When someone likes you it is hard not to like them back.

Until they become stalkers, then it's pretty easy to not like them.

He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, scince for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despiceable an ignoreable war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

No, it isn't. The thing I dislike most about other people is usually the fact that they're a leftie. I'm not a leftie. Case closed.

"Idle Hands Are The Devil’s Tools"

Although I'm not religious, I believe the sentiment of this saying, as it relates to children, is very much true.

While kids need free time, it seems that the crap a lot of kids get involved with (drinking, sex, drugs, and various other criminal activities), seems to be tied to them having too much unsupervised time on their hands. But, thats for a whole other thread I guess.

I don't think this is true. I hate snoring; I don't snore. I also hate loud eaters, constant talkers, and nasty drunks. (I just had to disagree with Kevin.)

I doubt this is true also, but I didn't wanna bother arguing since I suspect his definition of conformity is pretty broad.
