Who would you like to smack upside the head?

[blogslut]

I'm doing a little sociological research.

I'm talking generalities here. Groups. Professions. Types of people that just piss you off.

Do tell. :)

[Gidney N Cloyd]

1. Animal abusers.

[blogslut]

4. Cool

I can dig that.

[mix]

9. them too nt

[baldguy]

14. I'm thinking a baseball bat would be more in line than a dope slap.

[BreweryYardRat]

52. And I'm thinking a hatchet would be more in line than a baseball bat. n/t

[mix]

2. homophobes nt

[femmocrat]

3. Lieberman.

Ok, so I didn't follow the rule. :)

[blogslut]

5. Ahhh

...but you've come alarmingly close to the intent of my secret plan. Shhh. :)

[Capn Sunshine]

8. to qualify

all Senators representing the Lieberman for Connecticut Party.

[femmocrat]

10. Yes, much better. Thank you!

:)

[denbot]

6. People who drive slow in the left lanes

WTH!!!

[Kali]

7. people who spew ignorant or blatant bullshit

proselytizers of religion, and food choice, especially

so-called progressives who have no human compassion

Palin fans and other assorted teabagging backwash

old hippies that turn into power mad fascists

assholes with too much money and too many annoying toys (thinking of recreational atv's and jet ski's)

I better stop. I'm sinking into the category of people I'd just rather shoot.

[MiddleFingerMom]

18. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

.
Kali, I KNEW you wouldn't be able to resist THIS topic.
.

[Kali]

25. ...

:evilgrin:

[GoCubsGo]

39. That covers most of them for me.

They're a subset of the willfully ignorant. But, I think a dope slap is nowhere near enough for the lot of them.

I would like to add an honorable mention for my older sister, who is not one of the above, for the most part. She just does a lot of stupid shit.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

70. i agree with all your categories. also, minorities who suffer discrimination

but have no sympathy for others who do. gay racists, POC homophobes, women who are sexist. etc i do want to smack them into making sense

[AsahinaKimi]

11. Glenn Beck types...

With my bamboo Kendo Shinai ..Just one hit..I promise not to injure him..just whack! The Ouch kind..

[GoCubsGo]

37. I wouldn't worry about hurting them...

There's nothing in between those ears to hurt. ;-)

[Amerigo Vespucci]

12. Mimes, Chef Bobby Flay, and members of the "assholes on bikes" group Critical Mass.

Not necessarily in that order.

[rcrush]

47. I know some AOB's

They hand out their fliers all the time and act like they are having some fun green event. But all they do is ride in traffic and harass people.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

49. "...all they do is ride in traffic and harass people..."

That's exactly what I'm saying.

And while I don't know 100% of the participants in Critical Mass, I have seen the "ride in traffic and harass people" shit far too often.

Some of these people they are harassing are just trying to get to and from work to pick up their kids from school, to go to the market and buy groceries.

Messing with these people does not prove a "political point."

It proves that some asshole on a bike likes fucking with other people, and that no one will ever fuck them back.

That's all it proves. In Silicon Valley, you will never find a shortage of assholes on bikes.

[rcrush]

50. Its not a common event down here

But every once in awhile someone will organize one. And they spend most of the time riding around in circles in the middle of the street. I'm surprised someone hasnt run one of them over yet.

[rug]

13. Anyone who eats dog.

[Capn Sunshine]

15. That's a LOT of people

[Lionel Mandrake]

16. Cyber-bullies

Especially those who specialize in character assassination via the internet.

[SoxFan]

23. Preach it, Brother Lionel

I've been on the receiving end of this garbage. There's a piece on YouTube that accuses me of everything short of being on the grassy knoll (and that's omitted only because I wasn't born for another three and a half years...)

[Lionel Mandrake]

28. That's no defense.

You could have been there in a previous life. ;-)

(No attack is too ridiculous for a dedicated cyber-bully.)

I have also been on the receiving end of this garbage. It's hard to ignore. If it happens on DU, the best strategy is not to reply, but to alert on it. Those who persist will be warned and, if necessary, tombstoned.

