As discussed in the NB........so far, we have treehuggers (I staunchly disagree), cocky Canadians, and Pierce Brosnan singing Abba.

I would like to add "people who cannot figure out how to work a phone menu". Makes Jesus weep uncontrollably. ;)

Hmmmm slap me if you don't agree but I think Chuck Norris jokes and the people who tell them on a regular basis fit the criteria also.

No, I agree. The Norris jokes started off funny, but they wore their welcome thin.


Here's another: people who talk on their cell phones in public restrooms. Horrible! :o

Selz-I hate that, man! It's one thing to talk on the phone in your own private bathroom, but quite another when you're sharing a bathroom. RUDE! And it makes Jesus cry.:evil:

Two things that *definitely* make Jesus cry:

1) Being transferred 3 times on a service call to our internet provider and having to listen to musak for at least half of that 30-minute call.

2) A PM just sitting there in my outbox right here on HMC some 15 minutes after I pressed "send"

I KNOW dude!! Here the idea is to approach the roundabout looking to your right (the direction to which we give way) and if it's clear then keep going. But SO many people just stop dead at the line and wait for... nothing. LEARN HOW TO DRIVE YOU JACKASS!!!

This story *definitely* makes Jesus cry:

Canadian border guards have been told to bar a fanatic church group that was planning to protest the funeral of a man beheaded on a Greyhound bus, reports say.

NDP MP Pat Martin told the Winnipeg Free Press that Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day sent the alert to border guards Thursday.

The church group, described in a British documentary as "the most hated family in America," told CTV.ca earlier Thursday that it planned to protest at the funeral of 22-year-old Tim Mclean on Saturday.

Martin said his office was flooded with phone calls Thursday with Winnipeg constituents angered by the group's plan.

"These people are almost as crazy as the murderer," he told the newspaper, referring to the church's intentions.

The daughter of the founder of the Westboro Baptist Church, based in Topeka, Ka., told CTV.ca she and several other church members will go to Winnipeg on Saturday to demonstrate against what she described as McLean's "filthy way of life." Shirley Phelps-Roper said his life was emblematic of Canada's moral decay.

"God handed us a gift," Phelps-Roper said in a phone interview on Thursday.

She said McLean deserved his death by beheading on a Greyhound Bus last week.

"(His death was) supremely unemotional. You got God shaking in rage. There is no emotional component ... He was a rebel against God. He was taught to be a rebel by his parents. He came from a rebel country ... They brought this wrath upon his head. And it sucks to be him and it sucks to be them," Phelps-Roper said.

She said his brutal murder was a sign from God.

"You gotta connect the dots, people ... from your idols to your filthy way of life," she said.

"Here's what I know. He is dead and God does not do that to people that serve in his truth."

Phelps-Roper described McLean -- who she had never met -- in an insulting, insensitive and graphic manner. Her crudest descriptions of the 22-year-old are not printed.

"I haven't met him personally, but he has nothing going on," she said dismissively.

"(His life) was all about him. Blah, blah, blah ... He was a rebel ... I don't need to know anything else ... I don't need to know the minutia. Everything you need to know is right there."

The Westboro Baptist church has gained notoriety in recent years for setting up protest pickets at the funerals of U.S. soldiers who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Church members claim the deaths are part of God's wrath against Americans for turning their back on his teachings. They have repeatedly called the U.S. a "fag" nation, a phrase Phelps-Roper used repeatedly to describe Canada.

Phelps-Roper said she does not mind that her family is reviled by the majority of Americans. She claimed she rejoices when people say they despise and hate her family.

"I say, 'cha ching.' That goes in our bank. God gives us tokens of his love," she said.

Phelps-Roper said members of the Westboro Baptist Church, which numbers about "70 souls," is comprised mainly of a single extended family.

The group was supposed to protest a play held in a downtown Toronto bar that mocked their church's reviled views. "The Pastor Phelps Project" played at The Cameron House Thursday without incident, according to reports.

McLean was killed on July 30 after being stabbed repeatedly on a Greyhound bus by a complete stranger. He was then beheaded.

Vince Li, 40, has been charged with second-degree murder. A psychiatric evaluation has been ordered for Li.

I know of this family all too well. I won't send them the energy they want by hating them; I pity them. Their souls are so completely devoid of love and compassion that it breaks my heart. I don't know one single Christian who espouses their beliefs.

This is such bullshit. God doesn't kill people, we kill ourselves! I have one thing to say to that family - Judge not lest ye be judged... take a look at your own life - if you find it without sin then pick up your rock and throw it.

Little old church ladies who leave you a pithy psalm card in lieu of a real cash money tip make Jesus weep, as they are doing it in his name. To (liberally) quote the dude at waiterrant.com, unless you're Paul and can cure my aching back and feet, show me the money!

Jesus also weeps when people tip on the post-coupon amount of the meal.

Otts, reading that article.....I go from shock, to pity, to a slight case of confusion & then (I blame the writer/people observer in me) all I want to do is put them in a BIG perspex box & watch them........ :roll: :roll:

One thing that *definitely* makes Jesus cry... people ignoring each other's *existence* in stores - whether Costco or the supermarket... to the point where the person with the cart almost runs into you and glares at you as if to say "How DARE you be here in front of me?"

YES YES YES!

I complain about that all the time........how can we expect our children to have manners when we are all so damned rude to one another? It's so sad to me that people can't even say "excuse me" when you almost collide with one another. I had ONE person out of about 12 say "excuse me" last trip to the grocery store. I say it anyway, usually to be met with confusion or derision. SAD! :cry:
