I really have an issue with weight. I can’t even figure out a way to say it on here without getting flamed to all hell. Every single friend I have had that was significantly overweight, also significantly over-ate and typically ate absolute crap.
Doesn’t mean I won’t like you, or talk to you, or be your friend, or treat you with the utmost respect. I’m just sayin’ I don’t buy into the crap.
I believe Jack Chick and Fred Phelps.
Kidding!!! Not only shouldn’t a person admit that on SDMB but they shouldn’t admit that in the real world.
I never liked Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Deadwood, Buffy, Firefly and most of the “popular” shows.
Cats are evil incarnate and are merely waiting for you to let your guard down so they can rip out your jugular and feast on your corpse.
I don’t believe Bush is evil or stupid. I think that he has been out of his depth since before he was Governor, was poorly advised and now refuses to admit to his mistakes.
I think that proselytizing atheists can be as annoying and pompous, if not moreso, than proselytizing religious people.
I think that some of the more prolific posters here are given greater leeway when it comes to threadshitting than other people simply based on who they are and how long they’ve been here.
I hated I Love Lucy and I wasn’t all that keen on Elvis either
I hear you. I can’t speak much without being a hypocrite, as I am still about 20-25lbs overweight (losing it, though I did let myself get here). When I tell my friends that I need to lose more weight because I am fat, they tell me how skinny I am. Sure, I’m not as heavy as them (my height but 80-100lbs heavier than me), but I am still overweight, and 25lbs is still unhealthy. I am certainly not ‘skinny.’
I am respectful and most people don’t know that I have a bigotry towards the obese, because I am kind enough and respectful enough not to let it come out. It is one of those mental things, a “first thought” that embarrasses me. I know it is because my dad constantly makes fun of fat people (and always has), and though I strive not to be like that, my thoughts betray my real feelings.
Buy this man a pint! I hate them both, too. (well, not hate. To hate would require I give either of them some thought. Let’s say I don’t find Lucy funny–I never found Lucy funny; and Elvis was well-did you know he actually had blonde hair and dyed it? Enough said)
I actually believe in paranormal, occult stuff and what-not, despite my better judgement.
I also think Texas is a pretty nifty place, as well.
Oh, and one time, I flipped off a box of kittens.
I <3 Nascar.
And I like kicking puppies also.
Ms. Hanff, I’m happy to see that the reports of your demise have been grossly exaggerated.
I hate:
- band name
- “the master speaks”
- Hi Opal!
I completely agree. I’ve never seen a message board before where people are so disgustingly, vehemently disrespectful to each other as they are here. If these Pit conversations took place in person, we’d have fights as vicious as those in Fight Club breaking out every night.
Sometimes, when posting here, I really have to struggle to resist using anime-style emoticons.
Replace “believe” with “am enthralled by” and “Chick and Phelps” with “George Adamski”, and we have my admission.
That Proto-Contactee just fascinates me! Was he hoaxing, hoaxed, self-deluded or, juuuust maybe, really in contact with the Interplanetary Council?
Also, while I do not believe the Rapturist doctrines which I once held as a much younger Christian, I sometimes hope that Rapturism is correct.
The way I see it, we are in fact fighting ignorance by letting other people know that they are losers.
You don’t get around much, do you?
Nah, I’m just selective about who I spend my time with. Thankfully, the intelligence I see from the majority of this board is unmatched, and outweighs the rudeness of the few. That’s why I still stick around. 
Really? I suspect you haven’t seen too many message boards.
We Satan worshippers over on the Dungeons & Dragons boards are pretty polite. 
In all seriousness, which board? I might go check it out. (By PM, please)
I think tipping is stupid. Albeit, I take a rather more pragmatic approach to it than I use to - if I feel like an eatery is of sufficient quality for me to visit again in the future, I will leave a fairly generous tip to ensure no boogers are in my food next time.
Every time I see this mentioned here, I am reminded of a great personal tragedy - I once lost the respect and friendship of a lovely young lady, who I had a serious crush on. Having a long and vicious rant to someone who was waiting tables to pay her tuition, in great detail, why I think tipping is a vile institution, and how I never leave a tip for anyone, ever, is what I would call a “smooth move” in the ironic sense.
Mind you, that wasn’t the only issue, I was on some medication during that period in time that I suspect had some effects on my mood, making me an insufferable ass in general, but it really sealed the deal. She never spoke to me again after that, I don’t blame her. I wish I was making this up, it’s one of those strange “life imitates Dope” moments.
I don’t know where she is now, but every time the topic comes up here, I die a little inside.
Doesn’t change my mind about the tipping though. 
I’ve had a near death experience.
Also, I have dreams that tell the future.
Also, I’ve been abducted by aliens.
And James Randi is a fraud.
