What Do You Think Is Overrated? #2

Forever More;:

Religion

I'm offended.

And if you're going to tell me that you actually meant "people using religion as an excuse for hate" or "religious bigots," I hope you make that clear next time.

Getting reeeally drunk. I can't fucking understand it. I like to get 'drunk,' somewhat, to have fun and feel better than I would have completely sober. But I don't understand why anyone would choose to drink to the point of blacking out, puking, or having an awful hangover. just... really?

Yes. Even if they, for some reason, like that, don't be so proud an bragging about it, and put it on your fb status and stuff. What, do they want us to say "oh, how rebellious/edgy/hard they are"? Usually, I just say "twat"

Sexting.

Getting out of bed.

I don't understand how that's overrated.

I like to sleep.

I mean come on, there are other characters.

Dita Von Teese.:

Buying things to wear them once and expensive designer stuff.

Or, just buying really expensive things and never once wearing them.

Facebook.

lol ikr.

Saying you don't believe in love.
So, what, you don't love your friends, your family? And I think it's pretty damn difficult to not believe in romantic love, just because it hasn't happened to you yet.

Agreed.

Making people feel bad because of what they believe.

Why does it matter if the person believes in aliens, god or nothing at all, not even love? If you don't agree then leave them to it. They're not gonna change their beliefs just because of you or anybody else anyway. Who are you to say that what you believe in is the right way for everybody?

I'm not trying to start an argument but to be honest, it's not that I'm saying not believing or believing in love is right or wrong, I just personally don't understand how somebody can say that they don't believe in love at all. I understand if somebody says they don't personally believe in it when it's concerning their own life, but when you say you 'Don't believe in love' as a whole, isn't that just belittling people who say they are in love and really, truly mean it? I mean, I can't think of ways to describe people who have been together for years and years, and can't imagine being with anybody else in any other way but it being love. (I'm just using that as an example, obviously.)

I think the Alice books are over-rated from one point of view. The Hot-Topic-Alice-in-Wonderland-shirts-look-so-cool one, at least. I've recently read a book (The New York Trilogy by Paul Auster, if anybody's interested) in which the Humpy Dumpy story plays a part. I love how the stories are so quirky and weird, you can make them out in quirky and weird interpretations, but there's something distasteful in wearing Alice in Wonderland shirts and watching the movies more often than reading the books and generally being such a big fan of Wonderland-associated things that Alice herself is no longer the center of your interest.

I think it depends on whether what they believe is factually and/or morally wrong.

If someone believes that the earth is flat - well, um, LOL - or that gay people are inferior to everyone else, I will not hesitate to call them out on their homophobia.

Isa made me think of how much homophobia is overrated. As well as hypocrisy.

Feeling the need to be perfect or to always excell.
I hate it.

Katie-bloody-Price. I swear; if I see another program on TV about "what she did next" I'll fucking scream. The fact that anyone gives a fuck about her apparently-oh-so-difficult life and doesn't concentrate on more important people like the people defending our countries and saving our lives, frankly, worries me.
