I dislike people who accept what comes out of the mouths of the media & politicians without looking to see if its based in fact or if its just more propaganda.

I dislike people who dislike something on principle alone.

I don't get that either.  Principles are just solid theories.  Truths that are safe to generalize.  Natural laws.  There is no "principle alone," all principles are formed through repeated observation of actions and consequences.

When I was a kid, I smacked my hand on a concrete floor and it stung.  Then I smacked my hand on a brick wall and that also stung. Hmmm, almost as if in principle, my hand will sting if I smack it into a rigid object. Well go ahead and dislike me for adopting that principle and disliking the idea of smacking my hand onto say, a metal plate.

Perhaps arteacher means an incorrect principle that one was told, and never learned it was false because he never tested it out for himself. Yes, that is annoying when people take wrong principles at face value and run with them.

And yeah, those rotten oranges!

Disease vectors and general piss-me-offs for mammals (and birds too, I think) would be my guess.  I feel the same about all the vampire insects.

That's exactly what he meant!
