Dislikes |
MOST TV news, as I find it sensationalistic, usually one-sided and self serving; game shows, gambling, drunks and druggies, MOST present-day politicians, racial and other prejudice, extremists of any persuasion Those who consistently - think they have the answers to everything, are dogmatic, make unkept promises, are overly nationalistic, are late, say one thing than do the opposite, are obnoxious and/or a pain in the ass! |
