dtgreene: Actually, I disagree about the whole "control freak" claim. For one thing, it is usually more than 15 seconds. For another, even if it doesn't cause death in small doses, it is still annoying. As a (amateur) player of wind instruments, I need to be able to take in as much air as I can, and cigarette smoke doesn't help with that.

Also, it smells awful.

monkeydelarge: More than 15 seconds, how? If someone is smoking, you can just walk away from him or her. OR you could ask the person who is smoking to move to another location.
That's the problem, non smokers did ask smokers to move to another location... and then another, and another... first they took the planes, then half the restaurants, then all the restaurants, then the public buildings, now they're taking parks and apartment buildings. Give it another 5 or 10 years and the only place you'll be able to smoke is in your bathroom with a smokeless ashtray, and only between the hours of 5-10 pm, and only so long as no children are within 1,000 miles of your residence.

And the second hand smoke thing is crap. If second hand smoke killed people, everyone who ever worked at a bar would have died from lung cancer a long time ago. I would think that bartenders and waitresses get a bit more exposure to smoke than 15 seconds at a time.

drewpants: People who think that there should be some form of legal legislation that supports their personal taste, so things like laws relating to second hand smoke, censorship (swearing for fucks sake), violence in videogames/films/comics and so on.

It all of these cases the evidence of these things being harmful is at best divisive, so it really dumps in my ice cream when people call for laws that curtail civil liberties based on 'Well I don't like it.'

Also, within this - people who don't understand the difference between their opinions being a right and being valuable. I would fight to allow anyone to be allowed to express their opinion, but they have to accept that just because you express an opinion, it doesn't mean that the views expressed are informed or valuable.

Also, people who write overly long responses to simple questions when they should be working...

dtgreene: I have an issue with your stance on secondhand smoke. It is, in fact, known to be harmful, and besides, it smells bad.

I could, in fact, list it as a personal hate.
No, no it isn't.

It is known that some studies suggest it is harmful, others suggest that it is far less harmful than is often claimed - so the result is that is disputed and not proven, which is a pretty poor reason to impose bans.

I bet some of these non smokers think the second hand smoke is like the fog from the horror movie, The Fog.

Intense second-hand smoking is harmful in the long term, and that is indeed no reason to get hysterical at any contact with a puft of smoke. As a non-smoking friend of quite a few smokers (people who seem much more concerned about bothering me with their smoke than I am, and I do not particularly enjoy that smell), I'm also a bit irritated by their forced exile from more and more public zones (even open air), and seriously pissed by the self-righteousness of some puritans just too happy to get an excuse to go "play cop" whenever they visually spot a cigarette within 500 meters. BUT ANYWAY.

I only wanted to point out that the gre- prefix MIGHT be getting slightly worse than the -gate suffix. "Grexit", "grebt", "grefault", "grisis", "gretigue"... Gretarded grecabulary for gretins.

Greedy people abusing their profession, some plumber in the neighbourhood was fixing some water stuff and replacing a water heater for a friend, not only he charged her a hefty sum for his petty work, but also lied on the products price, telling her it costed 11 euro more than it originally was.

My personal hate is the so called professional PC Technicians lieing in their customer's face, exaggerating about their computer's conditions to sell an additional component or two. Being a tech myself, seeing these kind of scams pisses me off.

Don't you think you're being a little harsh to White Anglo Saxon People?

I hate extremely slow/stupid/high/rude customers. Fuck off and die.
I hate pop music, pop punk and generic rock, some pop music can give me an honest to god headache.
I hate soda, been 5 years since I kicked that.
I hate cigarettes, stopped that before it became an addiction, and they took my grandfather away.
I hate small talk, it feels so forced and fake so I always just silently stare at anyone who does it.
I hate how fast my paychecks get eaten up.
I hate complete narcissists. Most annoying people on the planet to deal with.
I hate my mental disorders, my OCD tendencies, and my need for perfectionism.
I hate blind optimism.
I hate stoner humor.

Oh, and most people in general suck too! =)

Of course it is harmful. I don't really care if it's less harmful or more harmful than some people claim but it is definitely harmful.
Besides it even can result in a non-smoker becoming addicted to nicotine.

If you have a habit that is bound to bother other people one would expect you to still be considerate of these people.
If you're addicted to nicotine that's not my problem- I expect of any smoker to be considerate of other people.

I didn't know they did Wild Child. I particularly like their liberally titled album "The Headless Children" and song "Animal (I fuck like a beast)"
