Rescuing dogs? Puh. How positively common. I want midgets, cocaine, mallets, and roulette wheels in my Hollywood stories! I am so offended! We have cokeheads in my family!

Hey, watch the name-calling, buster! This applies to some in my family, and it can be incredibly insulting to use that term. Just sayin'.  They have Little People on TLC who rescue bull dogs. Just sayin'. Not that it has anything at all to do with this thread.

Besides .... a good percentage of production is now being done in Canada.  Hence and therefore .... Canadian People = losers

Hollywood people = losers. rant begins now .... The vast majority of people who work in the TV and film industry are not losers. They are hard working family people. Those Hollywood people include the two guys who wrote and produced and stared in your H's favorite TV comedy show (now enjoying re-run heaven). The nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. Funny. Self effacing. And, as hard as it is to imagine, given their TV wardrobe choices  , very family devoted. What you are talking about, I suspect, are the very visible & vocal minority who are in the public eye for misbehaving. And really, they are the tinniest minority. To miscast an entire group this way ... "Hollywood people = losers" ... lacks accuracy as well as imagination. Both of my H's AA sponsors are Hollywood people. Both exceptionally talented and both good men. Solid men with good moral standards. One of his sponsors did 2 tours of duty as a Marine in Viet Nam before he became a character actor. You see him every day in a variety of commercials & other shows. He is a stand up guy who visits men in prison for no other reason than to help them. My good friend's husband, and my H's good friend, is a hollywood person too. He's a Julliard educated musician who has been composing music you've enjoyed for decades. I guarantee that there are few Americans who have not said this about his most famous composition: "I love that song". He neither smokes, nor drinks, nor gambles, nor chases women. He is funny, and probably the smartest person I currently know. Better than that, he is kind and caring and humble. Never mind the gold records on his wall. He is a mench. Shall I tell you about the wardrobe mistress who rescues dogs? The location manager who cares for his ailing wife? The numerous craft service people who are on set by 4:30 to make sure the food is ready by the time the crew gets there? These are but a few of the examples I could write about, the Hollywood people I know and love. I could go on and on. And, I do take umbrage to them being called losers by anyone who has no idea what they are talking about. You touched a nerve, in case you couldn't tell. I decided to speak up for my friends. They are good people who work in the industry and are definitely not losers. /rant Hugs to you and Mr. Pep! I am so glad you posted this rant. It felt so one sided and much like the media likes to portray Christians. Yes, all of us Christians are murderous, bible thumping, judgemental about everything FOOLS!

So now I can't pick on midgets and cokeheads... next thing I'll be homosexual for patting a softball teammate on the butt during a game...

Yes, all of us Christians are murderous, bible thumping, judgemental about everything FOOLS! That's the problem with making global sweeping generalizations about any group that is, by nature, diverse. Especially without citing any data to back it up. There will be some who fit the stereotype, and many more who do not. Not all southern gals are toothless, pregnant by their uncle, and skinning a squirrel for tonight's dinner. Right, Luri?

And frankly, when someone does make such jokes about the south [and I hear them often], I laugh. Since I know those generalizations are not true, why would I take it personally? But if someone did offend me with a joke and they apologized, I think I would be gracious enough to accept their apology rather than pile on. So just what will it take to assuage your offense? Tell me what..

Sadly, some southern women are like that....and a lot of them have children on Toddlers and Tiaras.
Seriously, what is with that show???? I mean, I was in pageants....because I wanted to be. I watched it some at the hotel this weekend....and it made me quite sad. Let's spend some of that sequin money on grammar lessons people!!
Actually, I have been rebuked before about my apparent anti-redneck snobbery. I was one of those southern girls who went to charm school and still doesn't wear white after Labor Day....and my china set has finger bowls! But I still pass gas sometimes
hahahahahahahahaha

Here's a rant - these last few posts have nothing to do with marriage and the lazy old mods haven't even once said:
"Let's stick to Marriage Building Folks"
hee hee hee. I just feel the need to include them sometimes because they just sit and read all this stuff all day, with their names just sitting there all lonely at the bottom of the screen. No one every writes or calls or sends them cookies. It's like being a teacher, except at least little kids are cute.
