Things that everyone likes but you don't - and why

People who equate atheism with religion...
Pseudo philosophic statements of false equivalence.

Stuff like that bores the shit out of me. Some people find it interesting though.

 

This.

Also:

Modern Christianity
Driving
Most small dogs
The entire Harry Potter series
The entire Twilight series
Wal Mart
Women's pants and, specifically, their woefully inadequate pockets
McDonald's
Pop music radio stations
Vocal and stunt performance-based reality television (Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance are guilty pleasures)
Mass produced light lager beers

 

Forrest Gump - Just seems a celebration of stupidity
Facebook - I gladly left high school behind decades ago

 

Mate, I realize your position. I held the no-stereotype, no-generalization, no-prejudice position myself until very recently, and I still do in many aspects.

But I know the dirty side of those cultures very much in-depth now. I have seen what pain they cause to hundreds of millions of people, how they twist people's minds, behaviour, logic and sanity.

It's my assessment. It's unfortunate you were disappointed by it, and I mean that, but it won't affect what I truly believe.

 

Fremen, get the program already:

When whitey-white people claim to hate another group, it's whatever-ism.

When brown people claim to hate a group, it's just part of the struggle.

 

I don't like Nirvana, which is apparently some kind of sin among my age group. *shrug* I couldn't tell you why, exactly, they just never did it for me. I like other grunge-type bands from the 90s, so it wasn't the genre.

I don't like 3D games. Besides the fact that they make me sick, I'm partial to the old school text-based games.

I don't like designer purses...which may not be something "everyone" likes, but pretty much all the women I worked with at my last job were into. They tended to sneer a bit at my Celtic hippie bag and my OD surplus backpack....which was only one of many reasons I was miserable there (well, I mean, not specifically that they didn't like my purses, but there was such a disconnect when it came to stuff we liked.)

 

What is it when a brown guy hates other brown guys?

 

You're not very good at Madlibs, are you?

 

Will you tell me what Madlibs are, or do I have to google it?

EDIT: Googled, and still got no clue what you're on about, Plan. Here, have a cookie instead.

 

Like cin, designer purses. Even thinking about spending more than forty bucks on a purse (and tt is a lot) makes me feel like throwing up.

 

Dill Pickles. Which sucks, because I thought I hated all pickles until I sucked it up and tried Bread and Butter Pickles. OMG they are yummy. I missed out on them for so many years. Stupid dill pickles
Ace of Base. Why do they exist?
ABBA. Why do they exist?
Milk Chocolate. It's too..something. I dunno. I prefer dark chocolate.
LordEden. JK, everyone hates him too. (LYLASA Cinn!)

 

I hear you on Ace of Base and ABBA.

But...

HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY HAVE A GOOD HAM-/CHEESEBURGER WITHOUT PICKLES?!

 

Oh, I just realized I didn't give any reasons for disliking this stuff. It's because I'm an elitist snob.

When I glanced at this initially I thought it said "chocolate milk," and I was about to be horrified because, well, who doesn't like chocolate milk?

Carry on.

 

Hey, hey. Don't knock milk chocolate.

Dark chocolate's too bitter, and I really like the creamy taste of milk chocolate.

Let me ask this: Do you like Nutella? If you don't, I declare you a heathen!

 

Me. But that's because I bet someone that I could drink a gallon of it in an hour. I lost.

Chardonney - if I wanted something "buttery" I'd have some popcorn.

 

So then what is White Chocolate? Guessing at your reply, you will say it's not chocolate... which I think is technically true.

That's about as valid a reason as you can get.

 

Isn't that the kind of chocolate fancy society ladies eat after banging the golf pro in the lightening shelter on the 14th hole?
