Room 101 Game
Imagine you have the power to banish all the things you don't like by confining them in a room out of time and space. This is room 101.
What do you think it is so annoying that should be banished? You can post your suggestions about anything, from habits to people, from songs to movies or games, in this thread. You can give reasons or not for your choices. Other people can save the things you are suggesting by finding one or more good points in them. I want to start with people who open packages in supermarkets, without actually buying them. |

Ok... this is what I would like to send to room 101: All of these extremely annoying remakes of horror classics that were done perfectly well the first time by new and upcoming directors just hoping to cash in on the younger audiences who may not have seen the originals by "modernizing" them. AHHH! The acting is usually just plain incompetent compared to the original and all of the atmosphere and original unique feeling is completely lost in translation! There are a few noteworthy exceptions, but in general, the original is usually the way to go. The only time I can justify this is if the original was not a classic and was done poory, therefore it may actually warrent a director taking on an actual challenge of expanind on the original idea! Sorry to fill up room 101 with so many piles upon piles of crappy movie reels, but I am assuming this place is pretty large List of things in Room 101 so far: 1. annoying people opening up packages at the supermarket without buying! 2. annoying remakes of horror movies that were done perfectly well the first time around and are already classics that shouldnt be touched! _RED_ stuff

1. Rap music that talks about killing, how well some guy is going to please some girl, or how much money they have. Killing doesn't make you cool, it makes you a criminal, and I will have no problem convicting you to prison. Plus, good for you if you can talk about how good you are in bed, but nobody else cares. As for the money, knowing the lifestyles of many celebs, you won't have it for much longer.
2. Parents yelling at their kids in stores. Come on, you know that if anyone walks by, they are going to stare at you as you are yelling at your crying child. Who is the bad person now? 3. Strong feminist attitudes. Hey, I am all for equality between genders. My boss and my fiancé are both women. I follow THEIR commands, so don't jump on me yet. The reason I say this is because I am sick of some of these women that judge all men as if we are just trying to keep women in the kitchen and in the beds. Not all of us men are like that. In fact, a great majority of us aren't. If you see a guy that is horrible to women, then go ahead and kick him in the butt, and give him one from me too. Don't, however, blame every guy you see because of one bad male that you met in your life. 4. Racism as a white. Another thing that bothers me. All I have been hearing the past two years from a lot of white people is that racism is behind us and that it isn't a problem anymore. OF COURSE YOU THINK THAT, YOU'RE WHITE! I am white and as I white I have no right to say anything about racism. The only thing I can do as a white person is not be racist and hope other people follow my example. 5. Plastic on CDs, DVDs, and Games. I am sick and tired of peeling off that fancy plastic layer that prevents me from enjoying my new game or music.

I agree with what you are sayin much of the time. There's a lot shitty rap music with no lyrical skill out there that tries to sound appealing by adding the subject material you speak of. Now here's where I disagree with you. There are also a lot of emcees with incredible lyrical skill that rap about these things and are able to make it sound fresh and poetic. Some cats like Wu-Tang decorate their lyrics with violence and a little flexing of their egos, but it's connected to a deeper message and/or story about strength. I can see why that would be hard to understand for somebody who doesnt listen to much hip hop, though. Quote:

Phone interviewers.
People who practice vivisection on animals. Kids pretending to talk and act like adults. People who don't respect queues. The Margarita cocktail. Ignorants and arrogants - who often are the same persons. That's just a few choices. I have more to send to the 101 room Quote:

Well, like many others here I'm sure, I have an army of stuff to send to Room 101. Let's see: 1. My dad. (And before anyone starts arguing with me about this, trying to "save him" from Room 101, assuming my hatred for him is some form of stupid petty angst, it's not. His childish, pathetic, cowardly, and evil torment upon me and the rest of the family is very real, has been real, and I have perfect reason to feel this way.) 2. That little pathetic lazy bitch and her whore-ish, conspiring, pathetic mom who moved to this town last summer inflicting such suffering upon myself, my sister, and my mom. 3. Ignorant, arrogant, prententious fools. (Panuru, you said it all too well). I cannot stand those who believe they are so educated and worldly yet don't know jack-sh*t about anything. 4. Certain vegans. Okay, not all vegans are bad nor do they act like this, but it drives me friggin' insane when I have to see/encounter those really annoying vegans who try conform others to eating veggies and all-organic soy products, like them! They always act like they are so "accepting" and so "harmonious" yet if they happen to go out with friends or boy/girlfriend who's a meat-eater, it's like, ".....You're really going to eat that? You're really going to eat that chicken dish? Really? Really? REALLY?!" Shut the hell up dipstick, yeah, he's gonna eat that stupid chicken dish, let the man be! ARGH! 5. The stupid game of "coyness" and "acting dumb" that Asian women/girls, particularly, just looooove to play. I don't feel the need to explain because no one gets it anyway ("They're cute!" they'll say ). That's all I have for now because I'm getting too worked up, lol.

