Name A popular trend and tell us why you like it or dislike it.

Justin Bieber. Ugh. I hate him. All the girls I know talk about him constantly. He's ugly as hell, he sounds like a girl, what redeeming qualities do girls find in him?!?! I just don't get it.

jmc1097 : he sings.... that's basically it. And I'm sure some of them think he is good looking.

It's about that simple. Learn how to sing or play the guitar and you'll have girls too.

I guess you can say Ugg Boots are a lasting trend. I don't like them. They look weird to me, and I see girls wearing those boots 24/7. There was one girl at my school who wore Ugg Boots every day for the whole year.

For me that would have to be a dislike for the whole social networking craze. I say this with the up most respect for people who enjoy social networking but for me I could never really understand the purpose of it and based on all the negative things I’ve heard on various news programs, articles I’ve read and, things I’ve listened to on the radio it seems to be quite dangerous and being in the media I prefer to keep my nose out of anything even remotely risky.

I see it as an unnecessary risk is all and I just prefer to stick to a semi-old school way of doing things. If I want to get in touch with someone I pick up the telephone and call them and if someone is looking for me though they could probably find an article with my name on it, but if anyone were looking for me all they would have to do is pick up the telephone and call me.

I also admit that I am somewhat reclusive by nature and like anyone else I enjoy my privacy and it seems more and more evident that if you do social networking that there is at least a decent chance of compromising your privacy and that, besides the various bad stories I’ve heard involving criminals on social networking sites has turned me off to the idea.

I do have family and friends that do enjoy it but it’s just not my cup of tea. I prefer to think of it as the new “In “ thing right now but, as most things that are “In” it will eventually fizzle out over time when the next monster craze comes along. I just wish those involved with these social networking sites would do a better job policing them or at the very least bring in some sort of adequate enforcement to make sure it’s safe for all who choose to access it.

Realizing that some may view my stance on social networking as antiquated and an over reaction let me go on record as saying that I have been writing since 1995 though I did not begin it fulltime until 2001. In the course of that time I have met several people that I met online and for the most part I keep in contact with those folks in some form to this day.

From a personal perspective I am a proud Uncle of six kids and as someone who is hopeful of being a father one day and looks at those six kids as if they were his own; I worry a great deal about their safety and I’m sure even if some may not agree with me that you all can understand that.

I have been feeling much older in recent years than I actually am. This may be due to the fact that I grew up in the best decade (At least that’s my opinion) the 80’s and, there may very well be a generational gap/disconnect as to why I don’t find social networking appealing. I am not ashamed to admit when I entered this world though and wouldn’t change that for anything.

Just my opinion…

okay so I'm pretty sure you all know how to dougie and reject, well personally i can't stand either one of them.. i think it should've stopped with jerkin' (only because i seen this girl work somebody while jerkin')

I'm honestly not into "trends". I prefer to have my own style and stick to that. Which is modest and comfortable.
