10 things I hate about the world we live in

*The way people twist the bill of rights (Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;) to prohibit the free exercise of religion in any manner.



*Hatred



*The way people throw millions and millions at social programs with utter disregard to the fact that the money is not their money, and when some people disagree with high tax rates, the throwers also start throwing around words like "mean-spirited" or "selfish". People are giving, they just don't trust agencies to distribute the giving properly. Let people give their own money.



*The way people will try to solve a moral issue like racism with affirmative action legislation, but then say "you can't legislate morality" when it comes to abortion.



*Narcissism



*Dishonest y



*The way people say "keep your morality out of my bedroom" but then say "I need your tax money" to pay for things that could have been prevented (an abortion, their counseling, HIV/AIDS treatments).



*The way some people want to take blame from an inanimate object (movies, video games, gangster rap) and place it on people (parents) when it comes to increased violence in our world, saying that parents should be more responsible for what their kids watch. Later, those same people want to take blame off people (criminals) and place the blame back on inanimate objects (guns) when the blame suits their biased political views.



*The way some people insult people of color, with the assertion that they are born with their alternative sexual preferences so that they can somehow tie themselves to anti-discrimination legislation in an effort to get tax money, corporate money or someone else's inheritance.



*The way some people misuse the word 'bigot'. A bigot is a person who is absolutely intolerant of any view that disagrees with their own. The word is being consistently slung at others by some of our nation's most bigoted voices.
