It was a good word before Stephanie Meyer used it.

see? it's such a simle combination of two often used words that i don't feel comfortable saying anymore. Whoever came up with that is the biggest prick ever.
I don't know... Believe by Cher is a pretty good song.miracleofsound said:Yoko.

Beat that.
I am, then, in the minority, as I have read the books for myself and been disgusted on my own terms. Some of us don't just hate it because it's 'the in thing to do' (I also didn't jump on the bandwagon when Halo was the internet's cannon fodder).ansem1532 said:This is where I must seriously label you dead wrong.Ohten said:Most people hate Twilight for one very, incredibly simple reason.

Twilight is the hyped thing to hate today. I guarantee you most, if not 60%, of those goddamned haters are just following the crowd, and god forbid, read the book.
If one celebrity started a chain of people saying "Oh yes, Harry Potter is worst book ever written." It's safe to say many would follow.
Before you ask, am I a fan?
No, not really. Love stories with vampire and werewolves don't interest me to much of an extent.
No one should be proud to be a Tory. The word means 'Robber' in old English. There is a reason they are called Torys by others. Cause they are a bunch of right wing xenophobic thieves, who for some reason think that being poor is a persons own fault.Trivun said:Oh yes indeed, I'm a Tory and proud. My house is occasionally pretty full of politics though, as one of my housemates is (I think) vice president of the university Labour Society and is very political with regards to New Labour, and another housemate writes for the student newspaper so is naturally clued up on politics. Our landlord is also a Tory who apparently invited Margaret Thatcher to his wedding (she didn't go but her office allegedly sent a nice letter of apology back which she signed).Furburt said:Do I smell a conservative?Trivun said:Anyway, I'd say that Gordon Brown managed to ruin British politics for everyone. He gives massive amounts of power to the Scottish and pretty much lets them have independence all but officially, and he sells us all out to the EU. No wonder us students have such a reputation for being apathetic, when politicians like this make us all so disillusioned with the current system...
Yes, nobody called them shooty funsticks after that.-Orgasmatron- said:That bloke who shot up a primary school in the 90s ruined guns for us Brits.
And I still call guns shooty funsticks, they are after all
You are so evil. Twilight means the same still anyway. Though most do think of the books and movie but tough. I happen to love the word and the actual time of day when Twilight strikes. Perfect setting on a clear night.Studoku said:The word 'Twilight'.

You are dead. Wrong. Quoted from my favorite place; "Because it's indicative of a pattern in society to idealize unhealthy and abusive relationships. This book teaches our generation that abusive relationships are okay-- no, ROMANTIC, even. Not only is this book a moral threat to our youth, but an assault on literature itself. It's unoriginal, amateur, openly abusive, and dare I say it, sexist."ansem1532 said:This is where I must seriously label you dead wrong.Ohten said:Most people hate Twilight for one very, incredibly simple reason.

Jonas Bros? Really, people? They're just a generic pop-rock band like so many others that have come and gone over the years. They write music that's upbeat and catchy, though I consider it a bit soulless. I think all you guys complaining about Jonas, Stephanie Meyer, etc. need to get your heads out of your arses and realize that there is always dumb generic pop culture (yes, that may be redundant). It's not going to go away, so just ignore it instead of wasting your energy trying to bring it down, cause your voice is going to be pretty much ignored by the masses who follow the trends.PyramidHead said:Lullabye said:The Game.

FFFFUUUUUU-
I lost ;_;
OT: Jonas Brothers ruined what used to be Rock, now my little sister thinks she's hardcore, but if I show her AC/DC she's all "ewwww".
and I'm counting The Jonas' as a hive mind so they are one person.
No it is not. All you are doing is name dropping and it will not invalidate my point that Whedon made it popular.nezroy said:I think Anne Rice, Bram Stoker, Francis Ford Coppola, Joel Schumacher, Mark Rein-Hagen, Eric Brooks, and possibly the entire 80s goth subculture (so I guess Hot Topic, is what I'm saying) would all disagree with that statement.malestrithe said:[Now back on topic, I hate Joss Whedon for starting the popularity of modern day Vampires. Because of his creation, Buffy, things like Twilight, the Vampire Diaries, and the other derivative works, are mainstream.
