I actually watch Geordie Shore (for my sins), and yeah, they are all a bit extreme in one way or another, but Charlotte actually appears to be a pretty genuine girl, with a really good heart.

If everyone was really like her, then people wouldn't watch it in a show.

Her image? Why does that concern you? She's a young girl doind what young guys have been doing (without being judged for) all of history.

She likes sex, bodily functions, and drinking.


I'm sure conversations with your friends happen to include these topics from time to time.
You're just arguing with me for the sake of it. You've basically just agreed with me without realising it.

Apart from the 'doing through all history' part, which quite frankly is rubbish. You've just said exactly what I am but in a different way.

Let me spell it out for you - why are people regardless of age, in this country celebrated for being louts?

The American girl, comes across as a sweet, naive, god fearing, girl whilst Britain has a burping, farting, foul mouthed chav representing.

..I think she's been portrayed more as a 'plastic bimbo/shallow/air head/gold digger' type..that's not really better than Charlotte..it's equally as bad but just different...

That's not the impression i've got, not if you read between the lines at least. She spent hours on the first night worrying about her bloody stuffed toy for god sake. How more innocent can you get? She's also a Christian, which I didn't know before.

What have I learnt about the Geordie? She likes burping, farting, drinking and basically just being as obnoxious and 'outrageous' as she can.

You don't worry about a grown woman worrying about a soft toy? Just all part of the act. How anyone can call her innocent is so laughable it isn't even funny. Not innocent -either very calculating or completely thick.

We couldn't be further from agreeing on this point. You grouped this "modern youth" together and made out every young person was like that. I'm saying if every young person was like that, then no one would watch a show of them.

I specifically said I am not labeling 'every young person' just a very large majority.

Not every young person, just a large majority.

So a majority is 51%. A large majority to me would be 60-70%, then I'd say a "very large majority" would be around 80% which would be just under 6million of the 7.4 million young people in the uk.

I don't agree with that at all. I think it's an easy thing to label people.

When I have more time later on today, I will drag up some kind of stat that shows the amount of people that visit their local high st on a saturday night

OK. Just to clarify though, every young person visiting the town centre doesn't end up being air-tight in the toilets, before releasing their bowels in their knickers on the way home, whilst sucking the grease out of kebab meat.

In response, I would like to refer you to this thread

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=236241

Or maybe this one

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...d.php?t=236182

I have no intention of searching for stats, I was being sarcastic.

So instead you would prefer British women to have minds like children but with their boobs and crotch on display for all to see. Really not much to choose between them is there?

Oh please tell me you are being sarky when you refer to Courtney as innocent and god fearing, I just might give up on the human race altogether otherwise.

I am commenting on her/their character. Their dress sense is of no concern to me.

God fearing = respectful of God. Yes, she is.

Innocent = being concerned over a toy of hers. Yes.

Mind like a child? Are you suggesting she has some kind of mental retardation ? Odd

Innocent does not equal looking like a barbie with all that surgery and dressing like a tart. She can dress how she pleases, but lets not pretend she is innocent.

A grown woman being concerned about a toy is not normal or innocent - it is weird, either calculated to make her appear innocent or maybe she is even two pennies short of a sixpence. If the cap fits.

So by your assumption all adults that are into toys, games, comics, anime etc are weird, right? Ok

Doesn't make it wrong. She is harming nobody.

I have seen nothing that suggests she is calculating in any way. Drawing that conclusion says more about you than it does her.


Two pennies short of a sixpence? She is 18 years old and a millionaire.