Of course that doesn't stop them from spewing out their poison elsewhere.

[MorningGlow]

17. People who listen to Limbaugh or Beck and take them at their word

I was surrounded by pig-ign'ant relatives for the holidays (with apologies to pigs, who are quite intelligent, I understand) who did not think for themselves and were re-spewing Limbaugh and Beck untruths that they took at face value without investigating the actual news stories. I wanted to tell them the TRUTH of each story (which was a simple google away every time) but they would talk over me because they preferred the sensationalism and faux outrage. Ick. :puke:

[elana i am]

19. trolls and griefers.

perez hilton and his ilk. the 1/3 of americans who believe the bible is literally true.

[MiddleFingerMom]

44. Perez Hilton

.
Haven't had a TV for nearly two decades now, so in the
relatively recent past I'd see a lot of references to
Perez Hilton without any real kind of definition,
description, or explanation of who or what this "Perez
Hilton" was.
.
Until I found out, I always pictured P.H. as a hot,
bubble-headed Puerto Rican debutante -- riffing off
Paris Hilton.
.
Still don't know exactly who or what he is or does...
but learned just enough to know that I probably won't
waste the time to find out.
.

[elana i am]

53. perez hilton

is a gossip mongering piece of filth.

he started a nasty gossip blog and had a habit of writing/drawing inappropriate commentary on celebrity photos (penises and cum stains were his forte). his blog became a fad, and he became a go-to guy for shows like entertainment tonight, E, and TMZ, all of which swelled his head and fed his ego. he then took it upon himself to harass and out gay celebs. he takes credit for outing lance bass, neil patrick harris and clay aiken. before i found out he was gay himself, i thought he was a homophobe. then the whole carrie prejean issue happened (a sleaze lik perez hilton judging a beauty pageant is a major WTF?!) and he finally jumped about a million sharks. the sleaze and the meanness got old after awhile even for those who partake. he's on the downhill side of his 15 minutes, thank the gods and goddesses!

[Skittles]

20. pretty much everyone

yes INDEED

[Kali]

24. ...

:rofl:


:thumbsup:

[Skittles]

32. I'd be able to explain it to the paramedics too

yes INDEED :hi:

[Jamastiene]

34. You beat me to it.

I would have to honestly say my answer is the same as yours. :hi:

[EFerrari]

21. Nobody. I don't think I've ever hurt anyone without

channeling the pain myself. That empathy thing really sucks sometimes.

[Odin2005]

22. Rapists, Global Warming Denialists, Homophobic bigots, Neurotypicalist Autism pro-cure bigots.

[Violet_Crumble]

26. Anyone who thinks Soundgarden getting back together is a good thing...

People. Haven't we learnt from the Pixies and Blur that bands that used to be awesome (or in the case of Soundgarden, kind of okay) come back all fat and bloated and boring and only a faint shadow of what they used to be?

[rcrush]

48. +1

See Guns and Roses hahahhahahaha

[Mopar151]

27. Narcissists, sociopaths, wannabe theocrats, n"itwit"s

Tired, tired, tired of this shit.... :hurts: :grr: :banghead: :hurts: :grr: :banghead::hurts: :grr: :banghead::hurts: :grr: :banghead::hurts: :grr: :banghead::hurts: :grr: :banghead:

[SoxFan]

30. Sarah Palin is all of the above

[Mopar151]

33. Tired, Tired....

Chris Rock's bit which inspired part of my previous reply about n"itwit"s
:hurts: :grr: :banghead:

Caribou Barbie's number is up at 3:00 "----- LOVE to not know!"

[bookworm65t]

58. I second the narcissists

I have several in my family. I feel so worn out most of the time now whenever we have get togethers. many aren'ta as fascinating as they think they are.

:boring:

[valerief]

29. Tailgaters. Big, big smack. nt

[lost-in-nj]

40. I have to ask

why tailgaters???

