Things that you can't understand the popularity of.

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I had to do it.It was tempting me.lol

Lmao

 

[E-Man]

Soccer. Seriously, it makes me want to commit acts of inhuman cruelty to people who annoy me with it.

Soccer is just a personal preference. Just like the sushi thing, people just have different tastes. There is also a pride thing going. I am not a soccer fan myself, but when I saw Ghana beat Brazil in the U-20 World Cup last year, I got very excited because I know some people from there.

And then there were four.

24 is a much larger number than four, so in literary terms I have to write out four in letters to make it seem bigger.

E is a better start to words than K. Excellent, extraordinary, eloquent, exhilarating, and exuberance are all better words than kill, kids, kooky, kosher, and knucklehead.

Barbecue is by far a better thing than maple syrup, so the entire state of Texas is better than Canada. Any rational human being would choose barbecue over maple syrup any day of the week!

So I still beat you at life Katie dear. Your little 24 haters club has a long way to go!

 

[katie_girl09]

She's hot, and she can sing. End of story.

I disagree with the bolded.

Your little 24 haters club has a long way to go!

We're getting there. And I have a feeling that not watching 24 means that we have more functioning brain cells too.

C'mon now Katie. We run circles around you people in the mental department. After all, we do watch football instead of hockey.

Just don't go to any soccer loving countries and say that or you'll get kicked in the shins.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Taylor Swift can sing.

I don't understand the popularity of people say that a female singer can't sing. It makes me wonder what singer can sing in people's eyes.

I just hate the brainless mass Zombification soccer seems to induce. Masses of people shouting, screaming, jumping, singing even freaking crying. Some people act as if it's their very lifes that are on the line. It's pissing me off when I'm sitting in the subway and suddenly a group of soccer fans enter, drunk and starting to sing the most ****ing annoying lyrics. It makes me want to walk over there and rip their ****ing throats out.

Just don't go to any soccer loving countries and say that or you'll get kicked in the shins.

I live in a freaking soccer loving country. Some of my friends are big soccer fans and know my stance on it. Doesn't prevent me from ****ing over it and them from watching it regardless whenever I'm around.

 

[E-Man]

A lot of countries don't have as many sports to watch like we do in America. We have three big sports in football, basketball, and baseball. Then we have a lot of people into boxing and other sports like gymnastics, track and field, swimming, etc. In many countries there is just soccer, and something like rugby or cricket. There aren't many sports to watch like here, so they cling to soccer for their sports fix. Look at Senegal. They've had a wrestling culture for years, and it's now getting to the point to where it's nationally staged. Some crazy stuff happens after their matches.

You also have to consider how long soccer has been around. We're talking about a sport that has been played and practiced for over 2,000 years here. It's been around longer than the most popular religions in the world today, so naturally it will have so many fanatics. It probably has killed as many people as some religions too......nah, that's probably not possible.

Taylor Swift can sing.

I don't understand the popularity of people say that a female singer can't sing. It makes me wonder what singer can sing in people's eyes.

Mariah Carey
Whitney Houston (in her prime)
Divine Brown
Beyonce
Christina Aguilera
Carrie Underwood
Kelly Clarkson...

Also, I personally find it hard to say that someone can sing when they regularly sound like this without autotune:[YT]

Seriously, close your eyes and just listen to her voice. This is even one of her better performances. But that's just my opinion anyway.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

I think Taylor's only popular with teenage girls though. Every one of her song's is essentially something they can identify with. She still can't sing though.

 

[SpeterMan3]

Justin Bieber.

 

[E-Man]

I haven't really listened to too much Taylor Swift, but after seeing that video that Katie posted I'm saying no mas. She doesn't have the pipes to interest me at all.

 

[katie_girl09]

This is vomit inducing. Even if it is a parody

 

[katie_girl09]

Just like Justin Bieber!

All of those can be explained by staring into the sun for an hour.

I didn't say she was the best, and I agree with your list, but there are people that hates all of the above. I've seen a person that preferred some Celene Dion to all of them. That scares me.

 

[redmarvel]

Wavin' Flag.

Seriously, I was watching Much More Music, they played the "ArtistsforHaiti" version. Then after it was over they started playing something else... so I clicked to Much Music and they were playing the K'naan version. Regardless of which version you listen to, the lyrics make NO SENSE.

"When I get older, I will be stronger
They'll call me freedom, Just like a wavin' flag"

ummm... I have never called a wavin' flag "freedom" and a flag is not free. It is tied to the pole. Some flags do represent freedom, but some represent other, nastier, things (pirate flags for one). And why would you be called "freedom" because you're older and stronger (but not wiser).

 

[redmarvel]

CConn, I'm attacking your list because it starts with my country:

Canada. - we've got everything America has but have never forced our youth to go to war

Kindness. - try it, you'll like it, and it comes with fringe benefits

Karate lessons. - see above

Beer. - see above

Base jumping. - ok, I agree on this one

Peace. - I can dream about it

The Twilight Saga. - haven't checked it out, so can't comment

Interviews with Stephen King. - see above

Day time TV. - agreed

Prime time TV. - depends on the show, but most of it can go

Oprah. - agreed

Socialism. - agreed

Taxi (both the show and the service). - you have to be in the right mood (for either of them

The name "Rory." - well, it might be a good name for a pet or a racing car

Female comedians. - that's a bit sexist

Ponies. - something that fit's between the legs and has power and energy... I can see how you might be perplexed

Pennies. - who said they're popular?

Catholicism. - not as popular as Muslam

Gay sex. - haven't tried it so can't comment

VooDoo doctors. - haven't tried it so can't comment

Doctor Who. - Space Travel, Time Travel, Adventure, Romance, Unpredictable, etc

Deep sea diving. - haven't tried it so can't comment

And big mouth bass fishing. - agreed

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Justin Bieber.

You can't understand the appeal of an Ellen Page look-a-like whose head looks like it was swallowed by an angry tumbleweed? Sorry dude, but you are clearly out of touch.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Female comedians. - that's a bit sexist

Its sexist but I agree on this one too. Me and my friends (male and female) had this conversations a few days ago after one of my friends said that there were no female comedians that were funny. We all never agree on one thing, but we agreed on that.

Most female comedians try to hard to be rated-r and fail. They tell the worst jokes that I can't really repeat.

 

[E-Man]

Canada doesn't have everything America does. It surely doesn't have the athletes we have. Peyton Manning and Lebron James aren't Canadian.
