wow, is that a real thing?[/QUOTE]
Rexism is basically the idea that a single party that adheres to a single (usually Catholic) religious doctrine and has strict rules on social order including how people dress, act, what they practice, etc.

Wikipedia literally defines Rexism as "Clerical Fascism"

Sounds like someone with some conspiracy theories about dinosaurs, going by the name.
though, for all I know it may just be an awkward translation
He's just trying to hide the truth. I mean, look at his avatar!

Holy fuck this is way better
I'm getting into the dangerous territory of ranting about Facebook but this kind of thing:
[IMG]http://i61.tinypic.com/hs7rbm.png[/IMG]
just keeps coming up on my news feed. This is not a picture, these are words. Why can't these people just write a status or whatever instead of this? I'll tell ya why, it's because people are so accustomed to this kind of thing that the only way for them to read things is if it's in a picture. Facebook isn't a social app where I can keep up with my friends anymore, it's everything bad about other popular apps rolled up into one
I'm getting sick and tired of fauxlisophical, pseudo-poetic, passive-aggressive "rants" on my facebook feed. I come across them every other day and I have to damn near physically restrain myself from commenting TELL ME HOW YOU [B]REALLY[/B] FEEL.
How every car manufactured past 2011 has to have some dumb social media function.
If I want to check Facebook, I am not going to do it while driving. If my car is on but I am parked, I'll just check Facebook on the million other devices I own. This goes for almost every other new device. Stop trying to shoehorn terrible social media and tv functionalities into everything to make it "the perfect hub, the place to be" (Steam could be considered this but at least it has a purpose). I just want to watch videos and play some cool games.
Edit: in fact they mentioned this in a Top Gear episode
The le wrong generation thing pisses me off so much
I mean I pretty much exclusively listen to classic rock, but you don't see me going around saying "All new music is shit!" and all that. Come on, man. There was heaps of music that sucked in the 60s and 70s. Pre-Rubber Soul Beatles sounded like fucking One Direction.
You know what the top billboard song of 1969 was? Sugar Sugar by the Archies. This is the same year that The Stooges came out. Were they playing that on the radio? Of course not.
I really can't fucking stand minimalism in product design these days, especially in shit like stereo systems.
If you look at old high end stereo systems, they're a mass of downright nerd porn. Knobs, sliders, buttons, and knobs everywhere, each out in the open, and ready to be adjusted at a moment's notice.
Nowadays, you have a blank surface where the only buttons, besides power and volume, are for navigating through a horrible user interface on a tiny screen. You're forced to painfully navigate through menus in order to access settings that should be right in front of you.
I understand this with car stereos, you really can't fit knobs and faders on those. But I can't stand how stereo receivers nowadays gotta have a horrible digital menu for a fucking EQ, or speaker balance.
idk how popular it is but i hate when all the young people in my neighboorhood go on about minions and fart juicing
not really related to eachother but they wont stop with it
all the money spent on the juicers and the minions is a huge waste too

Really depends. I like minimalist aesthetics, but if it's to the detriment of function then it becomes bad.
I am fucking sick of the whole anti-feminism feminazi "all feminists are bad" "everything on tumblr is bad" "look at these crazies on tumblr lol!" "le trigger warning!!!!" circlejerk shitfest. It's gone on for almost a year now, it's getting fucking old. Yeah, some people on tumblr are crazy. Wow, thanks for pointing that out to me every day for almost a year everywhere by cherrypicking pictures of tumblr pages (and lots of them are satire)
I never see these so-called SJWs, I only see pictures of people making fun of them.
help

OK so Paul Walker's death was tragic and all but why are there STILL people posting "R.I.P Paul Walker" over and over again on FB

Same with Heath Ledger
Teen/early 20s libertarians who've decided they've got this shit figured out and anyone who disagrees is an idiot. But this also goes for a lot of socialists/communists the same age.
Find some vaguely radical ideology, research that and nothing else, refuse to listen to any differing opinions. That's politics for most young people I know.
cunt-faced mums with loud fucking annoying children, who happily trumpet down a phone angrily to other people but as soon as you tell her to shut her kids up she seems too afraid to do so. This is especially annoying when working in a shop and a kid is about to drop a lottery ticket station on herself while screaming and acting like a fucking monkey and the mum is like "sweetie please don't do that" when five second ago she was happily telling someone to fuck off on the phone right next to them.
The word culture being used for everything to make a really stupid argument about a non-issue.

"SJWs" do exist in real life, but not to the extent people think. I have ~2-3 "SJWs" on my facebook (who I went to school with), and it's just comical the shit they post. One girl moved to africa to marry a black guy JUST because she thought it was the "socially correct" thing to do. Every other post she makes is a conspiracy theory or how white people and cops should all be killed (no joke). The other posts mainly on rape issues but to extreme cases like "95% of men have raped! do NOT trust these vile creatures". From both those people they source crazy articles from obscure news sites.
The other "SJW" was actually an ex of mine, who was crazy on triggers and ect. I'd have to give her notice before any form of physical contact, whether it be a pat on the back or a hug, and she thought that all white guys were more likely to hurt her due do things she read online. She literally was on tumblr all day, trying to support and "expose abusers".
So yes, they do exist in real life, but these 3 people out of hundreds I know do not really show that they are taking over or anything.

How'd moving to a country with a completely different culture to grab a husband even work out for her? Curious if it worked out, or if she just gave up and went home

Anything she doesn't like about anything, she blames on the US and colonialism. But she's still there, if anything I think her and her husband might have moved to Europe
selfie sticks bother me more than they should

I was expecting something a bit more embarrassing. But that's nice for her I suppose.
Yet another Facebook rant
i keep seeing bunch of people sharing "le epik funny" stuff from absolutely unknown or crappy sources
example: one radio station which is listened by idk, 500-1000 people have a facebook page that has 500k likes, and what they do is post pictures taken from everywhere as long as they're viral or memes

if you check bunch of racing or car based games, you would still see people making cruises and stuff "For Paul", ffs they should let it go, it's been around 2 years

This is a popular trend that I despise. People shouting in youtube videos because they know it gets attention.
Also, here comes the kicker: "Don't forget to subscribe, hit the like button, share it with all your friends, we're going for 2 million likes, thanks a lot guys it really helps". Honestly, shut up. If people like your video, they'll show that by pressing the button. DON'T beg for it.

Virgin radio Lebanon I guess, right ?
Children/What has become of children. They're supposed to be humble, quiet, energetic and very curious. Now nearly every kid i see at the store or wherever is a bratty, spoiled rotten loudmouth grasping at some useless toy on the shelves begging it's parents to buy it. I thought visiting the only child left in my family, my (step?) cousin, on a vacation last year would be an enlightening experience, but he was just like the others. Piece of shit threw a rock, a heavy one too, at me for kicks.

What the fuck even is virgin radio lebabon anyway? All I see are facebook trash posts by them and I don't even know what they are.
