So...TV Commercials

And I don't. This is (for me) less of an indictment of how people choose to live their lives and more one where I despise another entity (in this case, the media and advertising) trying to foist on me their views as a means by which to cause me to change my thinking. I really do think there is an attitude of "we think this is right and you should too, or you're just not enlightened." Especially when those views are not truly representative of what really exists in this country.

Take the Jenner situation as an example. This passed from wanting to live your life as a woman long ago and has now turned into a publicity circus. Do I care what Jenner does? Nope. Is Jenner a hero? Not on your life. Is Jenner entitled to live Jenner's life as Jenner see's fit? Yup. Does Jenner have the right to stick it in our faces 24/7? Yes. If he would have simply gone on with his life after the change, I'd respect that. But he chose to turn it into a circus. So fuck him and his gnarly snatch.


I wish. This was pre-cell phone era dating.

Gays don't bother me, mixed couples...no impact. What bothers me is the slimy way that everything we see is manipulated. Let change happen organically. Survival of the fittest etc. If it is to be, it will be. I don't need my TV, Internet, Movies, Music, etc. all bent and twisted so I will get some message out of it. Leave it the hell alone. Be creative in the story lines. The killer doesn't have to be gay, and shouldn't NOT be gay. If it brings nothing to the story, it has ZERO importance...as it should.

Change your thinking from what to what?

I really do think there is an attitude of "we think this is right and you should too, or you're just not enlightened." Especially when those views are not truly representative of what really exists in this country.

What is 'right?' Hetero only?

I do agree with the "you should too, or you're just not enlightened" sentiment. It's the same shit you see all over; I can't be right YOU have to be proven wrong.

I don't care who the male dick lickers and the female carpet munchers do "their thing" with just keep it out of my face. That goes for in person or on the tube.

what happened to the idea of "private life"? you know, what you do when you are not in public?

i don't care what you are wearing, what you are having for dinner (unless i'm invited, then i have a stake in the matter), what you read or watch, who you roll in the hay with.

just get up in the morning, shower and shave, get dressed, and go about your public life. go home and knock yourself out. but there is no need to broadcast all the icky details behind the front door. it's a door, close it. keep everyone out.

Let me put it another way: I don't need any outside influences to tell me what the "right" opinion should be, whatever that is. I can make up my own mind.

"Right" is different for everyone. I just don't care what someone else's "right" is.

I should TIVO everything.

I think there's a certain amount of validity to this. Do your thing, whatever it may be. Just don't act as though I should be so excited as to want to celebrate your differences (e.g. Jenner) or want to be any more exposed to it than is unavoidable.

You're no longer allowed to be passive in your acceptance of alternative lifestyles. The expectation these days is you applaud and endorse them. Fuck that. Bitches best be applauding when the helmet breaks the plane of the bung.

Dont think it is or every has happened in the Middle East wars.

But remember the immigrants who came to America as well.

Pretty sure everybody looked at those war time marriages as questionable and ill advised. I guess its a shame their grandchildren and children don't see it the same way anymore.

My Mother is from Mexico, but looks Oriental due to her pale skin. I remember seeing prejudice and hate from many older Americans towards my parents back then - because they thought she was a Korean war bride. As an adult I still have experienced this with others just looking at photos of them together.

I personally think that a black - white marriage creates very beautiful people.

(If you have to look at it as an issue think of it like the Vikings did. They impregnanted every viable female they could at the time to bring their cultural (and genes) into the lands they pilaged. It doenst get mentioned as much, but they also enslaved the pregant to raise their offspring as Vikings or justed killed them right then. Maybe those white men and women are just descendents of Vikings. )

For one reason, ME females fukking stink. Imagine being in 100+ temps and walking by a well used Port-O-Potty. Now imagine walking down wind from one of those ninja babes. There is no difference. There are plenty of male American GIs that given an opportunity just will not dip their wang in that melting pot of, to quote Fred G Sanford, "Fungus is amongus". Now don't get me wrong, there are some babes that dress normal in UAE, for example. But when you see "Cousin It" dressed in all black, the time to GTFO and upwind is upon you.

One of the worst on that is Fakebook......damn mess, really....maybe 1/2 dzn groups and my kids/grandkids.....I would never bother to be on there....

I click on 'home' there, and 1/2 the search list is lawyers about the J&J physio mesh claims.....I have a tummy mesh surgical issue and lots of pain and discomfort.....and the medical types just palm it off....but what with the .gov cancelling our medical coverage, we just don't have so much bucks to be chasing doctors over it.....

Amazon is bad. If I look at something on Amazon, I swear it comes out printed on my toilet paper later that day. It's crazy.

Cheerios commercial featuring interracial family draws harsh comments - YouTube

Seems like they intensified markedly following the highly-maligned Cheerios mixed race TV spots.

Isn't there a recall on one of those mesh products? I think I've seen commercials on TV about it. And there were white people in the commercials, so you might qualify.

As for insurance, aren't you on medicare?

They are going after the anti-hypertension drug "Benicar" too. I've seen several TV commercials about it.
