Re: discrimination
I am irritated with the fact that there is such a large group of people around us who will blindly listen to anything someone tells them as long as it's coming from a certain source, but blatantly ignore any information that contradicts that source. Since this often results in letting corruption run rampant, I tend to become irritated with the blind followers themselves. I try not to be because I realize a lot of them are raised to believe certain things from birth, but I still lose patience with them. Does that count?
Oh, and I detest our administration, but I think that one goes without explanation.

Yep, and how unpatriotic of me to detest a group that is screwing this country's economy up so badly and getting so many of our kids killed in a war that group should never have started.

A big part of my irritation comes from the blind followers supporting someone because they seem like a Good Christian Man™ and continue to support them even when they have proven to everyone else how corrupt they are. It also comes from people spewing hatred who otherwise wouldn't do that, just because they believe someone's race or preference is an abomination in the eyes of their God.

Aww, come on and admit it, Queeny. Hasn't everyone broken that law? 
In Michigan, a woman isn't allowed to cut her own hair without her husband's permission.
I didn't realize I was breaking the law!  In my defense, I have asked him to trim any unevenness I may have left where it's hard to see and reach, but he just tells me it's fine.
In Calgary there is a by-law that is still on the books that requires businesses within the city to provide rails for tying up horses.

What to buy a $300,000 carrot? I'll give you a free house with it!
In Gary, Ind., persons are prohibited from attending a movie house or other theater and from riding a public streetcar within four hours of eating garlic.
Now they just smell up the whole city and all neighboring areas with their smoke stacks.
Loins may not be taken to the theater in Maryland.
You must have them surgically removed first.
I once heard that it is illegal here in Michigan to sneeze when a horse passes you on the street, in case it were to scare it off while it's carrying a passenger or pulling a wagon.
