Let's make it a good one!

I'm so bored today. Let's stir up some drama today!! Lol

I'll go first. I don't think Channing Tatum is attractive. Like, at all. Incredibly talented. I like him as a person. But his face and body do absolutely nothing for me.

Schell2013

I find all vampire shows extremely stupid. I don't like any of them. I would rather chew my right arm off than watch Vampire diaries and twilight. 

CopperBoom86

@krzyriver - I agree about Channing Tatum. For me, his face and body are fine, but he seems dumb. Intelligence is a huge turn on for me, so yeah, nothing for him.

agreed re: intelligence being a huge turn on. I seriously love how smart and handy DH is. 

That said... I just look at CT's body and try not to think about what's going on in that silly little head of his lol

The only vampire show I can do is Vampire Diaries... such a guilty pleasure. I think it's because of Ian Somerhalder. Typically they're not my jam though.

I agree about Channing Tatum. And for the life of me I can't bring myself to watch Magic Mike. 

Mine just happened recently so I thought it would be relevant: I honestly don't know why I feel this way, but I think it's a little condescending when someone says they are proud of you for having a baby. It just instantly turns me off. Backstory: 2 coworkers who were due a week apart ended up having their sons a day apart. Coworker 1 is a third time mom and coworker 2 is a ftm. After they both posted announcing the births, coworker 1 put a photo of both boys with a caption that was like future bffs, (coworker 2's name) I am so proud of you. It made me angry. 

To be fair, it might be because coworker 1 rubs me the wrong way to begin with. There were 9 pregnancies this year in our school and out of the 9, 3 of them decided not to find out the sex of the baby but only coworker 1 kept bringing it up and 'teasing' people about it. I really wanted to say 'no one cares!!!' But of course, as we know, people weirdly do care...

I think Donald Trump is exactly what this country needs.

ingoscj

@maf9866 I think you are missing out by not watching Magic Mike. the choreography is spectacular! 

@AllyTheKid Why? Why does this country need a racist sexist narcissist in charge? 

westcoastfoodie

@AllyTheKid you're just trying to stir the pot, right?

krzyriver

@CopperBoom86 I never noticed that about him. I don't tend to pay much attention to people's intelligence levels. Lol

@Schell2013 Vampire shows are WAY overdone. But there are some good ones. I still love Buffy and Angel. 

@AllyTheKid Is this cause I asked for drama? Lol

amye102485

Channing Tatum is blah. I never understood the obsession. Also, vampire shows make me cringe, so I agree with those!

I want to vote for someone else. Can we get a do over in the primaries? 

mothernorth

I'm 5 billion% pot stirring, I have spoken out against Trump many times on here, and I can't run with this joke any longer without killing myself. I let it run as long as I could stomach.

Exactly. I guess my UO could be that my beliefs, for the most part, align with those of the republican party. 

HOWEVER, I will NOT be voting for Trump. I will also NOT be voting for Hilary, for that matter. I can't vote for either with a clear conscience. I've voted in every election I could since I was legally allowed to, but this year, I might just have to break that streak. 

mothernorth

@CopperBoom86 Don't NOT vote. Just don't vote for them.

Yeah, I probably will end up voting. But really, what's the point?

Because you guys not voting is two less voices for somebody other than Trump or Clinton.

ibabyloveb87

@CopperBoom86 There's always the write-in option. Or vote Libertarian which is probably what I will do because I'm in the same boat as you. I can't decide which is worse really.

I know, I know. But it just feels hopeless.... much like the future of this nation. 

Schell2013

Good thing for the Internet guys cause Trumps gonna build a wall to separate Canadians. The Internet will be the only way we can keep contact! Honestly our prime minister sucks balls too to be entirely honest. I actually think I would rather have trump than this inexperienced debt creating mutt.

I try to be optimistic and think even if one of them are elected, the LONGEST they'll be in office (assuming they aren't impeached before then) is 2 terms. 
If Germany can recover from Hitler, the US can recover from these yahoos.

Fingers crossed we can. Lol. I try to be optimistic, but mostly I just keep wishing it's all a bad dream and I'll wake up soon. I wish Biden had run. I'd have voted for him.

@brzvice ... BURN THE WITCH!

amye102485

@brzvice But it's bacon! How? Why?

maf9866

@brzvice I swear I almost posted the same thing today!! I hate bacon. 

samkins

I HATE bacon and my hubby owes me big time when I cook it for him b/c it stinks up the house, yuck! 

coffee89

@samkins @brzvice I don't really like bacon. Rarely I'll have it on a sandwich but I don't understand the obsession people have.

@CopperBoom86 Vote for a third party. the more attention and votes they get, the more funding they get. It's better to go and vote third party (and on your local issues) than to not vote or just pick the lesser or two evils.

LMNOBaby

I say we write in Channing Tatum for third party candidate! 

ignoscemihi

@CopperBoom86 If you're socially liberal and fiscally conservative, you might want to look at Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate.  I personally think he's insane, but I'm very liberal and like things like the Department of Education.

This has been my UO before, but I'm looking forward to voting for Hillary Clinton this election.  I think she's pragmatic, diplomatic and intelligent.  She is a person who would be able to get things done.  She's a little hawkish for my tastes, but not so much that I'm afraid she'll get our country into unnecessary wars.  And it would be pretty great if my children grew up not remembering a time when we had never had a female president. 

krzyriver

@ignoscemihi I think Clinton is the lesser of two evils and will most likely vote for her. However, as a feminist, I'm NOT happy that she could be our first female president. I'd rather wait and pop that cherry with someone who deserves it. Lol

krzyriver

I finally remembered the UO I meant to post weeks ago: I do NOT think that videos of bratty kids are funny. 

My middle name is Linda, so whenever my husband wants to tease me he goes "Listen Linda. Listen Linda!" like that little boy from that viral video. And I HATE it. He may have been too young to realize why he was being disrespectful, but he's old enough to know that mommy pulled out her phone and started recording him. People need to put their phones down and teach their kids respect. There is nothing funny about a lippy child. It's obnoxious, and if you don't stop it when it starts, you'll never be able to get your kids to speak respectfully to you. I've seen it happen dozens of times. 

blaf322

@krzyriver.. I could not agree more! What do these people think they are teaching their kids?!

Also, I dislike that video of that little girl telling her mom that she and her ex husband (the little girl's dad) need to just get along and be kind to each other. That isn't something you pick up and record then share... and should also be a rude awakening to those parents that they are putting way too much on that little girl's shoulders. Kids that age shouldn't be able to or have to have that kind of conversation with a parent
