Let's get contentious - the types of people you can't stand

...in no order:

jerks

morons

imbeciles

cretins

PC activists

thugs

idiots

in general... those who look down on the common person(i.e. middle-class) etc. basically the more arrogant/snob types who are full of pride.

the way i see it... i treat someone with a basic level of respect unless they do something to mess that up but there seem to be some people who if your not making a ton of $$$ or in some high-up profession(i.e. doctor etc) they look down on you. i cannot stand those kinds of people.

i am sure i could list a fair amount of other stuff if i wanted to but that's good enough for now. but just to say something else... it seems there are plenty of people online who are constantly negative (trolls and the like) which the internet would be much better with those kinds of people who would likely not talk like that in real life to a typical person but yet online they fling all kinds of crap towards others. o well, when it's overrun by kids that's just the way many people seem to act.

I think the damage from that stuff is greatly exaggerated (like i heard some say we will be screwed in 50-100 years etc which i am sure is BS). it's not something i would lose any sleep over to say the least. it's probably more about the $$$ than anything else.

while i am not a expert on that stuff... what i want to know is how do they really know what's happening now, since they are all about the doom-and-gloom with the planets climate, is any different from the way the planets climate naturally cycles over a VERY long period of time? ; like thousands or tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or millions of years. can they really say what we got now is anything significantly different?

i am totally against anything 'climate change' related that costs the average person $$$. but it's the liberals who seem to be obsessed with the whole climate change stuff. the rest of us... ain't losing any sleep over it.



i would not consider myself completely anti-vaccine, as i am sure some are good to have, but at the same time i figure unless something is really needed it's best not to put it in your body. some vaccines seem largely pointless and are there more for the $$$ than peoples health.

personally... i don't have a lot of trust in a average doctor and especially the general medical industry for that matter as they seem more concerned with $$$ than peoples health as it seems like the standards of drugs on the market are much lower than they used to be given all of the commercials you see as the side effects could potentially be worse than the actual problem they are trying to treat (like the risks potentially outweigh the benefits it seems). hell, some drugs they advertise on TV even admit they can cause cancer (or other serious issues) as it just shows you they are lowering the standards just so they can make more $$$.



I would say the anti-gun people are worse than the pro-gun types in general.



That's pretty much the liberals.

Yeah, but that's liberals for you.

but i always thought, like you basically suggested, that teachers at a typical college should let both sides speak (conservative and liberal) what they want without fear of being penalized for your political views etc. but nowadays they are overrun by liberals who only accept liberal views or else, pretty much. take a look at the Berkeley thing where they throw a fit and act up just to stop a conservative from speaking there. shows you how tolerant they are.

also, i heard on Fox News not long ago that the teachers at a typical college are something like 12:1 in favor of liberal views (i.e. only about 8% conservative) where as not all that long ago (maybe something like 30-40 years ago or so(?)) i heard it was something like 2 out of 3 in favor of liberal. so if that's even a ball park figure things have really gotten heavily one sided in a fairly short period of time.

People who consider themselves too "intellectual" to watch TV, but happily watch bad mindless action films and stuff like that.

Overly judgemental people. Especially when it's directed toward those they have no real information about and it's all based on nothing more than appearance and assumptions.

People that don't fall in line in a crowded corridor. I've worked in hospitals a lot and it tends to be doctors that do this more than anyone else I've ever encountered. But they walk three or four wide down a hallway that just barely fits them and they don't share the hallway with oncoming people. I've shouldered at least half a dozen out of frustration and you get the same bewildered look every time like you've done something wrong.

Similarly, people that try to get onto an elevator before allowing people to get off. Don't worry the doors won't close without you just get the hell out of my way please.

People who wear khakis while mowing their lawn.
