I honestly think every single thing that bothers me can be summed up as: Idiots in general.
To be more specific:
People who walk slow.
People who drive all the way up to the end of a merge lane and then expect me to let them in.
TV "news". More specifically those who watch it and believe anything it tells them.
The people who watch my SC2 stream, act like ungrateful idiots and start screaming "nerd rage" whenever I don't say GG.
Seeing fat people pigging out. Or just people who don't give a shit about their health in general. Your cancer and heart disease is putting a massive burden on the Canadian health care system, and you should be fucking taxed for your unhealthy lifestyle.
Girls who can't put their text messaging down for more that 2 minutes. (Doesn't seem to happen with guys much).
Anyone who wears Ed Hardy, or thinks hes gonna get laid by puffing his chest out in the clubs and being an douchebag in general.
People who will deceive themselves in order to protect their own egos.
People who smoke cigarettes near doorway, smokers in general. YOU SMELL BAD, SO KILL YOURSELF SOMEWHERE ELSE. I'm sorry you tried a highly addictive drug called nicotine, don't stink up my air. Go to rehab or something if you can't quit yourself.
Unrealistic hippies. We can't just shut our entire fucking economy down and live happily, so STFU and make a contribution to something that is economically self sustaining and helps the environment.
Political correctness/paranoia of racism/discrimination. I'm sorry, but a massive portion of black people are not from fucking Africa, so I'm not going to call them African American, or African Canadian, I'm just going to fucking call them black (until I actually know where they are from), just like I call white people white, and brown people brown. Also, on this topic, my girlfriends mother works for an insurance company, and volunteered the information that Asian drivers get in way more accidents, and that they drive up everyone's insurance rates because the insurance companies can't be "racist" (They tried to charge Asian drivers more but the legislation got thrown out). So when I say Asians are bad drivers, I'm not being fucking racist, I'm making a generalization based on factual evidence. Old people are also pretty fucking bad, and people who drive on cell phones piss me the fuck off as well.
Also related to the racism topic. Any kind of celebrity who uses racial slurs to refer to other people of the same race. It's not cool, you just make yourself look like a fucking idiot, and further racial stereotypes.
Also, the piece of shit genre rap music has turned into post Y2K.
People who come to work/school when they are sick. STAY THE FUCK HOME.
People who are cheapskates. Agree with every single point you made except the part about smoking. If it's outside then a non-smoker can't say shit imo. It's not "your" air, it's "ours" first of all. And there is no way it can bother you that badly outside. Not like you are choking on it like you would of 5-6 years ago. And there is no cigarette rehab lol?
When I get smoke in my lungs I start to cough heavily and it stings in my chest. Thanks bro for smoking just at the entrance were I have to walk through or at a bus stop. And even if most people doesn't have problems like this with smoke EVERYONE and I mean EVERY none smoker, hates and thinks smoke is disgusting.
You're so kind and you really care about other people........... -.-

Unless that reason is due to an uncontrollable disease ( See Fat and Diabetes...or Thyroid problem and Fat) then you CAN and SHOULD put the whole burden on the individual because it was their damn decision in the first place.
People like to blame anyone but themselves but man I can't feel sorry for the fatass that scarfs down 20 cheeseburgers and then wonders why he's fat.
There can be psychological reasons which cant be diagnosed as well.
Alot of people have tried to blame it on the individual in a wide spectre of social problems before. And really, it's a one-dimentional solution to a three-dimentional problem. Try rehabilitating a drug addict with the "it's only your own fault"-attitude for example and GL. It's not as simple to just "chose" not to smoke, not to be fat, not to be attracted to wrong persons etc.

I agree with alot of the things you wrote, but this is a really shallow view on health problems. People have alot of reasons for abusing substances, being fat, bulemic or anorectic. You can't just put the whole burden on the individual, that's just naive. In a private health care system I wouldn't care, id say do whatever you like. The thing is that in Canada, our healthcare system is free to the public, those who live unhealthy lifestyles put an unnecessary strain on the system, increasing wait times and government spending. There have been massive concerns over how to make public health care sustainable, and the fact is that the largest strain on the system is a result of unhealthy lifestyles. All I would ask of people is to be more conscious about their health, and to try and live healthy lifestyles. There are so many people who just don't care, and as a result they get sick, burden the system, and then the rest of us have to wait hours and hours just to get some hospital care. It takes months upon months to get any kind of hospital test such as a CT scan done, simply because its so overloaded. Many Canadians who suspect they have serious problems such as cancer, will pay money out of pocket to go to the states and get tested. I think that in a Country with public health care, we have a responsibility to try and live a healthy lifestyle so as the system does not break down. If a healthy person develops a sickness, I would say that its unfortunate, but if someone whos 80lbs overweight has a stroke, I would say its negligence on the part of the individual. I feel that its simply unfair that the person born with a heart defect has to wait for a bed because there are 400 overweight people who just had heart attacks taking up the space. The preventable health problems should be prevented, rather than ignored, so that there can be better care for everyone. And regarding free health care i'm from sweden you know  But i really shouldnt talk about overweight in canada/us. Maybe it's more related to laziness and ignorance there than in sweden. I still don't think anyone choses to be obese and immobilized and smoke 60 cigarettes a day though. As i mentioned earlier bulemics is a burden on my tax financed health care system as well, but yet nobody would tell them to "just quit putting your fingers down your throat its unhealthy". So yes it's a shame that 400 overweight people with stroke occupies hospital beds. But i'd rather get angry with the structure of the society rather than on the individuals themselves. They're just the symtoms of something bigger that is wrong. Fast food culture in the US / shitty school food in the UK, etc etc.
I agree that its very much so a societal problem, but to change it, individuals need to recognize the consequences of their lifestyle choices, and to that end I really think it falls upon the individual. People don't choose to be obese or smoke 60 cigarettes a day, but they do choose to eat a burger instead of a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with no mayo and a fruit salad, and they do choose to try cigarettes. There are consequences to these choices when you make them daily for years on end.

Yeah and if things where that simple there wouldn't be any social problems at all!
Obese persons dont want to be obese
Obese persons know cheeseburgers don't make them thinner
Smokers know about health risks
etc etc
That's what's interesting

Agreed, if you grew up when the doctors were telling you to do it, and got yourself addicted, then I have some sympathy when you get lung cancer. Not so much if you started when everyone knew it was terrible for you.

If its happening frequently then you should just stop right from the beginning and let them go. Problem solved.
