---- I can't stand Star Wars. In fact I despise it. I just don't get it and I dont care about anyone in it, the plot leaves alot to be desired and lightsabre battles are just elaborate set pieces designed to fill 15 minutes between sh-tty Lucas dialogue. Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: MODU on October 18, 2007, 12:37:25 PM hahaha . . . woe be unto you if you ever come across a Jedi Knight! Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Ban my account ffs! on October 18, 2007, 01:19:35 PM I hate most professional sports. Especially basketball, baseball, and football. I have no desire to be interested in them and I don't care about fantasy leagues, the draft, or any of the rest of the crap that comes with it. I can get into a football game if I actually go to the game and it's my school playing... but watching on TV? No thanks, I'd rather watch TBN.
But what sport is the most pathetic and overblown and over rated and stupid and absolutely pointless of all? SOCCER.. Good God.. slit my throat now and spare me the bore of several hours of watching a bunch of idiots with their greased pseudo mohawk running around the middle of a field kicking at a ball... there's more excitement in watching grass grow... and it's all to the tune of a bunch of skinny, cocky, drunk little idiotic European male hooligans standing in the stands singing stupid songs about how much they love their country. GOD, take me now. I'd rather watch 3 hours of learning how to crochet with Helen Keller. Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Alcon on October 18, 2007, 03:29:47 PM I hate televised sports, science fiction and top 40 music.

Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Tetro Kornbluth on October 18, 2007, 03:45:40 PM I hate televised sports, science fiction and I am a man without a country. You are a horrible, horrible person. Quote I can't stand Star Wars. In fact I despise it. I just don't get it and I dont care about anyone in it, the plot leaves alot to be desired and lightsabre battles are just elaborate set pieces designed to fill 15 minutes between sh-tty Lucas dialogue. When I don't despise it, I have to say AMEN. Now for me, The Godfather - what's the big deal? It's not that the film is bad, though it's not really my cup of tea, but for me a good film must have true depth and an ability to somehow give you a better understanding of the world then when you started. There are a couple of films like that that worked for me in that regard. But the Godfather is imo just a glorified soap opera; a 3-hour episode of the Sopranos; nothing with that, but it does not make it a masterpiece like Once upon a time in America. Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: MODU on October 18, 2007, 03:53:36 PM I don't understand the excitement behind "24" and "Lost." Maybe I expect there to be a plot and a conclusion after every episode, not just "wait till next week..." Plus, does a single episode really have to be so extremely complex to be interesting? I'd be more happy with "Starsky and Hutch" and "Gilligan's Island." Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: afleitch on October 18, 2007, 05:18:57 PM Family Guy stopped being funny after the second season.

Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: King on October 18, 2007, 05:26:43 PM I just can't seem to hate George W. Bush. He's not doing anything to make me not hate him, but I guess I'm just not that kind of person.
Also, I just can't seem to not hate Hillary Clinton. She's not doing anything to make me hate her, but I guess I'm just not that kind of person.

Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Gabu on October 19, 2007, 05:36:37 AM I care about professional sports of any kind so little that scientists would have to develop a way of measuring negative amounts of interest in order to accurately measure the extent to which I care about them.
I don't hate sports, but I certainly hate people who act as if there's something terribly wrong with you for not being a fan of them. Just bugger off and leave me alone; you'll stop both of us from wasting our time.

Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: John Dibble on October 19, 2007, 07:56:15 AM I hate children. Not as individuals, but as a group. It's not that they've done anything to make me hate them, it's just that I hate them by association - I hate politicians. Politicians are always going "save the children" as an excuse for their latest campaign for their pet special interest groups - and let me tell you, those groups aren't children. So you know what, the children can be thrown into a volcano for all I care!
I hate the children so much, I'm going to bring about a new organization. It will be the Take-a-Wish Foundation, a charitable organization that will purchase wishes from the parents of terminally ill children and redistribute them to wish-deprived but otherwise healthy adults. Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Dr. Cynic on October 19, 2007, 01:07:50 PM I hate baseball... This game is not my national pastime. The Pirates lose every year, and I'm provincial when it comes to sports... Boring sports with losing teams don't make me want to watch... (That one's more towards my family)
I don't give a damn what you think, shows like Seinfeld, Everybody Loves Raymond (With the exceptions of Peter Boyle and to a lesser extent, Brad Garrett), and Frasier were not funny! Each of these shows lasted at least 10 years, and each year they got worse and worse! CSI, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, 24, Private Practice... I'm sure I'm missing plenty... Are not as great as people claim. I find them all alternately boring, tedious, mindless drivel with bad acting or even worse, characters that I don't care about. What the hell is wrong with you optimists?!... If the evidence that the world was going to end stood right in front of you, I bet you'd think something like "Well, I'm sure it'll all be alright in the end..." That kind of blind favoritism for stubborn optimists is what has put this country in such a deep hell hole.

