Parents who won't let their children read Harry Potter because of the fantasy element but will buy them all sorts of video games that are based on killing people.

-Butt cleavage, female or male.
-When people offer to help, following that up with how busy they are and how much they have to do.
-Glamour shots. Why? WHY?!!!!
-The kissing that happens in all the kid's shows on Nick.
-Romantic comedy.
-Conservative talk radio (hate-spewing, negative, boring weirdos).
-Line cutters.
-Parents who whine after their teenagers lie to them and misbehave when they give them almost limitless freedom and unsupervised time.
I must stop now.

I annoy myself. I hate the way I start threads hoping people will take them seriously.
And you?
I also have a loathing for GB.
Finally, I harbor a deep regret that I can't punch people in the crotch through the internet. If I could have one super power, this would be it.

.......................
my aunt's husband had a principle of never eating 'rabbit food' or any spices beyond salt and black pepper. I mean literally, those were his non-negotiable terms since early childhood. my aunt is an opera diva, and he was an extremely well read soldier who made his career in the defence command of finland. once he was asked that weren't his 'principles' hard to uphold in all offical pr-dinners etc, and he admitted there had been difficult times but that he'd always managed. he also claimed the only 'veggie' he had ever eaten, was once when he ate a strawberry as a child. "but I spat it out immediately," he used to add.
for his principles, he got his first stroke in his 50s. recovered enough to walk with a cane, but pretty much refused to leave the house. the disability wasn't his problem with that, it would've been 100% alright had he injured himself in a war. but as it happened outside war, he deemed the disability shameful. yes, another principle of his. -after a couple of years of laying mostly in bed reading his precious swedish detective stories, still adamantly refusing to eat rabbit food, he had his second stroke, and that was the end of that.
sure some principles can be great, but mostly they're a sign of rigid stupidity or an excuse for lazy thinking. and that kind of mindset annoys me greatly.

-people who first ask a yes/no question, then IMMEDIATELY follow it with the polar opposite question! and I'm not referring to the english idiom of "it's a nice day, isn't it?"
"would you like me to help with that? or can you get it yourself?"

you would agree that 'principle' suggests fundamental understanding, valid criterion or operating precept...
as opposed to mindless habit, theoretical assumption, speculative proposition or crooked rule convention.
