Society
 
Please people. Tell me, what is the number one thing you hate about society as a whole?

Godsend 06-19-06 02:05 AM

American society?

The "system" will sort out any of their problems. Let's be honest here! The government is supposed to fear the people, right? *rolls his ******* eyes*

Alvin 06-19-06 06:13 AM

The people.

celebrity obsessions, they're everywhere you turn

Apathy, In my corner of the globe (Melbourne, Australia) everyone is so reactive instead of proactive.

If people just took charge of their lives and got determined about achieving an awesome future then there would be a lot more happy people around, there's no point wollowing in what you don't have and not bothering to try because then you'll never know what you were capable of.

If everyone just put in the time/effort to make something of themselves, be a person of substance and character, eager to work out why they were put on this earth and not just being a nameless face in the crowd, then maybe they could impact the world and make a difference rather than just reacting as the world pushes them along the conveyrbelt that can be their lives. (*just something I've been thinking about since I've seen 6 of my friends drop out of college, their reason "boredom" and there seems to be no purpose to their life and they can't be bothered thinking about what it could be either....... :( )

Racism. it seems like everywhere I turn I seem to hear another black/Hispanic/Asian joke. everyone says oh im just kidding but they are constantly saying things and I know deep down without even knowing it they are racist. At first I used to think when i heard kids in my school they were just beiung dumb teenagers and they are saying stuff they hear on tv and they would grow out of it. but many kids tell stories about how their parents go around saying the same things they do. By the way my school/town is primarily white.

Lack of nudity at the DMV. Let's face it, 'ol Margey would be just THAT much easier to deal with if she wasn't all buttoned up in the girdles and such. Boy, I would renew my stuff every week! Float those babies over the counter and I'll pay extra!

You clearly have a different sort of people working at your DMV as here.

Oh, believe me, the reason the joke works (hopefully) is that they are very much NOT the people you want nude in public....

Sand religion and the associated moral dualism...

Ash_Lee 06-20-06 06:03 PM

Lack of patience. For example, I could be driving along a country road, at night, and more importantly, at the speed limit, and then some idiot will turn up behind me and decide that the best course of action is to drive right up behind me, not only creating a hazard by giving himself f-all reaction time if I were to break, but also by severely reducing my visibility of the road ahead with his headlights.

Idiots.

Eh? Are you saying monotheists are all eggtimers? Do explain. (Preferably without somehow calling the rest of the world spoon-fed Visigoths).

What's wrong with society?

Dandruff and hair-care products.

John McClane 06-20-06 07:22 PM

Well, I think it's about time I put my voice in this thread. I'd say the thing I hate most is how religion seems to be the driving force of everything we do.
