You know what really grinds my gears?!!

[ghost99]

I can't stand all of those nickolodean cartoons. Whatever happened to the days when a cat pissed off a mouse, and the mouse flattened his face with an iron?! In cartoons these days they talk it out. Ridiculous! So tell me, what grinds your gears? This, perhaps?

[cyress8]

How lame most of the games thats coming out is grinding my gears. Im tired of the more graphics less gameplay motto the game devs are using. 50 bucks for a 10 hour game with barely any replay WOW! *Goes back and plays grandia 1 and Lunar 2*

[Komataguri]

Anyone else find it ironic that the last generation grew up with super violent cartoons, and the generation now is supposedly more violence prone?


Anyone notice the more repressed and censored we get with the lack of outlet for our animalistic instincts, the greater the increase in crime?


Video games and violent cartoons/movies do not warp children and make them psychopaths....Its just the opposite, they provide a checkvalve that allows that release that would otherwise be spent in a more unhealthy manner.


Its just beurocrats need something to ***** about, and Jack Thompson isn't helping any with his ignorance.

[Slayerjammer]

How most kids today all about graphics for games and don't care much for old school games.

How people who don't signal when they turn or switch lanes.

People who are about to miss their exit and breaks suddenly in the fast lane to cut like 4 lanes just to make their exit.

Another one is when I can't find the droids i'm looking for.

[thepeanut135]

Yea it's seriously annoying when you're waiting on an oncoming car so you can make a right turn, only to find that the other car is turning onto the road you are on. Use your turn signals people!

[ghost99]

We are supposed to be talking about what really grinds our gears!

[FenrisLoki]

What grinds my gears is too much gasolene and too little pressure on the clutch.

Seriously-ish, though, what bugs me most is how so many movies and games are nothing more than sequels or remakes. I like Lord of the Rings, yeah, but BE FREAKING CREATIVE instead of MOOCHING OFF OF SOMEONE ELSE!!!

I'll bet that most of us are beginning to sound like our parents.

[BakaRanger]

you know what grinds my gears.
how some anime fans go around dissing american cartoons say shit about them and stuff, i'm like if it weren't all of those guys you think you'd of come across anime.
+ anime ain't all that i mean come on when you see a guy blush and saying shit like "etto ammo" a couple hundred times, and girls blushing for no reason and going after some geek and then you have to wait 26 eps for a conculsion you get a little bit pissed.
billy and mandy, invader zim, dexters lab, simpsons, family guy, justice league are all dam good show so don't go thinking your so above them because your just up yourself.

And one more thing japanese porn. that shit sucks. when i here people say how much better it is than american and the western type of porn i friggin burn up.

1/ the girls are like friggin forest don't get me wrong having hair is good, cheese and egg are good too but you ain't gonna have a bucket load now are you.
your trying to tell me they can make hyper advanced phones and awesome computers but you can make a razor that can cut pubic hair oh please.

2/ the quality of the porn is very ameteur like, come on america does this stuff but they make an effort and the noise the girls make was cute at first but then they sound like they were being raped come on throw in a little "ooh and ahh".

3/ the men have small dick im supried the women feel anything. sometimes i stop myself from laughin because the women use 2 fingers, 2 friggin finger to wank them off thats how small they are.

4/ last but by no means lease censor that's plain an simply gay,it takes all the fun out of everything, if it's porn then your not missing, but hentai that's a different thing lots of hentai go uncame too because of censoring.

one more thing that grinds my gears how come good hentai take so long/never gets to be uncensored while piece oh crap get threw, i'm still wait on "bible black 2 and discipline".

well i feel so much better after gettin that off my chest...rantings go for the soul.

one more thing power rangers rock, that rite i said power rangers big whoop wanna fight about it.
power rangers and mechas rock like dangaioh, godannar, gigantor and gravion. evangelion thinks it's all that but it confuses it's self and the views.
gundam sucks apart from one that was called "8th' something for me "gundam wing" killed it for me what kind of guy good or bad tells a girl " i will kill you" when she invites him to her party i'll tell you a total jack ass that who...ok this time i'm done.

