I can sort of see this point. I guess I am not as freaked at people putting up
images of whoever they find cute, but not try to shove it onto some people. I
mean I had some friends who couldn't understand I didn't like "Action Adventures"
and "Ultra Cynicism" movies as much as they did. Things like CON-AIR and "LAST
SUPPER" for example. They could not see how I could NOT like them, and thought I
was crazy. It is rattling, and it seemed kind of nasty to me.
They were a mixed group as far as any family can be. I eventually drifted away
from them because it was pretty depressing, and other weird events occurred. But
they all thought it was kind of "natural" and that it was weird not to like
them.
Have Fun,
Sends Steve
