What really burns your biscuits!

[Toad]

Sup guys! This thread is a place where you can complain about anything you want. Or you can just listen to what burns my biscuits and post your outrage against me. Have fun!

So you know what really burns my biscuits? Environmentalist Groups!
Groups such as grassroots and green peace are more focused on eliminating corporations that provide us with goods and services than changing these corporations to still provide us with goods and services but in a way that is more eco friendly.

Most of the people who join these groups don't even have a fucking clue what the fuck they are fighting for. You can ask them the most fundamental questions about the environment and their answers would consist of mumbles, blank stares, and generic crap you hear on tv. These people are just bandwagon hoppers.

I passed by one of their "protest rallies" one time and all I saw were a bunch of freaks dancing around to drum beats. Yea, like I'm really going to listen to you guys.

These groups have a tendency to resort to emotionalism. They believe that trees can feel and communicate with you. All these beliefs are so kindergarten. They think that killing trees for resources is a waste. Well what the FUCK do you use trees for?!?! Trees are one of the fucking best renewable resources we fucking have!!

Yes we need trees to breath. But no why are not running out of trees! We have 3 times more fucking trees today than in 1920. Most trees that are cut down are farmed. Meaning they were grown for the purpose of being cut down. So that means the more wood we buy, the more trees get planted!

Go fuck yourselves.

O btw, this thread is going to be completely rude and abrasive. So no whining that I lack manners. Please and thank you.

[Anthile]

I partially disagree with you, Sly Guy. I think that Environmentalist Groups are important and you can't really say that look after the nature is not a good cause. It's not that these corporations are really interested how Earth looks in hundred years
But then I agree with you. It seems that when people join something they totally buy into everything they get told there and then that the organization can do absolutely no wrong and the ability to criticize goes completely into hibernation.
Look in any church, in any sports club, in any fanforum or whatever, facepalm ensues.
The worst part is that you can't say "Oh, those are just dumb people" because it has nothing to do with being intelligent or even the MBTI type. No one seems to be immune. The mind boggles.

Or to say it with The Mars Volta: "Persuasion deflowers your sympathy".

New Topic!

What really burns my biscuits today are...old people. Now I don't mean all old people. Some old people are very jolly and nice. I am talking about those old people who are the crankiest motherfuckers in the world. The ones that have the balls to come up to you and smack you in the face. The ones that live their lives in the most miserable fashion. I FUCKING HATE THEM!

If you are old, you are a burden. I don't give a fuck how bad that sounds. It is true. If you are old and you did not plan out your retirement well, you are a fucking burden! So if you are a burden, at least be a fucking jolly cheerful fucking burden. Don't fucking tell people how to live their lives when your life is shit. No one wants to be around a fucking old crank.

When I was younger, I would go to church and these fucking old ladies would stare at me and give me the dirtiest fucking looks. They would fucking tell people how to worship, how to pray, how to fucking breathe. I seriously think they should just fucking die already.

When I'm old, if I can't take care of myself or if I'm a fucking crank, I'm just going to fucking kill myself.

I especially hate CRAZY old people. Specifically my grandmother who is fucking nuts, perverted old men, and 70+ drivers

I hate your hot dog sly guy; I really do. I cringe every time I see it.

I don't even think I have to explain this one. If you are somebody who doesn't take themselves too seriously, then you know what I'm talking about.

on a bit of a serious note. I am a pot-smoker. Its tough to be an INTP smoker in American society. I have a hard enough time getting to know new people based on legal interests let alone an illegal one. Maybe my perception is off/childish but it seems like homosexuality is more socially acceptable than being a pothead. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem if a person wants to be gay, bi, or whatever. not a problem. Being gay in public is legal so why can't I be a pothead in public? I was participating in this car crawl a few months ago, the group was mostly female so I didn't mind that a couple of them were gay bars. I'm secure enough with myself to handle that. At one of the bars a couple was f*cking in the back of the bar and nobody cared. Yet if I were to light up a joint people would be all over that. Why did the rainbow come to represent homosexuals? Logically speaking the rainbow should represent bisexuality. anyways that's enough ranting. I probably offended someone but oh well, this issue offends me greatly so the feeling is mutual.

