there can be 2 sides to an issues

There are vegetarians/vegans that are very self righteous when it comes to people eating meat. I am not saying all nor most either.

Just as meat eaters give vegetarians/vegans a hard time, vegetarians/vegans give meat eaters a hard time.

in regards to what I hate

I don't want to use words like hate any more. I feel that it gives too much passion and energy to what I have a problem with.

I will say what disturbs me or concerns or what is a petpeeve

it's mainly intolerance of diversity in general when it comes to anything

I don't like when people are called "stupid", "ignorant", "inferior" "childish" or other things and being treated like they can't think and be attacked because a person states views that he doesn't agree with.

A lot of times, I try to refrain from saying things like "I know" because I don't want people to think that I am arrogant,condescending,or a "know-it-all" Therefore, I mostly use words like "I believe" or "I feel" or "I have an opinion of or a view" or "I think"

I just feel that there are serious Eris issues on our planet.

It’s Eris’ Co-Discoverer, Michael Brown that seemed to give the clue to Eris’ meaning

“She causes strife by causing arguments among men, by making them think their opinions are right and everyone else’s is wrong, ” Brown said. “It really is just perfect.” )

That seems to fit with controversy,stirring stuff up, defying the status quo,ideology,diversity,divergence,considerate/inconsiderate of viewpoints/opinions/beliefs/values,bigotry,terrorism, redefining boundaries, equal/civil rights,advocacy,standing up for self/others.

I hate when people are passive-aggressive about my vegetarianism. There have been numerous situations and examples where my vegetarianism/veganism has been victim to passive-aggressive behavior. There have been so many times where I have ordered something without the meat part of a dish and have found a piece of chicken hidden under something (i.e. lettuce, bread) on my plate or where I order something 'without cheese' and still get one of my food items drenched in cheese. I especially can't stand when my food is intentionally undercooked or screwed up because I ordered my food in a way that requires the cook to not put the damn cheese and meat on my plate!

you can apply that to the gay marriage issue here in USA

conservatives should mind their own business.
gay marriage has nothing to do with them

why should they be concerned. they are not living with gays. They are not forced to be at gay weddings. they certainly aren't eating with them

so why should they give a damn

there was time of that there were issues with interracial marriages.

I see gay marriage issue as no different from interracial marriage issue back in the 1960's

but self righteous hypocrisy runs rampant,and it's often based on religion.

religion has always been used by certain people to promote bigotry and inequality.
