Ridiculously descriptive to be a "type" of person. Basically you know a guy who is the above and he annoys you deeply for some reason, probably because he got one over on you at some stage and you're still bitter about it.

Righteous judgemental types who make unreasonable assumptions about people having never even met them:D

I hate smoking, no problem saying that. I don't hate smokers, if people want to smoke that's their choice. Unless they blow smoke in my direction or smoke around kids. Or chuck their buts on the ground. Not ok.

People obsessed with branding themselves... I just don't get it! Why do you have to get a jumper with 'Hollister' sprayed all over it? Or 'Abercrombie' in big obvious letters across the chest? Or even the Nike Air Max tracksuits?? Then there's the Apple obsession... never bought an Apple product in my life and I don't see why I should get one

Yes, agreed. I don't want to be branded like a cow thank's with product/company names on me. I buy trackies for running and I take off the brand labels off them when I can as I'm not interested in providing free advertising for multi-billion Euro corporations.
I think it smacks of insecurity and a conformist mindset with a lack of creativity or imagination wanting people to notice what brand you wear/use. How individual and cool you are to want to show off brands that millions of others have! lol

I don't get the Apple obsession either.

What grinds me about the smug liberal is:

1) The patronising way they pick up on everything you say and if you discuss a certain group of people, or God forbid an ethnic group, they'll jump to their defence no matter what's happened. Oh well they're not all like that. It won't even be a criticism. It'll be like the Polish builders we had recently have been great, they were such hard workers. Oh well they're not all like that, you'll get hard working Irish builders too :rolleyes: Which of course there is but a passing comment doesn't need to be an argument, usually said in a condescending tone, about nationalities or ethnic groups.

2) Generally are unable to hide their contempt if you are any different to them. Any political statements you make which aren't happy clappy liberal will be analysed and criticised extensively. In fact having a calm discussion with a smug liberal is almost impossible to have nothing because they want to argue about everything.

3) Preaching anti religion and making anti relgious comments at every opportunity which is ironically the thing they hate most about religion. They're strangely defensive about Muslims however although that's probably due to Muslims being the targeted group at the moment.

4) Self loathing is another key factor. Anything resembling national pride or a cultural activity which is common practice in their native country is generally treated with disdain. Cultural cringe. Anything abroad is better.

5) The worst thing about them though is the arrogance. The smugness. The constant oh when I was doing charity work, backpacking, supporting gay rights. It's forever rammed down your throats. Any disinterest is seen as a challenge or is looked at disdainfully. Why aren't you interested? It's your planet. Why aren't you making a difference? Please...

I can never understand people doing that. I hate talking about other people like that, either infront of them or when they aren't there. It made me very uncomfortable. Infact it pissed me off a great deal, I hate that ****. It's like gossiping and bitching rolled into one.

People being called "judgemental" puzzles me a little. Does everyone not "judge" other people? Is that not how you distinguish between people you'd like to be friends with and people you'd like to avoid? Or is someone "judgemental" if they say that they don't like others because of certain traits?
If, for example, I didn't want to be friends with someone because they were a homophobic racist, would that not make me judgemental? If I tell a friend off for cheating on their girlfriend, does that make me judgemental? If I am unattracted to a girl because she is overweight and a smoker, is that judgemental?
Or should a non-judgemental person look deeper to try to find why someone might be a homophobic racist/cheat/unattractive?
Or does it centre on me thinking that I am, in some sense, "better" than people who, after a hard upbringing, have turned to crime and drugs (and even worse - dole scrounging! ) ?

I guess that would be everyone in this thread then....and seeing as I dislike judgemental people then I dislike that in myself ..because that is basically what all this means - other people are mirrors of what we see in ourselves and sometimes we don't like what we see, however, it generally means we have recognised that in ourselves and are doing something about it - thus the dislike of certain traits we see in others who don't recognise it in themselves and so are doing nothiing about it.

I doesn't make them better than you across the board, but they've likely given more thought to philosophical quandaries than you, which makes them better in that respect.

As for all the Apple hatred, yeah, they're overpriced, but the iOS devices have the largest and best selection of apps and the smoothest, simplest, most premium-feeling user experience.
If you don't need those, stick with Android or Windows 8 and enjoy all the choices you're missing.
If Windows 8 or Android were best I'd flip to either one, no problem, so I can't be accused of fanboy-ism.

Girls that don't masturbate annoy me.

Really? The thought that there's absolutely nothing after life can be rather depressing. If I believed that by not being a dick and by going to mass every once in a while I'd end up in eternal bliss, I reckon I'd be a substantially happier individual. Are you suggesting that one should let a little logic get in the way of potential happiness?

We're different people who obviously think different things.
I'd find looking at this life as a test-run for a potential eternity of something-ness, or more likely, nothingness, much more depressing.
Logic is essential to observing reality and taking advantage of it to make yourself happy while you can.
Whatever makes you happy, go for it, unless it forces negativity on someone else.

#liars,personaly speaking do not tell lies; partly due to it being a built in trait of neurology wiring [ie,lies are not real therefor did not happen] ,and partly because moraly do not believe in lying.people who lie make it very difficult to know how to trust anything people say.

#people with a mild form [or,ocasionaly works the other way-profound form] of a disability attempting to speak on behalf for everyone with it despite the disability being a very large and complex spectrum.especialy the "it isnt a disability,its a difference" group who campaign to get the disability status removed from a spectrum, some people have no quality of life and are severely or profoundly affected by the same condition,dont speak for someone have got no understanding of their issues of.

I think Irish people have every right to complain about RTÉ considering we pay for it.
I don't accept that I should just change channel: I pay for it and as our national broadcaster, I want it to be of a high standard. If it doesn't reach that standard I'm entitled to complain.

I'd rather pay the tv license than to be fined or worse to be honest. Nobody is going to be pleased with RTE and its programming 24/7 too. In fairness to RTE I've loved The Voice, Republic of Telly and The Savage Eye. My sons love RTE Junior and I can only commend RTE for having an all kids station at last. If that's what my tv license is paying for I'm happy and the kids are happy and that's all that matters. If I don't want to watch something I change the channel simple as. It's not like RTE is the only broadcaster available to most of us anymore.

The likelihood of educating yourself about the religions of the world and thinking positively about one or any of them afterwards is slim, yet many do this, so it must be that their critical faculties are in some way broken or handicapped, or untrained.
The amount of born and bred religious fanatics who think the one they happen to have been born into is undeniably the correct one also beggars belief.

I didn't say it made them better "full-stop", I said it makes them better in that respect. Some people who're curious about philosophy and renounce religion turn into pathetic nihilists, who are undeniably worse than most religion fans.

Shíte drivers.

I'd say, given how often I encounter these types of people, it'd be a close tie between populist socialists and shíte drivers. They have something in common though; both suffer from their ignorance, lack of education and unwillingness to learn. They would rather keep doing something extremely poorly (driving/talking about politics and economics) than to take some time out, learn and come back and do it well.
