I'm not a fan of Claudia Schiffer's look. Her mouth bugs me. She has a really bad smile and teeth.

I remember I was supposed to be turned on by her even before I knew whom she was or what being turned on meant.

I think it's a good thing for an employee (or student, or whoever is in a shift-long position) to take a nap on a break. It boosts energy, clears your head, and all it takes is 15-20 minutes for one REM cycle.

If I recall correctly, there was a university (can't remember which country it was in) that did a study on this. The researchers confirmed that workers who had a one hour nap in the middle of the day were more productive than those who didn't take a nap. It's not that surprising, considering a lot of people probably don't get enough sleep as it is.

Political ones:

Lately I've been more and more unhappy with feminists, specifically the ones who live in first world countries and complain about the most pathetic things! Women are not weak babies and I'm tired of it. But I don't really like "anti-feminists" either.

Related to that I think either BOTH men and women should have to sign up for the draft, or neither. Personally I think neither is best, I think the draft shouldn't exist. But if we can't get rid of the draft then we need to make things equal by having both genders sign up.

Sexuality and gender are not a "choice" and people need to stop treating it like some label-yourself-with-the-most-unique-terms game. There's also such thing as "not conforming to gender roles" that means if a boy likes dresses it doesn't mean he's a girl! And the same if a girl likes to have short hair and make-up it doesn't mean she's a boy! Being transgender is when you have dysphoria, not when you reject gender roles. (that's a simplified version of it at least)

White people wearing dreads or talking in slang is not cultural appropriation. If a white person grew up in an area with mostly black people, why WOULDN'T they end up with the same speech habits? I think people are going too far and being "offended on the behalf of others" and are instead being disrespectful themselves. We need to fight real cultural appropriation (which is when people are being disrespectful and insulting another culture) and not fight cultural appreciation and sharing (which is not disrespectful and is actually encouraged by most cultures).

Another ones that people on this site might not like is that I don't agree with self diagnosis. I see too many teenagers pretending to have autism to look cool or quirky or cute. They do this with other things like mental illness or disabilities. Right now borderline personality disorder is very "trendy" for teenagers to self diagnose, even though personality disorders are not diagnosed when someone is under 18 for many reasons (except in very rare special cases). I think it's very insulting to turn something people struggle with into some trivial accessory you can take on and off when convenient. I will say that I think self diagnosis is ok sometimes, and I'm not going to go around telling people "you don't really have that" or anything silly.

Non-political and more silly ones:

I don't understand why people think sex is so important or a "need". I see people get depressed because they can't have sex, and it makes no sense to me because you don't need it! Same goes for masturbation, what is the obsession? I think people over-hype it all and treat it too seriously. I also hate it when people act like they can't control themselves over it, because yes you can unless you have a medical disorder! There are so many other things to do, but everyone seems to hold sex as the most important activity in the world. I know that my opinion on this subject is extremely unpopular for most people, so I've accepted that I'll never understand lol!

The obsession with sports. People can act crazy and obsessive and destroy things and hurt people over sports, yet when someone does it over another hobby it's seen as dumb or overreacting. Also why is sports of all things the go-to obsession of the majority of the population? It would be less annoying if it wasn't so popular. I also think it's kind of funny how much America loves sports, yet the population is obese and overweight! You can tell people that sports or music is important to you and your life, but if you say something like video games are important they think you're a freak!

The recent trend in "fat positivity" has turned into "shame and attack anyone who isn't fat enough to be part of the club". Being fat doesn't make you oppressed, both overweight and underweight people have problems in life and we should accept everyone. This is totally a first world problem.

Bacon or tacos or any other popular food- you're not cute for acting like a freak whenever someone mentions these foods. "OMG BACON XD" or "OMG HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE TACOS" so annoying! It's not a big deal, I think those foods taste fine but they aren't my favorite and I don't always want to eat them. Also putting bacon on everything is very unhealthy. I hate it when certain foods turn into "memes" if you can even call it that.

Oh also I don't like those "SJW" type people. Stop bringing politics and keyboard-activism into conversations! I just want to talk about my interests and hobbies!

i think that the current gay and transsexual thing is a development outside of my time to live.
it seems like even the most intelligent of the science fiction writers of the past could not have foreseen the demise of sexual identity as it has transpired. not even orwell.
i can not see it as biologically logical for 2 of the same gender to waste their copulative juices on each other.
some people say that some animals also exhibit homosexual behavior.
but i say that they may resort to same sex release if they are deprived of opposite sex release.
i do not think any animal in the world except for humans is more attracted to their own gender than to their biologically correct opposite genders.

this transgender toilet thing and the blue/pink scandal and the decision that "ladies and gentlemen" is offensive is truly another reason i consider people to be inconsequential to my own mind.

Most human beings are driven by emotions rather than logic, myself included. I do tend towards logic more than the average person, but I am still largely driven by my emotions.

People who are unsympathetic are disgusting and shallow. They should always be avoided.

A lot of people I know really like Minecraft, but I personally don't see what the appeal of it is.

And here I thought I was the only one.

Me, I don't get why people are so obsessed with superheroes. Or sports. Or vehicle brands. Or most of the other things "normal" people are allowed to fanboy over. I just don't get them.

This is gonna sound horrible, but here it goes.

Socio-Economic Genocide

I think the rich will drain every last dollar and penny from the American citizens and then one of two things will happen.

1. They shut everything down and leave the country to live with their profit havens offshore while the people of the United States are forced to survive without money, shelter, food, water, a decent government, etc. Slaves to a debt that isn't completely theirs.

2. They kill everyone off and have the country to themselves. The holocaust will look like a summer camp compared to what's in store for the people. Survivors will be servants, reeducated, hopeless, and broken willed.

Right now, the current situation is the rich are making their survival come first by hogging all the wealth and the best financial security and healthcare. Meanwhile, they use the government to push our nation's "Wild West Mentality" up to unnecessary levels of biased unfairness on all non-wealthy people. The biggest scam of all time has yet to come.

Never heard of that. I'm not big into music.

Good for you! :o

I once heard this dubstep remix of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" when I was at this ziplining tourist attraction in BC, and it pissed me off so much. Way to desecrate a classic. Then again, I believe it was sort of trying to be a self-concious critique of grunge music, so who knows what Kurt would've thought of the remix.


I am the opposite.

I collect cover versions of "Smells Like Teen Spirit".

Tori Amos did a very VERY VERY subdued soft rock version (Kurt himself gave her version some faint praise).

Abigail Van Ziga did several high energy techno mixes of her version of his song with a girl (Ziga herself) as the lead singer. I like her versions.

But my favorite cover version is probably that by Paul Anka who did a good swinging jazzy big band version of it.
Quite mindbending to hear.
