On the whole Angelina Jolie thing...I agree she takes herself WAY too seriously. I think it's great for people to be involved in the welfare of the planet, but I don't like that she's appointed herself as a emissary for all good in the world. At least that's how it seems.

I've never thought Jen Aniston had great hair, but she DOES have a great body. I'm Team Angelina too, though really, Angie and Jen should just get together and leave Brad out of it.

I agree. And I mean really, by her doing it, it's going to be a lot more in the public eye than say, you or I doing it, which in turn probably convinces a whole boatload of others to pitch in too. I see no issue whatsoever with that.
And frankly, I think if you'd been to some of the places she's been so that she could bring awareness etc. you'd have some major issues if you weren't deathly serious about it.

plus, I like the fact that angelina doesn't just talk the talk. she goes to these places I'd never want to go, and does the best she can to help. I can't find an issue with that, sorry. I don't think she's doing it for show, the way other celebs promote their "causes."

I honestly don't understand how people can hate HP or LOTR (assuming they've read the books - because it irks me when people see the movies but don't read the books and then form an opinion). It boggles my little biased mind. I love them so hard. I'm actually wearing the MUGGLE tee that I got at the HP exibition right this second.
I hate sports. Unless I'm watching live, then it's alright. And only alright. Hockey I do love though, but even then you won't catch me watching a game on a tuesday night. Play offs are a different story.

Yes, this is all very true, I would never demand their help or expect them to be at my beck and call. I just hear a TON of "All a bridemaid's job is to show up with a dress on and smile." I just don't agree with that at all.
I think the management of the Eagles have sold their souls to the devil by picking up Vick and letting him start in games. I also believe this for anyone that roots for him, be it fans, sportscasters, etc. They all disgust me. I feel that he should be dropped into a ring gladiator style with peanut butter spread on his "swimsuit areas" to have the angry dogs that he abused bite it off.
I will probably spank my kids. I was spanked. I turned out alright and it taught me to fear punishment and act right.

Ditto. Nancy weasles her way out of everything and it seems so far fetched. I liked Seasons 1-3 the best.
The one thing that annoys me about Vampire Diaries is that everyone keeps forgiving Damon for all of the horrible things he does. Don't get me wrong: I'm all about the bad boys in vamp shows! Team Spike and Team Eric all the way!
But there should be a line. In Buffy S6, it's very obvious where the line is when Spike crosses it. Once he does so, he has to go on this epic quest for redemption and eventually earn Buffy's forgiveness and trust. I'm pretty sure that will be TB S4 for Eric. But Damon? He should have lost Stefan after Lexi and Elena after Jeremy, but I never really feel that his actions have consequences and it kind of undermines the entire plot for me.
I still heart it. But it's the least "real" of the three shows, which is weird because its vampires are definitely the most human.
