Have you ever noted none of us here are "normal"

"So it seems that because of every syndrome and disorder we've invented in the past twenty years, the Los Angeles Times stated that 63% of American families are now considered dysfunctional. My God! That means we're the majority. We're normal! It's the people who have the mommy, the daddy, the brother, the sister, the little white picket fence... those people are the freaks, man!"

You can hardly say people are normal based on their favourite beer or soda. Also if people don't drink Budweiser here, then that's probably partially because there are a lot of us who aren't American so it's not the most common beer, part because some of us have a refined taste and have tried a lot of different kinds of beer and probably because Budweiser is an abomination to all kinds of beer and should never be considered as beer. Ever.
No-one's normal, and everyone are unique in their own way. That's not some philosophical bullshit like some of my "normal" friends would tell me, it's just common sense. "Normality" is only defined by certain social and/or cultural standards anyway; i.e. it's entirely subjective.
Internet forums (especially here) seem to attract a certain type of person, that tends to dislike the mainstream. Personally? I like coke and I like Budweiser, but I prefer Dr Pepper and Corona (for the same kind of thing as Budweiser, I'm not really sure what my favourite alcoholic drink is). I don't have anything against people being different, but it I find it a little annoying when people are trying too hard to be different or are unnecessarily harsh on something for being popular.
I hate beer and, strongly dislike the effects of alcohol. As for Coke it's Vanilla, Cherry then, Classic (WHY DID THEY CANCEL BLAK!?)
There's really no such thing as normal when applied to people as a collective especially since 'normal' changes every few decades. Back in the 90's it was normal for kids to go to school without cell phones after all and now it's considered weird if a kid doesn't have one by middle school.

That's a pet peeve of mine, though fortunately it rarely happens outside of an ironic/jocular context. But when it does, it's worse than a god damn solipsism...sextus the crazy said:
OT: Well, I would consider myself somewhat normal, though I'd also say I'm interesting, so "normal" in this context possibly means I've just got most of the irritating kinks worked out of my personality, leaving only the generally acceptable, and the downright awesome? (I am aware of flaws, it's just I always try to correct them, and then wait for the next to surface, which it always does). Recent revelations do, however, lead me to believe I'm a far more complex individual than I could ever have imagined.
I'm a very well adjusted sociopath would be the most simplified way of putting it.
This. I hate beer. It's really weird, I tried drinking beer, and it was the most horrible thing ever. Then I had some Cider, and it was good...Hazy992 said:
Then I had some beer, after having some cider, and it was slightly better.
After reading that, I've realised why.
And I'm an idiot.
Canadian Mist whiskey and diet 7up is my drink of choice. I can't stand beer and have tried a wide variety, they all have some taste that just makes my stomach churn. People I know say that I should try German beer cause it is a lot better so I may do that next time I get the chance.
I beg to differ, I personally set the standards for what is normal around here, and those standards are all based on my glorious self. I'm just having difficulty getting everyone else to comply, that's all.
In all seriousness, why would "normal" behavior include drink choices?

I'm personally partial to Mike's Wine Coolers, and orange crush pop. MMMMMMMMMMM drinks.
As for normality it is either overrated or does not exist. I haven't quite figured out which.

But, if everyone here is abnormal, then everyone here is the same and thus normal.
I don't really feel like I have much in common with the majority of people that frequent this site, so does that make me normal or abnormal, never-mind it doesn't matter?
