People that care too much about brands. Only real brands is worth it. I guess since you do have the money, why don't you buy some for me too?

And brands don't care about you. They only care about your money. I rather shop cheap than to use thousands of dollars for something that can be bought somewhere else. I hate when people just have to say people who buy knock-off are "losers" or "Fakers". At least I'm NOT in debt!

I guess I have two pet peeve in one day. Just because you turn 18 doesn't mean you're an adult. You may be an adult by law but you sure don't act like one. I just find it so annoying when teenagers think they can do whatever they want because they're 18. One of the most foolish thinking out there.

What peeves me the most is these people who drive these loud, thumping boom cars in the neighborhood, blaring their music and lyrics from open car windows, for children to hear, merely walking down the street.

I live a half-block from a grade school, and astoundingly, I've seen fathers pick up their kids at school, and wheel down the street, with lots of kids present, blaring this music for all to hear.

Even though these kids' parents may not swear, use profanity, they can learn it just from a passing car today, walking on the sidewalk.

You're not much older than them.

They're going to learn swears sooner or later. I don't know why parents are so paranoid over their kids learning swears.

I don't know why adults want to force children to grow up faster with the excuse that "they will be expose to (whatever) sooner or later so it might as well be sooner" Can't we just allow children to enjoy the innocence of youth without boorish adults trying to spoil it for them?

What city_data said. And knowing how to swear doesn't automatically taint your innocence. I think the whole concept of children being innocent and the attempting to preserve that innocence is a load of crap. Children know more about sex, lying, swearing, and all the other "adult sins" than most adults allow themselves to believe, and they don't die knowing about those things. The greatest irony of all is that children often learn lying from adults who try to feed them some story instead of telling them the truth in order to preserve their "innocence."

I think the point is as much about poor values as language.

When you're feeling calm and getting ready to go to bed and a long email from your abusive ex lands in your inbox and now you can't even think of going to sleep cause 9,000 emotions are running through your head at once.
