Me, I'm 72 which puts me right into the demographic which loved the Beatles. I don't love the Beatles, never did. I'm not sure they were even the best band out of Liverpool, let alone the whole of England. Give me the Stones or the Yardbirds- hell, even the Kinks.

So what's wrong with you?

I'm 59, and there are many things wrong with me.

1. I have no interest in entertainment competition shows such as American Idol
2. I think the income of people who are famous for being famous should be taxed at a rate of 99.5%. The entire Kardasian clan should be living a trailer.
3. I think Howard Stern was and is a phony. He built his career knocking celeb culture and going after anyone he thought was celebrity schmoozer calling them "phonies" only to become a celebrity schmoozer fully engaged in celeb culture.
4. While there was some great music, bands and artists in the 60's, there was also a lot of bad music and a lot of stuff that didn't age well. As a decade, it was no better than the 70's and 80's. Musically, Woodstock is overrated.
5. The more I watch replays of football games from the 70's, the more I appreciate the modern game. I want to like the ground game centric brand of football, but it's boring.

I have a somewhat different view of the Kardashians and I admit I have never watched their shows and really know very little about them. But they found a niche to become ridiculously wealthy without hurting anyone or even becoming controversial (as near as I can tell). In particular I give a lot of credit to Kim and respectfully suggest she is a lot smarter than all of the great policy making advocates and political class. Case in point, she was a crusader to get a specific individual released from prison. She worked with the previous administration to make it happen, even though it would seem she disagreed with that administration on most issues. But IMHO she was smart enough to take the position that she believed in her cause, and if others were willing to work with her to achieve her goals, she was going to work with those people. Conversely there are many, if not most, in Washington who refuse to work with the "opposition" even on issues of mutual interest out of fear that the other guy might get credit.

Nicely stated. With that stated you can have her, her mother, her sisters and Bruce.
I can't stand them. They are trash. If people want to look up to them then go right ahead.

After some serious thought, the only things I could come up with are:

I hate partisan politics

I love guns

I spend too much time thinking about hunting

I love the smell of skunk

everything I do in life revolves around my family

I love brown women with tattoos

I hate modern country music. I mean pop. I mean country. Who knows at this point

reality shows make me want to kick a puppy

I give zero f***s about what “celebrities” have to say about anything

I believe social media is the devil

people that don’t use their turn signals make me seriously contemplate speeding up and running into them

I drive around with a big ball-hitch
just in case i need to brake check someone following me too closely (which I contemplate daily)



Yeah, just a few

“Well I believe in this and it’s been tested by research, that he who f***s nuns will later join the church.”

Man, I guess I should admit this in this thread. I can’t stand dogs. People tell me their dog died and I can’t play off well that I just don’t care.

I started on the Plot-It board and didn’t reveal my identity (deaf college mathematics professor) until 2006 at the earliest. I blew my cover after taking umbrage at being called a quitter.

I don't know much of pop culture. But I balance that with the knowledge that it sucks anyway.

Edit. I am, as of this writing, 57 years on through my known lifecycle on this planet.

I think The Office -is not really very funny.

Mindy Kaling is neither funny or attractive.

People who have bumper stickers or clothing that want to discuss “their grand dogs” annoy the hell out of me.

I’m not always angry at clouds. But sometimes I like to yell at them to keep in practice.
