The View

I can no longer ignore it, I have a problem! Hello, my name is Lauren, and I hate the View!

When I have said this before, people ask, "Why, because they are opinionated women?" HA!! Opinionated my butt! Oprah is opinionated... these ladies fight the entire hour between 10-11AM because they all have an opinion, each of them totally different, and they are all experts on the topic of debate. BOO.

I am a huge supporter of people admitting immediately that they are not masters of the subject at hand! I do it all the time! There are arguments I will not get into with people because I just dont know enough about it to accurately defend my weak position- which could probably be easily changed if I was educated about it.

Religion is one of those topics- I have my fundamental beliefs, but I do not have the background to explain to you how we arrived on this earth. I have a personal belief in creation, not evolution, but I wont get into a debate with a scientific professional about it... they have years of research to support the opposite opinion! Not to mention the fact that maybe I dont want my mind changed, and I just want to rely on a little blind faith!

Politics is another! I find that I am instinctively conservative, but that I am not up to date on a good deal of the political activities that happened within the last 24 hours (who does?). I have several issues that I am still developing an opinion, and sometimes it is okay to say, "you know what, I don't have an opinion about [blank]." Another problem I have with this is believing the information that does make it to my television, and how corrupt the political system is, has been, and will likely always be! So, I try to believe about half of what I hear, keep my opinions to myself, and pray to GOD that things end up okay!

Change Scene: Back to the View. These women refuse to take a soft stance on much, which makes me want to go crazy! It sounds like a cat fight on national television! Not to mention the lack of standards they have for any of their guests! Yesterday, Spencer and Heidi from the Hills were on the show! I am sure they were able to offer some stimulating conversation about plastic surgery and living in hollywood with no job. Thanks for the contribution to our lives, ladies! (vomit). DISCLAIMER: I have not actually watched anything more than blurbs of this show, so I cannot elaborate further! It comes on our television at work, so the moment I hear these women cackling, I change the station!!

I do think the View is a poor representation of women around the country. We are not all that difficult to discuss anything with... I can just imagine Elisabeth Hasselbeck arguing with her husband about the way the toilet paper roll goes, or Barb proclaiming her stance on world issues in her living room to her cats! Please just spare us!

No more View! No more View! No more View! Watch Oprah! :)
