I hate.....Old people who can barely see to wipe their ass but still think they have the right to get behind the wheel of a car and drive 20mph in the fast lane on the interstate like they are the only person in the world even when there are 8000 people lined up behind them waiting to pass but can't because of the damn semi in the other lane!
I hate....people who don't use turn signals
I hate...companies who won't return your phone calls regarding an order that should have been shipped a week ago but you still haven't gotten it.
I hate...people who burn the tires off their car to pull out in front of you on a two lane road then go 15mph slower than the slowest car on the road (see Old People rant above).
I hate....when someone's dog that should be on a leash at the crag steps on your rope, gets under your belay, barks its fool head off, and then noses through your gear looking for food and eating it if they find it.
I hate...cold, rainy, wintry weather.

I Hate...
I hate people like charlie above who hate people like "bigoted, christian coalition, narrow minded conservatives"...geesh, charlie, why don't you tell us how "narrow minded, bigoted and conservative" YOUR opinions are against those who differ in their views...
I am a flaming liberal, and rhetoric like that against conservatives is laughable...true liberals WANT people to have opinion...just because it isn't lockstep with mine, I won't belittle them with silly little labels...
well, maybe I will, but I see the fallacy of my thinking on this issue anyway

Positive vibes brah...positive vibes.
...the stereotype that liberals have to let people have an opinion (even an uneducated one) because that is what liberals do, sorry pigsteak.
...that Oxford does not have an Indian restaurant but we have 3 Mexican restaurants in a town who's population fluctuates between 8000 and 32000 within one day and then back again 9 months later. A girl can only eat so many burritos and since when did burritos become the new pizza?
...no matter how hard I try I still think that my M.A. is yet another piece of time-consuming toilet paper...but hey, at least it let me get introduced to climbing.
...that the ATM seems to think that it needs to verify that I want my card back or that I have taken out all of the money I need at that moment, thank you very much. it is a conservative conspiracy to get me to "support" the economy if ever I saw one!

I know that you believe that you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

It's the "bigoted, narrow minded, christian coalition conservatives" mentioned in direct context with conservatives who hold "decent and well informed opinions" that I'm not so happy about. I have no problem with opinions, diversity makes us stronger. I'd just prefer people put a little thought into it.
I'm tired of people who don't know any gay people tell me gay people are just addicted to the lifestyle. They could be straight if they want.
I'm tired of people that vote for radical conservatives because their right to bear arms supercedes every other issue, especially when who they vote for is in direct opposition to their views on social and economic issues.
I'm tired of people who just watched 20 of their friends get laid off this year tell me that tax cuts and subsidies for corporations actually help the little guys.
I'm tired of prolifers who force single mothers and people living in poverty to have kids they can't afford while simultaneously cutting money for social programs that help those people.
It ain't the conservatives, it's the radicals that are spoonfed their opinions from editorial pages instead of trustworthy new sources. I got just as much problems with greenpeace, PETA, and all kinds of "liberal" radical groups too but I guess I forgot to mention that 'cause I'm trying to stay away from long rants on a soapbox.
Sometimes things bother me, but that's just cause I got nothing but love for the world. Positive vibes from now on, promise.

come on charlie...every single one of your statements slamming issues you don't agree with could be turned around...here is an example...
"I am tired of pro choicers telling women in poverty that it is their choice to abort when in fact these same liberals should be telling people their "choice" was made when they slept with a man who was not ready to financially or emotionally help with a child"
"I am tired of liberals saying the tax cuts are for the rich only, when the rich in fact pay 90% of all individual income tax in America...in most, if not all cases, those at the poverty line pay zero , that is ZERO, in income taxes already....so what is there to give back to them?" (I am an accountant...trust me on this one)
BTW, I have two memebers of my family who are "out of the closet gays"..both say it is their "choice", and not a way they were born...can I now say that ALL gays are this way???... of course not...
you may have "love" and "positive vibes" ( both liberal goobley gook nonspeak, IMO) for the world, but your knowledge of the issues is tainted, as is all of ours...
