Not very trivial, given the amount of human conflict that's taken place as a result.
Religion is generally accepted as being a belief and as such it doesn't go to war.
It is mankind that 'goes to war' and in most cases contrary to most religious doctrine however in many cases said mankind uses religion to justify their actions. Indeed religion has spread in the path of colonialism but at the feet of a very basic irreligious maxim (greed) an unfortunate human quality. So it's the misuse of religion that has lead to mankind going to war not religion (a belief mechanism).
Richard Dawkins thinks religion is a delusion, if he is correct as a growing number of people believe then it would mean that it is only us earthlings that 'go to war' and almost certainly us earthlings would continue to war even if there was no such thing as religion. :idea:0 -

Both of the above links make extensive use of pithy Anglo-Saxon English, so be warned.
Oh, and my own trivial annoyance? Being pedantic about language when I perfectly well know what the person means, and not being able to stop myself being annoyed. But still understanding exactly why I'm annoyed. That's annoying.0 -

Boll-ocks, you're right, that's annoying.0 -
Though (to be serious), I'm not entirely sure it's trivial, which is a bit annoying.John Kline wrote:briantrumpet wrote:Oh, and my own trivial annoyance?

Anybody in particular? Or is it just a racist observation.

Obviously fake soundtracks added to silent archival movie footage in historical documentaries - e.g. soldiers marching, guns being fired, air raid sirens, etc. in pretty much every WWII programme on the Yesterday channel.0

I do this to my girlfriend religiously, she falls for it every time, even if I do it twice in the same shopping trip. I don't do it if there is someone else close behind though, then I'd be a fcukwit.Trek 1.1c (2012) - For commuting

Or when the reporter faces camera with the Houses Of Parliament in the background, like this
across the river, then finishes their report by saying " this is Andrew Neil (or whoever), Westminster"
Er, no you're not. You're in Lambeth you div!

When you have been on a long ride, got cold and you get back home to have a shower to wash and warm up.
Then about 20 seconds later the hot water runs out.Mañana0 -
The phrase "Oh my days". Anyone using it deserves a punch in the face.0

People eating with a spoon that they're holding twixt thumb, forefinger & index finger with the bowl of it angled towards the chest. Yes I know it's probably easier but when I see it I want to attack the people doing it. Which was a bit awkward this morning as I had breakfast in a hotel, and it's surprisingly common.0

People on BR who think saying 'I blame wiggle' is in the slightest bit witty.
People who comment on some random detail in a posted photo to try and seem like they're observational and witty, when its obviously in most cases that they've gone about looking hard at a photo trying to find something to say something witty about. ...oh, and people who then see the posting and think it is witty.
People who put LOL when it suits their underlying agenda/issues with the topic at hand.
People who write LOL anyway.
People's faces.
The thick 'different' texture of yoghurt that sticks to the underside of a foil lid.
People with seemingly little individuality who don't have much passion for anything in life.
White lines on roads that have faded way beyond the point where they first needed re-painting.
Momentary power cuts that leave you wondering if its worth continuing working on a computer or whether another will happen any minute.
People who blip the throttle on a car before turning the ignition off.
The delay on a supermarket till before the receipt is printed, when the transaction is clearly completed and the operator is just sat waiting for it to print.
Wanting a glass of squash but only having enough squash in the bottle for a very weak glass of it.0 -
People who say swearing in films is unnecessary, when its often a reflection of how the characters in the film would talk in real life and nothing else... for example, an older person who wouldn't watch a great film like Goodfellas cos of the language, when they wouldn't comment at all the people getting stabbed and shot.0

Over expression in musicians, whether its the over expressive face of a talent show contestant which is disproportional to the actual emotion ..or, the twatty keyboard player in Keane who rocks about like he's playing the hardest track in the world when he's playing a twee piano riff like the one on Somewhere Only we Know.0

In a similar vein to forum wit mentioned above, I find it annoying when someone tries to be witty, fails miserably, and then ends the post with 'I'll get my coat' often with a few lines between the end of the said post and that corker.Mañana0

Foil/cellophane caps or covers that never come off as they should but leave you with a fragment of the material and a still sealed bottle/pack. :evil:
Rings on "ring-pull open" tins that come off on your finger leaving you to resort to the tin opener. :evil:
The dribble that comes out of petrol and diesel pump nozzles and over your shoes. :evil:Purveyor of "up"

Yep, or people that leave big gap then write something in a tiny font that's supposed to be funny. Oh such clever use of the font options!! Nope, not at all.
Someone will be along in a minute to do some of these things to try to be a) either 'ironic and witty' or b) annoying ...but it'll be c) sh1te (maybe not sh1te to some people, but those will be people that find things witty that aren't witty anyway).0 -

my current hate is twat drivers who are turning right at a junction which is wide enough for a car to turn left at who cannot sit on the right of the junction. Instead they feel it is far more important to sit in the middle of said junction and not leave enough room for any car turning left to get past. wankers!!0

See I was going to put "people who see a post stating how annoying something is (txt spk for example) and the certain knowldege that within a few minutes someone will come along and make a post in that style that someone is bothered enough to complain about". That bugs the life out of me.