And the films were of average quality which (like Star Wars) just happened to have the "OMG" factor which made them successful. Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Gabu on October 19, 2007, 05:19:45 PM Every single Final Fantasy after Final Fantasy 6 is terribly, terribly overrated. Not bad, but nonetheless terribly overrated. And no, Cloud was not the greatest video game character to ever grace the planet. Cloud was one-dimensional and boring as all hell. And I mean, come on, "Cloud Strife"? What kind of f**king name is that? Every single character from Final Fantasy 6 wipes the floor with Cloud in every way. The best part of Final Fantasy 7 was Cait Sith, who was awesome and who should have been the main character.
Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Lief 🗽 on October 19, 2007, 07:15:38 PM American Football and Seinfeld are both horrible.
Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: King on October 19, 2007, 09:01:27 PM Seinfeld is one of the most boring pieces of trash in television hisotry. Oh yeah and that, too.

Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Cubby on October 20, 2007, 02:03:56 AM Seinfeld and Family Guy are 2 of my favorite shows ever. Some of the humor in Seinfeld you have to be from the New York area to understand.
American Football is boring as hell. The only sports I ever watch are the playoffs and World Series when my favorite team, the Yankees, are playing. Tennis and Golf are the 2 worst sports. CSI/Cold Case/Without a Trace: WHY DO PEOPLE WATCH THIS CRAP? Its about murdered people! Do you enjoy murder? Then don't watch it. I've never seen a single Star Wars movie in my life. All I know about them, I learned from Spaceballs Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Everett on October 20, 2007, 04:42:22 AM I hug trees. I pull staples off of bulletin boards for no particular reason. I don't have a television and am thus completely ignorant of various TV shows. I loathe sports, especially football. I spend my Friday and Saturday nights staying up until odd hours doing various sorts of homework instead of "normal" activities. Speaking of normality, I use the word "normal" in the context of orthogonality much more frequently than how "normal" people generally use the word "normal".
Also, I hate politics. Oh, burn. I suppose that the mere mention of my academic pursuits would automatically entail social suicide, though.

Wow. Absolute garbage. I've seen the show before and it's kind of fun to watch them freak out when something clanks or bangs around... but the garbage they showed from the Sarah Winchester house was so awful! "oooh.. it's so cold! Ooooh dear.. there's a draft" Says the woman sitting opposite the open window in the middle of the night in October. Then they were moving the glass on the Ouija board and it kept tipping over... something I'd expect to happen if you were PUSHING the glass around. Then the table was moving around. Why couldn't it move when they DIDN'T have their hands on it? All garbage. GARBAGE!!!

If you want to listen to good old music, go listen to The Hated.
Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Jake on October 23, 2007, 10:56:15 PM Beatles are the most overrated band in history. I discussed it with my friend in the car today. She completely disagreed of course; something about their "legacy". Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Boris on October 23, 2007, 10:59:10 PM I can't stand the Beatles either. If you want to listen to good old music, go listen to The Hated. uh, aren't they from the late 1980s? Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: they don't love you like i love you on October 23, 2007, 11:02:41 PM Formed in 1985. You're awesome for knowing who they are though.
Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Bay Ridge, Bklyn! Born and Bred on October 24, 2007, 08:34:37 AM also, I HATE dancing. Don't get me wrong, I go to clubs and bars quite frequently and "get down" but only after I've consumed massive amounts of alcohol, and I don't make a fool of myself either (which is pretty impressive when drunk) and have great rhythm. But I think dancing is silly, pointless, and an utter waste of time, just like playing or watching sports. Strangely enough, I love dance music. Even gay stuff like the Pet Shop Boys and Justin Timberlake.
I also don't know anything about cars and find it a boring topic. I own a 2000 Honda Prelude and the only thing I know about is it goes forward when I push down the foot pedal on the right and stops when I push down on the pedal on the left. My goodness. I just realized I'm not a man. Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: memphis on October 24, 2007, 11:24:50 PM also, I HATE dancing.

Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Gabu on October 25, 2007, 12:32:43 AM You guys are so full of crap. No, that's the Beatles. Seriously, what's the big deal with them? There are so many bands out there that were so much more talented and had so much more profound music, but no, of all the bands to have existed in the world, the Beatles somehow become "the" band who everyone thinks was the best ever and swears that there will never be another band like them again. Then again, I hope that that last statement is true. Then maybe one day we can focus on bands that are much better than the Beatles ever were. Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Gabu on October 26, 2007, 03:19:05 AM Oh yeah, I just remembered a good one: what the f**k is the big deal with "Knocked Up"? I saw it a few weeks ago after hearing over and over again how hilarious and great it was when a friend lent me the DVD, and I just thought it was trash. Do people honestly find it hilarious to watch dysfunctional and pathetic people basically just yell at each other for two hours? I found it painful and embarrassing to watch and felt that the best part was when it finally ended.

I pretty much just thought the lady co-worker that always sits in on the main character's meetings with her boss was hilarious... "Yeah, I think child birth is actually really gross. It's all like.. wet." There's no humor quite like unintentionally offending somebody pretty badly and holding a completely straight face the whole time.

Well, you can't really argue subjective preference, as we've told BRTD many times regarding suburbs. The Beatles remain one of my favorites though it's hard for for me to explain how or why one kind of music makes you feel versus another. Knocked Up was really funny too, though it's obviously not some landmark event in cinema. Maybe you just have bad taste in music and movies :) Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Hatman 🍁 on October 30, 2007, 11:52:50 PM I hate video/computer games, although I admit the wii is pretty cool.

Title: Re: 'Social Suicide' Thread Post by: Platypus on December 29, 2007, 02:01:43 PM i started coming out today, and i live in texas. that's social suicide sometimes! Just noticed this. Good for you, if it makes you feel better to be out. Melbourne is a remarkably accepting place and so I have felt comfortable here, although at 15 I was scared. I still haven't come out to my family. When I moved to Canberra for uni, I moved into a student residence. It has 320 students, is run by the Dominicans and has a reputation as being the loudest, blokiest college on campus. On my first day, I didn't know that. I had decided that in my new city I would be totally open about my sexuality, and so when the topic of girls was raised when I was playing pool with a couple of later-year ressies, I came out to them. The two guys were THE most blokey-bloke of the bunch; the head of the boy's club and his deputy. They were actually pretty cool with it; in fact, one of them saw another guy who lived at the college walking past and said to me "Hey, I'm pretty sure that guy is gay, I'll go and get him". He came back with 'Adam', who was in the closet but so effete that suspicion was inevitable (he came out mid-year, and then left the college). He wasn't my type, but the event made me feel more comfortable about being out at college and since then i've been 100% out. when I later found out who those two were, I almost shat myself! Still, it was done and if it was ever to be pulled back, it would have been impossible once those two knew. After 'Adam' left (and for most of the time he was there) I was the only open non-het there. Out of 320 people. Did it affect people's opinions of me? I'm fairly sure that it did. I know there are other non-hets there, but none have decided to come out, which is their right of course, but it is frustrating. In the second semester I got involved with ANU Queer and it's social wing, the 'Jellybabies'. I'm not a militant homosexual or anything, and I enjoy the presence of many close straight friends in my life, but I very much enjoy being able to spend time with gay guiys, bi guys, bi girls, lesbians, a trans and a few ?s. I learnt some stuff, I met some drop-dead gorgeous guys, and I found a space where I could be totally relaxed about my sexuality at uni. Being out does affect your social standing. It opens possibilities to new friendships if that's what you want, and also closes doors-but if someone doesn't want to know you because of your sexuality, they're probably not worth knowing. By living as the only representative of an often misunderstood and occasionally persecuted minority in an environment like college, I saw some bad elements of people who lived with me. I only had two serious issues (). I also had a lot of positive responses, some from surprising sources, suh as the two guys at the pool table. I wish you the best in the new angle of your life. Being 'bent' might not take you down the road of the majority, but who wants that when the alternate path feels right, and opens up some amazing new vistas? I'm happier now than I have ever been. I hope the same for you. |
