how terrible

i can not tell whether you are saying "how terrible" in reference to my statement that i will be labeled "racist" or in reference to that i feel swamped.
my girlfriend says you are being sarcastic and your post is in a negative tone.

it is not terrible that i may be labeled "racist" and it is not terrible that i feel swamped.
i just feel irritated that the space to move around is being taken up so quickly by people who come here to australia and clog up the system like they have clogged up their home lands. they move here to get some freedom and there are too many and they stifle freedom to move because there are too many of them.
i do not see how that is "racist". i do not care what color they are or what language they speak. there are too many people being crammed into sydney and it makes this place less attractive to live in.

no racism here

you are correct. it is just the way of life they have known since birth, and they carry it on here, and they have no longing for peace and serenity and isolation. they come from lands where they have to push and shove to get anywhere through the crowds, and it is foreign to my way of life, and i wish there were not so many people all elbowing each other out of the way to get what they want.

or here

well i agree that was not well said. it does not matter where they come from , it matters how many there are.
it is like having a 2 storey house to yourself, and suddenly 30 people move in and jostle for a few seconds in the toilet and a few seconds in the kitchen etc. none of them care about anything other than their own desires and intentions being satisfied,

i agree that that was an ill considered analogy.
but when the government says it is letting in 300,000 asians per year, they fail to consider that those 300,000 asians will become 1.8 million in 15 years time due to their reproductive proliferation.
they have already clogged up asia and india because they have so many offspring, and if it continues, they will swamp the world within 100 years i think.

i have nothing against any asian or indian. i know that their lives are worth equal to any other persons life. all i am saying is that there are too many and they keep multiplying and it terrifies me that i will be knocked over when i am old by a swarming throng of eager and hungry young people all scuttling around sapping up any nutrition that is available.

Anyways I'm glad you're brave enough to speak out against the yellow/red/brown plague which is clogging up our freeways and populace, and you should speak out for driving out this menace so that everyone can return to a traditional Australian lifestyle in peace.


you are a silly person in my evaluation.
i do not think they are inferior to anyone.
i do not detest their culture or their philosophies.

if a white australian and a black indian were both starving in the gutter and i had a big mac to spare, i would equally divide it to give to each of them.

i could not ever reject to help an indian if he was in need of my help.

you see racism everywhere because your mind is like a mouse trap that is set off by specks of dust that brush past it.

i always am suspicious of people who are exaggeratedly aggressive to any form of opinion about people of other races. i think you are trying to paint yourself as a saint and you seize any perceived opportunity to portray yourself as an egalitarian so as to gain favor from other people.

i am not racist, and even if the whole world bugles their disgust at my attitude, i will still know i am not racist because i consider everyone's right to live a happy life to be equal.

I forgot a few...

* Drunks
* Druggies
* Children
* Salesmen
* Jehovah's Witnesses (not because of their faith, but because they have a habit of ringing the doorbell when I'm enjoying a laze in bed...!)
* People that try to talk to you in the toilet
* James Corden
* James Nesbitt
* Beggars (I mean really, people - make an effort! Don't just sit there looking pathetic!)

People who lie and cheat, and people who generally think the world revolves around them.

Also, the loud, inconsiderate, bitchy types. I knew some girls like that at school. I felt like punching them, but they weren't worth it.

optimists, people who are always happy no matter what.
people who think "just because it's a game you have to be happy all the time" everyone on conquer had this disease and i was the only one that didn't i swear. most WoW people had the same disease.

i like people that are realistic.

I agree with many of the above people.

The type of people that I hate the worst are those whom you have majorally went out the way to help, and then turn on you and have nothing to do with you. (I have had this happen many times in my life)

I've noticed that a lot of people are quick to see racism where there is none.

This part of the thread reminds me of many years ago when I had a roommate who I despised. She took up more than half of the room with her possessions, and she invited six or seven people into the room until late at night. They would listen to music that I hate, and they would talk very loudly, all at once, screeching and hollering with glee. They didn't acknowledge my existence unless I asked them to please leave my room so I could sleep, and then they'd gang up on me. But if I complained to the person in charge of the dorms, then the whole lot of them would start going on about how I must be a racist. (I'm white, they were all black/African-American). I didn't care about their race; I just didn't want a bunch of people hooting and hollering in MY room until late at night. They would notice that I hadn't complained about any of my previous white roommates (who, for whatever reason, hadn't made my room unlivable), and conclude that it was their race that I was complaining about. I don't care what continent your great-grandparents were born on; I just don't want wild parties five feet away from my bed while I'm trying to relax with a book in my home. If they had talk quietly for a bit, and then left at a reasonable hour, maybe with a friendly nod in my direction, there wouldn't have been a problem. They could have been black, white, or purple polka-dots.

So, to answer the OP question,

I don't like people who inflict their noise and litter upon others.

Random people who must stop for one second of their day to point out how quiet I am with a giant smirk on their face. :evil:

As if that one second couldnt be spent on other things.

I can't stand the bossy and angry people who stand there and try to tell you what to do.

I hate pushy people who stand there and try to ask me why I don't talk to people.

I loath being around people who are judgmental about me just because I am different.

I despise people who can't practice what they preach.

Today's younger generation who are spoiled rotten brats and have no appreciation for the things they have. Kids who speak back to people without respect whatsoever. Makes me glad I have never been a parent in my life. All people should be in a military school and learn what living a disciplined life is like.

1. People that think they're "so random lol!" because they shout nonsense about ninjas and unicorns, seriously you're not random you're just a nob.
2. 11 year olds who think they're hard because they dress like chavs. I was in a bus station a couple of months ago and saw a bunch of children talking a load of s**t to this man thinking they're the bees knees and the man just told them off, toddlers aren't threatening and they look pathetic when they try.
3. Girls that do the whole "all men are dicks" routine.
4. Stupid people who ask stupid questions in a high stupid voice. I hardly ever speak to stupid people and enjoy it.
5. Plastics/popular girls.
6. rough arses

i get pronounced as racist very often. i think that some people are like "sniffer dogs" who's self imposed duty it is to identify "racism".

i think that the color of a persons skin should not protect them from a considered evaluation of their behavior.

i truly do not care where anyone came from geologically.
if i am disgruntled by a persons behavior, i will say it, and if they have insecurities about their skin color, then they should not charge me with offending those insecurities simply because i do not like how they act.

i often wonder why people with dark skin feel so inferior, and why they take such automatic offense at anything that is said about them.

it is like they are racist about themselves in a way.

i know that skin does not make a person and they seem not to.

(oops in advance)

I have to defend kids here. Kids are kids and they always have been and always will be. I work with teenagers in a public school and it doesn't matter if their parents are pillars of the community or send them to school to buy drugs for them, they're the same - they're funny, generally respectful of adults, and absolutely appreciative of the things they have. Of course they, like anyone can take things for granted and they have a limited perspective, but they say thank you when I don't give them homework, or use a teaching technique they like. They are kind, beautiful people - even the "bad" ones (whom I seem to attract!). A little compassion goes a very long way with them. I have no significant discipline problems and I deal with about 200 each day.

The current mannerisms are different from earlier generations, but I find nothing inherently wrong with them, besides, the kids learned them from their families and society at large - we adults set the example, they just follow it.

And military school is good for some, but there are other very effective methods of learning discipline. It's not a one size fits all solution.

As for answering the OP's question, I get a long with lots of people - it's kind of hard for me to think of people who across the board rub me the wrong way. I've been friends with some irritating people...they all had something to offer.
