Anything about how crooked policians are. Please don't. It's so incredibly played out.

George Carlin had a great thing about this, too. Why are people always so smugly ripping on all politicians as if they are some weird alien species from space sent here to mess up our government? They're not. They're us.

He said something about how this is the best we can do. Politicians are just the people we've chosen to elect, and they come from our homes, our towns, our schools, our churches, our universities. If politicians suck, that's because we suck. This is the best we can do. Garbage in, garbage out.

While I agree most everything in this thread is lame, some of you guys are way too easily annoyed (for further evidence, see the bumper sticker thread). When people say things like liking all music but country I just laugh at how retarded they are.

Back on topic, here's an urban legend I still hear sometimes:

"Menthol (or clove) cigarettes crystallize in your lungs"

On a related note: when a character in a sitcom gets all freaked out when he finds out that his medical tests have come back "negative". I distinctly remember this on Seinfeld, and last year on The Office. I found it sad that such otherwise great shows would be so lazy as to use this tired joke.

Random strangers telling me that smoking is harmful to my health.

Really? It's harmful? Hey, now that you mentioned it, it says it's pretty harmful right on the box. Hey, what makes you think that if I'm not listening to the Surgeon General of the U.S., I'm gonna listen to you?

This response is pretty stale, IMO.

Black comedians who are always talking black/white "Cause if you a brotha, you know........"

When someone spills a beer, the turd who says "whoa, alcohol abuse..."

People spouting off facts about Marijuana/ arguing for legalization. Get a new cause, goofball.

Windows sucks. Linux is cool.

Asians are good at math.

Infinite Jest is a good book.

"Chinese food in China tastes nothing like it does in the U.S. it's very Americanized here."