"but BE FREAKING CREATIVE instead of MOOCHING OFF OF SOMEONE ELSE!!!"

you know wat grinds my gears when people start going off on people who make harry potter and lord of the rings movies and say they ain't creative dude these films are good because the people who did it were creative and had visions about what they wanted, + originality does can't just pop up everywhere, first you see what's out there then you say hmm you know what and then that how it's born if orginal was common it would be like paper thin women and teen pregnacy.

one more thing i thinki seen something like this in family but then again i been seeing evil monkey alot... this time i'm done no more that it.

[Murrowboy]

Family Guy Justice league... simpsons yesssss... He was talking about how nickoleon cartoons piss him off!!!!! I hate nick also and I don't hate american cartoons.. Does yu-gi-oh piss people off ?? I consider that more american then japanese now that it's sooooooo americianized.. but whatever.... Some american cartoons are somewhat orginal... Most anime gets prodictable after you watched several..

[axelmonster]

What really gets my warmachine rolling is people not using directional lights in the traffic. It gets so much on my nerves sometimes that I often consider running the bastards down, pushing em off the road, ripping them out of their cars and beat em to death with a rusty spoon.

Oh and splinters, those are annoying.

[sam_Red]

white ppl acting black grind my gritts?

[Sasguy]

white ppl acting black grind my gritts?

Yeah I agree, But what really really grinds my gears is people that think you have too act your race, like when they walk up too you theres some sacred scroll that tells you that if you are this color (or "nationality") you have too act like this or that its absolute bullshista. People should act acordingly to where and how they grew up and be true to themselves.

Oh and people that want too correct your Grammer and spelling all the time like there perfect themselves mind the really chedders my cheese :mad:

[Draco888]

People keeping *****ing about the economy,politics,society,strangers.

HOW F*CKING HARD IS IT TO NOT NEARLY KILL PEOPLE.

I hate it when I see 7-12 year olds walking into Game (British EB) with their mums, and picking GTA:SA off the shelves, and the parents just don't care. But that's hypocrisy, since i did the same thing with GTA3...I just hate seeing 7-12 year olds in gaming stores...they just don't appreciate things...

[jokermausland]

When people say all subs are better than dubs. Some of the original animes have the most annoying voice acting.

What really pisses me off sometimes is some girls/women that think that every guys' trying to ****in hit on them. I am not even looking in their direction and their giving me this look like "try harder".. I mean seriously I was walking some dumb ***** home from my class because she asked me to! then in the middle of a conpleetely different convosatation she's like "I have a boyfriend... " (said it like, don't hit on me)... I asked some stupid ***** for the HW and she looks at me with this penetrating look.. what should I say next?? You wanna ****? When I pet a cat at a store my girlfriend's like "STOP! you'll hurt it.." Then when I ask this girl that I don't mind being friends with, she's in love with 1 of MY friend who is a total asshole but that's what I love about him. He really treats some women the way they deserve.. like CRAP, which apparently is better then the way I AM TREATING THEM Accoridng to them!.

I wonder if I just have some weird affection towards women that make them HATE me when I am walking in their direction... No offense to lisa hayas or any of the other women on hongfire but these things just tick me off..

[WanFeiLwong]

Not only does changing gears without holding the clutch down grinds gears,
but I wonder how many of you would agree that filler episodes does the same.

i was going through the site and i found a cute bunny and it said paste it onto your signiture to help world domination or something well i went to look back for it and i couldn't find it!!! thats always the case, i always look at something and i think 'cool' then when i really need it i think ' damn where the hell is it'. ok that isn't really a thing to get mad about but small things tick me off the most :mad:

Messy McDonald's burgers. You insist on throwing your stupid commercials in my face advertising these 'sculpted-from-stone' perfect hamburgers and then when I get my Big Mac, the box is filled with shredded lettuce like the Big Mac is some fragile treasure. Is it really that hard for your pimply pre-pubescent employees to keep the toppings on the burger? Has your company become so equal opportunity with their hiring process that you're ONLY hiring retards? SERIOUSLY. I want my Big Mac to SHINE next the time I come in there.

[FireStormdm]

Ya know what really grinds my gears?

Bad movies you waste $8+ to see. I mean it looks good in the trailers, but when you shell out the money to go see it with all the expenses of buying popcorn and/or soda and whatnot...you end up dissappointed. I mean it pisses me off! That's why I now usually wait for reviews on movies before I plan on watching them.

