thong underwear- Some women I know swear by it. I bought a pair once and at the end of the day, I threw them in the trash. They were so freakin' uncomfortable! Give me ol' grannie panties any day. At least they don't give me a wedgie.

murder mysteries- I just don't get what people find so entertaining about watching or reading about people getting killed and how the police find out whodunit. I don't like the real crime stories either. I think they glorify the killers and forget about the victims.

horror movies- Same as above. What's so entertaining about people getting tortured and even killed? And people find sex and nudity offensive :rolleyes:

New York Yankees- The Red Sox are much, much better and we've won two more World Series than they have this century :D :lol:

Science Fiction/fantasy- Give me realistic fiction any day, especially a nice comedy.

Vera Bradley products. I see a thousand of those bags a day. GaudyBarf.

Uggs aka Ughs. Gag me. I wear boots, but not those things.

Reality TV. Self explanatory.

Getting drunk and high...I just...don't get it.

American Idol...again I just...don't get it.

it truly astounds me that anyone can even stand listening to today's pop-punk/emo music...fall out boy, panic at the disco, my chemical romance. i swear that genre is categorized by noisy, high-pitched electric guitar riffs with an obnoxiously untrained vocalist breaking every rule of proper singing technique. when i say that kind of music is about as painful on the ears as a fire alarm, i'm being sincere, not rhetorical. it's just an absolute abomination.

I agree with those too. Another thing: high heels, especially those stilettos. Ouch!

I agree with all... except maybe murder mysteries:D

football-why is that entertaining?... especially the "Super Bowl". I've tried watching football many times... and I just don't see the joy of it.

texting-cell phones are fine with me! Texting... is worthless, costs money, and you really can't even say everything you want to because it takes so damn long!

CIGARETTES-many people I know find it sexy... is lung cancer sexy?!?

drinking-I don't understand it at all. Don't get me wrong... having a couple drinks is ok, I guess... but a few too many (enough to start having fun) I think is ridiculous... those poor people just look stupid.

tanning- again, this has been proven dangerous! Why would anyone risk getting skin cancer just to have slightly darker skin is beyond me... I think pale skin is just as pretty.

big boobs- most likely a man thing... but if anyone can explain to me why bigger is better in the chest, please do.

That's all for now... but more to come, I'm sure!:)
P.S. I don't want to offend anyone who takes part in/enjoys these things... this is strictly my dislikes.;)

In terms of music:

The Jonas Brothers - um, there's supposed to be appeal here???

Sugarland - last time I checked Jennifer Nettles had NO singing ability.

drinking-I don't understand it at all. Don't get me wrong... having a couple drinks is ok, I guess... but a few too many (enough to start having fun) I think is ridiculous... those poor people just look stupid.

Me too.

I don't drink ANYTHING with alcohol, and even when I'm old enough to legally do so, I'll still stay away.

I prefer the following drinks:

juice

milk (preferably the chocolate variety)

water

lemonade

milkshakes

Sugarland - last time I checked Jennifer Nettles had NO singing ability.

That's no surprise, 98% of the so-called country singers of today have no singing ability.

Them's be fightin' words! :mad: :smash: :boxing:

;)

I agree about Sugarland as well as Faith Hill and Shania Twain, but I like a lot of today's country singers. The reason I even got hooked on country in the first place is I was sick of the trash that passes for today's pop music.

Juice - only drink it if it's fresh squeezed and vegetable only not fruit

Milk - almond, rice and soy only, Keep that nasty dairy crap away from me

Water - bottled or filtered only and I can't drink that unless it's mixed with Crystal Light

Lemonade - love it but now has to be made with a sugar substitute

Milkshakes - I make my own using dairy-free milk and dairy and sugar-free ice cream and there is very little difference in the taste.

Sorry, I'll admit that there are some talented singers out there but when country radio shoved the legends under the door and concentrated on these wannabes my blood pressure went into overdrive.:mad: Shania and Faith I can tolerate to some degree but my favorite female singer of today is Martina McBride. I have to say though that I have never understood the appeal Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley or Keith Urban. The only male singer of today that even comes close to the legends is George Strait.

The sad thing is that people like Martina are now considered the "veterans" of country music and the airplay continues to decrease. The fact that she has a single in top 20 right now is even surprising. It's sad that people like Martina, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless, Sara Evans, Pam Tillis, etc. are being put on the back burner for the likes of Carrie and Miranda Lambert.

I don't listen to country radio much anymore but what you've said doesn't shock me any, That's what happened to the singers I like, The older they got the less they were played until finally the only way they were played was if they teamed up with one of the current popular artists. Willie Nelson hasn't done squat as a solo performer since 1982's "Alway's On My Mind" but he's managed to stay on life-support by riding the coattails of Toby Keith, Lee Ann Womack and others. Loretta Lynn was enjoying retirement and had no plans of a comeback until Jack White of the Whitestripes coaxed her out of it and produced her critically acclaimed cd VanLear Rose. Their duet Portland Oregon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK5D8nWADTQ) shocked many of their fans but was a stroke of genius thanks to Jack White.

