You might feel differently if your civil rights were being violated and friends and families homes and lives were being ripped apart.
Now with that, the most annoying for me are all those dang marathons, races, runs, flutag, etc. It's great to exercise, don't get me wrong. But why do people have to inconvenience everybody and force them to know they are doing it?
We have a marathon that makes a mess of the city every year. Ok, it's famous. I can handle one. Then some bike people decided to do one too at a different time. No warning to the people that are being cut off from their jobs, family, hospitals, etc.
I'd much that be inconvenienced for an important cause, than someone needing attention for their vanity exercises.
