seconded. Also, people asking me “how’s it going” when I can tell they really don’t care.

Also seconding the moral opposition to DMB

in no particular order, I morally object to:

1) bad sex

2) living in an apartment building in which the bad sex had by my neighbors cannot be drowned out by music from my my inferior MacBook speakers

3) [in that same vein,] upstairs neighbors who play hockey on their hardwood floors at 4am

4) people saying “I’m pro-life! pro-choice people piss me off” during conversation about abortion, and then in the same breath, “Oh but I do believe abortion should be accessible for women who need it, I mean, you never know about different circumstances.” Hey! That makes you pro-CHOICE!

5) birth control commercials! woo, I can control my PMS and spotting! but what about the babies I don’t want to have?!?

6) the question “What are you doing after you graduate?”
6.5) the question “What are you going to do with a history degree, teach?” I already know I can do nothing with a history B.A., stop rubbing it in.

7) people who take themselves too seriously

8) Jenny on the L Word!

9) people who have the tools to take initiative and stand up for themselves, but don’t.

I morally object to indoor heating in the winter that is SO HOT that I need to strip down to a tank top – especially if it’s YOUR STORE and I came in wearing my WINTER COAT. But I’m not fond of it in office buildings, either – if it’s winter out, heat the buildings so that I’m comfortable in my sweater in your office, ‘kay?

I morally object to air-conditioning in the summer that is SO COLD that I have to put on a coat IN MY OFFICE BUILDING – over the tank top I wore outside. The one that I wear INSIDE, in the winter. If it’s hot outside, it probably shouldn’t be so cold indoors that I can see my breath puff. (I will also cut more slack, honestly, for the AC. I come home to my 66-degree house and TURN ON THE AIR so that I can breathe. Lungs-R-Us thank you for your support. And it’s easier to put layers on than to delayer; once you peel your skin off, you start to stick to your seat. However, if I’m cold in your building in the summer, people can build igloos in your lobby. I’m just sayin’.)

I think I morally object to people morally objecting to my wearing clothes that make me comfortable. I don’t wear shorts very often because I have a skin condition that results in very large, very bright red splotches on my lower legs (well, all over, but they’re worst on my legs). When you can promise me that people will stop staring at me like I’ve got the plague, I’ll promise to wear shorts more often. Until then, I’m going to stick with pants, because I don’t actually like being stared at very much.

“Answering “How’s it going?” with “It’s going.” – THIS DOES NOT ANSWER THE QUESTION”

Expecting people to tell you how it’s actually going, when perhaps it’s none of your business.

People who ask how it’s going, and then sigh and flee when you do tell them how it’s really going.

Also: I morally object to having my high-waisted pants objected to. It’s the only kind of pants I can wear without serious discomfort. Coincidentally it’s also the only kind I can wear without looking like my pants are 12 sizes too small. Fancy that. I must be no one.

I morally object to the commercials portraying the green M&M as a sex object. It’s a fucking M&M and even it has to be have long eyelashes and wear heels.

Jill, I LOVE silly posts now and then!! Thank you!

Here are some things I morally object to and what I want the feds to cease funding for:

Coca-Cola. They misled us about the VitaminWater product. And besides, Pepsi tastes 10,000,000 times better than Coca-Cola.

Blackwater. Look at what they have done in Iraq.

Domino’s. Just mention the word Tom Monaghan and you’ll know why.

Fox News.

CNN.

The Recording Industry Association of America. They are proposing the performance tax that would muzzle local radio stations.

pants on men when the high temperature is 85 degrees or WARMER. men should be required to wear shorts when it is above 85 degrees outside.

The Real Housewives of New York City. GE has shown no signs of getting rid of Bensimon eight months after her arrest of domestic violence, so that is why I’ve put this one in.

Glenn Sacks and his ilk.

The TEA partiers.

Radio stations that shorten songs for time purposes.

People who drive even one mph OVER the speed limit.

Bob Jones University in Greenville.

I morally object to the increasing use of the word “lead” as the past-tense of “lead.”

It’s LED, people. Think about it.

Seriously, I morally object to French vodka. I love France, but no. NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I’m with you here, Natalia.
