Title: Does anybody else think that Coach handbags are hideous?

This is as bad as Barbara Streisand's fashion sense.


Here's some other stuff:

some are but I have a FAKE Coach bag that I bought in the city... and I think it's rather cute.  It's a fairly simple looking one though, all dark pink.

Very true.  It's all personal opinion.  Things that I think are pretty or whatever... other people could think are completely ugly.

hence the reason I bought a fake one off the street for 10 bucks.  haha.  I only liked one of them... probably the simplest looking one.  All the others, to me, are a bit... too much for my taste.

Some of the designs are beyond tacky, but there are several solid colors that look great.  And, the workmanship is flawless.

I'll agree the prices are completely out of control.  None of the prices are negotiable, which IMO gives them a snooty factor.  But what can I say?  I've bought a few as gifts for my gf, and I'm pleased that they have held up.

You can insult coach all you want... but "beholder" means basically "person seeing it."

So having very few beholders does not mean something is ugly.  It just means very few people saw it.

So saying "if beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then you must not have many beholders" is just paraphrased to "if the people seeing it decide if it's pretty or not, than not many people must have seen it!"

Which... isn't insulting at all.  In fact, it's kinda random and non-sensical.

But you got rid of it, so it doesn't really matter anymore.

Everytime you post, I lose a little more hope for the future.

"OMG I HAVE EXPENSIVE HANDBAGS AND CLOTHES AND I AM 16 YEARS OLD AND NEVER WORKED A DAY IN MY LIFE BUT MOMMY AND DADDY TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME WHICH MEANS I AM SOOOOOO COOOOOOLLLL!!!!!!!!!!"

You should stop posting on the internet.  You are way too fashionable for us.

Post by: Ryou-Neko on June 22, 2006, 09:22:17 am
You make me laugh. =) Where did you get enough money for 100 coach items anyway!? Most of them are $100 and up, and some go up to $800. The average of that is $450, and $450 * 100 is $45000.

If that's around how much money you've spent on coach purses...

$45000 can provide 18,880 children and fifty teachers with an emergency school-in-a-box kit — a ready-made educational solution packed in a lockable metal box, containing equipment such as pencils, erasers, exercise books, writing slates, scissors, carrier bags, marker pens, posters, registers and blackboard equipment, says UNICEF.

 :o  those are The Fray lyrics in your sig, young man! good chioce, good choice :-P


...and Coach is just too expensive. There are some of their purses that I think are nice, but I would shell out hundreds of dollars for one. And if I did, I would probably never use it because I would inevitably spill something on it, as that seems to be my luck with everything I buy, especially clothes. And I'm with RN, I'd rather donate all that money than buy something I could easily get at a store for a fraction of the price.

I bought their CD on SonicStage right after I heard "Over my Head". A month or two later, I found out that they were HUGE at my school (my school is flooded with DMB people - it's scary). But I liked them before they were a fad.

I think most of them are pretty ugly. That change purse looking one isn't so bad, I'd use it, but since it probably costs like $50 and it's probably about 4 inches long max, I'd never buy it.

I think the worst thing about the coach bags and most of the other popular and expensive bags out there is that most of them are decorated with the brand's symbol all over it. It's even worse than designer clothes because at least most designer clothes have only one stamp logo on them as opposed to it being the whole decoration of the clothing.

The people who design Coach handbags simply have no taste. If I were gonna blow tons of money on some sort of status symbol, I'd get a nice, elegant watch. A Rolex (any one of them!) is way more elegant than any gaudy bag to come out of Coach.

The only thing that bothers me about The Fray is that they keep going on about how unique their music is...I beg to differ, I've heard "Over My Head"-type songs from plenty of bands.

Child, you're so behind.  If you're gonna make fun of nerds, atleast be current.  Nerds today play World of Warcraft, not D&D.

Now, I play neither, but atleast you'd be somewhat accurate in your attemtps if you said WoW.

Yeah.  I believe that.  You've got the IQ of the average small household pet.  You're materialistic, incapable of using correct punctuation or grammar, you're insecure and in need of constant reassurance.  I've yet to see an interesting, or original, thought come out of your head.

You're a bad cliche of everything that's wrong with your generation, and you've been repeatedly outclassed ITT by someone younger than you.

Now wakeup from your dreamworld, and try actually doing something with your life.  Because if you don't, you're gonna wakeup one day, dropped out of college, pregnant and living in a 1 bedroom apartment that smells like cat piss and weed wondering what your life might have been like if you'd just payed a little more attention to your parents.

Sorry if I don't discuss my philosophical views on this website. You are welcome to come to my book clubs every Thursday night, however.

My job: being a student. And I am a darn good one at that. I don't know why you keep telling me that I've done nothing with my life. What the hell did you do at the age of 16? Single handedly try to save Africa? Well, I think you failed.

My dog, who excels at grammar (and who's a wiz with semicolons) told me that "dreamworld" is two words. Also, my gerbil told me that the past participle of TO PAY is paid not "PAYED."  SO...GRAK-THAT

Even though you are technically older than me, I hardly consider you my elder. Why should I be taking worthy advice from a twenty-something? You need just as much, probably more, advice than I do.

