Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I had to cross a very busy road that merged onto a highway 5 minutes down that road so people were always speeding. Lucky only my boot got hit and knocked off the one time a car hit me. We used to rush home to catch GH at 3 to the point where we stopped getting off at our stop and got off at one somewhat further away but the time we'd be getting home was the time our bus would actually drop off at our stop( that's what happens when all the stops are at major middle and elementary schools close by and kids from all over town ride your bus).

Members All My Shadows Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I wasn't completely sure if schools in the northeast started later than they do here (typically anywhere between 7am and 7:30am), so I was willing to give them that allowance.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I should've gone to Cheap's school since it started so late. I went to school in PA and most schools started by 8 in my region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 Another pet peeve of mine is when serious issues like raped are played off as something to giggle about. See OLTL and GH under FRon for examples And also on DAYS for awhile when Nicole's porn star past was constantly thrown in her face as if it was something she chose willingly. Chad did it, Rafe did it, some random guy in a bar did it like child pornography isn't an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 The story where he had Mitch as Jessica's father try to rape her for the sole purpose of impregnating her, complete with giving her electroshock therapy to mess up her mind should have been portrayed as the dark serious plot it was. To turn that around and give us comical teen Jess was such an insult and what caused me to just drop the show. I was that disgusted with the story and how it was treated. Incest, rape, abuse...you dont play with that stuff. It wasnt cool and it wasnt funny and then he made all the characters around her enable her as if there was nothing wrong with her thinking she was a teenager and enrollin back in HS at 30+ years old. I should probably stop right there before I get too worked up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 Which is why I also hate when soaps use rape and abuse to get us to like characters. Like so an so is annoying and shrieky let's have them hurt so the audience will fall in love with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I don't like rape used as a plot point. I can think of 5 women on the GH canvas right now that has been raped at one time or another. That's ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Eric83 Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I was thinking about Carly at first but I guess I will give it a pass since it was before her character joined the show. I forgot about Michael lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 I remember the one year in one of the soap rags they did a comparison between all the soaps(this was long before all the cancellations) to rank the most violent acts. They had categories for murder, rape, shootings, domestic violence, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 12, 2013 Members Share Posted May 12, 2013 S(h)e (supposedly) likes girls. That makes h(er)im a lesbian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
