Blind adherence to any given thinking which reduces empathy, compassion and critical thinking.
'The X Factor', 'Pop Idol' and any other mind numbingly crass pap exploitative tv.
Power cuts.
Being unable to decide what else is so annoying as worth mentioning and being stupid enough to write this sentence.

Men who wear sleeveless shirts...on airplanes...to restaurants...to the grocery store...to the mall...everywhere in public.
Folks who talk on cell phones in lines I am in (thanks, TH!). Oh, and by the way, as a wireless communications expert I can tell you that talking louder on the cellphone does not increase cell phone reception at the other end. :squint:
The word "awesome" used with a casualness that indicates how low the expectations of some really are these days.
Getting home with the take-out only to discover they fouled up my order.
Drivers who cannot distinguish the Mumford lane from the Hammer lane.
Baseball caps worn by men backwards or cocked sideways.
Speech peppered with vulgarity.
Neighbors who like to mow their lawns at 7AM on Sunday.
Ill-behaved children in public.
Men who treat women disrespectfully.
Willful ignorance. Never suffer a fool gladly.
Disdain for digging deeper and actually trying to understand the views of another.
Internet anonymity used as an excuse to act differently than one would act in the presence of their loved ones...or their Pastor.
"Just me and my Bible" wing-nuts. :squint:
Persons who cannot understand the difference between face-to-face verbal and written communications. Everything to them is just meandering streams of consciousness.
Double-mindedness--lack of a disciplined mind.
Anyone that mistreats my loved ones.
Lovers of heresy.
Mediocrity.
The helplessness I feel when my loved ones are suffering.

Ministers who teach Christians are obligated to tithe - in order to bolster their ministry's bottom line - under the guise of "just trying to preach the truth and help you with your finances."
Pastors who feel it is OK to publically speak negatively about people but forbid anyone from even publically questioning their teachings.

or in other words hinders the nature of Christ from being formed within and keeps people in a state of immaturity.

-The expression "Ignorance is bliss"
-Those who portray Jesus as a 21st century imperialist capitalist.
-Biblicism
-Our individualistic contentment culture.
-What I call "TV-dinner culture" which is not really about food, but about simple easy-accessible music and movies who have no other goal than to distract and entertain at a very superficial level.
-Religious fundamentalism leading to willful ignorance when encountering science.

People who portray Jesus as a socialist/communist, as if He supposedly taught that you should use threat of force to take money from people who earned it, to give it to people who didn't earn it, all for the sake of making things more "fair."

People who are opposed to the National Endowment For The Arts because it supposedly takes a lot of money from honest,hard-working taxpayers to support "obscene art" and want it to be abolished.
In fact, the NEA does much more than this and is supposed to support
things such as symphony orchestras,opera ballet and dance companies etc, and other artisitic endeavors which no reasonable person could disapprove of.
In addition, the government takes LESS THAN A DOLLAR from each taxpayer per year to support the NEA, which is pitiful.
So what is happening in the arts world in the US? Many of our great symphony orchestras and opera companies are struggling to stay alive, and some have gone under.
Some people say that private philanthropies should support these performing arts organizations. They do provide some help, but not nearly enough. In Europe, generous government support for opera companies and orchestras is taken for granted, and no one there objects to it, and classical music is flourishing there.
And people who aren't classical music fans and say they don't want to contribute tax money to support classical music in America forget that we all have to contribute tax money to things we don't like or approve of. The same people who don't want to contribute tax money to classical music organizations are perfectly willing to pay a lot of tax money to support the futile and disastrous Iraq war.
And remember- if America's orchestras and opera companies do well, it's very helpful to the economy and business. It creates many jobs and is very beneficial to the US.
But the jobs of thousands and thousands of talented,dedicated and hard-working classical musicians are in jeopardy in all 50 states,not to mention the many people who work on administrative staffs.
This is not good.
