Views that you cannot stand
 

We all have views, particularly political views, that we agree with, semi-agree, or don't care for. What are some views that you absolutely cannot tolerate?

PRO CHOICE....
 

c'mon... you asked for it

The view that your view is better than everyone else's and that everyone should base their actions according to what you think.

This thread will self-destruct in 30-seconds.

Amen, sister! :D

You are such an instigator. :p

The "I did it when I was younger but now that I am older and wiser it is evil incarnate" view.

i cannot stand the "holier than thou" pro-life people who walk around my campus with their signs and literature. if i just walk by them and don' take one of the pamplets, they yell at me "God's going to remember that" or "You'll burn in hell for going against god's word" or "god has no mercy for baby killers"

HELLO!!! You don't even know where i stand, I just didn't want your literature! geez!

Aw, what did I say to tick you off this time? Geez, us old guys have to be so careful about what we say!

I'll go along with ActungBaby.

Actually DA, I was talking about Al Gore and Aerosmith. Hee hee.

Oh. Don't think I'd vote for either of them if the election were held tomorrow.

Pro-lifers who are only concerned with saving white babies - but who never say anything to black women going into abortion clinics.

Oh, and pro-life men. In the words of Whoopi Goldberg, "Don't want a woman to have an abortion? Then shoot your d***."

But as long as they keep out of my way (and I keep out of theirs), nothing riles me much.

(Edited because the towel wrapped around my wet hair is obviously a bit too tight if I can't tell the difference between pro-choicers and pro-lifers)

SISTER, THANK YOU! (wild applause!)

As far as the fellas go...as soon as they can get pregnant, then they can talk to me!

Also people that try to shove their religious beliefs down your throat.
"(Insert name of deity) is the ONLY way"

Yeah whatever!

Oh yeah also I can NOT tolerate racism and bigotry (no matter who the guilty party is)


If only closed minds would come with closed mouths!

I can't stand when people are jerks to another person for no reason. I'm only mean to people when they're mean to me first and if everyone followed my lead the world would be a much more peaceful place :)

Counting down until this thread is closed....I am guessing bottom of page 2 or 5 posts after cashmoney posts on here...any takers?

And an Amen to you...

I'd add those those who try to make race an issue in everything.

I'll take that bet - I actually was waiting to see cash or rudey's input

this has already been mentioned, but the view of "since you don't believe what I believe, you are stupid and don't have any sense"


and


my oh so favorite of the United States - "democracy is for EVERYONE, lets rid the world of dictators as we see fit!" why is that we ousted Saddam after YEARS of his tolatarian (sp?) rule, but we didn't lift a finger when (*his name escapes me at the moment*) whats his name in Africa - Uganda? commited mass genocide against hundreds of thousands - if not millions - of his own people in the late '70s early '80s? thats right, Uganda doesn't have oil.....

So we shouldn't have lifted a finger for both? You make no sense. Perhaps maybe one also had strategic importance to us. At the end of the day, Africa is just one losing continent and in 20-50 years most of the middle east will be as well.

And stop using my name in a group with others like cash and champ. It's getting annoying nurse girl.

-Rudey
--Thanks.

I can't stand it when people say (about America), "If you don't like it, leave."

I couldn't agree more. The nation was built so that people could disagree with the government. That's why we have a Bill of Rights, including the First Amendment.

MereMere, do you mean Idi Amin? Thankfully, he's no longer with us.

Yes Idi Amin, thank you Delt Alum - he passed away last year correct? Thank goodness he isn't with us anymore....he was a scary, scary man.

He's been out of power since the Carter years. But you're right, he was a terrible guy.

yeah I knew he only was in power for a short time. He was one example, I could think of off hand, for scary men in power across the world in comparison to Saddam.

I don't like it when people tend to believe that if there are more people who believe what they do then it's automatically assumed to be the "right" thing to believe. SO annoying, and obviously not true at all! Many situations there just simply is no clear cut right and wrong and it's up to every person to decide for themselves. I just don't understand why some people can't see that?!?! :mad: :confused:

I can't stand when people want to get into other people's business when they don't know the whole situation-particularly pro-lifers and abortion or the right to die. It isn't your life so get the hell out of mine.

Yes! Or the view that your view is the ONLY existing view possible.

I can't stand it when people preach tolerance (especially for THEIR personal viewpoint) then spew a bunch of bigoted vitriol against people who disagree with them.

I REALLY can't stand it when some people are so vehement about their own opinion on an issue that they intimidate others who disagree into being silenced. It's worse when they don't realize how hateful they're being.

Most of all I hate it when some people think think that just because they like to vent their spleen on a message board, others should keep their "mouths closed" or "get the hell out of my life" or something else equally hateful.

I can't stand it when people bash Catholics or anyone who's pro life, or even politically conservative if they don't understand "the whole situation" behind their viewpoint.

Wow, that did feel good!
:cool:

read the sig line

Or those that politicized everything. Also those that like to simply categorized everything. The world is more complicated the good and evil.

I hate when people believe EVERYTHING they hear and see on TV or read in the newspaper! I'll just leave it at that....

aj

This isn't really a view...more of a pet peeve related to my view....

I really really hate it when people litter.

So I guess the view that I cannot stand is one of pro-littering.

I absolutely cannot stand that people play "Guess my politics" all the time. I have so many clients at work who assume that since I'm from a particular suburb and go to a Catholic school, I must be a die-hard Republican. I don't assume that everybody who wears Birkenstocks in the snow is in the Green party. :p

Ok here's a view I can't stand: You're supposed to act certain ways/like certain things/think certain thoughts because of your gender, age, race, etc.

Idi Amin - yep. The political orientation globally was much different back then. Uganda at the time was firmly Soviet-backed. Invading then could have led to a much larger conflict...at least that was the cold war logic of the time. The U.S. was just out of the debacle of Vietnam, and that also played a part where the military was trying to reform itself.

What really roils me is where did Amin end up when he finally (and recently) die? Our so-called "friends" of Saudi Arabia put him up in exile. Grrrrrrr........

Views I cannot stand:

The view that any black person who is not a Democrat MUST indeed be a sell out to their race

The belief that if you don't tolerate a particular form of behavior, you're a bigot, racist, homophobic etc..

The belief that Black people can't be racist

The belief that single mothers can do just as good as..or a better job as a FATHER and MOTHER.

The belief that God let all kinds of bad stuff happen in the world...but at the same time wanting to keep God and his word out of all facets of everyday life i.e. school, the workplace and marriage

The belief that Islam is a religion of peace

The belief that hollywood movies affect children the same as gangsta rap music

Dionysus my post might fit more under radical and controversial views!!:eek:

Oh and also...

The view that America is twisted, cruel, contradictory and every other negative thing folx can say about this country.....and my response is.... why don't u move! I will personally come and help you pack your bags!!!

Which is a lot like, "America, love it or leave it," which I think flies in the face of all of the good freedoms upon which the government was founded.

I don't like people who put the US down for the hell of it, but the right to disagree and make those disagreements known are rights protected by the First Amendment of our Bill of Rights.

Our forefathers came here so they could exercise those rights.

The thread is about views you dont like...not about the people you don't like.

And what exactly "flies in face of the good freedoms upon which the government was founded?" The fact that I can state what views I can't stand on the message board?? Or the fact that I'm saying if this is country is so terrible that people should move instead of staying in this so-called terrible place??

I am totally with you there!!!!!!!


I also dont like the views of Al Franken and friends..........yep.

I'll help them pack the bags too!!!!! :)

Stuff like that really ticks me off........