I've been trying to get into Country and I'm just not feeling 1989-present Country because it sounds way too much like Bluegrass and I'm getting sick of every frickin' singer trying to put on a Southern accent when they sing. Now, if you give me some 1970s or 1980s Country, a lot of that sounds similar to the Corporate Rock of the day and not like twangy 90s-2000s Bluegrass Country at all, the Southern Fried Rock time period was awesome.

Lee Ann Womack is another artist who gets ignored these days. Though, her last single, Last Call, has been on the charts for months, but never reaching the top 10. Her last album was easily the best country album of 2008, but received little recognition. I love Loretta, and she completely deserved winning the Grammy for Country Album of the Year for Van Lear Rose. She still tours a bunch every year, and still puts on very entertaining shows.

Paris Hilton

Barack Obama

the Democratic Party (specifically the MoveOn.org types running the show and those who have bought their message!--or has the message bought them? :eek: :lol: Granted, there are some good Democrats in power like Heath Shuler and Lincoln Davis of North Carolina and Tennessee, respectively.)

the TV show "Friends"

cell phone activities that aren't talking

drinking....how is getting wasted and puking all over people fun? especially kids my age who do it.

drugs - same basically ^

Lady GaGa - people act like she is the most amazing thing to hit the music scene since like The Beatles. i dont see the appeal of her. shes annoying and so is her music.

:)

Country Music - seriously, it may be popular, but it grates on my nerves sooo bad. There are a few decent songs, but most of it all sounds the same and it's not good.

Today's Hits - I was looking at the Billboard chart a week ago or something, and it was all crap. Today's music just sucks ass...you seriously don't have to have any talent to "sing" popular music today.

American Idol - UGH. I have a serious hatred of it. It's so annoying. You can't really take it seriously as a singing contest when one of the judges is Paula Abdul.

Apple - the computers, the ipods, the iwhatever else. I hate their products.

Coffee - puke:

Heavy Drinking - yeah, way to waste money. Just puke the cash into the toilet and save time. Plus, I think alcohol tastes like ****, so I don't even do it casually.

Smoking - WHY DO PEOPLE STILL START SMOKING? Seriously, nowadays, anyone who starts is an idiot.

Anything on ABC. You'd think the TV sun rose and fell in Grey's Anatomy. ohno:

So I suppose you think John Wayne, Jack Webb and Michael Landon were
idiots?

She said anyone who starts nowadays and all of them probably started before some of us were ever born.

Smoking - WHY DO PEOPLE STILL START SMOKING? Seriously, nowadays, anyone who starts is an idiot.



I agree. I mean I can understand people who started years ago before everything came out about the dangers of smoking and have become addicted, but I will never understand why people choose to start smoking now. It's beyond me.

So I suppose you think John Wayne, Jack Webb and Michael Landon were
idiots?
Yep, because they all started smoking recently. I think John just started a few months ago.

- celebrities themselves. the american culture is so celeb. obsessed. especially people who don't deserve celebrity - paris hilton/kim kardashian even octumom. i stopped buying all the mags i used to buy religously. my train of thought is: i care as much about celebrities as they care about me.



- expensive beauty products. i don't mind the basics - blush/lipstick/mascara etc. but to buy those expensive "anti-aging" creams and miracle creams! waste of money!theres thousands out there w/ promises of prolonged youth. nothing will stop aging! this also goes along w/ the beauty/weight obsession i think the country has.

- myspace/facebook - don't understand why you need profiles on these to keep in touch? thats why they invented phones/cellphones/email on top of it, i find them to be dangerous having God knows what weirdo finding info. about you.

- expensive purses - a $20 bag looks just as good and holds just as much and gets just as many compliments.

- expensive purses - a $20 bag looks just as good and holds just as much and gets just as many compliments.

I don't get that either. Ditto designer shoes.

the TV show "Friends"

I do not understand that one myself. My brother Marc's wife Michelle (my sister-in-law) loves that series, and she has the first season's worth of it on DVD. I have never been a fan, and I will never be one, not only because of its utterly stupid opening theme ("I'll Be There For You"...seriously?!:eek:), but because of the general format of the series, which gets a huge thumbs-down from me.:thumbsdow

American Idol - UGH. I have a serious hatred of it. It's so annoying. You can't really take it seriously as a singing contest when one of the judges is Paula Abdul.