[bunnywink]

2) People who get those white crusty things at the sides of their mouth. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT FROM??? Why are you frothing at the mouth? Are you hungry? Do you need to drink some water? Who would allow themselves to get that thirsty? And if there's nothing you can do about it, for the love of Jesus don't yawn! Nobody wants to see that elasticky effect. I heard it might be because people dont swallow enough. WTF? Do you like the taste of your own saliva? Do you let it build up to see how much you can get in there before you have to swallow?!! Seriously, do you wake up in the morning and think, "Holy crap, I better not swallow. I COULD DIE." You're not going to die! And your homemade cum shots are grossing me out. SWALLOW.

lol I think all my gear grinders have been described... oh except this one that recently developed. When i went back to Dubai (in the United Arab Emirates) for my xmas holiday it was the first time I realised that car honking really really annoys me. In Dubai honking your car horn is almost a national sport because people will honk at each other for absolutely no reason. Lights just turned green 2 seconds ago!!! HONK!!! A pedestrian walks across a zebra crossing!!! HONK!!! etc etc. I'd love to jam that horn up where the sun don't shine.

Edit: oh oh another one! Souped up cars that had no right to be souped in the first place. Save your money and get a decent car!!!

oooooooo A rant room.

You know what really grind my gears RELATIONSHIPS!

I'm sick of it because that's what everyone talks about. well if you ask me Relationships is like going into slavery. Think of it guys. You're doing good, working, doing what you want and soon as you lock with a girl and start a relationship it's OVER. She slows you down your paychecks goes rent, Girlfriend and food (If the girlfriend hasn't tooken all your money) you'll forever be broke and you become a bank to the woman. I say why buy her something she can buy her damn self she can get her ass a job but no she wants to use you and she save her money.

My thing is Men are dogs and Females are cats. I'll explain it

Men = Dogs: Loyal, mens best friend, pretective, loud, VERY independent and always listen to what is told (Theres more but didn't want to list them all)

Females = Cats: Dependant little ****ers, spoiled, loyal to selected ones that pays attention to them, attention hogs, very sensitive, always wanting something, bothers you in bad moments, lazy (Theres more again I'm lazy)

Think about it you're doing fine in your own world getting what you want in life agressivly, working the good life with no drama then suddenly pop the woman comes along and you have to talk to them, be there for them, buy them things to keep them happy, understand them and all this crap creating drama in the mans world and if they are not happy they cheat on you creating more drama on your world because another man is banging your girl on your bed.


So I say Screw relationships though I never been in one. I'm a swinger :P

[ribbons]

when my people go through my mail and my papers and throw things that are important out. if they want them moved or off the table they need to tell me that they are there! i havent seen any of my bank statements in 4 months... :mad:

also, those anoying songs that are played that have little kids singing and they are all semi-tones off. seriously, there are kids that can sing in tune with each other. its not cute, just nausiating.

oh! and those ****tards at college admission offices that decide to NOT tell you that there is more **** that you need to do on applications after you have done all of thier requierments. ****faced batards deserve to have electric ****ing cattle prods shoved up thier asses....

And my latest hate in the world is Uwe Boll! World's worst director. Every single one of his films piss me off. They don't even deserve straight to DVD or even VHS release. They should just burn the original film reel, or just dip it in Holy Water (since such abominations would probably just burst into flames anyway).

I like the Sensa pens. They have the most comfortable grip of any pen I've ever used, and usually excellent balance (though a bit heavy overall). I have the black rollerball and the black/gold fountain versions. I've used them for several years, and haven't given a thought to getting anything else.
Unforunately, I don't see them selling the rollerball version anymore, just the ballpoint and fountain.

:lol: BF1942, Desert combat.. Ah the good old days. Now its all kids teamkilling because they found it in the 5 dollar bin.

[wyze]

ppl who can't think up original usernames so they use the exact name of an anime character(or any existing character for that matter) then tarnish their reputation! don't you really hate seeing trollers with sn's of your fav characters?

edit: and no this isn't directed toward anybody in particular especially not our very own lisa hayes. although i always prefer the use of original or semi original sn's the handle as well as character of lisa hayes seems to just fit in naturally with her role as a mod!

