Zeyna | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:09 pm     Tabby, I am not trying to be right..just expressing my opinion. Lisa's comments were not intended for us - perhaps Crossfire is correct and the live feed techs need to tone this down because so many people are obviously upset.

Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:14 pm     zeyna, i apologize for my argumentativeness, but the houseguests know they are on live feeds and ARE trying to shock us some of the time. i don't know of any normal adults who talk about sex even 20% of the time, and i still think this group talks about it a lot more than that! gosh,i'd love to hear how they had to tell habitat for humanity they couldn't help put up the sheetrock for the next few months because they would be away, or how the assistant scout master took over the troop at a moment's notice because so and so would be away. this is definitely not your 'average' group of mature, giving adults. 'normal' people do talk about a lot more than sex. |
Crossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:15 pm     Well actually, the true effect of what I was saying, is that they spend too much time filtering interesting conversations, but let the smut and boring stuff roll forever. I'd like them to just stop filtering period. In some cases, that might mean more smut, but at least there would hopfully be another feed on something others find interesting. |
Tabbyking | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:15 pm     oregon, what color paint?! it could be much more interesting! |
Bbwatcher | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:30 pm     I'm not going to call any names - BUT ..... I think this board is experiencing some of what the house is experiencing - a real divergence in personality types. I personally am very open to people being SEXUAL beings, and I think sex is wonderful, however I also think that this bunch of people (lisa and chiara especially) are really obsessed with their sexuality to the point that it diminishes it. Are some of you posters saying that there is no such thing as talking about sex too much or in too much detail? If so, then we disagree. And I would bet that you folks (guys and gals alike) who believe that sex should be a PUBLIC issue have had or will have less than satisfying intimate relationships with real live (not tv) people. If your life is filled with the "wonder" of sex then I personally feel that you are missing out on the true wonders of life. Whatever... I'm sorry - I'm done. Believe me that more harm is done to our society and family structures because of sexual obsessions. My personal opinion - don't attack me saying that I'm telling you I'm right. I'm only saying what 45 years of quite varied experience has taught me. Sex is wonderful, but if sex is ALL IMPORTANT, then your life will be a ruin. Thanks. Have a good evening |
Zeyna | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:30 pm     Tabby, I think most people here would agree with your point. For some reason I think that they're more trying to outdo eachother than play for the audiance, but again, that's just me. I would also prefer some good conversation but this is what we've got. In any case, no hard feelings Oregon Cross, totally agree. |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:34 pm     BBwatcher, that came across as pretty judgmental. I think I'm ready for my public flogging for thinking impure thoughts. Oh wait, maybe I'd get off on that too much. |
Bbwatcher | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:38 pm     Oregon - please don't be a smartass with me. I clearly said that it is strictly my opinion. Do you not wonder what these "ladies'" parents, siblings, grandparents, etc.. feel about the PUBLIC sexual displays that the "ladies" are giving us? Where is dignity and respect..? If not for themselves, then what about the others in their lives? |
Mssilhouette | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:39 pm     You know I don't expect the HG's to talk about serious stuff but non serious stuff doesn't have to be about graphic shock value stuff either. I also think that we are becoming a bit backbiting maybe it's the nature of BB3 and what not, who knows. Anyhoo, on average I believe there is convo about some sexual situation with graphic description just about every day and sometimes twice. That's a bit high for anyone. Ahh well maybe they'll ease up when the numbers in the house get lower. Who knows...I do know I'm getting burnt out on BB3 period. part of the reason why I ended my subscription today. |
Kaili | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:40 pm     People people people!!! Can't we all just get along! I have never seen so much bickering between posters as in the last few days! Let's all just hug (in a completely non-sexual way) and get along! Please? |
Oregonfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:42 pm     Saying that anyone here who thinks that sex talk should be public has had or will have unsatisfying relationships is out of bounds in my book and courting trouble. "Just my opinion" with a smiley face isn't going to take the edge off for me. Please think twice about insulting and assuming please. |
