My list could be endless! but that would be pointless having read prevoius threads the media can be very annoying and the person thats gets me rageing is John Simpson the worlds correspondent for bbc news i remember him from the last arab war in the early nineties.

With his arrogant public schoolboy manner he has a way of delievering the news that he is personally helping win the war with deluded ego and his bullet proof jacket i laugh at his antics!.He even brings out biographys for what he is doing behind enemy lines not risking jack shit i pray that in tripolio a sniper may take the old fart out now that would be something to rejoice about.

Also i bought a old vhs tape of barbra streisand a very talanted singer no dout she was doing a concert around 1986 she was conserned about the nuclear fallout in russia and said that the wind dont care if your black white rich or poor this i can take as a good point she had not sung for a number of years she was charging £5000 a ticket in the shot of the audience non other then saddam hussein with his wife no dout they arrived by private jet .

This made me laugh as we know what saddam was trying to go nuclear and nearly did.He makes my blood boil and the arab world why are they so jealous and angry im sick to death about seeing them rioting and causing trouble they want a democratic goverment then demand it and stop installing dictator leaders like gaddify and hussien.Its pure crazy and i feel that a third world war will come but when i dont know but i bet the middle east will start it down to religion and a holy war.

If i had my way religion would be abolished end off then the world could resolve so much conflict also i would a have world goverment then that would end the third world poverty also i would remove the debts these countries have.

Also certain celibrities such as kerry katona. jordon,chris evans.christine bleakly she is greedy smug enough said about her and joey barton would be send to siberia for hard back breaking slave labour.

Also all girly magazines would be removed anything to do with disney would be deleted and any to americanised movies.

Also what i cant understand how is adam sandler a movie star hell he not funny well i you want share you pet hates.

nothing annoys me about the world, whats the point in being annoyed?

I do agree about adam sandler not being funny tho and I suppose if I was forced (at gunpoint ) to watch one of his films all the way thro I would be mildy displeased

just wanted to use the smiley really

edit: I should say that I used to sometimes get annoyed about the most trivial of things. I have absolutely no idea what happened (if anything) to change this as it didn't happen overnight. Don't really feel the need to know

The way we're standardising everything (products/buildings/mindsets...everything) and thereby ripping the creativity and soul out of everything we do.

The way things like intelligence and wit are marginalised by fear.

Simon. Fucking. Cowell.

I could go on but will resist!

PS

What's with all negativity?

Your exactly as big as what you love and as small as what you let annoy you.

I appreciate what you are saying and the spiritual/developmental perspective you are inferring, but do you not think there is room for identifying problems in the world and hoping to change them for the better? Then again, I can't change them so why do I bother with the wasted energy lol?

I suppose what I'm trying to say is that are there not dangers to too much passivity in that problems are allowed to run amuck, the whole "good men doing nothing" aspect?

PS

I get frustrated at the lack of common sense demonstrated daily by most of society. Generally I assume everyone else actual takes a second to decide whether what they're doing is a good or bad idea first like I do, apparently they don't.

That or they're just stupid.

You can still question stuff without getting annoyed and you don't need to be un-satisfied to ask questions and make changes

Oh ye we all have desires to understand stuff but it doesn't have to come from annoyance

I don't see annoyance as the polar opposite of satisfaction

The obvious analogy is China. China's already had a damn good go at wiping out Taoism, possibly the most elegant and natural spiritual system in history. It wouldn't surprise me if Tibetan Buddhism was to follow. So you have people's dedicated to similar philosophies of non resistance, natural law, compassion, peace...who can be scrubbed out of existence by the stroke of a military planner's hand. This is the trouble I have with being too relaxed about all things, most things yes, but not all. On the one hand it's very seductive and peaceful to live in that philosophical space, I have a spiritual side that yearns for this, on the other hand it can be dangerous. Negative emotion is not always bad, usually but not always. It's there for a reason, it's supposed to be a catalyst for action. Trouble is we tend to get hooked into it, I'm with you in so far as it's something to be managed mindfully.

PS

True, but there are things you can control and things you can't. Do sweat the shit you can't change don't even have it in your life if you can help it.

Shouldn't we all be progressing or should I say evolving into people who have the ability to change the world into a better place?