I don't know. I'd consider myself a feminist, though perhaps not a radical one. Some key facts here: 1 in 3 men think that rape victims are deserving of it due to their behaviour, 75% of rapists at trial do not receive jail sentance and there is a still a huge pay divide between genders. I don't think it's correct to criticise radical feminists for getting angry when the patriarchal system is still in full swing. I'm a man and gosh, sometimes I really fucking hate the attitudes of males. But that's besides the point. I think rather than criticising feminism, you should perhaps broaden the point because you know, I don't much like men shouting at me about how I should live my life and that happens a lot; cf various religions etc. Then again, I do get cross when I've clashed with radical feminists who believe that because of my gender I can't grasp the key contexts. But really, feminism (for me) is about equality and not the displacement of one gender above the other, be it females above males or whatever.
Anyway, my choices: Mysogyny / Racism / Homophobia / Rape / Murder Foolish Kids Bullying Customers that get cross for no reason Jellyfish! Eek!

The reason I said what I said is because I actually do believe that white people do have a right to speak out about racism towards them because if we are all truly equal, then we all get to voice our opinions. Racism against white people, just like any other ethnicity, is a very real thing and I have seen it all over the place. I am of mixed race. Being both white and hispanic I have experienced bigotry towards both. Often, when I am with white people they will say very bigoted things about hispanics and assume I wont care (often times because they assume I am not hispanic because my skin is so light.) At the same time, when I am with hispanics, blacks, and people of other ethnicities I will hear a lot of bigoted remarks about whites. The interesting thing about this instance is they know I am white, but they assume I will say nothing about it because it wouldnt be so acceptable to defend whites in our society. This demonization of white people in our society has to stop. If people keeping using the white man in general as a scapegoat for all of their biggest problems they won't be able to solve their own. Assigning blame does not solve problems like this. Hard work and serious self-reflection does. The bottom line is there is no such thing as the term "reverse racism" because racism is a two way street. Racism applies to everyone in all directions. EVERYBODY needs to work on their racist tendencies. That is the only way to work on truly living together. So what I am going to say is that ALL forms of racism can go to room 101 and never come back. Being of mixed race and being proud of who I am I would be a hypocrite to not try and understand ALL sides of this type of thing. That is the only way I can be true to myself as a whole. We are all somebody composed of many backgrounds to create a whole one person. We are all those things coming together to create something that is back at the source of creation. It's a beautiful thing. Quote:
I do not know what it is like to actually be wholly ashamed by the behavior of either of my parents. I am one of those lucky few that has two very honest and very supportive parents of who I want to be as a person. I used to feel very guilty about the fact I am so fortunate in this manner, until I realized how counterproductive that was. Nowadays, I just appreciate it as much as I can and plan on giving back to them all that they have given to me over the years. That is why a connection with one's children is so important. If you are supportive of them as individuals and who they want to be, then they will give back to you in surpising ways. So after saying that, I would like to send incompetent parents out there... the ones that do not understand the importance of truly loving their children and having an honest connection with them... I'd like to send those one to Room 101. Meryl, I imagine when you have kids someday, you will make a good parent because you will know exactly what not to do. You seem the type of person to learn from experience and I doubt you would repeat the same mistakes. You are one of the more mature people your age that I know. Keep it up.. lol Quote:
I hate it when people snore! My ex-gf used to snore and I would not allow her to put me through that when I really needed sleep so I would nudge just that little bit until she woke up just enough to take a nice breathe before going back into a deep sleep. Of course, she would then be snoring again sooner or later She wasn't too bad, though. I had actually heard much worse! YIKES! It's funny, though. It must be hard to look at a girl as the sleeping beauty type as much if they are laying their completely sawing wood _RED_ stuff

I suggest also: Bad hair days. Teen idols. My father's sister - calling that witch aunt is too much. Reality shows. DVD players that don't work. Spammers. People who stick chewing gums everywhere. Joseph Ratzinger aka Pope Benedict XVI - with all the serious matters there are, he wastes time condemning Harry Potter and cohabitation. |

Oh, I just remembered something else...
- Sex and the City series. I want to send this filth of a show and anyone, anyone involved in it to the Room. Thanks to the brat mentioned in my first post, my sister and I had to suffer watching this utter trash for SO many days while she was visiting, oh excuse me, invading our home. I swear that I lost a part of my soul watching this shit that, apparently to that bimbo brat and millions of other bimbos in the world, is the perfect example of "feminists" in the world. HA! Those airheads in the show parade around portraying exactly all the things Panuru mentioned in her post about misused feminism: dressing provocatively, are in their thirties and still acting like schoolgirlish whores, swearing by designer brands, believing they are above men, yet still needs a man to love and take care of them, all the while trying to reflect upon such "deep thoughts" and "lessons learned in life" like "I wonder if those Jimmy Choo shoes are on sale yet?" Yeah, that's what's feminism is ALL about. And what bugged the shit out of me and made me laugh at the same time is that aforementioned brat turning to both my sister and I after the third season and saying so seriously, I quote: "These woman are soo smart, aren't they? They really know, I mean, you know, they like totally define, um...what girl power and the, uh, feminism pride and movement is all about, you know?" Yeah, so this filth of a show to the very back of the room, please.
