THANK YOU!! I know it's the popular thing to hate on Coldplay or whatever, but their music is so moving and emotionally charged to me. Plus, they're awesome live, unlike plenty of other bands out there today.

Yeesh just acting in that movie would traumatize me. I don't think I'll ever be able to re-watch it, as beautifully haunting as some of the songs were.

Eh. No doubt the CCP has done a lot of damage. But I wouldn't worry too much about the younger generation in China. They're internet savvy and a great deal more worldly than the previous generation. I wrote my master's thesis on college students' views and opinions on Japan. Despite their crazy biased education, they…

Yeah I've never really encountered "ginger prejudice" either. Then again, I've mostly traveled in Asia where they don't even know what the color of my hair is called. I blame South Park for the recent resurgence of ginger hate.

whoops double post

You're not looking hard enough :-P I'm a pasty redhead and I lived in Miami for 20 years. Also, I still have pasty friends living back home.

Usually I just laugh it off. Once they know me a little better, they'll see that I'm not all that quick to anger and realize their dumb misconceptions.

Except even with brown hair, Rapunzel was still magical because SPOILERS her magic tears brought Eugene back to life /SPOILERS. Losing her blonde hair wasn't meant to be a remark on her personality.

Never saw bagged milk until I lived in China. Not only is it bagged there, it comes in weird flavors like peanut and corn. This has been your useless fact for the day...

Some extremely conservative factions in Japan speak louder than everyone else when it comes to denying this aspect of history. There are some voices in Japan that definitely acknowledge all the atrocities committed by the army (such as the memorial museum in Hiroshima). Until everyone else combines their voices and…

So the atrocities committed by the Japanese army invalidate the suffering of the innocent citizens killed by the two atomic bombs and all the firebombs the US dropped?

You mean it was a good thing that I fell asleep in almost every AP US History class? Nice.

Put together, they have a shit ton of medals for women's gymnastics.

Erm, white girl here who is almost never attracted to white men. Clearly, iDreamofU thinks I have failed the human race.

Kettle corn is still ok right? RIGHT?!

Ditto. Disney porn is far less squicky than RPF in my opinion.

Can't have that. During their greatest moments, athlete's bodies show strain and commit the most egregious sin of all: they JIGGLE. Can't have the children watching that.

How about all the fertilized eggs that never got to implant themselves in the mother's uterine lining? They never got a chance either. I understand how easy it can be to feel sentimental about it and generally horrified at the cruelty of life and natural selection. But this is life. Those cells may never have had the…

Sweet!

So I have to rub them on my skin? Eh. Probably feels nicer than most kinds of sunscreen. The bugs are definitely a problem though. As an extremely skin-cancer prone redhead, I'll take any alternative to sunblock/screen I can get.
