You don't have to answer the phone just because it's ringing. If you're expecting an important call, fine. This goes for cell phones, this goes for home phones. We all have voicemail or an answering machine. It's not that important, and it's rude for someone who's in your home or your car to have to stop what they're saying just because someone is calling you.
- BWW is often a cold yet strangely addictive site.
- It's okay for bi and gay people to fiercely pursue straight people in the hopes that they'll 'awaken' something in them.
- Titanic (1997) was a great film.
- Anyone who doesn't think Mommie Dearest is funny is uneducated about how to view a film as a construction. There are many things funny about the film besides the abuse.
- Johnny Depp should've gotten an Oscar nod for Cry-Baby and not for any of his other films.
- Horror movies are almost always funny.
- Most people are better off alone than in relationships.
- Marriage is stupid.
EvelynNesbit is my new best friend.
I, too, hate beer. I will never like the way it tastes.
I actually haven't even found a wine I like.

I don't have favorite female movie actress - under 50.
I love beetroot ( I could eat every day)
I think the movie "Mixed Nuts" was a better Xmas movie than Home alone 1-2-3 etc.
Watching a film solely for its nudity is perfectly acceptable.

Ah, and I hate most hip-hop because just when you start thinking it sounds good, you hear the mysogynistic lyrics. Joy.
I don't care about Madonna. I don't care about American Idol, Marry Your Father Off to a Midget, or any other "reality" show. I don't like or care about Idina Menzel. Same goes for Patti LuPone. Audra McDonald does not rock my world. And since this is veering dangerously on-topic...
Johnny Depp isn't sexy, cute, or otherwise attractive in any way. And I don't think the TV version of Angels in America was a masterpiece.
Phew.
- It's bizarre that tiny little cars and big eighteen-wheeler trucks are allowed to share the road.
- The one thing people will surely view as archaic about our country 150 years from now is not the popular support for Bush, but rather our casual attitudes about death in (air, road or rail) accidents.
I liked...nay, loved....
......
...Glitter.
You can't be pro-life and pro-death-penalty. It just doesn't work. If human life is sacred, then ALL human life is sacred.
There are about two billion people too many on this flying mudball, and people need to stop reproducing for about forty years, or relocate enormous chunks of the human population to Upper Canada, Russia, and Middle America...and then stop reproducing for only twenty years.
Amen, which goes back to my bird flu comment.
And to parents: 99 out of 100 times, your children are not cute. They are filthy and annoying, and I don't want to look at pictures of them nor be around them. I don't want to buy their school candy -- I pay school taxes, and that's enough. And for God's sake, please don't put them on your outgoing voicemail message. I don't want to hear some brat lisp his way through "Leave a message after the beep" for five minutes before I can leave the damn message.

If you're not sharing with anyone, it's okay to drink milk or orange juice straight from the carton.
I thought Garden State was vastly overrated.
I think Julianne Moore is vastly overrated. **cringes**
I thought Hunchback of Notre Dame was one of Disney's best animated features of all time.
I think Lane on Gilmore Girls is the show's weak link. She and her band are not funny or interesting and her storylines with her mom are offensive. I wish they'd write her off.
Another Gilmore Girls complaint -The man who plays TJ is an awful actor and has never made me laugh.
I think Kristin Kreuk is so pretty, she's almost creepy looking. I know that doesn't make sense. I can't explain it.
I actually own Tamyra Gray's album and think it's pretty darn good.
I lost interest in The Simpsons after season one.
I actually like Russell Crowe's acting but I don't think he's remotely good looking and can't understand when he's described as a heartthrob.
It annoys me when people say Paris Hilton is pretty. Being famous does not equal being beautiful. She's not pretty. At all. Not even the slightest.
That's all for now.

I am shockingly uncomfortable around children, and would just prefer that they never be seen in public.
Or heard.
Or smelt.
This is my favorite thread ever! And EvelynNesbit, I agree with everything you've said, AND you get bonus cool points for your name.
I'll argue that one with you sometime, CostumeMistress, but not tonight. And not in this thread.
I hate sushi and suspect that most people just pretend to like it. Raw fish, indeed. And I don't believe in eating anything that can be transplanted, either.
I genuinely feel sorry for people who are married with children. You could be spending your income on island-hopping in Greece, rather than buying diapers at Wal-Mart.
(ETA: I really do like sushi!)
- I think it's screwed up that people automatically assume that because someone went to a university that's in the U.S. News top fifteen, s/he is necessarily a genius or a great person to work with...
- I graduated from Northwestern University and mostly hated it.
- I prefer to hire people who attended second tier schools.
The answering the phone one, or the pro-life one, iflit?
And... that's why they're called unpopular opinions!

As I express my unpopulat opionion; lets remember that opinions are not right or wrong. You may feel differently about something, however, there should be respect.
I think sex should be saved for marriage or, in a gay relationship if marriage is not an option, I think sex should be witheld until there is some kind of vow and all parties of each family know.
Most straight men really *can* be had if they're drunk enough.
Yeah I put up an ad on craigslist-miscellaneous romance one day and was surprised that half of the men contacting me were either married to a woman or didn't identify as gay or bi at all.
I'm against the death penalty, but for capital punishment when it fits the crime. Example: Child molestors should have their balls chewed off by rabid dogs.
People that are disgusted by children haven't spent enough time with them. The good definitely outweighs the bad.
The prolife one, CostumeMistress. I have absolutely NO problem not answering the phone. In fact, if this was a confession thread, I'd have to admit that once I didn't take my messages off of voice mail at work for an entire week. (It turns out that if you wait long enough, everyone just calls back...)
Oh, and I like Jose.
