Emotions:

I find emotions, from a scientific perspective, to be fairly meaningless except for the fact that they reaffirm certain concepts that are already buried in human's subconscious (such as "this feels good, I should continue to do this" or "this feels bad, I shouldn't continue to do this"). Except in the cases where listening to emotions simply keeps you alive, I see them more as distractions and hindrances to leading a scientific, logically-lead life, which bothers me. The main reason to listen to emotions, from what I can tell, is to live happily, which isn't the point, nor a necessity for, life. It's not necessarily a problem for people to live in this way, but it's a way of life that has no appeal to me.

Valentines Day:

A holiday based around the conceptual idea of true love, which is quite possibly one of the most destructive, hurtful, and in my opinion, evil, concepts in existance, merely for the sake of card companies like Hallmark being able to make money off of it. Utterly repulsive, in my opinion, terrible concept. The only reason February 14th has any meaning to me is because it's my mom's birthday.

I'm surprised she didn't just add "all grown-ups" to that list of "dislikes", and you can bet that she thinks anyone over 20 is an idiot and is very confident that all the knowledge in the entire universe is hers! Scary thing is, if she doesn't wind up doing something entirely stupid and hurting a lot of other people as you suggested, she'll probably grow up to be a successful politician, since that's something that ticks ME off-people who hang onto that "I hate(insert nouns and adjectives of your choice here)" mentality that they cultivate at this age, and then try to force it on everyone else when they find themselves in positions of power.

Its like shes trying to be a lame version of Marlon Brando.

"What're you rebelling against, Johnny?"
"Whaddya got?"

I hate the type of people who declare themselves to be so bada$$ but wont put their money where their mouth is. If you wont throw a punch then dont take a stand, because the other team isn't going to hit you first and get slapped with an assault charge. Cowards way out. At least have the common decency to make it Self Defense on the part of the other guy.

Well said, Partymember and pitbulllady. That's pretty much the way I feel about it in regards to her. At the same time on that matter, it disturbs me to see people apparently feel ANY culture is objectively superior to another culture, especially when that culture is a culture different from your own and you find yourself unable to take pride in your own culture.

Now, I'm not the most patriotic fellow in the world, but I'd be lying if I didn't feel SOMETHING for this country (whether that's objectively good or bad, I'm uncertain). I love the cultures of other countries, but I enjoy the culture I was raised with the most, and I suppose it just irks me to see someone not only proclaim one culture to be objectively greater than another, but to forsake their own given culture in favor of another. I don't think there's a problem with some dissent against your own culture, but to say you hate it....I feel like there's something wrong there.

And bravo on your statement about making a stand, Partymember.

anyone ever play a game where you spend forever leveling up and doing tasks to further the game along, and then die when you are getting close to a place where you can rest and save?

the feeling sucks. :(

However, I will argue that Japan is roughly as insane as California.

For example, can YOU tell me which character in this picture is male and which is female?
But California is REALLY INSANE! Sorry if I replied too late, but, There are idiots everywhere. ;) That's what I say. ;)


Early bedtimes tick me off.

Agreed... Man, it's so easy to find about 100+ of these online without even trying. My pet peeve? Teen girls exactly like this who literally, word for word, say "Don't make me mad or I will be your worst nightmare! That's a promise!"

My worst nightmare is being covered head to toe in vomit, not some internet 15-year-old with too much makeup and a superiority complex.

The cyborg is female. The kid is male.

NOW tell me that Japan and California aren't similar in insanity!

While we're on the topic of 15-year-old girls on the internet, who have too much make-up and a superiority complex(which is usually a thin cover for an INFERIORITY complex), that reminds me of one of MY pet peeves-overzealous, extremely possessive teen fangirls! I bet Antgirl and Vampyre will know one of whom I refer right now, who is so insane over a particular male character-Wilt-that if anyone posts artwork or fanfiction on DA featuring him with a female character, either from the show or an OC, she will often spam their site with profanity-laden threats, simply because the female character isn't HER. She has threatened to kill DA members, and has threatened to kill people on her web journal, too, simply because they expressed finding Wilt attractive. She's got a little "clique" of friends who support her and are apparently her classmates, who join her in her attacks against other users on DA or other sites. She's like a real-life human version of Berry, just nowhere near as smart or resourceful! She's actually only 13, though.
