to glom on to the previous coments a bit and beyond, these are all quite random.

1) Neglectful and abusive parents.

2) Fat guys shirtless, dudes, no one wants to see your gut flopping over your belly or your hairy man-boobs, if your stomach does not look like Jason Statham's, at the least, put on a tank top.

3) Carmakers cost cutting and downgrading the material quality and performance of their most recent cars, offenders 2012 Civic, 2012 VW Passat, 2011 VW Jetta.

4. Circular discussion, when a couple of people go back and forth over the same conclusions endlessly, aka a p__________ng contest.

5) Rudeness-do not like it online, do not like it real life.

6) "Willfull ignorance" its ok to be ignorant, we all are at one time or another, but to ignore overwhelming evidence or refuse to learn anything new, thats different.

7) A know this one will get me in hot water. I really get ticked when Politicians, The media, talk shows talk about "Budget Cuts" in Washington. It is the biggest and yet most readily accepted lie going, there have been no budget cuts in many years. What is being described is a reduction from a baseline not from an absolute measure so in effect we have less of a Spending Increase than was planned last year.

Try that kind of bookeeping outside the beltway and you would be locked up for fraud.

8) "Muffin Tops" Women whose mid section seems to be pouring out of jeans, cut too low and two sizes too small. This is not to beat up on more robust women, I love curves myself and I think that Queen Latifah for example is a beautiful woman. Its just the issue of display.

9) Wiitards who keep trying to convence me that there little toy is superior to my PS3. I have no issue with the Wii itself, if you all have one and enjoy it, more power to you but lets face facts

Wii is an outdated platform with a gimmick controller.

My PS3 has 15X the clock speed, Blue Ray movie capabilty, 160X the memory capacity.

Witard: "But we have this coool motion controller"

Me: "so what, so do we, and ours not only senses motion, but full video (all you got is a little supermarket grade sensor) reacts faster and works with more precision.

Witard: "But we have Zelda, Donkey Kong, Mario, etc..."

Me: " Oh Please, we have Uncharted 2 (Metacritic's highest ratings average for a video game) God of War 3, Killzone 3, Granturismo 5, Metal Gear Solid 4, Infamous 2, Assasins Creed Revelations, BattleField 3, Crysis 2, Red Dead Redemption, GTA4 etc.

What you have are a handful of solid games, with a bunch of "shovelware" "

So enjoy your Wii, but hush with this nonsense that it is in anyway shape of form better than my rig.

Ok, a bit Cranky today... I will shut up now.
