Do You Have a Moron-Deal Breaker Point of Reference with people?

MyLove4Satan · 29-03-2022 2:14pm #1

While I do not go around constantly judging people - as I am not a Christian - I still find myself using a person's particular taste in something as an indicator that myself and this individual will never be friends and I never want them near me.

For me the ultimate sign of someone being a moron I never want near me is they think Mrs Brown's Boys is good TV.

Religion.... if they allow some religion dictate how they live then they instantly drop in my estimation and are not for me.

Buys a lotto ticket/scratch card more than once a year. Bonus points when they hold me up in the shop.

I think you do go around judging people, deciding who is a Moron. And you are in good company here with the Can't Stand, Most Annoying Voice, Biggest Idiot and more threads where people are being judged all the time.

If someone indicates to me that they in any way believe in astrology or the supernatural that's a massive indication that they are not the kind of person I'd chose to go for a pint with...

Hive-mind liberal morons!

Especially the type who are inclined to bully others into falling in line with their group-think consensus.

It really should be recognized as an official mental illness. Perhaps they will come up with a cure one day... we can only hope! 😆

km991148 · 29-03-2022 5:12pm

And also Hive-mind right wing morons!

Especially the type to regurgitate nonsense from the right wing press that uses their power to bully marginalised groups.

Maybe one day there will be a cure :D

km991148 · 29-03-2022 5:13pm

May as well stick down people that view the word in binary/ black and white. R vs L etc - there is no nuance anymore... but this is turning into a(nother) rant thread really.

Tribalistic zealots may be the term you're looking for.

Just using your username and numerology, it would be easy to work out that you feel that way.

You also don't believe in tasseomancy, especially the beer version (divination by the pattern the beer leaves on your glass), so there will be no pint in suggesting that for when you head to the pub...

conspiracy theories - when they start talking about 9/11 being staged, and 5G being mind control or vaccines make you sick --> i'm out of here

People who don't like any sports whatsoever. Or people who don't drink without a good reason.

Inability to listen. When you're chatting and you listen to them for a while, and when you speak they latch onto something you say and they're off again. Im sure we all do it from time to time so it's not a straight red card, but it's red flag

theguzman · 29-03-2022 6:18pm

Covid being all conspiracy, NWO, Anti-Vaxxer, anti-Ukrainian refugees and of these Gemma O'Doherty fringe far-right types. Bunch of stone mad lunatics, and really damaging what can be genuine points of debate. Any sort of equally leftwing extremists can go take a running jump before I'd associate with them.

The supernatural is just stuff science does not understand yet. I am into it. I find it wonderfully interesting in fact.

Coivd is not all a conspiracy, but more and more people are seeing it for a mega media hype for -sinister no matter how you look at it - government control and corporate profits that it most certainly is. Sorry but there is something very dodgy about certain elements of it beyond virology. Several governments around the world lost the run of themselves and openly came close to fascism when they thought they had a chance for it. This alone is deeply troubling.

A lot of people I meet in Canada think this is standard Irish humour so I have as much hope of changing that as getting them to pronounce my name correctly. I’ve got friends from the entire political spectrum here. A loudly pro-Trump relative began to wear me down after the third day when I made the mistake of debating with him. Can’t say any viewpoint is a non-starter. It’s cold and we need each other.

They might not want to say tho, so how do you know if someone has a good reason?

I used to think that way until I got older. A lot of people are guided by nothing at all, and many people are guided by impulse only and live fairly valueless lives.

I understand Ireland's difficult relationship with the Catholic Church and what was/is a pretty doctrinaire religion, but many people of faith do amazing things off the back of it - and faith communities are very important to millions (billions?) of humans worldwide.

Live and let live, there is always an underlying good message at the heart of the major world religions if you peel away what's on the surface and some of the dogmatic and ambitious that give religion a bad name. And there's at least an attempt to set the flawed world of man to rights in most faiths.
