When you think about it, lengthwise it’s in-between EP and LP, but I prefer to follow one of these 3 guidelines.

Wikipedia says
In the United States, the Recording Industry Association of America defines an EP as containing three to five songs or under 30 minutes.

On the other hand, The Grammys state that any release with five or more different songs and a running time of over 15 minutes is considered an album, with no mention of EPs.

In the United Kingdom, any record with more than four distinct tracks or with a playing time of more than 25 minutes is classified as an album.

I don’t know what one is better but all 3 of them label Jar Of Flies as an album, not an EP, which is why I don’t consider it an EP.

So my pet peeve is news polls that are pointless. Now most polls are fine, but I’m talking about ones that are just utterly pointless.
Let me explain.

So back when Trump put that temporary ban on certain Muslim countries from entering the US, I saw this poll on the news. Now it doesn’t matter what your political views are, I think we can all agree that this poll is just plain stupid.

So the poll was…

[sp_show_poll id=”174″]

Okay, now just look at that question, and think about what it’s asking. It’s asking what people think his intentions are. What is that supposed to prove? It doesn’t matter if everyone thinks his intentions are to summon the aliens to take over the world, his intentions are what his intentions are.

That’s like having a poll asking whether you think the sky is blue or red. It doesn’t matter who thinks it’s red, it’s still blue.

I’ll admit that’s a pretty stupid poll, especially considering that preventing a certain religious group from entering the country does not protect the country, it’d be like me banning African Americans from living in the US because a black guy jumped me. However, I do believe polls similar to that one can be acceptable in certain situations, such as if I asked people whether they thought it was John or George who played the solo to Hey Bulldog or if I asked whether they believe that dinosaurs really existed or that they are fictional and those so called bones and fossils come from elsewhere.

So Polynesians are allowed in the country then?

Or other non-african Americans with darker skin?

What about pale skinned Africans living in America?

I think everyone has the right to be in this country and that we can’t blacklist certain groups of people from living here.

New pet peeve:

Shows aimed at little kids like Sesame Street and Mister Rogers Neighborhood, I think these shows are stupid and pointless and if I had children, I would make sure they never see shows like this. Why can’t kids watch the same kind of stuff they watched back in the 1940’s, I’d much rather have a 2 year old watching Looney Tunes and Tom And Jerry than some red puppet who makes you want to throw the TV out the window or some sober sweater wearing pacifist who makes Bob Ross sound like someone who you’d listen to at a college dorm party.

Hasn’t Tom and Jerry been banned from all children as otherwise 3 year olds will be encouraging mice to attack cats with fireworks?

Not if we make sure that they are aware that cartoons aren’t real. Also, what would you rather have your child watch:

Exhibit A:

A purple anthropomorphic dinosaur who kidnaps little children and forces them to pretend to be happy on TV.

Exhibit B:

A stereotypical family in human form, including everybody’s favorite misbehaved baby, Baby Sinclair.

I’m surprised exhibit A didn’t give anybody nightmares.

It is not directly stated or seen, but is heavily implied, I mean how else did he get those children, not even the most stupidest and neglectful parent would give their children to some big purple dinosaur and if I were 2 years old and saw a big talking purple dinosaur, I think I’d make a run for it, find a rifle, and shoot the bastard until he’s dead. Also, it’s not like there’s new kids every episode, the children often stay the same. I think you should read this.

This may sound a little off to some people but I really hate it when people make pirates sound like bad people, I think that there are good and bad pirates and that pirates can be nice loving and caring people who have a good reason to arm themselves with swords and canons and find buried treasure, you could call Indiana Jones or just about any other archeologist a pirate because they’re all after the same thing, a treasure chest, whether it be dinosaur bones or gold coins.

Pirates rape and pillage.

But at least they don’t write walls of text so there’s that.

But what about people like Jack Sparrow, there can be good pirates, it’s just that modern pirates make all pirates seem bad.

Jack Sparrow is an alcoholic and most importantly wasn’t real a-hard-days-night-george-10.

It is the olden day pirate that we’re talking about who rage and pillage, not all of them did of course but it only takes one dead rat for a restaurant to be given a bad name (I have invented that and for anyone who wants to use that in the future you’ll have to pay me royalties).

If we’re going to talk about those pirates, as in the pirates who let people get stuff for free, I like those people, I mean who else is going to let you download full price music, movies, video games, TV shows, books, and software without charging you a penny, although I don’t bother with it that often because although that stuff is great, pirates often have to hide from the police and also, sometimes they put viruses or other malware in there, so be careful and if you want to be the most safe, just buy the item or watch videos on YouTube about it.

@Dark Overlord @Starr Shine? I think you completely missed my point. My peeve had nothing to do with the Muslim ban, it had to do with the question and how it doesn’t really prove anything.
