Things that you can't understand the popularity of.

[Jennifer Walters]

Kindness.

Peace.

Prime time TV.

Female comedians.

Gay sex.

Doctor Who.

HEY! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! Do you hate life?

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

Granted the US was 1st with winter Olympic medals but the US has 10 times the population we do and did not get 10 times the medals we did. (US had 37 we had 26)

 

[SuperFerret]

It's too bad too. Canada's got everything going for it, but it's still Canada.

 

[Manic]

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.

Do you mean stand-up comedians or any type of comedian? Because I can name a few hilarious female writer/actresses.

stand up comedians. Female sex jokes aren't funny

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.

lol

 

[Manic]

Taylor Swift doesn't sing. She talks in a manner that doesn't totally conflict with the melody of the music.

I agree as well. I stated this opinon many years ago and it has still held true. It seems that their main batch of jokes are about PMS and man-bashing.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I can't for the life of me understand why people like Hal Jordan. He is a card board cut out of a superhero (props to Anubis for that one!). Seriously, the most interesting thing that ever involved him was retconned. So, yea...

Richard Ryder is 10000000x the galatic cop!

What the hell is the Winter Olympics? Isn't it that thing they do take tide us over for the Summer Olympics? I wasn't paying attention, I was too busy watching basketball.

 

[ImWithTeamConan]

I agree with Ace of Knaves. Rayner's my GL. On my GL totem pole it goes Rayner, Gardner, Stewart, Ganthet, the entire cast of GLC thanks to Tomasi, Sinestro and then......Jordan.

Jeez, you don't even think that someone like Wanda Sykes is funny?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Jeez, you don't even think that someone like Wanda Sykes is funny?

Her older material is good and I like her talk show but her new stand-up is mediocre, and her last special I'ma Be Me wasn't that funny.

clothes...



what's the big deal?

I can't for the life of me understand why people love Kyle Rayner so much. He needed an entire comic continuity ruined for him to be introduced and his fans are so unable to be pleased that the only thing that seemingly could do it is the entire continuity going away again so he can be the Last of the Green Lanterns once more. And he wears a crab on his face.

 

[knowsbleed]

Better than Guy Gardner and his bowl cut.

 

[Figs]

I agree with you on a number of your rebuttals.

Canada. I'm American and have no problems with our neighbors to the north. They're also ok with me because if they want to live here they go through the proper channels and pay taxes to rightfully earn social security and health benefits.

Kindness. This we need more of in this world. I wish I was born decades earlier before '81. I'm sick and tired of people thinking having personality means being a self centered **** talking smart ass...at least at all times. I have to admit being raised by two introverted Catholics and having 4 sisters, I turned out a bit too nice but there is a level of being rude and just an overall ass hole that I won't tolerate.

Prime time TV. I try not to watch much TV but over the years Seinfeld and Frasier are two shows that kind of grew on me.


Oprah. I agree with this big time.

Female comedians. I think it's a bit ignorant to say you don't get the popularity with female comedians as CCon said but I have to admit female comedians rarely make me laugh.

Catholicism. - not as popular as Muslim

Agreed big time. I don't have any problem with non-extremist Muslims and although I was raised Catholic but don't believe in it(i'm Agnostic), I still think it's ******** that Christians and Catholics are a lot of people's hate targets now days. Every religion or even other groups have their extremists that make the rest look bad, it's entirely biased that other religions don't get as much hate though. I just don't get it really. If people dislike religion I think it's wrong to just hate on one of them and not all.

And we won the most gold medals. Just sayin'...

That bowl cut owns your soul!

 

[E-Man]

Christians and Catholics are high on the hate list because they're the most popular, especially here in the western world. They're not hated as much as they would like to think. How many "free-thinkers" are there in the world? It's a small minority raging against the Abrahamic religions, with Christianity at the forefront of the open hate. If this were the east, then Buddhism or Hinduism would probably see more hatred.

There are far more Christians hating on Islam since 9/11 though. Islam is the new "Commie" in America. There is a huge majority of Christians in the west, and just like any demographic most of them are stupid and/or ignorant. This is how dumb people say that Islam is a terrorist religion, yet they conveniently forget that Christianity a whole lot of terrible atrocities.

I look forward to the day she sings about something other than teenage drama. All her songs thus far are all practically the same thing.

Crab on his face? Niiiice

But seriously i'm not a massive fan of Kyle either. My disliking of Hal has nothing to do with any other GL, it's just... Hal. He should be called Hal Boredom.

He was a shallow boy scout with a bit of a ladies man thing about him... until Emerald Twilight where he grew as a character. Understandably going a bit potty after his entire home town was destroyed etc etc. Wanting to gain enough power to recreate it. He became a pretty good villain.

But no... all that character growth was retconned and his actions were all a parasites fault.

And Guy Gardner and his bowel cut owns everyones soul!

 

[Raiden]

Unfortunately, Grammy voters eat her angst music up and think she's a great musician, that's why she won all those awards last time.

 

[katie_girl09]

I think that's what annoys me about her. She gets all this credit for being a great songwriter. But really: is it that hard to write your own songs when you essentially write the same one over and over again?

Major difference being that those atrocities weren't committed by people that were living according to what the Bible told them, they were doing what they wanted to and attaching God's name to it...Muslim terrorists on the other hand that 'murder the infidels' are doing pretty much exactly what the Quaran tells them.
I know some very nice Muslims, but they aren't living according to what the Quaran tells them...thankfully. The extremists that refuse to be friends with anyone that's not Muslim and kill anyone that doesn't convert to it on the other hand, are.

It's rather ironic when secular people throw around their "religion kills/religion breeds hate!" assertions as though belief in any higher power is required for men to committ atrocities, or to hate. There have been plenty of them without it, and furthermore, if there is no higher power to objectively determine right for wrong, who's to say those actions were even wrong to begin with?

"I look forward to the day she sings about something other than teenage drama. All her songs thus far are all practically the same thing."

Agreed.
