"like very heavy wallpaper" is great. I may steal it one day.
as for meat eating being a sin, MY God told Noah to start killing and eating animals, and who am I to go against my God?

An animal can have one of two purposes: pet or dinner. Personally, I don't have enough space to build a cowhouse in my backyard.  |

Dave Allen said, on religion...
Its like us Both arguing the existence of an imaginary black cat in a dark room with no lights on.
The difference is, you found him.
(Dave Allen was an Irish Comedian who got in a lot of trouble with the Catholic church for telling it like it is.... the truth....he used to say at the end of his shows, during which he would unmercifully take the rise out of religion, "May your god go with you"... for some reason, this upset some devoutly religious people....)
I stole it from a friend, Mike Harding, who will be quite pleased one of his sayings is getting international.
Animals can have whatever purpose they want in life...
The only requirement I have ever made is that I must be able to kill what I eat.
If you are too squeamish to butcher your own meat, you have my blessing to become Vegetable-ist, if that is what you want?...
But that was your choice.
If you are lonely being a Minority, that is YOUR problem.....
Dont make it mine.
I do not want to join you, and if you are standing there demanding that I do, then you are already a fool.
I make my own choices.
Yo are not my Minder, and you dont have any permission to make any choice for anyone else..

I'd like to add TV shows that are based on the premise of abusing the principal characters.

Can we put the "reality" show Survivor in here? Or, is that included in TLW's appointed category? (The band Survivor is allowed to be outside the room, I have nothing against them... ) |

(The band Survivor is allowed to be outside the room, I have nothing against them... ) Why stop at that "reality" show? Ban the lot I say - then toss them in here just to be sure they don't come back! |

Paris Hilton has been keeping herself out of the news lately, so I nominate Lindsay Lohan to be Queen Turd & Paris becomes a Turdette. And, of course, Beiber is King Turd. |

I want to add relatives.
I Dont care at all, ok?...
Just because you are the brother-sister-mum-dand-aunt-whatever, doesnt give you the right to have an opinion that is any more than just drivel.
Igf you can be shown to be worthy and entertaining on your own right, go get a job, but DONT build a careear on just that you are related to someone.
And here I can give you an example or two, there are many famous entertainers who have equally famous parents, but have never banged on and on about it to get there, and they DO have talent....
Just sitting on a couch making conversation for the sake of it, any twit can do that, that is what Daytime TV is all about?...

Back-Stories.
Its starting to get beyond a joke now?...
If you can "sing", you can sing.
You are not going to get any vote at all, but dont expect an ounce of "Support" because you have a sad story to tell...
If I watch a talent show, I want to see people who are REALLY good at what they do...
I dont want to have to sit there "With a box of tissues", listening to sob stories?....
We all suffer sh-1-t in our lives, for an instance as one of the many, I lost my Dad before he was 70, way way way to early, but I didnt jump on a talent show and use THAT as a sympathy vote to get me to the finals....
Neither did a great many people in the world.
Cut the back-story, lets see the talent, and those that "Think" they can sing but are just as awful as my dog are more entertaining than me having to fast>>fwd through all the dross.

As an addition to that: If you're going to tell a sob story, at least choose a true one (i.e., guy who lied about military service)

But, this is Generation Sympathy. They want everyone to know all the time that at some point in time they experienced loss/hurt/betrayal and it has damaged them for life. And they would greatly appreciate it if you would cry for them or support their cause as a result of their pain...
Would Generation Damaged Goods be too long of a title for them?

If they truly can sing and need to tell their sob story, why not just write a song about it like everyone else with musical talent does? There's nothing new and innovative about it, I'll be the first to admit, but at least it becomes "entertaining" in some way. |