I'm more than happy to agree that weed should be legal but you are comparing apples to asteroids with this comparison to homosexuality. Homosexuals are what they are because that is what they are. You CHOOSE to be a pothead. You could have just as well said "Why is being black (or white or hispanic etc.) legal and not weed?" It wouldn't have made any less sense.

being gay being a choice or just part of who you are is debatable

You think? It seems there is physical evidence out there that suggests the latter.

Like I said it is debatable, there are articles saying the opposite as well

It sounds like it might have something to do with hormone levels, regulation of which can be genetic. Not saying one way or the other though, there is no concrete proof either way. I'm just mad because some alternative lifestyle choices are seen as ok and some are not.I know there has been a lot of prejudice in the past. There is still a lot of prejudice now. At the risk of sounding not very ninja-like, I suspect I may have been date raped. I had this blackout from drinking 3 beers one time, and I didn't quite feel right when I came to. I won't get into details. What really happened, who knows? There's no way 3 bud lights will make me get blackout drunk. A headache, maybe, but definitely not enough to blackout. That may affect my opinion

You can't be gay in public, you can't be straight either, it's called indecent exposure.

Being a pothead in private is fine, just don't sell the stuff.

Being a pothead in public is like being an alcoholic in public, sober people don't like seeing it.

Your avatar breaks my reading pattern, I need to find someway to block the image. Enforced avatar image sizes would be a plus.

I was at a doctors conference a few years ago, turned out that 75% of people with a certain gene are gay.

What burns my biscuits?
Correlation != causation (even if it seems plausible, it's still a fallacy...)
I don't really know if you were trying to present this as scientific support for gay marriage, but in the context of the thread, I think it may come across that way.

The jury is still out on the science behind homosexuality, but that really isn't shouldn't be important to the political issue of gay marriage. It's really about the state and church fighting to control the definition "marriage".

And, just throwing it out there...my stance is against state recognition of gay marriage (this is unconstitutional state control of church), but equally strongly against state recognition of regular marriage (this is unconstitutional church control over state). What about this doesn't make sense to people? The fact that (at least in the US) you're either for or against gay marriage is also something that pisses me off....

 

[Zaij]

The key references to gays in this thread was about whether it was a choice or genetic - that was evidence for being genetic. I don't know why you're bringing marriage into this.

 

[Morel Panic]

Maybe my perception is off/childish but it seems like homosexuality is more socially acceptable than being a pothead. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem if a person wants to be gay, bi, or whatever. not a problem. Being gay in public is legal so why can't I be a pothead in public?

This was the original reference. It wasn't exactly about marriage, but when I hear "acceptibility" I think of the gay marriage issue. I don't think genetics has anything to do with that issue, as I pointed out in my post.

And this isn't a formal debate... It's the "what burns your biscuts?" thread. I was trying to not only comment on what other people wrote, but to branch out the discussion on my own. Sorry if I suck at that. I'm don't really post on forums a lot.

 

[Invoke Ninja's True Power]

While there may be a predisposition to being gay that is probably genetic, I do believe there is still personal choice in most cases. Kind of like how an addict that is predisposed to use drugs would choose drug use over sobriety. Whether either state of mind is better is completely subjective. I think hormone levels might have more to do with it than genetics though. I am through with this issue though, I am not trying to defend or condemn any type of sexuality that is harmless with consensual approval.

I think I have cooled my biscuits for now at least

Then lets change what marriage means. Lets make it a recognition of two people who commit to each other and plan to raise a child (the future generation), whether biological or not. This said couple is vowing to renew the US population in any way possible. There is no religion involved what-so-ever, just pure politics. This country needs parents to raise the next generation. Problem solved.

I'm the same way, I don't know why it annoys me though. However I usually don't shout and hit things I just close the cupboard doors and drawers I notice that are open.

 

[INTPINFP]

My parents are the same way. It irritates the heck outta me, they get so angry if one of the cupboards is not closed!

 

[Carnap]

It really annoys me to the core when my ISTJ sister will dismiss anything I say, even if I have done hours of research on it (health info, nutrition, science, cultures, religions, etc).

I find it disrespectful. There are certain topics I'm not "allowed" to discuss.

