Irritations

[Herlock Sholmes]

People who lack self-awareness.

Perhaps I could add - people who appear to think that certain topics are a closed shop and that ‘newbies’ should stay away?

[caz]

People who have an exaggerated sense of their own importance and who believe that they are some kind of oracle to be treated with deference. The same people who do things like make a statement in a post which is then proven to have been an invention then they scuttle off without having the integrity of acknowledging the fact. The kind who sees themselves as existing in an exalted position and who will stew for days on a perceived slight until they just can’t help commenting.

Those kinds of people.

People who lack self-awareness.

People who never grow up.

[Tani]

People who don't like 80s music.

Don't come to my house

[Scott Nelson]

Johnny-come-latelies who want everyone to provide them with answers to all their questions, then get mad when you can't be bothered and disappear when the boredom sets in.

Tell me that the world isn’t going insane and that we aren’t breeding swathes of pointless people doing pointless things…

I'd love to Herlock, but unfortunately......

[Tani]

Everything being diagnosed as 'anxiety', despite the known fact that heart problems are... not... in fact... anxiety.

How has the human race come to this?

Turn the TV off?

A reasonable suggestion

[chubbs]

Endless TV advertisement after advertisement about illness and dying and funerals. I’m sick of seeing them. It’s depressing.

[c.d.]

Professional athletes who make more money in one season than I will ever see in my lifetime bitching that they are underpaid and want a new contract.
Yeah, my heart goes out to you buddy.

[Abby Normal]

People who bring young children to demonstrations. I don't care how passionately you feel about abortion, gun control, climate change etc. or what your position is, young children should not be out there waving signs when they have no clue as to the actual issue.

bingo cd
plus theyre putting them in harms way and probably traumatizing them. it makes me sick whenever i see it.

Have you heard of the Riddle of Epicurus?

If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able
Then He is not omnipotent.

If He is able, but not willing
Then He is malevolent.

If He is both able and willing
Then whence cometh evil?

If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?

I just love it, our ancestors were pretty smart.

yes they were. the ancient greek philosophers, mathematicians and political leaders and warriors were amazing.

however epicurus was active during the pagan years of greek mythology so is this god stuff an anachronism? they beleived in gods.

but ive seen this argument before ... the ole if god is omnipotent can he make a rock big enough he cant lift lol.

ive heard a beautiful quote against your saying . i forgot who said it.

" The greatest gift god gave his creation was free will."
