    [QUOTE]Off the top of my head, The main guy from Twilight always looks like he needs a bath and a day to sober up. The main girl always looks depressed and needs to get the fvck over whatever crawled up her a$$ and died. People who have a lot of children, whether they can afford them or not, are irresponsible. The world has enough people as it is. <strong>Celebrities who get a lot of press for adopting from other countries irritate me. There are so many kids in the US that need good homes too. </strong>Why aren't they good enough? Coffee is gross. Anyone who wants to have a kid should have to go to counseling first. My mom says anyone who wants a kid should have to pay a $1,000 fee to the state first to cut down on so many women on welfare popping out more, but I haven't decided on what I think about that yet.

    This always bothers me.  I'm not against adopting in any way, but I just feel that people forget about the issues we have here on our own soil.  My nephew was a safe haven baby (his mom severed rights after she gave birth).  Matty is the sweetest little boy in the world.

    [QUOTE]The Pac-10 will probably go to the Pac-12 if Utah joins.  I could get behind Boise State or Fresno State but I don't want any of those big 12 schools in my conference.  The only thing that sucks more than Texas teams are Florida teams.  That is another of my unpopular opinions.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Unpopular opinions? : I went to Pride parade on Sunday and after 45 minutes I was like, "yeah, the gays are fun and all, but I'm kind of sick of this." So I went to Starbucks. As with any parade, the floats are just okay and most of the participants are local politicians and businesses. A few floats were playing Lady Gaga, though. I also got sunburned.

    Mark made me go to Long Beach Pride.  I was like, dude, you know I hate parades and he said, but Smokey it's PRIDE.  there will be gay men jumping on floats with house music; you'll love it.  He so lied to me.  It was a bunch of regular looking people and a couple bears in underwear on bikes.
    Pride parade is just another parade and it sucked. 

    Oh and I hate circuses too.  That goes for the cirques do soleils too.

    Stephen Lynch is hilarious. I have all his CDs. I love his gynocology song, getting grandpa's money, and the one about farting with his girlfriend. Man, that makes me sound like such a bad person!

    I agree with the counseling part, probably.  As far as the fee, does she propose $1000 every time you want a kid, or just a one-time payment for as many kids as you want?  I'm intrigued.

    [QUOTE]I don't think people should breed dogs. I don't care if it's a show dog, champion this or that, I don't care for breeding at all.
    Posted by vallyhoo[/QUOTE]

    see, I think in some circumstances it's ok. for example, corgis are used a LOT on ranches for herding, so they often breed the ones they have to work.
    I don't like breeding just to make money, or just to show. I think showing dogs takes them so far away from dogs' roots. believe it or not, dogs love to work.

    YES. it doesn't help that baseball season is pretty much all year and they play fifty-eleven games.

  • Re: international adoptions, I think there are a lot of valid reasons people adopt internationally.  A lot of people want to raise a child from infancy; there really are not that many infants available for adoption.  People are afraid that they're not up to the challenge of adopting a baby or child whose mother may have used drugs, had an alcohol problem or mental illness, etc.  Many of the children available for US adotpion are born to these mothers, and I can't really fault people for knowing their own limits as parents.  Some people may not want anything like an open adoption, which is frequently requested by birth mothers in the US.  Some people may also feel that, as bad as children in US foster care have it, a child in a 3rd world orphanage may have it worse. 

    I may not agree with some of these reasons, but I am not sure I can condemn someone who does.

    I've always assumed so many people adopt from other countries because it's so much easier and because there's a much lower chance of the birth parents taking the child back, but I certainly don't think people should get publicity or extra bonus points for adopting from another country.

  • My unpopular opinion is that I don't consider it "boycotting" BP if you stop going to their gas stations.  If you stop at an ampm convenience store, your supporting a BP owned franchise.  If you get an oil change & Castro Oil is put in your car, your supporting a BP company.  If you drink a soda and the aluminum can is made by ARCO aluminum your supporting a division of BP North America.  If you see road construction it is likely the machinery being used contains the industrial lubricants made by BP, the road you drive on contains asphalt & bitumen made by BP.  The power that turns on your computer could very well be generated by a BP energy company.  It's a giant monster that you can't avoid.  And believe me, I'd like to hit BP in the pockets HARD.   They deserve it but I don't see how avoiding their gas stations will do so.

    Yes!  I am glad I am not the only one.  That's why I love Sandra Bullock even more....because she didn't use her money to get a kid right away.  She worked through the adoption process like a regular person would and she adopted a child from the US.
