I think Freud had a lot of valid insights into human nature.
MMP=Monday Morning Post. It’s started every Monday by one of the MMP regulars. Come join us sometime, we’re a nice bunch of peope…sacharine even. 
Yes, prescription medications. Being a nutbar and needing pills for it is as common here as people claiming they could read when they were two. I’m just saying, I don’t take prescription medications. I also could not, to my knowledge, read even before I stopped crapping my pants.
I was toilet trained at two weeks.
I think “real” beer is disgusting. I’ll drink Bud, Bud Light, Bud Select, Natty Light, Pabst, Sam Adams Light, etc but will not touch stuff like Stella, Red Stripe, Heineken, Bass, Sierra Nevada - all gross.
I have zero interest in anything fantasy or sci-fi or horror.
I think coffee is gross as well.
The idea of bacon salt or chocolate + bacon makes me want to barf.
I hate sushi.
I hate it (yet understand it for health reasons of employees) when restaurants and bars ban smoking.
Not at all? The thousands, possibly millions, of lives saved, or at least made better, from people being able to instantly make a call after a car accident or something similar isn’t improving life?
And I might get banned for this, but here goes:
Not every one who posts a picture on the boards is hot, or even remotely attractive. Some of you are fat and/or are ugly, and I get annoyed when it seems everyone (wait, let me take that back…every woman) has to get complimented on their photo less they feel bad.
There, I said it. Flame me at your leisure.
Never watched Buffy, Firefly, or Serenity.
I like AFV.
I am a Lutheran, and a conservative libertarian who votes Republican.
I live in the land of rednecks, and I like it. I drive 50 miles one way to work just so I don’t have to live in the Big City.
The main family vehicle is a minivan, which replaced an SUV. The secondary vehicle is a station wagon.
I believe manmade global warming is utter bullshit. I think environmentalists are a bunch of loons, for the most part.
I am a regular in the MMP.
I’ve had bariatric surgery, and lost a buttload of weight.
At home, I’m the football widow, and I have to fight just to touch the TV remote.
I went to Starbucks once, and ordered plain old coffee. They looked at me *REAL *funny…
I deleted all of the porn off my PC after I got bored with it.
You know something though? The person that you see as fat and ugly, someone else may honestly see the beauty in. I, for instance, love a good scar. Even on the face, (especially on the neck, though). Even burn scars. On the face.
When I was young, I thought that men with beards were gross. Straight up gross and old looking. About 3 or 4 years ago, without warning, I began to find full beards the hottest thing going.
When I was very young, being ‘light-skinned’ was the only way a man could be considered ‘hot’ in my social circle (urban black American). Well now adays, it is the jet black skin that gets our motors running. If you would have shown me a picture of a jet black man with a full beard and dreadlocks when I was 16, I would have straight up told you he was ugly. I would have thought anyone that said different was lying to spare his feelings. But now I know that maybe some people really are attracted to what some people may consider repulsive.
Also, sometimes it is nice to just make someone feel good. It doesn’t hurt to tell someone she is sexy, even if she isn’t.
I didn’t say all that to put down your post…I think it was a blunt and direct post, my favorite kind. But I quoted you because I honestly have had a lot of experience in finding appeal in areas that many people may find none…I have been on both sides of that fence.
ETA: I have neither posted pics nor swooned over pics of overweight women.
Here they have 1/4" of glaze on them. It makes my teeth hurt just to look at one.
I’ve got one.
I don’t really think fighting ignorance happens here to any degree significant enough to mention.
I enjoyed Alvin and the Chipmunks , it made me laugh!
Bill Hicks wasn’t that funny, and was actually kinda hypocritical.
Joss Whedon could fall off the face of the earth and I wouldn’t care. Never saw any of his shows, never will. The fans frighten me.
Harry Potter is a substandard series with another frighteningly rabid fanbase.
I like all Star Treks. Even the couple of Enterprise episodes I’ve seen.
I also don’t care about the quality Starbucks coffee or coffee drinks. I only go to coffeeshops for the chai.
I don’t accept the existence of Og. Whatever happened to the Invisible Pink Unicorn? I liked her.
I read flakey new-age religious books and find inspiration from them. I’m very selective about which ones I read, though.
Wait a minute. How can she be pink and invis…if you can’t see her, how do you know she’s…This is one of those faith things, right?
In my case, by actively avoiding it. I loved the books when I was a kid and I have my visions of what things looked like (aided by the illustrations). I don’t want that replaced with the movie version.
Same reason I avoid any Pride and Prejudice movies.
Here goes:
I visit Starbucks regularly, mostly because there’s one right by where I get off the bus on my way home. I love their mocha, particularly the peppermint mocha they sell this time of year. I do wish there was a Peet’s in my neighborhood, though.
I’m indifferent to Joss Whedon and his works. I did like the “Once More with Feeling” episode of Buffy, though.
I hate beer.
I think my 6-year-old daughter’s a genius and I’m not ashamed to say it.
I’ve never posted in Great Debates. I occasionally contribute to the MMP, if I’m home on a Monday morning.
I don’t know where they sell bacon salt.
I was trying to be polite. 
While I’m at it, “Og” bugs me too.
While I share many of the surface-y preferences here(reading, movies, music, etc), I am a born again Christian. Not only have I not posted in any religious discussions or Debates, but I never liked to read them when I was a lurker, b/c I think most people here refuse to have an honest discussion, and would just rather yell their own opinion and mock the other side(this goes for all parties). I’m not a Bible-thumper and am glad everyone has the right to believe what they want, but I am a fundie(literal interpretation). While being conservative, I do think most people that claim Christianity, or any form of God-worship, don’t live out what they claim to believe, and end up spreading their own hate, which makes us look horrible to everyone else, hence the increasing church hatred in the world.
I’m also all about long, run-on sentences.
I made a reference to toilet flushing. People who are trying to be “green” urge only to flush when there is solid waste in the bowl, and to leave things wait if there is urine only. I cannot do this.
It was just another one of my non-sequituritis moments. Never mind.
