i hate fanatics
Winston Churchill said, “A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.”
Wikipedia says, “A fanatic is a person filled with excessive, uncritical zeal, particularly for an extreme religious or political cause, or with an obsessive enthusiasm for a pastime or hobby.
Historian Richard Pipes, when categorizing Lenin and the Bolsheviks as fanatics rather than Utopians, refers to the definition by philosopher George Santayana: “Fanaticism consists in redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.” (Life of Reason, 1905, vol. 1, Introduction).”
Suanie says, “It’s a Monday and I hate fanatics.”
Fans are okay. They profess ardent admiration and occasionally say or do stupid things, but that’s all right. We are just human, we are allowed to be stupid once in a while. Fanatics on the other hand, obstinately turn a deaf ear to everything else, blindly believing or following whatever they are fanatic about like herded sheep. Contrary to their beliefs, that is really not sticking to their principles or guns; that is stupid with a capital S.
And most of the time they are irritating as heck.
Fanatics personify the question,”Who the fuck do you think you are?”
These are a few fanatics I hate in no order of preference:
Islam fanatics, Buddhist fanatics, Christian fanatics, atheist fanatics, Scientology fanatics, Pastafarian fanatics, Jew fanatics, Israeli fanatics, Palestinian fanatics, Bush fanatics, anti-Bush fanatics, UMNO fanatics, UMNO Youth fanatics, PAS fanatics, KeADILan fanatics, pro-gay fanatics, anti-gay fanatics, Microsoft fanatics, Mac fanatics, Oprah fanatics, Tom Cruise fanatics, Brad Pitt fanatics, Angelina Jolie fanatics, Paris Hilton fanatics, Michael Jackson fanatics, Jeff Ooi fanatics, Xiaxue fanatics, Kenny Sia fanatics, Maddox fanatics, BryanBoy fanatics, WaiterRant fanatics, Pinkisthenewblog fanatics, Minishorts fanatics, ShaolinTiger fanatics, MenJ fanatics, Dawn Yang fanatics, Cowboy Caleb fanatics, Doctor Liew fanatics, Mr Brown fanatics, Michael Ooi fanatics, PaulTan fanatics, FireAngel fanatics, blogging fanatics, anti-blogging fanatics, Web 1.0 and 2.0 fanatics, football fanatics, car fanatics, basketball fanatics, Harry Potter fanatics, LOTR fanatics, Narnia fanatics, DOTA fanatics, Counterstrike fanatics, Pokemon fanatics, gadget fanatics, cooking fanatics, food fanatics, shopping fanatics etc etc etc
If you are a fanatic, I’d probably hate you too.

Hah! You have gradually understood what I’ve been trying to convey eh? Good on ya!
I take it from Winstons definition he believed all fanatics are men!
Fan is short for Fanatic … so as long as we contract the word we are okay.
But, like I point out to all ‘Fanatic Haters’ they seem to be fanatical about hating fanatics.
A guy I worked with once said all fanatics should be shot, so I told him to start with himself.
But, it is a Monday, “and tomorrow is another subject day” (to really mess up Scarlet O’Hara’s closing comments.)
Signed, a Moderation Fanatic.

An excerpt from XIAXUE’s blog
(start of horrible blogging)
That day, the whole group of us when to Mambo together. Actually, Birdy and I wanted to bring Junne (she added an N to her name in the hope of sounding a little more unique) to Mambo to reexperience Singapore, but Kelvin and the boys were going too, so we all went together.
Speaking of which, I got bounced out of members A-Fucking-Gain, for the 2nd time. I cannot take it!!!!!!
Bloody elitist BASTARDS (I’m elitist too, which is precisely why nobody should be elitist against me)!
I mean, obviously they cannot bounce me coz I’m a member, but they just refused to let Shuyin and Junne both go in, coz *roll eyes* one member can only bring one person in.
I don’t see what’s the muthafucking problem. Is Shuyin chio? Yes. Is Junne pretty? Yes. So? Isn’t the whole POINT of members to have supposedly cool people inside, mingling with each other and making everyone’s life more meaningful?
The whole theory about making a part of a club elitist is simple:
Allow in hot chicks. Hot chick get guys, and more guys want to come in. Among big group of men, pick out rich ones. Rich ones buy expensive alcohol = club earns big money. Club uses money to improve on DJs = more famous. More famous = more hot chicks. More hot chicks = more men come. Men= spend money. And so on and so forth.
Simple? I thought so too.
Who chooses the bloody bouncer ANYWAY? Eileen (Wee) and I were talking about this bouncing thing the other day, and we both came to the conclusion that most bouncers in Singapore have no idea the who’s whos are.
(end of the horrible blogging)
NOTE: bottomline, I f*cking LOATHE xiaxue. She thinks she’s a WHO’S WHO. My god, please somebody shut her up. Get her busy with the next SEXPO or buy her a blow-up boyfriend doll, PLEASE. This is calling upon those who hate her to start to do something. She’s just crap that’s just a waste of Internet space. I guess I’m a HATE-XIAXUE fanatic, does that count?
lol it’s not a Monday and I don’t exactly love her
