2. Religious dumbfags.

I would have put them as first
and people who just do not listen what other are saying to them
Pentium100:
Conspiracy theorists (everything you say against them will be interpreted as "the man" trying to silence them).
Fanboys
The really religious.
What do they have in common? Simple, they believe their idea so much that they will not listen to any argument against it.
Also criminals or violent drunks - you'll get punched for not agreeing with them.
Scudworth:
Arguing with anybody is a tiring proses that I usually try to avoid.
Mostly because the majority of people think you win an argument by being the loudest or having the last word.
The only true way to win an argument is to win the person over to your side of thinking. Anything less and it's just a heated debate with no resolution.
And winning people over to your side of thinking is seldom worth the effort or even possible depending on the person e.g. Religious dumbfags.
Most of the time I'll just let people be wrong, as long as it doesn't adversely effect me.
Proin Drakenzol:
As a counterbalance I'm going to throw this out:
The zealously atheist, they're like some sort of unholy combination (haha, I crack myself up) of religious nutjob and conspiracy theorist. And they're generally really, really stupid; like don't actually understand history, politics, the religion they hate (usually Catholicism), the religions that have nothing to do with the religion they hate, or science for that matter.
Semnae is (was?) a good example. Didn't understand that not all religions are the same, not all religious people want to convert him, didn't understand that "string theory" was actually nothing more than a loose collection of semi-related internally consistent mathematical models, etc.

So true. In fact I'd say it's the zealously anything. I hate arguing (or half the time even talking to) anyone who's so stuck in their ways that they won't even concede the possibility that they could be wrong. Especially when it's something super opinion-based like the religion/atheist argument. People who super strongly believe anything (even science can be wrong and need to be changed) tend to either be naive or not very smart. That's my experience anyway.
