This pretty much covers it, especially the first one. I find it so narrowed minded and offensive, even though I'm not gay. Story: Yesterday, the other aide for the teacher I'm an aide for seventh period gave two boys detention for something and was going to make them wirte the following sentence: "I will not call people or things 'gay.'" I had to thank her-- I hate when people say that to mean stupid!!!!
Everything else pretty much does it, although I do want to add irritating voices to the list (someone said that already, but I don't remember who...)
P.S. Sorry I butchered your post, kageri-- I didn't want to quote the whole thing, just parts.

It seems that to them, original ideas are beneath them.

Sorry for putting two posts right next to each other, but add this to my list, too. While I love the occassional adaptation, some things are best left alone. (I've heard that The Cavemen Show isn't doing too well in the ratings. Anyone know any numbers? Or surprised by this? <Forgive my sarcasm-- I'm feeling a little cranky right now, but I don't know why?
