Do You Think Me Being Annoyed Is Justified

Am I justified for being annoyed by my political party when they use scare tactics and fearmongering to get me to sign petitions and or make contributions?

Scare tactics and fear-mongering are acts of emotional rape. I think annoyance is too weak of a response. You should at the very least be considering leaving your party. Any party that can rationalize such behaviour is not going to be one that genuinely cares about the will of the people it was created to serve. Instead it will sew that old delusion that one’s idealistic ends justifies the means onto their own selfish interests and then trample any who get in their way.You should want no part of such people (regardless of the political views you may have in common with them. I agree with some of Adolph Hitlers political stances, such as putting workers back to work, but that would not make me want to support him in ay way. He was an enemy of the people and should have been treated that way. Tose who choose to use scare tactics are the enemy of those they would emotionally rape, and should be treated that way. Send a message with your choice of who you support; I will not tolerate, and certainly not support those who think it is a good thing to stoop to emotional rape, regardless of the ideals involved. God has perfect ideals, and God does not force us to do what he wants. There is no justification for forcing or pressuring people to act against their own will. There never will be.If you have the means to contact those in charge of your party, send them a letter letting them know how staunchly against such behaviour you are, and what you are prepared to do should they fail to correct this behaviour decisively.

Is my annoyance with my 28 year old brother justified? He lives with my parents and lets his girlfriend live there too. He acts like he's 14.

You don't give many details!In Britain, many twenty-something adults are living with their parents even if they work, while they save for somewhere of their own, because housing here is so expensive now. Is there a possibility this may be what your brother is doing? If so, it's fair.This living arrangement is between your brother and your parents (and his girlfriend, possibly). It's not your responsibility and, unless you're living there too, it's not really any of your business, either. I feel that you're being rather judgemental, and providing too little information for anyone to fairly understand the situation. For all you have told us it may be the case that your brother is paying some rent and other money for laundry and other things usually done for teenage sons “living in”, and if he is, again, that's an arrangement between him and your parents. You can disapprove, but it really isn't anything much to do with you, is it?

Is it justifiable when I get annoyed when my friend falls asleep watching movies with me?

Here is the definition I got for justifiable: capable of being justified; that can be shown to be or can be defended as being just, right, or warranted; defensible.I personally don’t think it is justifiable that you get annoyed with your friend when she falls asleep while watching movies with you. However, I don’t know you or your friend. Perhaps you grew up in a home where your parents would start watching a movie with you then become preoccupied with something else. Perhaps you’ve shared this with your friend and you’ve told your friend how annoying that was to you and you’ve told your friend that her behavior is annoying as well. Then, I would think you were justified.What can you do about it? I know you didn’t ask. You say she always insists on watching movies. You say that while watching, she checks her phone regularly. I too have a bad habit of doing other things while watching TV; I will draw, journal, play on my phone, or play video games on my computer. I mostly just listen to the movie and when I hear something that I feel I need to watch as well, I will turn all of my attention to the TV. Maybe your friend enjoys listening to the movie but also enjoys engaging her mind in some other type of activity while just listening to the movies.I think you need to talk to your friend about this if you haven’t already. You can find out why she doesn’t focus more on the movie and maybe her response will bring you two closer as friends.Your question says that your friend falls asleep while watching the movie with you. Maybe your friend has experienced some sort of trauma in the past and cannot go to sleep unless she feels safe. Maybe watching a movie with you makes her feel safe and that is why she falls asleep.I do hope you and your friend can work this out. I don’t have friends at the moment. I have a very hard time making friends. If I had a friend who fell asleep while watching a movie with me, I would just be thankful that I had a friend. Then, maybe I would grab an icecube and slip it down his or her shirt while he or she was sleeping. Depending, though, on the friend and whether or not they would find that funny (do it) or offensive (probably wouldn’t do it).

Do you think people with postgraduate degrees are justified in publicly expressing anger because a stranger failed to acknowledge their educational accomplishments?

This wan’t a stranger, but a person who was being paid to serve in a specific capacity. In most cases, a flight attendant won’t even take the time to read a person’s name, and will respond with a generic greeting. This flight attendant went out of her way to read the name on the ticket.Online reservation systems typically ask for a person’s name as well as a title. They print out tickets with a name in this format:ODWYER SIOBHANDRThe flight attendant most likely read the last name quickly and never looked at the jumble of letters that followed. I doubt that the flight attendant would have done it for any other passenger, male or female, regardless of the person’s title.Especially with a name that would be largely unfamiliar in Australia, it wouldn’t be easy to pick off at a glance where the name ends and where the title begins. Not all titles are the same number of letters. Somebody looking at a ticket for about 1/4 second who responds “Miss O’Dwyer” instead of “ma’am” or some less specific term is already attempting to show a level of respect that few in her position would bother with.That being said, I disagree with the reasoning of many of her critics. The article had the following quote:“If you went to medical school you are Dr. O’Dwyer. If you have a PhD; you are Siobhan O’Dwyer PhD, & you have a ‘Doctorate Degree,’” wrote @rofoutz. “You are not however a Doctor as understood by society & you shouldn’t feel free to steal the title claimed centuries ago by the medical profession.”In reality, having a doctorate is the very meaning of being a doctor. People in the medical profession don’t earn a doctorate unless they do it independently of their medical degree. The medical community coopted the term and use it without going through the process and original research that’s associated with a doctorate.While she shouldn’t get bent out of shape for not being called “Doctor,” neither should a medical doctor. It’s absurd to say that she isn’t worthy of respect because the title isn’t worthy of respect.

Are fans of Star Wars justified in being angry about how the new trilogy treats beloved characters from the original trilogy?

Yes, people have a right to feel what they feel and think what they think.The new trilogy is not crap and sometimes fun to watch(Minus some parts) but the writing is sparce, lackluster and does not really provide anything new. The new characters are introduced and then die in the same movie after a pointless reason to be involved in the story to begin with.TFA is a copy of ANH and TLJ is a copy of ESB. Its nothing new, the same evil trying to conquer the galaxy with a band of rebels fighting back and a new hero emerging and discovering her powers(yet she seemed to tap into them a lot before she received any lick of training).We need new story lines that could garner new and fresh interest in the franchise. Like Knights of the Old Republic for example. Disney has not done very good since TLJ with the franchise. To them its all about a more diverse cast and injecting politics more so then the actual story line and franchise itself. And it shows.On top of that TLJ broke many reoccurring things in a Star Wars movie. The line “I have a bad feeling about this” and the lack of an actual Lightsaber duel. The last one actually annoyed me but I digress.