[AFUFO]

my SN is extremely original =)

Long long ago, In the days of Winmx..I once set foot into a chatroom
"Anime Ichigo"
Fast forward a few weeks, Someone was joking "Unidentified Flying Otaku, Since i was talking about UFOs, So my short name was UFO, Then a year or so later, I added Anime Freak onto it, Becoming AnimeFreakUFO for my AIM screen name(Still using it), Then 2 years ago i turned it into AFUFO For a short nickname.. :lol: Now i go by AFUFO Alllll over the place.

How lame most of the games thats coming out is grinding my gears. Im tired of the more graphics less gameplay motto the game devs are using. 50 bucks for a 10 hour game with barely any replay WOW! *Goes back and plays grandia 1 and Lunar 2*

*snifff* .... cant resist .... *hugs Cyress8*

I love you for this man, I feel the same way. I'm a turn and real time strategy player..or rather..I WAS :mad:
Because lately 99.99 % of the games they release are all flashy special effects and video fragments and such...but once played, or even halfway through they lose all attraction gameplay-wise *sigh*

The last years I just look into old games, the graphics are less flashy, but they usually have great replayability :D
For those who feel the same way I suggest you check out "home of the Underdogs" its a community based arround old games and everything around them, how to get them to work etc.

I just love those classic games.

[Hijiko]

I often find myself playing more of the older games then the new ones >__>.

Anyways, I had a week off from university in which I plan to relax... nooo... a big pile of work gets dumped onto my desk and someone leaving the project group -___-. There goes my week of R&R T__T.

[MZeroX]

I'm with you guys all the way. [B][I]GAME[I][B]play is what makes a game. To hades, i condemn the graphics lovers!! .....Not to say that bad graphics rule, but a game is, in my opinion, 1. gameplay(includes battle system, movement, etc) 2. characters 3. storyline 4. replayability 5.effects(music, graphics).
Notice the location of "graphics".

[Sailor Arcana]

You know what really grinds my gears?

- When I was a kid, I really wanted to become a video game programmer. This was in the NES-SNES era... and now I'm in college, in the era where graphics are everything... it saddens me. It's like what other people before me have been saying, gameplay > graphics, but with all the gee-whiz badass-graphics consoles out there, there's not much for oldschool style games anymore... everything's gotten too complicated.

[Quince]

Halo 2 and Tetris are about the only games that I've been playing recently.
Other action games seem redundant.
What about Half Life 2? Thief 3? Prince of Persia: Two Thrones? All of these have significant action elements (well, somewhat less in Thief 3), and are certainly not redundant.

I guess there's not much original gameplay anymore, but advances in graphics can lead to new game styles (not gameplay, just variations).

As for my recent annoying gear grinding event, I hate bank reconcilations, it's bad enough that there's hunderds of cheques to go through, but not having it balance is a freaking pain T__T.

[june86]

people that get in my way. are the one's that grinds my gears.

[june86]

I would have expected "Cars that get in my way" from you. :Dits only the drivers that are going 35 on a 50MPH speed limit that gets me heated. or any wannabe racer that try's to challenge me on daylight.

[Hijiko]

I can tolerate people driving 35 on a 50 MPH speed limit, so long as they do it on the entrance and exit lanes. But the wannabe racer can be a real pain. I'll let him past me and try to stay behind him. But there were times when he slowed down and waited for me to catch up. I'll give him three chances to leave me alone quietly. After that, I'll force him to leave me alone. I'll blow his doors off and let him trail my dust for a while. Then I'll slow down and let him past me, just before I'm in line of sight of a hidden unmarked police car. Home advantage rules.

*Note to self, never get jinjin angry when she driving ^__^;*

As for driving, it's those driver that speed up and cuts in right in front of you then slows down. What's the point in that when there's space behind me >__>.

