NASCAR

Peoples fascination with ZOMBIES

TV reality shows

The Kardashians

Miley Cyrus

Hip Hop music

67drake 11-28-2013 09:59 AM

Text messaging

Video games

Soccer

99% of movies made these days

Black Friday shopping

The Boss 11-28-2013 10:02 AM

My ex-wife

Kids with their pants down around their ***es

Fart mufflers & that stupid loop under the rear bumper

The metal ball sack some guys hang from the trailer hitch on their trucks

Stacks

Half-Inch Stud 11-28-2013 10:30 AM

ALL OF the above,

expensive wine.
expensive economy cars.
digital keyboards for music.
concept of Government making NEW laws each year.
School tax for public schools.
Why the Earth's core is still molten hot.
Why Saturn & Jupiter's core temperature is not discussed/taught.
How the Gravity geometric center-of-balance between Earth&Moon is on/at the Earth's surface.
How plantlife can survive/flourish with such little CO2 in the air.
Why rotary engine exhaust is more than 1000F hotter than 2&4-stroke piston engine exhaust.
Why Desmodromic valve-trains have not been more prolific on our V8s.
Why JESUS has not yet separated the wheat from the weeds.

well, no need for me to go on about it huh.

22" wheels.

10-foot-tall pickups that look like a good shove would tip them over.

BOP cars with Chevy engines.

Why ALL street rods seem to be Chevy-powered. Wouldn't a small block Ford be a good choice for a '32 roadster?

Dogs dreaming

30-round magazines. Jeez, learn to aim.

Why does a drive through ATM have braille on the keys?

Why do hot dogs come in packages of 10, while the buns come in packages of 8?

Why do 24 hr stores have locks on the doors?

Why do people call it a hot water heater? If your water is already hot, why do you need to heat it?

Well...
 
Since you brought it up...

Guns you don't shoot.
Cars you don't drive.
Hunting and killing things you can't/won't eat.
Diesel engines that knock and smoke when they are NEW.
Camouflage.
Beautiful women covered in tattoos.

I know...I'm old.

59safaricat 11-28-2013 08:35 PM

Those who stab the gas and brake at every stoplight/stop sign, as well as in heavy traffic. Then, profusely complain about horrible gas mileage and repeated brake service requirements.

Businesses that spend tons of money in areas where it shouldn't be spent and tightwads in critical areas. This includes my DA employer.

Those who profusely complain about the lack of money yet spend like raging imbeciles.

Where common sense and curtsey is hiding out.

Music of the past 35 years.

TV shows of the past 15 years (generally reality shows).

Those who blast music at insane levels inside their cars. Who wants to be deaf before the age of 30, or old age, for that matter?

Tattoos/piercings

Smoking, excessive alcohol and drug abuse. (Forking out lots of cash to destroy oneself.)

Purple hair

Government

Signing the words to the National anthem when they are written on the jumbotron at a ball game??

This will be a controversial one.
"Canned Hunting".
http://www.theguardian.com/environme...bred-slaughter

I can understand hunting in the wild for something you will eat & your prey has some chance, but this?????
BTW, I am not a tree hugging hippy. I just don't get it.

"Canned Hunting".

Every town has grocery stores that are closer and the hunting of game seems to require gear, gadgets, scopes, range finders, 4 wheelers, trailers, dogs (that can get killed in the process by these sharp shooters attempting to "hunt"), license fees, hunting leases, etc..

Why is it against the law[and it should be] to txt while driving,but 1/3 of the dash in most new cars is a big ass computer screen to watch videos,gps and whatever else can distract a driver.

Definitely this. Along with this - an over-reliance on GPS and such. I remember a drive with a friend when I knew where we were going, had been there before, but he insisted on setting up his GPS so we wouldn't get lost... WTF?

I second this one! When you see what smoking can do to a loved one and end their life in such a degrading way if dosent make any sense to me. And you pay for it to happen! Thats nuts. Those of you that do, please think about it and maybe you can be there for your kids and grandkids. Rant over, carry on...

Typically the "delete" option was only made available when the radio was standard content.

- or - why gas prices fluctuate so wildly? Why can it be $3.09 on the way in to work, and then $3.40 after work, at the same station?

Similarly - what happened to diesel? For my whole life diesel was cheaper then gasoline. What caused that to go upsidedown?
