... Ah, you posted that on your own page. No wonder I didn't get a notification about it.
The best thing you can do is leave em be and don't bother them. And... also to not request for awards while they're still mad at ya.
You gotta be careful with your words. I despise political correctness and I'm a very blunt person by default, but I still take what I'm saying into account because getting a lot of people mad at me really isn't healthy for a good discussion. Sure, there are certain "cultures" that I want nothing to do with (I actually share many of the same complaints that you have), but unless you're one of those types who doesn't give a damn about what others think of you, best you either choose your words wisely, or just keep it to yourself. And you honestly don't seem to be the "doesn't care" type, since you're asking for help here.
I've always found that a good way to stay on your acquaintances' good sides and still have an intelligent discussion is to approach something with an open mind. Rather than go off listing reasons why you hate something (which can be picked apart, disproven, and flung back into your face, as you've seen), ask why people like it. You can get some insight on whatever you're talking about, either so you'll be able to craft a stronger argument against it, or even see an aspect of it that you don't entirely hate.
... Whoops, that was rather long-winded. Sorry 'bout that.
