Aversions

Ugh!

Contrary to the common notion that one should not be “judgmental” but be “tolerant” of everything and everyone around one, I hold that it is important to have strong dislikes. Regarding this, Ayn Rand nailed a profound point in a brief sentence from The Fountainhead: “Alvah Scarrett had never hated anything and so was incapable of love.”

With that firmly in mind (and that what I like and love is scattered all over this site), here are my chief aversions:

Gum chewing

A disgusting, moronic habit. For fresh breath, there are mints.

Fidgeting, nail-biting, thumb-twirling, knuckle-breaking

Being able to sit still is part of being a grownup.

Talks, whispers, sneezes, coughs or fidgets during movies, plays and concerts

On such occasions I will shoot to kill. No jury will convict me.

Obesity, fat, flab

Illness aside, there's no excuse for being fat: just reduce the amount of calories you absorb and/or increase the amount of calories you burn.

Snakes

Kill them all!

Bureaucratic edicts, forms, taxes, permits, regulations

Kill them all.

Garish fluorescent store lighting

A crime against humanity.

Rap non-"music"

Nihilist racist noise.

Whew, it was a nasty job to list all that . . . merde.
