Man....so much hate about any organized or traditional event aroud here. With any event people look forward to, someone always has to post "Who hates Christmas\Thanksgiving/Easter/Halloween/The Olympics/Valentines Day/etc etc.

Are you bored with cutting yourself so you have to see what other people are doing and bring them down a notch?

I hate that there are not any real gladitor events these days. An effective deathrow solution no? :)

Events for events sake are always a negative for me. Holidays are typically a negative. There is so much pressure to make sure the event goes off correctly that we miss the goal of just being with family and friends. Sporting events are less likely to get that pressure as we enjoy the company of our friends with the beer and chips and whatnot that the game is secondary to the friendship (especially when you keep hoping that McNabb will do something positive).

Just the 2010 version of jeans, a white T shirt with a pack of cigs rolled in the sleeve, and a greasy DA haircut. Just ignore it, 99% of them eventually grow out of it.

I dunno, bro. I don't have that problem myself and I'm not too worried about other people who create unnecessary pressure. Why sweat that stuff?

I don't sweat it, others do. Especially the big holidays. It is like the wedding day and you just try not to piss the bride off! No, you don't need corn, it's okay, we have plenty to eat... relax and have a good time. But inevitably, something will go hideously wrong in the eyes of the host and boom, everybody is miserable.

I like the traditions because I remember how fun and captivated I was as a kid. I hope all kids get the same experience I had with family and friends when growing up. Surely, I started becoming distant of the events in my late teenage years and in early adult hood, but your values change when you get older andyou start thinking about the more important things in life that help society move on.

Do you like movies about gladiators?

Perhaps you have spent time in a turkish prison?

Maybe you saw a grown man naked
