I do. It's a dead skunk!
The mere thought of Chris Martin gives me vomit reactions so no. just no.
These days Bono looks way too old for me to like, so can I go with neither? Or if I have to choose, Zoo or PopBono.
long time no see! Seems like.
Hi Gg!
That is the weidest hairstyle.
hai! It just looks hillarious!You totally have a right to your opinion. In the words of Voltaire 'I may
not agree with what you say but I will defend to my death your right to say it.'
But you would have to have to be a boy to have an Oedipus complex. You could possibly (not) have an 'Electra' complex. (all his children had complexes which isn't really all that strange is you think about it!)
(I don't think you are shallow-I think that is rather a cheap shot actually and an easy one)
Nice quote there. 
I have to admit, Bono was pretty cute when he was younger.
I'm really glad you do!
And I don't think it is over-reacting to keep coming back at someone so determined to put you down.
And yes you are absolutely right about the whole Oedipus thing (now that I have thought about it), it is a freudian idea and there are plenty of women who want to kill their mothers and marry their fathers.
That is so fascinating that you are studying Greek language? Did you say? That's one thing I have never done. Mythology, literature, history and actually going there too. But I certainly couldn't understand the signs!
It was so amazing though, I would love to go back..........
This IS a great thread! Thanks
I think it's way more common for women to have a complex like this than for men. At least you hear it more often. Probably because the idea of an older man and younger woman is much more accepted in society these days than an older woman and a toyboy. I guess it's cause of the old standards or so. I personally don't see why age should matter for love. If you fall in love with an older guy, you fall in love. No can do!
Well I don't study it but I live in Holland.
At highschool we must choose a bunch of languages, English ofcourse, either French or German(or both) and then when you do medium level you get Spanish, when you do upper you can either do Atheneum, which has Spanish or music/arts or Gymnasium, which has Latin and later Greek.
You make a choice after three years which one you want to advance in, I chose Latin, but we also had a separate subject on Ancient history and mythology, trip to Rome to see everything.
That's one choice I shall never regret! (I do regret not getting music as an extra class! Damn that tutor who told me not to! Damn me for listening!)
It was a complete accident but the day we went to visit the San Pietro the pope was there. We thought it was normal that it was so busy there. Oh you know Dutchies? Nice!
Yea, it's a trip with school in our 5th year of highscool. Pretty big impression for a bunch of hyperactive 16 year olds! The hotel was crap(Cockroaches, if you got up too late cold showers, uncomfy beds, thievery and the likes) but the whole experience was amazing. We even got to see the pope!
The sistine chapel was awesome too, and we also visited Napoli and Pompei one day.
You ever been to Rome?
Never! I've actually heard terrible things about it. I mean great things of course but terrible too. Just overcrowded, dirty, too many cars, ok like most cities, I don't like cites too much. I've heard better things about Florence.
I would love to visit Herculaneum and Pompeii. That's the Amalfi Coast isn't it?
Did you ask the Pope about Bono?
It's dirty and very crowded yes. But the cars aren't bad. Most people there aren't insured, so they'll think twice before crashing into a hord of people. They don't do traffic lights there either, it's more collecting a bunch of walking people, and then when there's enough of them just pass cause the cars will stop anyway! 
Just my luck! I didn't get to talk to him. It was waaaay crowded there, I almost got squashed cause of all the people!
A pillow?
Reminds me of Eddie Izzard:Well I don't study it but I live in Holland.

Wow, I never saw that! The guy's funny, even tho he's a drag queen!
I was closeNope. A cloud!
Correction: He's a transvestite. He's very clear on the difference at the beginning of his Dress to Kill special. He also claims to be 'an executive transvestite'. He hardly ever dresses up anymore though

Pardon me then. I stand corrected. Seems like a funny guy!Yea, oddly enough you're the 2nd person who said pillow today! Ah well, it's funnier when you say it completely dead pan.
Yes, we love Eddie Izzard.
I've never been to Amsterdam (I was a little scared to go!) but I have been to Antwerp. And it was beautiful. Took the ferry from was it Dover? (so long ago) to Ostend. Superfun!
The absence of traffic lights and/or need for insurance in Rome has rather captured my imagination. I was thinking about the whole no traffic lights thing all day yesterday. So you can keep going and never stop? Wow! How would you discourage people from gathering themselves into groups and then hurling themselves (bravely!) into the road? By driving really fast?! How fun! But really not fun to be a pedestrian. You have to wait for a group of people before you cross the road? That could take some time. And I hate waiting. Course you have to wait for traffic lights too.
Fascinating.
And what is the significance of the dog?
Tell me more!
Well some pedestrians stop for cars, so you can drive. And if you force them by driving trough they'll stop for you. It's an odd odd situation!
I don't understaaaaaaand. I think Bono is hot. I prefer older men. But WTF LU. Calling GG shallow because she doesn't fancy older Bono? It's her (and anyone else's) prerogative to not be attracted to men so much older than she is. I'm sorry if that offends you, but seriously.. you're being a bit absurd about it. No one's saying "Men in their fourties are disgusted!" we're kind of saying "It's okay to not like a guy twice your age." I'm sure when GG is closer to her 40s, she'll like men in their 40s. Just because you're closer to Bono's age doesn't mean anyone's trying to say people in that age bracket can't be hot. Calm down, dear.
A pillow?
Reminds me of Eddie Izzard:
YouTube - Eddie Izzard - Being Bilingual
"In Europe we have 200 languages. 200 languages! Just count them, I know you won't! And future generations if Europeans, I'm sorry Europeans, but we're going to have to be bilingual. We are all gonna have to be, and English speakers hate this: 'Two languages in one head?! No one can live at that speed! Good lord man, you're asking the impossible!' .. 'But the Dutch speak four languages and spoke marijuana.' .. 'Yes, but they're cheating.'"
Freakin' mother lovin' hot hot hot!Ah Antwerp, nice city!That's not Holland tho, that's Belgium.
oh the dog. I totally forgot to elaborate that!
In our 2nd year of latin we had a textbook which had a few texts about Pompei. One of them was about a dog that was chained to a pole or someting, in Pompei, the day of the eruption.
Scarily enough, they actually found that dog! And conserved it. So I was looking forward to seeing that. Sadly it wasn't there.
It was really odd seeing all those people tho.
Seriously, guys? We're having a catfight over Bono? Um...okay.
For the record, I don't think Bono's attractive, either.
What does this mean in the grand scheme of things? Absolutely nothing.
I think those who are taking GG's preferences so personally ought to take a breather and leave her alone. She isn't the only one who doesn't think he's sexy. After all, it's Only A Poll. And chances are, Bono doesn't care. :grin:
BTW - what's up with that owl? That thing looks like my mother's cat on speed.
