bad plastic surgery people scare me, midgets, amputees, lemur monkeys, spiders and ....
Watch this if you're brave.
If I post things here, you're just going to change the name of the thread to "Things I Love" like you did with that Hate Thread....
I read Peanuts. I know - Lucy always pulled the football away....
I remember when Michael and I, well, a few months after we'd been seein' each other, somehow he wound up spending the night over *giggle*. And, I got real real moist and he was all snuggled under the covers and he didn't know what I was doin' 'cause he was still sleepin'. Uh, he said "You can use your hands. It's slick in my hands like a -- kinda feels like a fish. Almost like I can't even hold on to him. " I was...probably...10 or 11 years old.-Paula Deen
I read Peanuts. I know - Lucy always pulled the football away....
I've been thinking about this an inordinate amount lately. It might be the single most important thing in literature ever. I'm too terrified to look into it any, if they've ever had "that one single time" where she didn't pull it away, for whatever special occasion. I would hope Shultz had some iron-clad thing in his will that if any of his stuff was continued, that Lucy pulling the ball away was immutable!
Charles Schulz was the 20th century's Neitzche...
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
-Marianne Williamson
I fear this is true.

This could probably go in that post about how modern monsters aren't scary anymore, but I'll put it here anyways.
"Tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner." or "To understand is to forgive."
As such, it's mostly things that we don't or can't understand that scare us. Once we've spent enough time with any one thing or topic, and begin to understand what it is or what it's doing, it's not quite as revulsive as it started out.
My personal thing is animation. Claymation and filmation in particular. I still get nightmares every so often over some claymation special I saw as a kid that did the story of Rip Van Winkle and Henry Hudson. Has anyone seen that "banned" Filmation special on Mormonism? (to bring up another current thread.) It is absolutely terrifying to look at. Things just don't move right. It's other-worldly.
To me animation is supposed to be Hanna-Barbera or Looney Tunes. Sure, they don't move right either, but I've spent so much time with them that I understand them and accept them as for what animation is.
Another thing I don't understand is Japanese animation, but I'm not really afraid of that, I just hate it to the very core of my being.
I know what you're talking about and I'm surprised that Claymation/stop-motion effects hasn't caused more seizures...
I've downloaded that horrible Mark Twain meets Satan claymation cartoon ( which may or may not be where that Van Winkle and Hudson segment came from?) and I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it yet. Just a 5 minute YouTube video is about the most frightening thing I've ever seen. How in the Hell can I sit through 90 minutes of that?!
Look at the mom ...
I'm sorry, but nothing is scarier than the lesser imp known as Paula Deen.
Paula Deen is the real life Cthulhu.
I'm gonna Paula Deen you.
If men are willing to go that far to get a whiff then maybe.
Hahaha most of the time.
....Getting fingered by unclipped nails.
What happens during ejaculation. Just a little FYI.
Cigarette burns on the nipples.
I'm glad to see you two found true love on Litreactor. First thread responses, now IMing so no one can see your secret messages to each other.
I am have a fear of the unknown. Large bodies of water where I can't see the botton, forget it.
In this video, the man speaks to the growing national fear of Carrot Top.
@Nathaniel - I think Claymation might be my favourite thing in the world. Probably because it's moderately creepy.
Right angles make me uncomfortable. One day I hope to move into a hut made of mud and never see a right angle again. They're very unnatural. Of course, I am pretty used to them. But they still bother me every so often.
The Tea Party.
Don't be scared of them. They're ideals can never sustain them. The center will not hold. Tea Party will not last.
Extremist in any political party.
What do you consider 'extreme'?
You, just you. lol,
No, anyone who is so dead set on their own way that they can't understand that everything is situational and there is no concrete answer for every scenario.
To tell a a girl who was raped to have a child is ridiculous. At the same time for a 23 year old woman who is "friendly" she may just have to suck it up.
Does eveyone need drugs, no. Do some people need drugs, yes.
Should we get rid of capilalism, no. Is capitalism the right way to handle every part of our economy, no.
When we stop trying to put everything into one basket, we will begin to see that everything can work if you implement it to the right situations.
Actually, that just sounds sort of liberal.
It may be, but it isn't extreme.
Averydoll scares me.
She's from Kentucky. Just stay near a library, you'll never run into her. lol
I'm kidding Avery. Put down the gun.
You're thinking of Mississippi.
I'm better read than the majority of you, so suck it.
Now that I know he's a socialist, I am afraid of Diaz.