[AFUFO]

Wanna-be ricers, yeah thats definetly one

My MOTHER today, had a truckload of multch in the bed..
(lemme tell you specs first)
1998 Chevrolet K1500 silverado
Z71, 275/70 tires(Slightly shorter then stock, but wider, better for beach driving) , 350 5.7L, 4:10 gearing, Extended cab, short(6foot 6 inch) bed, Bucket seats, bench in the back,

Ok, heres the deal, Going down a main road after picking up multch, get to be first at a stoplight, a guy in an Evo-looking thing (Yellow with fancy smancy graphics, a carbon fiber looking hood), He starts revving it up next to us during the entire redlight, at the end towards green, he slowly revs it up as the green gets closer, Then at the green.. My mother decides to floor it (With a load of multch over the rear axel), RPM goes up, Rear tire spins a little bit, and off we go, We go flying ahead of mr ricer, and he ducks off into a side street a few hundred feet past light after all that revving and blasting. XD

lol, had to share my story =)
On that note, Have a 3L plymouth voyager as well with a crapload of pickup, not the 12.65 1/4 time turbo, but pretty damn spunky.
http://www.turbovan.net/van.html =D plan on getting another one once i get a stable real job =)

[june86]

people who underestimate my skills. no one underestimates my skills people who do end up getting hurt on or off streets



lol, had to share my story =)

http://www.turbovan.net/van.html =D plan on getting another one once i get a stable real job =)LOL and thats why i don't drag race. you should post stuff like this in HF- AUTOS bro its cool :kakashi: .

[YamiSouru MkIII]

ummm is that an Hallaca in your Pic AFUFO?

ahem, aside from that, i have a lot of histories, but the most recent, is when we were traveling to a remote part of this forsaken place, and Trucks of 18 or more Weels are normal transit here, we were speaking a laughing returning to the city, and suddendly a Tire exploded, the car was out of control, and we had in the rear one of those Trucks, and one in the front, it was a Sandwich, the rear truck slowed down, but did not put on the brakes or would have been worse, it was at really high speed, and the front one didnt slowed down ( the bastard), so my friend managed to slip trough in time and we were saved, thanks to my devils Luck and his Driving Skill level, ( i think he has a Takumi Level), saved us, that is the most recent Near Death Experience and cars involved.

[Vengeance]

Ok so a lot of things grinds my gears. But there are those that just takes the cake. People who borrow stuff from you and you never see it again. I mean does the word "BORROW" mean anything? And then there are those people who owe you money coz you lend them some. WTF every happen to paying you back? ( 2 people who owes me 2 Gs each.) And thats not the best part, its been almost a whole year, not a single dime, or the courtesy to say, i'm having trouble paying you back. Ugh....You try to be nice and people take advantage of you. @ssholes.
And then there's promises. Don't F'ken make promise you don't INTEND TO KEEP. And they wonder why human society is going down the drain. Thanx again @ssholes for making this place so a lovely place to live.

[tenjouten]

Let's see now...1. American cartoons- especially the nickolodeon cartoons......they freak me out
2. Bad dubbing- reminds of those old dubbed chinese movies mouths moving but no sound coming out
3. Drivers who speed up just to get in front of you, then go back down to the speed limit
4. people who blame other people when it's clearly their fault
5. people who do NOTHING but whine
6. people who DON'T TURN OFF THE STOVE WHEN THEY:RE DONE WITH IT!!!!, I swear, my friend's house was filled with gas when we left his house and came back
7...........o well, i'll thikn of more later

[jokermausland]

Another thing that really grinds my gears is when people use their race to get out of problems.

[Thyran]

Giving in to temptation on gambling sites. Not too long ago I lost a thousand in less than 5 minutes. -.-

[wiglaf]

when people associate Islam with terrorism and then they push their christian beliefs on you.

[psychopompos]

when religious types use violence to sensor people accusing them of using violence to sensor people.

[oXCloudStrifeXo]

FFXIII Versus might stay ps3 exclusive...meaning I have to go out and spend another 600 dollars to get the ps3 just to play versus

[rbp]

When the great unwashed fail to see the 'big picture' -.-

I'll play necromancy too...

[psychopompos]

when the great unwashed think they see the 'big picture'.:p

[oXCloudStrifeXo]

Juggalos...

[rbp]

when the great unwashed think they see the 'big picture'.:p

I dunno... misconceived ideas or sleep walking ignorance... least the former shows the gears turn even if its in the wrong direction...

