My point is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, some people see art in a heap of stones, others see it in a painting. Therefore everything is art and nothing is art. I'm not trying to force my taste in anything on anyone. In fact, this annoys me for the exact reason that people who do not think X is art try to force their opinion on someone else.Yes, but art is all about taste too. Its like saying "IF LIL WAYNE IS MUSIC THAN SHIT FALLING SPLATTERING ON THE STREET IS MUSIC. MUSIC DOESN'T EXIST." You hate when people force their musical opinions on others, but yet you force your opinions of art on others. | ||

Do you do cartwheel's and flips like the chinese players do at the olympics or w/e? | ||

But anyway, let's quit this as this is not the place for this. You won't convince me anyway, as that is exactly what I'm annoyed about, trying to convince someone about something that is completely subjective.You are wrong. Not everything is art and some things are art. Art is not subjective. | ||

I didn't know about religion until i was 10 and even then it sounded like a fairy tale rather than something legit. It grinds my gears mostly because every hyper religious person i've met has never shown any proof. If you're going to be religious, don't share it with the world. Keep it to yourself. After all, it's what YOU, not everyone else, believes in. The thing that grinds my gears happens to be atheists that love to make it clear to the entire world that they are atheists, God is a lie and anyone who thinks otherwise is a stupid fucking idiot who is simply 'close-minded'. They parade their views around any time that it is possible and scoff at anyone who mentions religion who is not atheist them self. It pisses me off ten times more than most radical religious peeps because atheists amidst of their ramblings always ensure to make it clear that they are more intelligent than those petty religious fools. The whole point of most religions is faith, if you need proof in that is in some kind of a visible form (E.G. they wave their cross around like a wand and Jesus appears and you chat with him for a while), then you are not looking at it the right way. If you find this to be silly, that is OK, as I am not going to be trying to 'convert' you to anything. If you're going to be an atheist, don't share it with the world. Keep it to yourself. After all, it's what YOU, not everyone else, believes in. | ||

That happened in one point of one game of one match ever and both players were kinda messing around because it was pretty clear at that point in the match who was going to win and that the other guy didn't really have a chance to catch up. so no, I don't | ||

While I agree that looking at every opportunity to sprout your atheist dogma is obnoxious, the same applies to sprouting of religious dogma. Which brings me to: It pisses me off ten times more than most radical religious peeps because atheists amidst of their ramblings always ensure to make it clear that they are more intelligent than those petty religious fools. I don't see this as any worse than people claiming those who don't believe in their particular brand of faith are going to hell, or somehow havn't seen the light and need to be shown the way. How if they will only accept the love then their lives will be better. Which quite frankly, is what 'most radical religious peeps' are all about, the only reason I could see why this would be worse a personal bias towards the basis of 1 set of ideals against another. If you're going to be an atheist, don't share it with the world. Keep it to yourself. After all, it's what YOU, not everyone else, believes in. Again, I see nothing wrong with sharing it with the world, or at least to the extent that it is no more wrong than sharing any religion with the world. Being atheist is not something to be ashamed of and to be hidden from society, it is pretty much as valid a religious point of view as any. I think what you mean is 'don't obnoxiously push it into everyone's face'. Because those who feel the need to try and 'convert people to atheism' are no better or worse than the religious radicals that they usually profess to detest. | ||

One guy at my office walks around the cubicle area after lunch brushing his teeth. He's already brushed in the bathroom with toothpaste but he walks around still brushing away with just the toothbrush for another ten minutes. Everybody hates it. Christians that ring my doorbell at 8am on satur-fucking-day morning trying to convert me. The one day a week I get to sleep in. I aint even hung over or recovering from a night out because I don't go out that much. I just want to sleep late once a week. Go be christian somewhere else.

Now you know how it feels for non-christians in western first world countries that have to deal with devout christians telling them they're wrong and all that every time the subject is brought up. | ||

Idiots my age. I swear I can't have an intelligent conversation with anyone without COOL STORY BRO or sorry bro dont get mad, Actually no. I cant even INITATE an intelligent conversation. I'm only 17 but that doesn't matter I just wish I had someone with, so retarded I swear. Another thing, someone who thinks education is everything, studying all day and night long. Thats not what lifes about, you should do things you enjoy. He even thinks hes better than everyone because he's been getting the top grades, but no. Thats retarded, you shouldn't call anyone stupid just because they haven't been getting the grades. I dont think thats what intelligence is all about I think intelligence is all about personal and practical thinking. I seriously swear they think they're the fucking most brilliant thing since Einstein. Well let me tell you son, Einstein only got grades at University. ARGH I SWEAR THESE KIDS MY AGE, ARJGAOEGJOIAEJHOIATJHOIAJH I CANT WAIT TILL I CAN FIND SOMEONE TO HAVE A GREAT DISCUSSION ABOUT ISSUES THAT MATTER NOT ABOUT FUCKING PHONES, CARS, GIRLS. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM VERY WELL sigh. | ||

Judgemental people. So many things would be so much better if there weren't so many people who think they have the right to judge others. Sneering, self righteous cunts. Fuck em. Case in point FUCK YOU JEREMY KYLE. Who the fuck do you think you are. My mum watches this and I was like 'all he does is tell other people he doesn't know how to live their lives like he's some kind of fucking christ figure'. 'Well somebody has to sort these people out!' came the shrill reply. Yeah good job mother, way to make yourself feel like your better than 'these people' every morning. The worst part is she actually believes he gives a shit about the people who come on his show and he's not just raking in the money and laughing, while pulling worried faces that'd look badly acted in a fucking soap opera. | ||
