Don't get me f#&%ing started. I'm a cynical misanthrope at 21. I shudder to think how I'll be when I'm 61. If I live that long.
The news makes me mad. They don't report, they entertain. We aren't getting the truth.
Stupid people make me mad. The only problem is that they don't know they're stupid, so they can't help themselves.
Cub Scouts make me mad. The little f%!!ers.
People in general make me mad. Group mentality is worse than the herd.
Emo kids make me mad. You shouldn't have to pretend to be disenfranchised.
Politics make me mad. One step closer to 1984.
Censorship makes me mad. It causes blindness.
Anger makes me mad. Self-explanatory.
This is my final "f*&! you" to anyone and anything that has ever pissed me off, made me angry, or wasted my time.

With the car travel point mentioned at the start of this, I'd like to add:
There's a little stick poking out of the left side of your steering column. If you push it up, it let's people know you intend to steer your 2000 pound death machine to the right. If you push it down, (many times this maneuver is possible without even removing your hand from the steering wheel!), it let's people know you intend to steer your 2000 pound death machine to the left. We all appreciate knowing where you think you are and intend on going - even in parking lots.

It would be a shorter list if I just listed what didn't make me mad.....
And THAT makes me mad.
But my biggest thing is people who find blame in others to cover up their own inability to be responsible.
EXAMPLES- A mother who doesn't watch their kid, the kid locks himself in an abandoned car trunk in the summer heat and dies.....Who does the mother blame? The police for not finding the kid quickly enough (she blames THAT on her race). Then she starts to sue for damages.
- A mother (again) that decides to just cross a busy 6 lane highway with her children in tow (1 and 4), instead of going 200ft down the road to the pedestrian overpass, and ends up with the oldest dead and the youngest critical. Come to find out she is an illegal alien on top of it. Great.
Here is another, but a political one. Pro-lifers and Pro-choicers who base the decision as to who should run the country souly on this one issue. I tend to see this as more of a pro-lifer thing but that is just my experience. It doesn't matter that our children die in a ridiculous war, or that 200,000ish innocents die in that war. It doesn't matter that the rest of the world thinks that we are A**holes and want to drag us through the muck. It doesn't matter that the economy is going to hell. Or about conserving natural resources. Strengthening our borders. Finding alternative energy sources.
Nope, none of that matters. The remotest possibility that some odd bit of legislature gets through that may impact a bunch of frozen embryos is much more important than any of that.
I would never support abortion in any manner but I also don't think it is MY decision to take from others.

And look where that kind of thinking has gotten you... :-D
As for things that make me mad:
Religion.
Anyone who believes communism/socialism is the same thing. ;-)
Career politicians.
Warmer winters.
Depression.
And I'll echo Rhavin's "willful ignorance in intelligent friends" - but that's also tied to the religion point above.

There's this one guy I know that, for some reason I don't know, I hang out with. I have hated this guy's guts for nearly a decade because he's a cocky, self-absorbed, racist bastard of the highest order. I have been waiting for the chance to pop this guy in the face for years.
This may sound exploitative, but I may have a chance at it. See, my girlfriend is from Mexico. If this m!*&!!!+#~+@ says anything about her, a cathartic and fulfilling tolchocking will ensue. Bets will be placed. Blood shall be spilt. I shall see something that's been playing in my head for a long time coming.
This makes me angry, both that this guy is a prick, and that I think things like this. F!+%.

Probably more of a rant, but whatever.
I've never met a single person in my life that I felt was smart enough or qualified enough to think for me. I wouldn't trust anyone (beyond maybe my folks, if I were in a coma) to make decisions about my life. So I turn a pretty jaundiced eye to celebrity endorsements for political figures of any stripe. I don't give a damn who Oprah or Chuck Norris are voting for, and they need to reevaluate who the hell they think they are if they want to try and influence my opinion on politics. If I don't want to see your show, why would I want to vote for your candidate or do anything else you make these heavy pronouncements about? Even if I was a fan, that's your decision, not mine. I'll vote for the person I like (or, more likely, vote against the person I hate) you do the same and we'll see who we end up with.
A bunch of idiots taunt a tiger at the zoo, it gets out of its enclosure and does what its instincts tell it to do: maul the f@@+ out of said idiots. And it's called a tragedy; I call it Darwinism briefly reasserting itself on humanity after being held at bay for a long time. Yeah, the zoo should have had heavier security measures but, gosh, maybe you shouldn't taunt an animal like that. Regardless of whether or not the thing is securely kept away from you, I think an animal that dangerous deserves a measure of respect. Save the taunting for the monkey house; at least those guys'll send it right back to you (with interest). Tigers can't take a joke.
The Simpsons movie did not meet my expectations and it really pisses me off. Smartest and funniest show to ever be produced for network television and the movie stinks. I don't think I laughed once.

My bet would be on just about anyone else vs. someone using "tolchocking" in their pre-fight tough-talk.....Just sayin'.
I'm sure it will be rousingly good show, especially with you all persnickity and whatnot. *snicker*

Multiple reasons. First off, it's used mostly in conjunction with the American government, and, really, though it has it's faults, I believe that they are not bad guys who are trying to control everybody's minds. Even if that was true, it's irritating that everyone thinks that humans are so weak willed as to allow this to happen (and if they are, then why don't the guys who are claiming that "everything is getting one step closer to 1984" DO SOMETHING about it, other than whine uselessly about it?). Plus, I'm technically a government employee, so I have some loyalties to it.
Second, it's a conspiracy theory, and I think that "xkcd" says it best; sometimes the hoofbeats belong to a horse, not a zebra.
Third, I hear it ALL THE F++$ING TIME, and it's really irritating.
It's really nothing against you, though: this just gave me an opening to vent.
Another thing I hate: laptop keyboards that are way too sensitive.
NINJA EDIT: I really don't want to continue talking about the whole 1984 deal: it will only lead to grief, and I just wanted an opportunity to vent. I'm cool with arguing about laptop computer keyboards, though.

Aha. Thank you for bringing another blood boiler to the surface, James:
Every time an animal attacks a person, they kill it. You do not kill animals for acting like...animals. Would you bash in the head of a baby for not acting like an adult? I didn't think so.
Another hackle raiser:
Scientists are not looking for intelligent life in the universe. They are looking for "us" in space. It's gone far beyond limiting the scope of the search for others and deep into hubris.

Your logic is flawed; you attest that A. Humans kill animals when they attack humans, B. Animals act like animals (when they attack humans), and C. Babies act like babies. Since A = B, and B = C, then you assume that C = D (Humans kill babies if they don't act like adults), which is just wrong.
I'd say that a better way to apply this is: Everytime an animal attacks a person, they kill it. Would you kill a man if he attack another person?
And the answer is... sometimes. But not usually, because it's not humane, and there you can apply your next comment.

Respectfully, I think your logic is the flawed one in this matter. You are comparing items of similar intellect and temperament, when the argument is:
If (theoretically) inferior (A) behaves in a manner unbecoming to superior (B), then (A) must be destroyed, when superior (B), should be correcting or even non-interfering with the development of (A).

I understand your intent, but it's still ridiculous; the fully grown tiger who has experiences and instincts shouldn't be compared to a newborn who has no experiences or instincts. It's like saying that a banana and the number pi should be compared because they have nothing in common.

Correction: Lawful Neutral.
Business does only what it must to survive. Maliciousness is counterproductive and unprofitable. While individual employees or executives of a business might be evil, the business itself must remain either neutral or (only somewhat less often) good lest it fail and die.

True dat.
Although i don't think you need always be malicious to be evil. And I doubt that there are many BIG businesses that are good. Just some people in them.
