Top list of people I can't stand listening to talk... (no particular order)

Dr. Phil - Okay, I'm sure there's a lot of people out there who can't seem to figure out a logic problem as simple as which of these shapes fits into a round hole, a triangle, a square, or something round. But do they really need some arrogant, middle-aged, balding man with the charisma of a tree stump to point this out? Does he really think he's helping these people? It's shows like his that are helping to dumb down American intelligence. Just give it up.

Spike Lee - Angry can be funny, angry can be intelligent, angry can prove a point, just listen to some Lewis Black. But anger aimed at the same topic over and over in such a way that really does nothing but make you sound like a broken record of race wars really doesn't help you case. Yes, racism exists, I get it. Okay, people of other races and cultures don't get a fair shake. Sure, I see that. But when all your complaints, rants, and movies are all race biased, you're not helping. Making all black comments is just as racist as all white. Just a different side of the coin. Same point pretty much goes for all racial comedy, heaven forbid a white guy makes a race joke...

Any generic feminist - I'm calling bullshit. You're not looking for equality, you're looking for superiority. I'm choosing feminism, because it's the first one to pop into my head, but pretty much any genre of gung-ho idealism fits. People looking for a way out of working hard for what they want and point the blame elsewhere, that's what it comes down to in my head. Women don't get a fair share, okay, so work hard and make "us" respect you. Show "us" your ideas and prove they are actually good. Don't right a speech about how historically the female mind has been oppressed, show us you shouldn't be. You can shove all the stats you want down my throat, it's only going to make me NOT want to listen to you even more. Numbers can be skewed to prove any point, ask any politician. I'm not saying I don't agree, some of the smartest people I know are female, and they do deserve a fair share of the pie. Just get off your soap box, and use it to prove your point, not preach about it.

Tel-evangelists/ religious zealots - I guess I just don't like being preached at and having someone else's views forced down my throat. I can think for myself. Unless you can prove your religion is the one true idea of God, or if you can prove with FACTS that God even exists, hand me a pamphlet and let me read it. No need to force your ideas down my throat and tell me I'm a horrible person, for not agreeing with you. Maybe you're an evil person for not listening to others.
