If they fall... I think you'll know the results. This pic here made me hate Planking completely:

It's gotten far enough.

Well that one looks completely photoshopped.

Alright, time to make a better post in this thread.

Drinking - Whenever I tell people this, they treat me like I'm a total wuss and don't know how to be social. That drives me completely and utterly crazy. I've tried plenty of alcoholic drinks before, including various different kinds of wine, champagne, and beer. They all taste bloody awful to me, excepting possibly some kinds of wine. But even then, I can never stand more than half a glass.

Texting - Holy cow. What's wrong with speaking!? Hell, I have a terrible stutter and can hardly ever get a word out, but I still prefer subjecting myself to that pain over texting. In the time I could have a conversation with someone through texting, I could have had the same conversation about 10 times over with spoken words.

Facebook/Twitter - I can absolutely see how it can be used to reconnect with old friends. But considering I don't really have any old friends I never see anymore, what else would I do? Talk to people I see on an every-day basis? That's what phones are for.

Marijuana - I really don't see the point. I have better things to do with my time than lay around stoned out of my ass.

The local freakazoid known as PowerGauntlets approves this post.

No seriously, I agree with everything here.

If you're one of the people who does marijuana (I'm not and never will be), you better be 200%
sure you're not supporting violent criminals. That goes for any illegal substances. Scary stuff.

I agree with alcohol. Of all the narcotics around, it's pretty amazing that alcohol is the legal one, when many experts say it's the worst drug you can be on.

On the other hand, what's life if you haven't ever puked your guts out by drinking too much ? But drinking on a consistent basis is pretty degenerate behavior, and there are other ways besides drinking to get your antioxidants .

Celebrities - I JUST DON'T CARE!

Realistic FPSs - I just don't find the realistic ones like CoD any fun at all. I really enjoy TF2 especially for its humor factor(I always chuckle when I hear a scout or spy die, painfully).

Phonecalling - Aside from family, I get all nervous when talking to people over the phone or even calling them.

Hmm, a disagree with the mainstream thing? Challenge ACCEPTED!

Drinking - This crap tastes gross. How the HECK do people BINGE this!?
Smoking (All Substances) - It stinks, it's annoying, and many people don't know how to keep themselves confined until the "highness" wears off, so they go around making a fool of themselves. Count me out.
Rap - I may be black, but even I find this hard to listen to. And even if it's mainstream, most topics are about the things parents should be teaching you not to get involved in. Besides, I also don't care for too many lyrical songs anyway, I just like the instruments, and Video Game Music.
First Person Shooters - Minus whatever the engine has to have to be it's own thing (Agents + Missons for 007, for example), they're all the same freaking thing, and get old VERY fast.
Justin Bieber - Eww, his music is gross sounding!
Nyan Cat - Annoying as hell, and pisses me off.
MLP: Friendship is Magic - I actually sat down and watched a few episodes, and this is just not for me. I honestly don't see what the squeals are about. Oversaturated.
Gamer Rage - Like seriously, what is yelling at the TV/Monitor/System, or throwing something going to solve? Get a life.
Fail Grammar/Mechanics - Makes it hard to understand the ideas you're trying to convey, your sentences are all slurred together and gross looking, and you look like you haven't passed the first grade. Even if English isn't your native language, punctuation is available in ALL languages, so there's no excuse for that nonsense.
Drama Queen/King - Making a whole scene out of nothing really, and just wants attention. No one cares, and never will. Go do something with yourself.
Giving an opinion on something that one hasn't tried/given a chance... - For example, someone looks at some food, and says "That looks disgusting! I bet it's gross! I'm not eating that!" At least try a small bite before deciding such things.

Well, that's about all the venting I think I need to do .

I grow my own. Simple solution, really. Just get it from some trustworthy growers. Never buy weed from strangers.

[Golden Chocobo]

Lots of anime haters here. Hm. *Resisting urge to rant*

Religion
Don't get it. Don't need it. Get along fine without it.

Vegetarianism
Many people that I've met recently are vegetarians. That's cool and everything, but I gotta have my meat. I mean, I feel for those poor cows, chickens and pigs, but... Y'know. Bacon is delicious.

Call of Duty, Halo, etc.
The only FPS I enjoy is Left 4 Dead.

Hopefully that doesn't include smoking from a tobacco pipe- which is way better than smoking cigarettes or cigars- and way more classy, and a great social activity. Plus, it feels appropriate smoking a pipe whilst discussing poetry and politics and gambling in the world of poker. Speaking of which...

Poetry: Yes, I can hate my artistic medium. :B No, but I really have been hating, well, more or less modern poets. Especially the emo kids who write about how they embody all the misfortune in the world. Now, if I ran into myself from 3 years ago, I'd probably kick my 17 year old ass for being like that. Now, everyone feels pain and depression and s***, and it can hit hard, but you're the one letting it take over your life. Write about what you WANT to write about, not always what you feel. Also, don't call yourself a poet because you think you wrote a poem. When you can look back and realize you were a s***ty writer, when you've been constantly trying to perfect your talents, and always trying new ideas and concepts... Then you have a start. You're free to write poetry, but goodness, writing poetry and being a poet are two entirely different things.

No, ALL. All of it stinks >:C. ESPECIALLY Tobacco and cigars...makes my nose burn.

I am going to agree with those who dislike drinking alcohol, beer, and wine. I have never tasted any before but I know I dislike the smell, and I generally dislike the taste of things that don't smell good.

*adds to list...*

People that say they don't like something before they've even tried it: Ok, so maybe it's not "popular", but damnit I'm going to b**** anyway!

Lulwut? Most users either grow their own or buy directly from someone that does. The drug cartels deal more with manufactured drugs like cocaine and heroin. In any case, all the more reason to legalise the stuff. Get it out of the control of unscrupulous criminals and under the control of unscrupulous businessmen

Oh I forgot one:

Stumble Upon/Tumblr - While I have nothing against these themselves, I just don't understand what all the popularity is about. If you want to do something when you're bored, instead of wasting precious time wandering around aimlessly on the internet, go do something productive, like drawing, making a game, accomplishing homework, or whatever else o-o;.

[Moonbread]

Isn't Tumblr a blogging site? Are you saying that blogging isn't productive? My good sir, writing is much more productive than anything else I can think of. As for Stumble Upon, you should try it. I don't use it very often, but when I do, it can lead to some pretty cool stuff. There's nothing wrong with being unproductive every now and then. Heck, I haven't even showered today, and it's noon. And I've been awake for 2 hours. I'm just kind of sitting here, talking to people... It doesn't get anything done, but it doesn't mean I'm squandering my time away. Relaxation is an important part of a daily routine.
