oh sweet god - me niether.

Especially the ones all decked in their fancy hats, colorful scarves, and knee high boots who have to ask the quarterback as he walks off the field at the half "how do you think your offense will handle the defense's adjustments to your new zone?" (or whatever the hell sounds football intelligent).

You look - and sound - ridiculous.

I used to feel that same way until someone pointed out to me that things like life saving surgeries and medical advances today keep plenty of people alive that would otherwise be dead. It's kind of the same thing. So now I'm not sure what I think . To each her own I guess.

Posted by jnic0319[/QUOTE]

My mom pierced my ears at 3 months. People thought I was a boy because I was bald and I guess she thought earrings would make me more girly. I'm sure I screamed and wailed at the time, but I don't care about it now. I don't remember it, so I don't consider it to be a big deal. And you can barely even see the holes, probably because I barely wear earrings.

I can see this point. But at the same time, I wouldn't want anyone to go to extreme measures to save my life (if it would never be the same - think Terry Schiavo) or keep me alive well into my 90s if I had to live on a respirator or something. Same with my pets. (And this is someone who just spent a lot of money and hospital stays on her cat.) At some point, you have to do what's best, even if that means you stop trying. Note: I have never had a miscarriage and I have no idea if I'll be able to get pregnant. But FI and I have agreed that if it doesn't work out, at some point we'll say, "Well, we gave it a shot." And look into adoption.

But people draw the line at different places.

Agreed, they've completely lost sight of their original pupose. It used to be about not drinking drunk, now it's about "if you have one sip of alcohol and drive you will DIE!!!!."

Edit: That should say <em>driving </em>drunk, we all know drinking drunk is just a good ole time.

I don't mind the vuvuzelas (the horns that make the buzzing noise at all the World Cup games) and think everyone should STFU about them. It's a soccer game - it's noisy. Deal.

And I'm on the bandwagon of if you don't usually like soccer, don't act like you suddenly care SO MUCH now, and also please don't act like you know anything about it. I'm all for there being new fans, but when you argue with me without knowing the rules, I think you're an idiot.

I think it's annoying how everyone is complaining about them now. Like they don't appear at EVERY soccer game in South Africa. But again, I guess it's because people only watch soccer during the world cup. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-undecided.gif" border="0" alt="Undecided" title="Undecided" />

Agreed 100%.

And I also think people who like Cristiano Ronaldo are idiots. I can't help myself. I just feel that way.

I don't understand people who don't either watch or read the news. I just don't get them - how can you not?

KatyRoseM · June 2010

I don't mind people who don't usually like soccer getting into the world cup, its nationalism and so on. I mind if they won't shut up about it or pretend to know things they don't.

There's a difference between people getting into the World Cup who don't generally follow football, and those BAJILLIONS of people who insist they watch it all the time and know all the rules, even though when they argue with you they know nothing about current standings and clubs, and even less about the rulebook. I think that's what EIC was going for.

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · June 2010

I think it's sad when people don't read things, period. Like, "Oh, I haven't read a book in 5 years. I hate reading." WTF is wrong with you? That's something to be proud of? I automatically think you're a bit lower down on the IQ scale if you admit that.

angela72023 · June 2010

As usual, I am late to the party...

I hate Obama. Period. Before he was elected and now. Ditto the Healthcare Reform...before I knew the details and now that I am informed.

I am secretly addicted to RHNJ and RHNY...I love them!

I tan...without sunscreen...as much as possible...

I don't understand why people will give to charities for foreign kids but not to the local cereal drive/toys for tots etc...

I text people I don't want to talk to...please don't call me to answer a text.

I hate people who file for unemployment after they got fired for screwing up. Doing that paperwork takes up at least an hour of my time and I have better things to do.

I think women who take their dog to work with them every day because it is "wrong" to leave them at home alone, but are fine with putting their infant in daycare should not be allowed to have kids. Ever.

Moneypenny424 · June 2010

I can understand how some people might feel about IVF, but I think it is probably entirely different when you're in the situation. And if you end up with babies as cute as my triplet nieces, I'm all for it

.

In general, I believe in better living through scientific advances. I don't think extending my life when I've been in a coma for a year is "better living," but I'm definitely a fan of birth control pills, cancer treatment, HIV drugs.

[QUOTE] I wish people would do more research and realize these aren't animals you can keep locked up in a cage all day if they scream or make a mess. They are highly intelligent, social animals that NEED to be a part of the family. They will mentally and physically suffer if they are not cared for properly. And most of them will be in your household far longer than your own child will.

I agree 1000%. Which is exactly why I haven't gotten one yet. I've wanted a bird since January, so I've been researching. Plus I wanted to make sure that I was out of the apartment lifestyle before owning a bird.

Stackeye210 · June 2010

Alix I wanted to punch Ronaldo in his face yesterday - it gave me great satisfaction when even the announcers were talking about how much of a baby he is. His whining makes him lose all cute points he possibly could have won from me ever!

And how many times in one game can you be looking towards a camera and saying F*CK so clearly we can read your lips?

tlv204 · June 2010

Ditto mery. I understand not wanting to read 100 books per year, but how can you HATE reading? And, like you said, why the fuuck would you admit that to anyone?

I can definitely admit that my opinion may change if I'm ever in a situation where I might have to consider other options.

But I think doctors are idiots if they perform IVF on 24 year-olds who have been married for a year.

KatyRoseM · June 2010

I love my dogs (and they are little) but they are not people and I should not act like they are. People should not bring their dogs in public unless they are service dogs. People should have their dogs on leashes. Most importantly people should know their dogs are not actually children.

I wish more restaurants had bans on cell phones. If you are not a doctor or an expectant parent, you can go an hour without your phone. Or, stay home.

Also, take out "cell phone" and insert "children."
