Poll
Stolen from AFSB/Caribbean, but they stole it from somewhere else, so you know, fair game.
What views or opinions do you have that are unpopular, either on TK/TN or IRL?
- I don't think dollar dances are tacky. In fact, I think getting worked up over a freaking dollar is more tacky than the dance.
- I seriously and harshly judge people who use retarded or gay as an insult, to the point that I have trouble being friends with people who use it regularly. However, I usually don't say anything because I don't like making a big deal out of it. I'll correct family and close friends, but other people I'll just slowly distance myself from.
Re: Poll
I don't like retarded either. Or people slamming their arm into their chest and distorting their face as a gesture for retarded.
I don't like dollar dances, but not to the point that I'd shitmypants if I saw one at a wedding, I just wouldn't participate.
My wedding will not be a big grand thing, and I won't be posting a bajillion pics on here to be picked apart. I love you guys, so I'll post them on FB for you to pick apart, but strangers would offend me and I would get my panties in a wad, even though I know it's ridiculous.
Offensive words like slut and whore don't bother me, but what does bother me is people using the same word over and over and over and over. And over. And over.
I'm totally against the current health bill they're trying to pass.
-One of my friend's nephews asks for "girl" toys for gifts. I'm talking barbies, dolls, polly pockets, etc. I don't see anything wrong with it at all. Let him be who he wants to be. Forcing him to be a "boy" is silly and a waste of time.
H thinks I'm crazy as do my other friends. Whatever, I don't care much.
Also: a good rule of thumb for IRL people is, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."
This includes but is not limited to steering clear of offensive jokes with people you don't know well enough to know they'll find it funny.
-- i really, really hate it when people ask "what is the best cookware?" if you have to ask, you don't need it. it's not a magic wand -- your taco mac isn't going to taste any better coming out of a $365 copper sautese than it is coming out of a $25 lodge pan.
-- i judge all of ei and any recipe that includes pillsbury crescent rolls. this is why the french hate us -- they share croissants with the world, and we put it in a pressurized can.
-- i hate most people's nurseries. people put more time and energy into that than the actual parenting.
-- i got really irritated over vacation when i saw women waiting in line for the bathroom with 3-4 children. what kind of winner did these women marry that dad can't take at least one kid to the bathroom? and this is disneyworld -- the one safe place to leave your stroller where no one will take it. i saw people leave diaper bags, purchases, coats and hat in their stroller.
- I'm Yay for the Gay, but I'm the only one in my family who thinks this way. Same goes for my political affiliation. There were several times over the holidays when I had to leave the room so I wouldn't smack someone upside the head.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
Ditto.
Same here. My mom tried to cut my gay BFF from the guest list at my wedding. She'd have *** herself if he'd brought a date.
Also, they blame me for Obama.
I love Disney World.
I hate cheese.
My brain is mush from work at the moment, so I can't think of any interesting ones.
This this this. I get horribly upset over animals but 'meh' over humans. I am disappointed in the human race and hope for some kind of revolution some day. Maybe animals will revolt. Maybe the earth will wipe us out. Even thru my disgust I still live by the golden rule and just get even more disappointed every day when so many others don't.
I love disneyland too.
And I also think Dollar dances are cute. Always have, always will. I AM like .0052% polish, though.
I'm pretty sure my opinions are the unpopular ones 9 out of 10 times.
i don't get the bfd over "your bridesmaids' only obligation is to buy a dress and show up." okay, good theory.
however, these people are your friends and family (probably). they probably help you out on a daily basis in your regular life when they want to and they have time and also because they tolerate/like/love you; why wouldn't they want to help you with your wedding?
obviously, you don't demand their help, unless you're a total db, but really, i don't think it's that out of line to expect it.
I refuse to "friend" my mom on FB because I've always had privacy issues with her. This is the woman who would remove my bedroom door when I was a teenager if I kept it shut longer than it took to change my clothes. Literally took it off the hinges. I know that if I friended her on FB, she'd be all up in YOU GUYS' business, trying to figure out who you were, how you knew me, and then she'd give ME the third degree about who you are and how I know you.
I wish I could trust her (also be remembering that she hacks into my Grandma's email), but I just can't.
Wow. BFF attended my wedding with a date and my parents didn't bat an eyelash. That doesn't mean they're YAY for GAY. They definitely have their opinions about homosexuality and gay marriage, but that didn't stop them from forming parental type bond for BFF. Especially after BFF's parents reacted so badly to his coming out.
DH's family baffles me with their beliefs. MIL's twin sister is a lesbian and has been in a long-term relationship for years and they have a daughter together. Yet MIL is this ridiculous religious conservative. It's stupid.
I'm getting judgy about people and giving birth. Also this couple on A Baby Story is really ugly and fat, and I don't think they should have kids. They look obnoxious.
I use the word gaytarded. So there.
I don't give a fluck about Haiti or any other 3rd world country hit with a natural disaster. It was a schithole before, and guess what... it still is.
Some of you are too puppies and rainbows for me. And most of you make decisions I judge secretly, but go ahead w/your bad self.
I bore myself, so I'm kind of okay w/partially GBCNing.
I didn't think you were too secretive about it.
