$$$$, Consumerism, Democracy.
The money in this world is disproportionately distributed. People who do crap work get paid the least, whereas some people with a cushy job get a fat paycheck and all sorts of perks. Some jobs are emotionally draining (like a suicide hotline operator, or someone who deals with disability claims), some are back breaking (roofers, ditch diggers), some rob you of your soul (any mass-retail or fast food job), and some are just unenviable (porta john cleaners and other septic and sanitation workers). Everytime I hear about how much some athlete or actor or actress makes, I want to rip a phone book in half. What human anywhere sees nothing wrong with making $1 million in a year, when there are other people who don't have a home or food to eat? And it's been proven that the more a person makes, the more the quality of their work declines. Anything over $500,000 annually should be taxed to death, and that money should go directly to people who need it. And I'm not talking about people who are lazy or unwilling to work for a living. There's a huge problem with people who have an over-inflated sense of entitlement in this world, and in America, at leat, this is encouraged by programs like welfare and food stamps. Don't get me wrong - there are people who need those services. Especially when our government endorses outsouricng American jobs to foreign countries. I guess another thing I don't like that most people do is Democracy. It doesn't work. I spent 8 years in the Army defending democracy, so I feel I have every right to state my feelings on this. There's a whole cycle here where our systme of government is bound to fail. It's starting to crack up right now. I've seen it coming since I was old enough to recognize it as such, when I started paying attention to the way our government worked. People buy, and people buy, and they take out loans, and go in debt, and buy and buy and buy. Consumerism. Just as much a problem as alcoholism or drug abuse. I wouldn't much care about it, but I have a daughter who's going to have to live with this. And it's not her fault, it's not my fault. We know who's fault it is. Credit companies. Oil companies. Politicians. etcetera. Well said.

Halo games and anything to do with it. I really don't see why it's as popular as it is.

The Sims. It's effing boooring. Any game that's supposed to simulate real life is a waste of time for people that don't have a life. I've got a better deal for you - come to my apartment and clean out my cats litterboxes, take out my garbage, run the vaccuum and buy my groceries. Because I sure as hell don't feel like doing it after playing the Go To Work game all day, and yet I still have to. I don't know where the people have the time to do this crap. From 5 in the morning to 10 or 12 at night (depending on the day), I'm doing crap all day long I don't want to be doing.

Don't really care what others think of what I like/don't like.
Probably Coen brothers. Most of their movies don't interest me at all. Only one I have any desire to see is No Country For Old Men. Burn After Reading, the previews, seems stupid. Same with the others. Oh yeah, Seinfeld. Have never liked the show at all. anyway, being a horror movie fan, a music fan, and a film student my hatred of the following tends to horrify: Friday the 13th....all of them suck. EVERYTHING Alfred Hitchcock has ever done sucks. The Godfather movies. Citizen Kane The Wizard Of Oz Rush The Beatles Alcohol....the drinking kind Van Halen All but the first two Legend Of Zelda games Raging Bull Disney Movies McDonalds the whole Saw series Steven Spielberg there are so many more things that I would love to eradicate from the planet...but whatever.