I love to tailgate.. if you mean the ones who leave a hugh mess after wards then yes I agree....
the last game we went to some one left a couch in the parking lot....


lost

[valerief]

43. Smack! Smack! You know I mean drivers who ride your rear bumper. nt

[lost-in-nj]

67. oh crap

I totally forgot about those tailgaters!!!!
tells ya where my mind has been lately

:blush:

:rofl: :rofl:


lost

[valerief]

69. Ha! And I totally forgot about the other kind! nt

[crim son]

31. Okay, this is terrible, but

I have a huge problem with religious wingnuts who are unable to either explain or adequately defend the flaws in their beliefs. Or worse, "Christians" who hate other people. The hypocrisy makes me cringe while the unfathomable sense of privilege makes me want to... force such people to see reality. Few people enrage me more, not even the knowing crooks on t.v. who essentially steal money from these fools.

Don't get me started. Faith isn't for dummies.

[Sebastian Doyle]

35. The lowlife freeper fucking piece of shit who posted these words

teddy kennedy was a piece of shit as a human being. go ahead and love him for the shit you think he stood for? he didn't. a fucking drunk. a fucking cheater. a fucking womanizer. a fucking murderer.

And no, that wasn't posted at Rim Job's Digital Trailer Park. Sadly.

[jobycom]

36. No one. Here's what I'd rather do

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IwkR7qSXs0

Make the world a more beautiful place. Much more better than more violence.

[Sky Masterson]

38. Myself

Someone needs to. :dunce:

[MiddleFingerMom]

46. Same here

.
About smacking MYself, not YOURself.
.
Problem is, I'm afraid I might like it and become some
sorta weird hybrid of sadist AND masochist all in one.
.
Would be FRUSTRATING, too -- because I know the secret:
.
A true masochist says, "Beat me!!!!"
.
A TRUE sadist says, "........................................................ Nope."

[Bertha Venation]

41. people who think they have a right to dictate how others' children

are educated

[blockhead]

42. Snoop

[Joey Liberal]

45. Rush Limbaugh.

But any republican will do:)..........

[sakabatou]

51. Everyone at Fox "News"

[blueamy66]

54. the sheriff of Maricopa County

nt

[Sheltiemama]

55. Oh, honey.

My list is way too long.

But people who don't use their turn signals are on it.

[Terra Alta]

61. people who don't use their turn signals.

really piss me off. Sorry, but I am not a fucking psychic and I don't know when and where you are going to turn when you don't use a signal. People here love not using their turn signals and it pisses me off to no end.

[flvegan]

56. Nobody. I don't believe in violence.

[bookworm65t]

57. Freepers, especially in my family

as well as the family members in feuds with one another for unknown or silly reasons.

[av8rdave]

59. Ex spouses

[rrneck]

60. If I don't hurry up

and get over this flu damn near everybody.

[tabbycat31]

62. Republicans

I don't deal much with the Glenn Beck freeper types, but the ones I want to smack upside the head with a baseball bat are the trust fund baby corporatist Republicans who have never had to work for anything in their lives. The ones that think that people are truly lower than them and they deserve poverty.

Can I just start with the ones in my family?

[MilesColtrane]

63. Ryan Seacrest

But, since you asked for general groups I'd say, talentless tool bags with trendy haircuts who are famous for no reason.

[mcctatas]

64. I had a long list, starting with Republicans, Fundies...

my boyfriends ex-wife, but then I realized that what they all have in common is that they are big fucking hypocrites, so yeah, hypocrites should be soundly smacked upside the head :grr:

[BlueIris]

65. The collective medical establishment in this country, bad novelists, (Stephenie Meyer, cough)

people who talk on cellphones while driving, (hands free or not) and Rush Limbaugh.

[Angleae]

66. My boss

[Mad_Dem_X]

68. Freepers. n/t

http://blogslut.com/whackajoe.html

:hi:

[Initech]

73. AM hate-radio hosts, gay-bashing Xtian fundies, neo-Nazis.

Seriously I think we'd be better off as a society if these types didn't exist.