[psychopompos]

and if they got their misconceived ideas due to simply accepting the word of another without proof?

[rbp]

Then that wouldn't really be thinking out an opinion and arriving at a misconception, rather I'd suggest it was sleep-walking ignorance again... So it is written in The Sun, so shall it be -.-

[Z9000]

You know what really grinds my gears? Arcades that can't afford new machines.

It's damn straight simple. I went to Gameworks not long ago and I found that they have Initial D Arcade Stage Version 3 as well as Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2. These versions are outdated. I still have my Maximum Tune 3 card and I never even got to use it in the English version. They like being cheap. Come on, you guys are the world's leading arcade facility. Replace them!

And another thing that really grinds my gears is the arcades in the hotel/casinos. People, the place is meant to be with adults, by adults, for adults! No kids would step in the hotel/casino with an arcade facility. An arcade facility has to be away from the hotel/casinos, so the kids will have fun. Believe me, I'm an anti-gambling activist, an anti-casino activist, and I hate both gambling and casinos. You parents should get the kids away from the casinos and let them play the video game consoles or find somewhere that is away from the hotel/casinos. Seriously, we want the arcade scene to be away from a dangerous place that involves gambling, drinking and crimes.

And that's what really grinds my gears. Back to you, Tom.

[DarkKitsumi]

What grinds my gears:
1. People who think being a geek/nerd is a bad thing. (What's wrong with it? Just because someone likes technology or something considered complex to understand doesn't mean it's a bad thing. It makes you SMART. You hear that all you simple/closed-minded technology-inept idiots? SMAAART. Say it with me.)
2. People who think that they know everything, and people who have their own opinions/views on things are wrong.
3. People who diss anime and have no problem with American cartoons, or vice-versa.

[KoushI]

the number one thing that grinds my gears is Hollywood remaking movies based off Asian movies

[Ooame]

What really grinds my gear is the danish postal service they lost my god damn animu figurine!

[6531597]

Not enough Hentai in the world.... That is all.

[Psycho Le Cemu]

How most kids today all about graphics for games and don't care much for old school games.


Hey, I would take SNES over any current day system. Period. The FF games back then were actually epic. Most of my favorite games are SNES games....only exception is DW7, which was PSX.....even that though shows graphics are nothing without gameplay and the fun factor.

DW7....how I love you.

[NinjamasterGara]

you know what realy grinds my gears, when my wife tries to drive my car cause "i'm too drunk" i am not drunk damnit its just my legs and mouth starting to dissagree with me.

[shiracld]

lawlz~!
i was wondering why'd i saw jin2's name somewhere...........
>__<

repetitive stuff and boredom grinds it well

[shcnoff]

joss whedon. why can't he just make adaptations of manga and anime instead of ripping off people's ideas and ruining them? that guy kills me.


DW7....how I love you.

good times.

[GenerationKamenRider]

YOU GUYS WANNA FUCKIN' KNOW WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS?










Not enough of this in HF.
http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i208/CloneTrooperX/images.jpg
Seriously.

[Wh1t3y3t1]

what really does my head in is lowe hats ¬¬ hate them

thats an cogs they grind my gears, get it??

ah sod you lot......... im going to KFC

[RoqueDemon]

Anyone else find it ironic that the last generation grew up with super violent cartoons, and the generation now is supposedly more violence prone?


Anyone notice the more repressed and censored we get with the lack of outlet for our animalistic instincts, the greater the increase in crime?


Video games and violent cartoons/movies do not warp children and make them psychopaths....Its just the opposite, they provide a checkvalve that allows that release that would otherwise be spent in a more unhealthy manner.


Its just beurocrats need something to ***** about, and Jack Thompson isn't helping any with his ignorance.

so true....

[DeadlyPocky]

Internet speak in real life. Pisses me off, so freaking annoying. Two of my friends constantly spew out words like Fail! Win! Lawl! Rofl! And speak in that freaking annoying tone changing voice, kinda like Microsoft Sam, they got it all from Arby n' the Ch33f or whatever. Worst stuff ever.

