The word “sheep” used in reference to people who happen to have an opinion which agrees with a large group of people. They are not always “sheep”, sometimes they are finding common ground with a group or affiliation. Probably not yours. Such an over used and juvenile word. Reminds me of the playground when kids picked a nasty nickname for a classmate, hissed at them relentlessly with it, and it never wore off.
“Drama”. I am sick to death of that word and with the vast realms of descriptions of which our language consists, I am certain we can find a new word. The thesaurus provides many options: http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/drama
Why do people key the cars of people they don’t even know? I don’t think we should do that to people who have wronged us (I will cut some slack though) but to randomly deface or destroy another’s property, just for kicks, repulsive.
People who cheat on either their significant other or spouse. It is sometimes forgivable but never ok to do while kept a secret from the victim. People separate, that’s cool. But while living like a happy couple and sneaking around, picking up nasty diseases and bringing them home to your unsuspecting love, so disgusting.
Not selling beer in the state of Arkansas on Sundays. I can’t even type fast enough to express the master stupid of this law. It is endlessly pointless and then there is the state revenue, drunkers driving even further to fetch booze out of state, doesn’t stop anyone from drinking, teaches no lessons…. I have to stop before my had starts to do that Linda Blaire head spin….
Not allowing your children to get dirty. Ever. Kids need to get dirty. Adults need to get dirty. And I needn’t explain why we need to be exposed to the occasional germ.
Parents who are not at all involved in the emotional or financial support of their offspring, by their own choosing. I cannot imagine not caring for my child’s needs. And no matter if anything ever happened that myself and husband went our separate ways, I have absolutely no doubt that he would continue to support and parent our son. Not because he had to but because he would absolutely desire to because he loves him.
Outlawing abortion. Personally, I detest the act of abortion simply because you don’t want to have a baby. I fully understand making this choice for health reasons where your or the life of your child is jeopardized… there are always circumstances that are beyond my judgment but incest, rape and the like are absolutely, in my mind, no good reason to end a life. Ever. Having never been faced with this decision all the way I stand in full support of folks who make this choice for their lives. No, I don’t have to agree with them, but abortion is a choice. Outlawing it will only endanger the lives of women who seek the illegal kind and that alone is a good enough reason to make it legal in every state.
People who are invited into your home only to leave with something that belongs to you or your family or friends. Thieves are cruel. They threaten and violate your life and sense of safety. They also violate your trust of your friends. I love my friends and trust them. I can not remember the last time a friend has stolen from me. This makes me happy.
I am endlessly exasperated by individuals who fail to HEAR what you are saying and INTERPRET it however they want to make you look like an asshole when all you are doing is trying to communicate. Please listen to what I am telling you and stop mangling it into some completely different scenario that supports your current opinion of me.
I don’t understand why we all speak our opinions as if they are fact. I do it often, I can admit that. I am flawed. I’m not alone in that but some days we should look at ourselves with the same perceptions we impose on others. I strive to do that, even as it stings, reduces me to the reality that is my own fault and ultimately grows me as a person.
