school help: Why can’t we all get along? - Help.com

It bothers me when people feel they have to repeat things over and over again as tough I have a hearing disability, or people that never hear what you say and the only response you ever hear out of them is, “what?” It also bothers me when people drive stupidly and in a hurry only to get to their destination at the same time as they would have anyway. I can probabally think of some more as I’m on here… ill keep posted… lol

I get pretty irritated when people make their drama and stress your problem. It happens all the time, a customer comes in to a resturant or office and wants something done such and such a way right away. . . and everyone is on their way out to go home for the night and then throws a temper tantrum about not getting the service they desire.

I hate gossiping, especially when people who don’t even know you at all are doing it to you behind your back simply because they lack anything else to do and they feed off of chaos to get through their days.

I don’t like it when people hang up on you or refuse to take your phone calls. I think that is an extremely controlling and abusive tactic to gain the upperhand in a situation.

My roommate is from New Zealand. . . it really bothers me that everywhere we go we get stopped by some person or another going wow you are from New Zealand I took a vacation there blah blah blah. . .. he’s from another country, yes they have telephones, bicycles, cars, mcdonalds and computers there. . . . move on from it. About the only thing different about this guy is that he’s obsessed with american flag belt buckles. . The accent is annoying not sexy try living with him :)

yea you know . . . I have to say that in circumstances where it is a church or any volunteer effort where there is no consequence for lack of commitment to something. . . its a problem. The challenge as a leader is to either create consequences or create rewards greater than their efforts. . . but that is REALLY annoying.

- People gossiping all day long.
- Christians who repeatedly tell atheists they’ll go to hell.
- Religion being used as an argument in political debates. God and politics should NOT be put in the same sentence.
- People who won’t stop pressing the horn in traffic jams. look, we’re all stuck here, it’s not gonna make you move forward quicker.
- Careless idiots who don’t let people get off the bus first before stepping in.
- Charity people on the street who insult you or give you a bad look for not donating anything. Look, I have no change in my pockets and I’m wondering how I’ll pay my rent this month. Plus, did it not cross your mind that I could have given money to one of your 100 other colleagues working on this very same street too before I reached you? so, give me a break.

Wow, I sound like such an angry person. lol

when people start looking at the bad tts in me

OK, brought in here from the other post:

I think you are a nice person, and I even agree with some of the things you are saying. And I realize that I have made you sad. I apologize for that, I do not want to hurt you.

But whether or not I agree with you is not the point. I have not targeted you and I am not attacking you as a person. But sometimes I run into something you say in a post.
I may agree with what you are saying or I may disagree. I may comment on it or I may not. But when you are saying something that may be offensive to others’ beliefs, I will want to object.

I quote: “If you deny Him then you are praising satan, whether you accept it or no.”

What gives you the right to say this about people you don’t know? Because it is stated in a book, written almost 2.000 years ago?

If I was a salesman for Mars candy bars and said that people who don’t like Mars “are not only wrong, but they praise Snickers”, it would be a violation against this site’s rules. I don’t think it would cause any action from the website, because it would just be regarded as stupid, without value.

I see the above citation as “imposing” your beliefs onto people in an inappropriate way. As a comparison, I will pick another citation: “I love the Lord and desire to help others the best and only way I can. I pray for those that need it and hope that something I said will help.”
I see a lot of difference in the two. The latter citation is not only appropriate, but it is also touching. I believe that you are honest, and that makes you a good person.

But I think it is serious when we are touching people’s inner beliefs, and we easily become offensive to how they live their lives.

I have a friendly relation with a wonderful person, Silverwings. She tuned down her “pushy” style a bit (at least what I can see).

I don’t mind that you mention God or Jesus, or that you believe in things. As long as you don’t look down on people who don’t, or at least express it in a downgrading way. Because that is what it is, when you don’t accept other people’s opinions as valid.

N.b. It is different when you make a post which discusses religion. In a such post, the ceiling must be much higher and some punches may be expected. The one who does not want that, is not forced to read the post. The website has rules for this too, but I guess they are more liberal in them.

And yes, I regard myself as Christian, because I honor values which I have credited that rebellion from Nasareth (I may even believe in some other God stuff from the Bible). It does not matter to me how he died, or who’s physical son he was. And if you look at the definitions of what “Christian” means, you will get thousands of them. You may believe that your definition is correct, but what gives you the right to tell other people that their definition is faulty? A lot of those fractions have fought for their definitions, even killed for them. How “Christian” is that?

Jehova’s Wittnesses regard themselves as Christians. I may be wrong, but it seems to me like they are measuring it by how many “hallelujahs” they can say in their church, and by how many they can convert. But I have not seen them make any good deeds… But as I said, I may be wrong. I don’t say that Jehova’s Wittnes are bad or wrong, I just do not understand the “Christian” in their actions.

But I have met many Muslims, in this site and outside. They honor Jesus in their way. Many of them are more “Christian” than most Christians I have met!

By the way, I disagree with you on a thing you said in this post, too.
But at least I can start by saying someting I agree upon.

That is when I am misunderstood and attacked for it (I guess that is what you feel when I am objecting to what you have said).
And when people don’t live up to their promised commitments.

But while talking religion, I don’t agree with religion in politics. The country was not built on God, it is only stated so because the guys agreed upon the constitution considered themselves being “God fearing” or whatever you call it. Consequently, they tried to build such values into the constitution.

But I think that most of the problems with violence from some Muslims, are the close ties between politics and the strictly religious side of islam. A such split is neccessary before a peaceful environment can be expected. Because the religious messages of islam is not more violent than the messages of the Old Testament, at least not with an updated interpretation of an old document. The Quran actually provides a such opportunity (Sura 3 v.7).

Christianity has had a more violent era as well, I believe much because it was more connected to politics. In some cases recently, like on Ireland. “A hidden agenda”, you may say.
But isn’t that what politics is?