Also, they continuously say "U" and think it's fucking hilarious. Example conversation:
"Hey guys, whatsup?"
"U, LAWL"
"..Okay.. Anything fun over break?"
"Your mom's over break! ROFFLE, WIN!"
"Christ, can you stop?
"Can you stop failing? Jeez, what a newb"

It gets REALLY REALLY old, and REALLY REALLY fast.

[CpxAzn]

What grinds my gear is throwing my car into first without stepping on the clutch.

[Eufonius]

I hate it when most people associate hip hop with the rap u hear on the radio and TV

its always some ignorant motherfucker that hates hip hop bcuz he thinks all about bitches and hoes and making money and watever

so to set the record straight...

Hip-Hop:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHDOlyRNsMg

Rap:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=740d8sTpM7U

[OoXianghuaoO]

^ This actually really bugs me too >.<

And a warm gooey chocolate chip cookie sounds really, really good right now...

[Hesperus]

^I still can't tell what the difference between hip-hop and rap is...

Always thought hip-hop was more a dance style than a music style -shrug-

[Eufonius]

^ hip hop usually has a meaning or the rhymes are not repetitive and the lyrics actually take an effort to make if u saw the videos u can see the difference lol but mainly for me its more about the lyrics than anything

[Hesperus]

-shrug-

I'll stick to classical and romantic poetry =P

[TheHumanVapor]

-Annoying religious people who think I need to be "saved", and need to be prepared for the return of Jesus.

-Even more so I hate people in power who actually base ALL of their decisions around their religions ideals and morality, instead of around the peoples views and morals whom they're supposed to be working for anyway [seperation of church and state my ass!]

-Criminals/idiots suing people because they hurt themselves breaking into their house, or spilling coffee in their lap and the company didn't have the courtesy to say "This Shit Is Hot, If You Spill It On Your Lap It's Your Own Freakin' Problem". Today's people don't have enough dignity to actually take responcibility for their own actions, and just sue whenever they get the chance.

-Kids are getting worse. Ya that's the typical thing everybody says with every generation, but it's true. The parents aren't raising their kids, and the teachers try to pick up the slack [I don't know about other schools, but the teachers in my school are very supportive of the students, and try their hardest to instill in them the basic principles that they are blatantly not learned at home].

-Bill O'Reilly.....do I even need to explain why? He invites people on who hold different views on topics then he does, not that that is wrong, however he goes on to chew them up for their opinion, basically says they're wrong, and if they start to rationalize why their view makes sense he says "cut the mic, cut the mic". He openly shows his displeasure for gays, and liberals, and keeps a strong bias against them. He makes disdainful remarks to his guests [calling Jon Stewarts audience pot heads], and being completely obstinate when he is wrong; when Michael Moore asked him if he would send his own son/daughter to Iraq, he said he would send himself. When Micheal once again asked the question, O'Reilly continued to say he would go himself, completely dodging the question. To completely show his own stupidity, when he had Stephen Colbert on his show Stephen sarcastically treated him like he was the greatest man in news, and he ate it up! And he preaches morality, but was cought up in a sexual harrasment law suit! what a hypocrite!

-And as someone said earlier, video games and movies don't corrupt our kids and make them violent, it's just parents and politicians making up excuses for their own lack of attention to the kids. NO ONE pays attention to kids, they just decide what they THINK is wrong and try to fix THAT problem. Meanwhile our kids are walking around saying "Snitches get Stitches" [and don't even get me started on that bundle of idiocy that thrives so very much in the consciense of kids these days.]

Sorry for the wall of text :P
But that's just what REALLY grind my gears!

[Fuchsin]

^^ You and me both.

[Eufonius]

-shrug-

I'll stick to classical and romantic poetry =P

well I dont care what u listen to as long as u like it its none my business I just dont like it when ppl judge hip hop from what they hear on the radio and TV thats all :)

[Lord Zero]

Something which i really hate from religious nuts is when they end a discussion
which they are losing by saying...

"I will pray for you"

Thats really made insane with anger, i feel like i could just rip off those non-sensical
skulls and make latrines with them!!

Just when i thought than his minds are a little less clouded with faith, they had to
come with that uber bullshit !! Its so unsulting... i feel like people just dont give
a shit about logic and reason, than our centuries of science to enlighthen human
minds are been on vain...

Its a horrible feeling...
