I'd also like to nominate/include nosey self righteous idiots who only hear half a conversation & who then decide to invite themselves into your private conversation. You know the ones who instantly think themselves an expert on the subject & tell you off for something they know nothing about. I think you're on to something here. I would like to put one particular version of these idiots at the top of the list: the idiots who (thankfully) do not have kids and probably will never have kids but feel the need to give you parenting advise and/or correct you on the way you are raising your child.

Speaking of people who think they know better than everyone else, let's pile in all the religious jerks who not only think it's their right but their duty to tell others how to live, think, speak and everything else, because their religion says so and "it's the only truth" I don't care who or what they worship! God, Allah, Jahve, Jehova, Vishnu, Buddha, holy cows, interwebz kitty pics or oddly shaped turnips! If they preach it at every opportunity to anyone within earshot, they're going in here!!!

Especially the ones that don't practice what they preach (ie christians that don't follow the 10 commandments)

Ah, yes, the diet/exercise nuts...the ones who like to state the obvious like 'eating less sugar & exercising more will make you healthier.' Do you really need to spend $29.95 (+$8.95 shipping & handling) for a DVD to tell you this? Then there's the exercise gurus with the latest 'high impact' exercise craze? Notice how it's called a craze, which sounds a lot like crazy... How can every new exercise program be more 'high impact' than the last? Then again, how do you gauge the impact level of an exercise routine? If you ask me for an high impact exercise routine, I'm going to give you an 8-pound sledge hammer and a pile of rocks...

You should live off a diet that is sugar free, lactose free, gluten free, nut free, preservative free, artificial color free, high fiber, vegan diet. That leaves...cardboard. Oh yeah, don't drink the water. It's contaminated.

The way I see it is that if 'meat is murder', lock me up and throw away the key because I am non-repentive serial killer.

How about we just call them extremists of all fashions--at least those that think you must be as extreme as they are or suffer a dire fate?

My Mother takes every opportunity to preach to me that I need multi-vitamins... Despite the fact that the brand she demands I take made me seriously ill.
I nearly got into a pitched battle with vegetableist (deleted)'s when their protest outside a well known burger store spilled out onto the road and they decided to shake my Wagon from side to side.... I gave full volume of air-horns, and mashed the throttle to add a little diesel fumes, to start towing that wagon the hell out of there..... if it had gone over, the dangerous liquids in transport would have melted their little absurd plastic shoes. I had a couple of thousand gallons of paint thinners on board in 50 gallon drums. I was deliberating on what explanation would have been the best should I have squished the toes of one of them... Thankfully it never came to that...
I have been "Told" by one vegetableist that meat is murder and that I am a sinner to the damnation of the seventh hell of someone or other that doesnt sound like they should be allowed to look after Chickens, let alone be left with Kids.... I gave the usual line that Mother Nature seams to disagree with her line of Carnivores that seam to be doing rather well. "Not the right answer...." Phwhatt?..... Who are THEY to decide what is or isnt the right answer?... They then announce that they are going to stand there and berate me until I throw away my meal. I inform them that they can go away now, as a smack in the face may be considered offensive by some... I ball up my fist as an example.... They threaten retribution... I stand up. Its the height thing... I am well over six foot, and "Biker" shaped, which is to say, modern day Viking look-a-like.... Its been said I look threatening even when I smile... in fact especially when I smile... they way sharks smile?... I cant help that. I just know it tends to end arguments easily, and I aint about to throw that hand away... So anyway, I stood up. Along with about a dozen of my Friends, all bikers, as we were out on a ride together, who unfolded themselves from the scenery like very heavy wall-paper.... Nut-job suddenly finds that his three friends are no longer in support.... As in, they had had it away on their toes.... express.
We all sit down again, laughing at their absurdity.
Now you all have the right to hold whatever total bull-feather beliefs that you should ever want, that is your right, no one is entitled to subvert whatever silly idea that you have, as long as you are not trying to hurt anyone else..... And in saying that, you have the right to believe, but you do not have the right to enforce your beliefs on anyone else.
Another thing, try it out on your Dad first. If he clips your ear and tells you you are being a silly twit, dont expect the general public to hail you as the new Caesar.....

If they preach it at every opportunity to anyone within earshot, they're going in here!!! I thought by adding the "interwebz kitty pics" and "oddly shaped turnips" I'd pretty much covered anyone who thinks they have a patent on any kind of spiritual truth...? I do still believe though that it's detrimental to the evolution of the human race when proven truth is cast aside in favor of a rediculous religious belief, just as I believe that as long as science has no proof against a religious claim, science needs to put up or shut up. Neither the existance nor non-existance of a god has been proven. Therefore, it should be a personal matter. Whether you believe or not, you shouldn't be subject to ridicule for it. On the other hand, when something HAS been proven, it needs to be acknowledged and beliefs need to be adjusted. Creationists, I'm looking at you! The fact that the universe is older than the Bible or Quran or whatever says it is, doesn't threaten your religion as it doesn't prove there's no God. It just proves that the people who wrote the particular piece of scripture that you hold so dear were wrong. It says something about people, not God. Let it go already!
