Mine:
Anybody esposing a “big idea” is full of shit. (yes - I’m one of those people who’d be happy to see the last politician hanged with the guts of the last preacher)
Whenever any good cause is put forward, somebody, somewhere is working an angle.
Don’t buy anything advertised on TV
I live by this credo when it comes to beer, but it would make it rather hard to go car shopping. 
Every BMW driver is an assholish man or a conceited Little Miss Thang woman.
Last one for me: people who tailgate are just human trash, they are insecure, hateful creeps who probably beat their children.
Cool! I’ll believe it when I see (smell) it, though. The absolute worst are the people who park their diesels in front of my store in cold weather and leave the engine running while they go in the bar across the street and have a drink. My whole store reeks of diesel fumes, and I can’t carry on a conversation with a customer because of the rumbling of the engines. That really frosts me.
(a) Most restaurants aren’t thrilled about a group of people occupying a table (or standing in the aisles) without buying food.
(b) I didn’t mention kids. I don’t like people being obnoxious and foul-mouthed around me, either. Unwinding in bars is great. Personally, I wouldn’t include being a prick under “adult priveleges.”
What if I car pool with my mom?
I’m sorry, but people who make statements like these are immediately discounted as bigots in my eyes, and their opinions mean nothing to me.
Today, I was out merrily garage saleing and some lady was on the same near course as myself in one subdivision…in her hummer. This just flabbergasted me. What would be the point of garage sale-ing in such a gas sucking behemoth?
Twickster’s Law: Anyone who drives a Hummer is an asshole.
Again, IANABP, but aren’t most bars big and/or loud enough that you don’t have to be close enough to the foul-mouthed folk to hear them? And aren’t there also bars which cater more to the quiet unwinders than to the folks who like to unwind by saying naughty words?
I don’t know the answers to those two questions, but you might.
There are bars of both types and the vast majority lie somewhere inbetween.
I find most of your quieter bars are going to be male, workingclass, and hard, and that the quiet is there not for any civilized reason, but to discourage patrons from lifting the proprietor up by his shirt collar and telling him to TURN THAT SHIT DOWN.
I don’t hate cats, but I don’t want them anywhere near me or my family due to their being carriers for toxoplasmosis. No brain parasites for me, thank you. Fortunately I live in a rural area where I can shoot them if they won’t allow themselves to be driven off.

I apologize for the double post, the first couple of times I tried to post it acted like it didn’t go through, then the third it said it was a duplicate of a post made in the last 5 minutes.
interface2x summed it up well. My prejudice/rant is against people who walk into one of the quieter bars (the kind I go into), and become loud and obnoxious.
Unshakeable predjudice #2: People who use phrases like this to describe any attempt by women to assert themselves and their right to be treated as mentally, socially, sexually equal to men are arrogant sexist little pricks who can’t force their mind around the fact that they are equal and neither is superior.
‘Oh, she doesn’t like sexist behavior. She must hate men.’
Yeah, that’s exactly how it works. :rolleyes:
Well, I can’t argue against that prejudice/rant.
Normally I’d agree with you- but really, there’s a world of difference between regarding women as equals (which I fully support), and being called a “Male Oppressor” for daring to disagree with anything the Lesbian Sisterhood have to say, regardless of whether it’s the fairness of having equity scholarships that aren’t available to men at all (NONE of them- if you’re a white male at my university, you have practically zero chance of getting an equity scholarship or any kind of financial support, regardless of how poor/disadvantaged you are), the exam timetable, or the choice of beer in the University Bar.
They’re also proponents of the “If women ran things, there’d be no more war or fighting” theory (which is generally regarded as complete bollocks), and any straight guy who shows any support for their movement is disregarded as having seen too many porno films.
So, with regards to the Lesbian movement at University, I stand by my earlier comments that they are angry, man-hating Feminazis.
That’s not a blanket statement for all lesbians everywhere, of course- but it certainly describes the ones at my university.
I could add another prejudice against “People who automatically assume women are always right”, but then I’d end up sounding like a bitter misogynist, and I don’t think I’m quite at that stage yet…
I also have a personal prejudice against people who use the word “Feminazi”, as well as “slut”, “whore”, and all the other words that go along with those. IME, everyone who uses the words “slut” and/or “whore” is sexually frustrated, insecure, or both. MMV, and I’m sure it does, but it’s almost always either (a) women who are jealous of the attention the “slut” gets (“She dresses like a slut!” or “Well, yeah, she got raped twice, but she was asking for it, wearing clothes like that! What a slut!”, both of which I’ve heard from such sexually frustrated women in the last month); (b) men under 25–who constantly brag about how many women they’ve supposedly bedded–who get bitter when they can’t get a particular girl to have sex with them even after a drink they’ve nicknamed The Magical Pink Panty Dropper, and start calling same girl a “slut” for having sex with other men and not them; or (c) men under 25–who constantly brag about how many women they’ve supposedly bedded–calling women sluts/whores because that woman has had sex with five guys in her life or something. “Five? Don’t touch me, you dirty whore!” Last year I heard some poor jackass brag about telling a girl that.
I feel sorry for these people (people who call other people “slut”/“whore”) more than anything, though. I can’t work up the anger–except in the case of the women who say another woman deserved being raped because of what she wore; they should know better, but first off they should be shot–the girl didn’t wear anything at all showy, at least relative to the norm here in 21st-century Southern California; plus I was good friends with the girl in question and I know for a fact that after her third rape she tried to make herself ugly by messing up her hair and wrinkling/spilling things on her clothes so she wouldn’t get raped again–anyway I can’t work up the anger for these “men” because they’re just too funny. (I can’t really work up a lot of anger about “feminazi”, either. Speaks of insecurity, but frankly seems more like a misguided political position to me. Still a little sad, but not that bad.
The anger, though–the anger is for men over 20 who sleep with girls under 16, or men over 25 who sleep with girls under 18, regardless of local law. Some particular specimens out of this group, I could beat the shit out of if I knew I could get away with it.
Don’t even get me started on violent people. 
No arguments here!
