups who are sending this country to hell in a handbasket. 4. Bush and company. 5. Blind patriots who would support Bush if he decreed that all Americans must run to the nearest bridge and jump off it, because AMERICA IS GREAT and BUSH IS ALWAYS RIGHT. 6. People who use "gay" as an insult. 7. Little boys from the ages of 1 to 14. 8. The Revere Brigade. 9. Reality TV. 10. Seven-year-old girls who wear tube tops and hoochie shorts. 11. Boy bands, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne and any and all rap. (Don't hurt me, Drakey.) 12. People who whine incessantly when deprived of their X-boxes for a week because they were sightseeing in Rome. (I just spent a week in Rome with my Latin class and assorted annoying 8th-graders, and one kid actually uttered the sentence, "I can't believe I'm stuck in Rome when I could be at Dungeons and Dragons camp." He wouldn't shut up about how much he missed his video games. We tried to push him off the top story of the Colosseum, but our chaperone caught us.)

Apart from that snide comment about hippies insulting the whole of my immediate family, I'm willing to let it slide. I would love to correct you of this misinformation about hippies, but it seems that people have been trying to correct your various ignorances since you joined these boards. But I might as well try. It seems that the idea of hippies just being about drugs and sex is quite widespread in America. Probably because you haven't had any "real" hippies since the Vietnam War. All the hippies I know are peace-loving people, who may like to use recreational drugs occasionally. My dad (long-time hippy) has never smoked a joint in his life. -------------------- KazeArctica: "Imagine...wangs everywhere...and tentacles. Nothing but wangs and tentacles! And no pants!"

A few more... X. Good threads that degenerate into stupid arguments. Y. People who complain when bad threads become interesting arguments. Z. People who insult or claim to dislike something they actually know nothing about. A possible exception to this is food; some things are just so disgusting in concept that they're not worth trying. Haggis is a case in point. —Alorael, who is willing to concede that haggis may taste wonderful. That doesn't change the fact that it deserves to be banned by 51 of America's states in order to promote morality, sanity, sanitation, and general happiness and well-being.
