I love ketchup, though!
I like fish that doesn't taste like fish.

1. I love the heat. After dealing with 2 or 3 days of freezing temperatures I'll take the tropical weather and high humidity any time.
2. Mosquitos are great. Itching their bites is a lot of fun and a great feeling of relief.
3. Seafood is excellent! Especially ceviche and sushi. The less you cook it, the better it is.
4. Condiments can make even the worst burger taste good. A-1 Steak Sauce is heavenly in fact.
5. Headachesnd very convenient excuses to get out of unwanted sex.
I hate sea food too. Condiments, HELL NO, I cant stand them. Meat is good enough alone, I am a man of simple tastes. When I bite into food I don't want 15 different flavors attacking me at once. Headaches suck for all but I have had the luck of never having bad ones.
I don't think I can come up with five things.
1. "Law and Order Libertarians" They don't want government in their life, unless it comes to securing the border, deporting 12 million illegal immigrants and assigning a police officer to walk around with every sex offender that has left jail.
2. I'm really struggling here. Oh ignorance. People who talk about government but have no concept of how government works. People who talk about gaming and have no basis for their opinons.
3. Hypocrites. Saying the Japanese don't have the right to pursue their cultural heritage and eat whales while every other culture pointing a finger at them kills millions of cattle, chicken and whatever else tastes good without flinching.
4. Okay, now, I'm starting to get worked up... I think I can come up with two more things. Lack of civility and pleasantness in retail and service industry in Australia. People who work in retail and service industries here seem to go out of their way to be rude.
5. Electronics made in China. Ever since consoles stopped being made in Japan they have sucked for reliability.
I couldn't really think of anything so stole ideas from other people and altered them to taste.
1. Cold: it's painful. 45C is the best sort of weather you can have, and the least painful.
2. Nausea: more annoying than headaches.
3. Headaches: not quite as annoying as nausea.
4. Fat: on meat I mean. Pity it's needed for the flavour as the pain is not worth it!
5. lack of fat on meat: nothing worse than bland meat, except taste meat that will end up like a blade in your stomach.

That would only be hypocritical if the objection were a moral one. As far as I've seen, the objection is primarily that the whales that are being hunted are endangered species.

I am talking about people who assign special merit points to whales over other animals. I have not heard the argument that "the whales that are being hunted are endangered species" as a primary argument against whaling since I was a kid growing up in the 80's.

Well whales, like dolphins, apes and elephants are self aware. So there's that thing too. And yes, the endagered argument is used all the time. Maybe one of your other personalities heard it?
I love that argument. "The aninamls I have no intention of eating are self-aware, the one's I do are not."
I've worked with cattle my entire childhood, and since I've returned to Australia. They are self-aware, all animals I've encountered are.
And before you start, none of the animals on my property are ever killed.
EDIT: As for what arguments you and Yoda hear the most and what arguments I hear the most, well, that's all anecdotal.
Do you even know what self awareness means and what it implies?
How do you know your sheep are self aware? Because I work with animals is not an valid argument.
This thread got interesting.
Animals that have passed the mirror test include: all of the great apes (bonobos, chimpanzees, orangutans, humans, and gorillas), rhesus macaques, bottlenose dolphins, orcas, elephants, and European Magpies.Of course, this doesn't work so great on bats.

WTF image google "bonobo" yields an unholy amount of apes fucking.
I'm not even joking.
For the love of all that is good and holy do not --EVER-- Google "hamsterbo."

Nor some isolated people, nor some children etc.
1. Heat. I live in the fucking tropic, so tough shit. And it's especially shitty when my car's A/C breaks (like...NOW) and my wife won't let me use hers. Anyway, fuck heat, I'd rather live up there in the tundra with Yoda and die in the fangs of a polar bear if I had the chance of not being hot ever again.
2. Mosquitos. Again, tough shit. Over here some of them are the size of Meganeuras, so that adds to the thrill of going out on summer nights while avoiding being drained out of all of your blood in a matter of minutes.
3. Seafood. Holy crap I hate it. I can only stomach certain dishes with fish. But anything beyond that is out of the question. And it's not even an allergies thing or whatever. I just can't fucking stand the flavor and consistency of some of the ocean's most treasured delicacies.
4. Condiments. Damn them all to hell. I hate ketchup, mayo, mustard and anything in between that can be squirted, smeared or splooged over food. If you seat next to me at dinner, and whip out nonchalantly your huge fucking bottle of ketchup, you're going to get my trademark evil eye and will probably develope explosive diarrhoea by the sheer force of my willpower.
5. Headaches. I'm very prone to migraines, and even the mildest headache can quickly develop into an apocalyptic nightmare of pain, nausea and misery in the right circumstances. So everytime I start getting that very special feeling on my forehead and temples, I get very cranky because I know what's usually coming next.