Coffee - puke:



First, I agree with you definitely about "American Idol." I have always hated that, not only because (at least from what I've heard about it) the genuinely good contestants usually get the shaft, but also because the terrible acts have more of a chance of winning.:mad:

Second, I disagree about coffee. I happen to love it, and I drink 2-3 cups of the stuff every morning. It gets a huge thumbs-up from me.:thumbsup:

I agree with thongs - HIGHLY overrated. :eek: :lol:

Rap/hip hop music-the sampling when they use one beat from another record over and over again. Gangsta rap where they say N, and call women B's, and whores(or ho's). My least favorite genre, but people like it


Grunge- never could get into this music and dont see why it caught on


Sports-I just dont have the attention span for it


Reality TV- Why??? Why??????


Celebrity Gossip- they are humans just like us serfs, so why is every little thing they do, such big news.

Lil Wayne. Still don't get what the big deal is.

Thanks for the distinction: I'm an 'old-style' Democrat. In fact, I've never logged on to moveon.org--I have no interest in doing so, either. However, I think Barak Obama is a good man, and capable, and cares deeply about the United States, and is striving to make it better for all Americans. Give him a chance.

After the Bush reign of error, America is hoping for a better leader of our country.

Exactly :lol: :lol:.

I like, no love, real rap music.

sushi-some people love it, but I tasted it once and I almost puke:

God, I love SUSHI

I hate beer; even Ale
Walnuts
Waffler Cookies
Reality Shows
Today's Mainstream music; which is both awful and soul less.
Flip Flops; they hurt my feet
Dresses, even gowns. I feel uncomfortable in a dress. I do have several, but I actual wear them over a pair of jeans.
Video Games. Even when I was a child, I never had been fascinated with them.
Sports. I would care less on how The Chargers of the Padres are doing; heck, they never won the World Series or the Super Bowl anyways..:lol:

also sports and politics. I've tried to get interested in them, but I just find them both SO BORING!!!

I hate beer

I agree. No matter how many times I try it, I just cannot comprehend how people are actually able to enjoy it.

The 1987-present Vince McMahon era of pro wrestling

Tennis (zzzzzzzz)

Dancing

Survivor and all other reality shows

Sandals/flip-flops

Rap music

MTV post 1987

IHOP puke:

Coffee (although I used to love coffee flavored ice-cream)

Long walks on the beach

The Beatles. In particular, John Lennon's horrific singing voice.

The Beatles. In particular, John Lennon's horrific singing voice.

I have to agree. I know they are massive legends and all that, but I will never truly understand all the hype of what apparently makes them so amazing.

I guess with all these things its different strokes for different folks. For example, there are shows I know others just love that don't do a thing for me and vice versa.

The one celeb whose appeal I've never gotten is David Letterman. I find him very bland but obviously I must be in the minority becuase he's very big. I like Jay Leno so much more.

Twilight.

Anything new-era Disney, except for High School Musical - I actually love that a lot.

I have to agree. I know they are massive legends and all that, but I will never truly understand all the hype of what apparently makes them so amazing.
Definitely. I get and accept that everyone else is absolutely nutzo about them, but eh...they don't stand out to me. If I compare them to other bands/singers, they usually fall incredibly short.

Prom- Spend 100s of bucks to go to a three hour dance and yet it's supposed to make or break your life.
Bridezilla style weddings- Get eloped!!!!
Today's tv shows- I only watch Grey's Anatomy and Big Bang Theory (actually I haven't watched that in a few weeks).

tattoos I think they're repulsive, the bigger the uglier
boxing and wrestling two useless sports They're trashy, obnoxious, disgusting, and stupid.
hip hop and rap music the worst kind of music
Britney Spears and Paris Hilton I'm sick of the media reporting their every move, I wish I had never heard of them.
I can't stand being around someone who's smoking.
lip and nose piercings, why??
men wearing ponytails, only women should wear them
most reality shows
Aretha Franklin, I have no respect for her
coffee it's nasty
30 Rock it's every critic's darling
The Golden Girls a bunch of horny old women, yuck
Grey's Anatomy
Friends the only good part of it was the theme song

sushi-some people love it, but I tasted it once and I almost puke:i ate it once i didnt like it at all

For those that have said that they hate sushi understand that there are many different varieties and many different fishes.

Perhaps you might have tried a particular fish and hated that one but not all sushi is the same.

I will probably get in trouble for this but here goes


The Eagles

What is so special about this band?


I think I will scream if I hear "Hotel California" again

Earbuds - I could never get the stupid things to stay in. :mad: Give me good old regular headphones any day!!

Earbuds - I could never get the stupid things to stay in. :mad: Give me good old regular headphones any day!!
Yes...those things are hideous.

i hated earbuds at first but ive gotten used to them...but now i can only get the kind that go like DIRECTLY in your ear in because i cant get the regular ones to stay in without hurting LOL. plus, the sound is much better in them. they're probably awful for your ears though :(

Flat screen TV's. I dont see what is so special about them, and nor do I think the quality is all that great.