I agree with you on the pot smoking. I'm educated, married, live in an upscale community, and I've never been convicted of anything. And yet, when people find out that I enjoy relaxing with weed sometimes, I'm instantly compared to the typical stoner that hangs out on street corners at night wasting his life away. I hate this stereotype!!

 

[snafupants]

the word drugs is an inadequate and misleading way to encapsulate the myriad agents which affect neurotransmitter levels. sweeping characterizations are great for politicians and law enforcement and black/white reality drones, but not so great for those who wish to experiment or those who want an open, honest dialogue (good god!). imho, by using the word drugs one makes the mistake of leaning on reagon era, anti drug propaganda to defer free inquiry and the subsequent realization that youve been hoodwinked. its easier to swim downstream while marching with good ol' uncle sam, isnt it? one concluding point, imagine an america where codeine, cocaine, and heroin where available at the local pharmacy, right out in the open. further, imagine an america where cocaine came in soda pop...okay, that sounds mighty frigtening, surely that would be the scourge of modern civilization. not exactly, if the 19th and early 20th centuries have anything to say. come on, are drugs (haha) really that much of a menace or is it our preconceptions and dormant fears that these substances might upend puritanical values or irrevocably alter our paradigms? that would make a terrible, loaded test question...but suffice it to say, i vote for the latter.

I still haven't seen even a glimpse of that show. At the end of last semester, my physics classmates (I like and respect them for the most part. All 8 of them.) spent about 20 in-class mins ranting about how hopeless society is with that show still being on the air. I do take some comfort in knowing that the answers to all of life's questions are "out there" somewhere, and I know that I should never set my eyes upon that show.

What really burns my biscuits are ESPN basketball analysts. I'm fairly into sports with Pro basketball being my #1, and the clear bias of that entire network into their personal investments is just....it drives me mad. Sometimes I think it shouldn't, because when something becomes expected, for me, it is usually no longer bothersome, but I can't stand the agenda-ridden telecasts when it comes to basketball. It is only a major problem because, in the world of sporting news, ESPN has a bit of a monopoly and is somewhat difficult to get around for the sporting news of the casual fan.

ESPN Basketball Business Priority List
(Note: I wish I understood more about how they make money off of their extra coverage on things they have an interest in. I'll have to look more into it, but fiscal matters usually send me running for hills. Haven't spent much time in life trying to understand how money operations truly work.)

1)LeBron James - They've been invested in the kid's career since he was sixteen years old, doing everything they can to hype him up as the greatest thing you've ever heard of, at any point, ever, with a basketball.
When he was on the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Cavs were commonly highlighted, in as much as his so evident greatness and impact on that city was all that mattered. (He was extremely influential in Cleveland, one of the biggest stars in the city's history) The team, though, wasn't the concern nearly as much as it was he. Over the summer, he left the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat to join up with 2 other NBA stars, one nearly as good as he in basketball playing ability. Ever since then, the network has tried at every opportunity to shove them down the throats of fans everywhere. And the fans are so not gay.

2)Boston Celtics - Everyone's (on the staff) favorite team that needs a story run about them whenever they feel like it.

3)New York Knicks - Not necessarily their favorite team, but from what I understand, the network has a lot of business spread between Boston and N.Y. and it shows. Actually, they've spoken on the "east coast" bias--as some would call it--more than once and it partially admitted to it.

I watch nationally televised games on the network, if it's a big game or if it's not being covered in my area. Otherwise, I try to stay away from basketball-related things on there.



Oh I didn't even personally mention any of the analysts there. They are ALL a bunch of fucking twats with no soul.

That's nicest thing I can think to say about them.

OK what really 'burns my biscuits' (never really heard that expression before, is it a European expression?) is when an extrovert, thinking he has never told me a story he has told me countless times before, embarks on a rant of story-telling, expecting me to listen to his stories!! Aghh... its so annoying. Once I've heard the story once I've already analyzed it to pieces! Its especially bad when the person telling me this story is a feeler and so expects an emotional reaction which I already am not good at. What conspires after his story is usually a typical response from me consisting of: "Oh that sucks", "Yeah that's true", or "nods and then proceed to get back to whatever I was doing before". If I wanted your opinion on how your life was going I would have asked you!
