Re: Gear Grinding 8: I Got A Lot Of Problems With You People!
This is how the conversation usually goes...
Me: I know everyone likes The Wire but I honestly tried watching it and I never got into it...I can see why people like it but it just isnt my thing.
Wire Fan: You obviously have zero taste! You dont get why [insert name here] is the greatest character in modern tv history?!?!? The writers are so far above you that you just dont get it!
Me: No...I get it and like I said I understand why people love it, I just dont.
Wire: Who do you think you are?!?! Critics agree it is the best show of all time? But not you, cause you are like so much better?
Me: Nope.
Wire: What do you watch...I bet it sucks!!!
Me: And we are done...
There is lots of things I dont like but I respect. That isnt good enough for fans of certain things though. For years I couldnt stand Led Zepplin...the amount of crap I took for that from everyone and their mother was insane. I still do because I cant stand The Doors. Hell...I get crap because I dont play Fantasy Football and find NFL football boring nowadays. (and if I dare mention liking basketball every hockey snob goes bleeping nuts!!!) Fans of certain groups, movies, sports and TV shows just are too deep into it. Me, if I am entertained great if not oh well I hope you were!