Bbwatcher | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:45 pm     Kaili - I'm sorry - I try not to bicker but I am so hurt by what BB has turned into this year and I am saddened by how many of our posters here seem to be thrilled by it. I guess I should just go to bed and start over fresh tomorrow. Believe me, I think sex is wonderful - I'm just sick of how some of this year's hgs run it into the ground. |
Minnyace01 | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:45 pm     BBwatcher - I agree with everything that Oregonfire just said and BBwatcher, we are going to have to agree to disagree with about 75% of the bs that you just spewed out. |
Delilah | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:47 pm     I agree Kaili! The last few days I didn't even want to come here because everyone is arguing about pretty much everything! It is enough. We are adults with different opinions but we should respect each other and not force our thoughts down each other's throats. I am not pointing fingers but you could cut the tension on this board with a knife! A little humor would go a long way! That is what I come here for - fun! It isn't fun right now and most threads I can't even participate in because I do not want to argue with anyone. I rarely lose my temper and humor is my approach usually, I have never had a problem with anyone on this board but I am sick to death of all the bickering and personal "agendas" back and forth. I am probably going to PO some people with this post but I had to say it! :::::end of rant::::::  |
Bbwatcher | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:48 pm     Ok Oregon - I was going to bed, but you have inspired me to post again. I stand by my OPINION that if sex is TOO or ALL IMPORTANT in your life - my OPINION is that your intimate relationships (and that includes more than your sexual partner) will suffer. Take it or leave it - I really hadn't been directing my post to you earlier - you just seem to be attracted to it. No smiley face for you tonight. |
Zeyna | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:49 pm     Were you directing your post at me BBWatcher? |
Bbwatcher | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:51 pm     Zeyna - why on earth would you think I was directing my post to you? |
Crossfire | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:52 pm     Am I going to have time to nuke up some popcorn? Usually its me in the middle of these, not often I get to snack. |
Kaili | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:54 pm     I guess I would just figure that since they're casting more and more "sexy" people - they want a sexually charged show. We all know that sex sells and if having this atmosphere in the house will increase viewers and/or feed subscribers, then there is your reason. I don't know why people like to talk about it so much- I guess it might be more interesting, entertaining, contraversial, or whatever than talking politics or other everyday topics. Possibly these people just don't have a lot in common. Current events have been covered, they've been out of the "real world" for awhile now...once they begin to run out of topics and they have nothing else in common in terms of lifestyles, interests, jobs, etc-- this is what they are left with. I don't think it necessarily makes them immature or perverse- just bored or possibly boring. |
Delilah | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:55 pm     Crossfire, please make me an ice cream sundae! I need some comfort food right now because I am so annoyed by all this. This is the friendliest BB board on the net, what the heck has happened? This thread has made me lose my humor mojo and I ain't pleased about that. |
Bbwatcher | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:56 pm     Crossfire - I swear I'm not going to post again tonight. Sorry but you can put your popcorn up. I didn't mean to get into it with any of you guys/gals. I love this board. Didn't mean to start crap on it. Sorry Oregon and Zeyna and everyone else. I'm not usually a trouble maker. BB3 live feeds are just getting on my nerves. Since I've watched (and read live feeds for) every BB so far I can't give up on these hgs yet - but I'm pretty frustrated. I'll really go to bed now. Sincerely - good night to all and apologies to anyone that I offended. That's not my style. |
Kaili | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:57 pm     Yay! Delilah in the same thread as me!!!! Hugs!! We can dance around and giggle at all this madness!!! Whoopee!!! |
Bbwatcher | Friday, July 26, 2002 - 11:58 pm     I lied - I'm posting again. But just for a hug good-night - or is everyone mad at me? |
Wcv63 | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 12:00 am     The board bickering happens every year. Usually when it seems as if the rest of the game is laid out before us and things have become predictable. As an old hand I generally just shrug my shoulders and realize that things will change and stick to threads that I choose to participate in. Please don't take this as anything other than what it is....an observation of what seems to be an annual trend. |
Kaili | Saturday, July 27, 2002 - 12:01 am     I'm not at all mad about anything...just generally frustrated at everything becoming a big ordeal. This is not directed at anyone in particular...it's just tiring and no fun to read people arguing all the time. Goodnight BBwatcher, unless you decide to stay up |