I hope for the sake of mankind that you never reproduce.

OK. He's right:
1) You are indeed materialistic.
2) I have not seen you use correct punctuation or grammar until today.
3) You are indeed a bad cliche of everything wrong with our generation; two things that are wrong including the fact that we can't use correct grammar (rarely you'll find a person under eighteen who will) and the fact that we we can't seem to keep our hands off seven-hundred dollar Coach handbags and three-hundred dollar iPods instead of giving the money to people who actually need it.
4) 'Dreamworld' is a word: go here (http://webster.com/dictionary/dreamworld).
5) When did immaturity become synonymous with twenty-something? Or teenage, for that matter?

The only points of yours that are correct is that paid is the past participle of pay, as opposed to 'payed'. The only thing Grak got wrong other than that was that he was very ignorant to say that you don't pay attention to your parents. How dare he! Where else would you get your credit cards from!?

Much Love!

Let's review, shall we?

1) I am sixteen-years-old and you are twenty-six.

2) In your eyes I am materialistic, ignorant, naïve, misanthropic, haughty, witless, narcissistic, selfish, insecure, clichéd, and not to mention just plain stupid.

3) Meanwhile, I think of you as aggressive, oppressive, troubled, irrational, hypocritical, imposing, and quite frankly annoying.

Now let's comment:

- The simple fact that you were born in the 1970's and are active on this website is pathetic in itself.
-  I also find it funny that you have enough free time to both post 3500 times and attempt to admonish my lifestyle incessantly.
- I may find some happiness in my material objects, but I do find greater joy in working hard, helping others, and spending time with my family and friends.
- Who are you to judge my intelligence? I am curious because the judges of the National Toshiba Exploravision Competition must've based their semi-finalist finishes on different criteria. I guess they thought I was smart enough! I assume they're wrong sometimes, I mean, who is the better judge: a group of members of the distinguished scientific community, or a 26-year-old application engineer on a female pop idol's fansite?
- I'd like to point out that every one of the adjectives I used to describe you above are also the ones I used to describe Hitler in my AP World History paper! Funny, eh?
- Anyway, I still am very curious about how you have the hubris to make me defend my lifestyle. Who in their right mind, besides yourself, of course, would give you the authority to dole out advice to every person that you deem to be "corrupt" or "misguided"? Personally, I think Dr. Phil would be very disappointed.

Well, I have to go shopping for alligator-skin boots (authentic, of course) and have like 2 fresh veal chops (you know what they say, binge and purge!  :lol: ).  Wait, maybe I should go kick some poor people and give them fashion advice! God knows they could use it!

Mwahzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz <3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3

Luvz'ya'lots, <3 Sam

Oh and PS: Ryou-Neko, I strongly suggest that you withdraw from this "conflict" between us, we seriously don't need a 13-year-old peer mediator.

Thanxxxx Agggaain!

Lord Andrew, I was using sarcasm and actually agreeing with you on that particular point. (The point about teens who spend their parents' money on expensive bags etc., priding themselves not on the person they are and their achievements and dreams/goals, but on the acquisition of material goods.)

aggressive - check
oppressive - check
imposing - check

3 of 7 isn't bad, especially when you were trying to be insulting.

The simple fact that you were born in the 1970's and are active on this website is pathetic in itself.


*sigh*

I'll be sure to tell the admin staff you said that.  I'm sure they will love that you think we're all pathetic.

Maybe you're forgetting, that when ATM came out, I was 20.  You think people should stop being fans because they got older?


Quote from: "Whitehouses"
I also find it funny that you have enough free time to both post 3500 times and attempt to admonish my lifestyle incessantly.


You should probably do the math on how long I've been a member before you start down this road.  It really makes you look stupid.

Quote from: "whitehouses"
I may find some happiness in my material objects, but I do find greater joy in working hard, helping others, and spending time with my family and friends.


Yeah.  I can tell you like helping others, by how much money your family spends on your coach bags.  I wonder, how many weeks rent for a single mom could those bags pay for?  How many meals?

Quote from: "whitehouses"
Who are you to judge my intelligence? I am curious because the judges of the National Toshiba Exploravision Competition must've based their semi-finalist finishes on different criteria. I guess they thought I was smart enough! I assume they're wrong sometimes, I mean, who is the better judge: a group of members of the distinguished scientific community, or a 26-year-old application engineer on a female pop idol's fansite?


Yeah.  I'm smarter than you.  You know how I know I am?  Because only stupid people invoke test scores or competition performances as a measure of their intelligence.  The next step in you proving my point is to bust out PSAT or IQ score.  That's always my favorite.

I'm also smarter than the judges of the whateverthefuck that was you said up there.  You know how I know I am?  Because they are spending their time juding some sort of stupid competition instead of doing real work.  If you can't do, teach.  If you can't teach, be a critic.

Quote from: "whitehouses"
- Anyway, I still am very curious about how you have the hubris to make me defend my lifestyle.


Because i am smarter and older than you.  It's my job to tell you how stupid you are.

I did it for Will when he was your age, and look how he turned out under my expert guidance <________________<

Edit: Also, you should put your thesaurus away.  When you suddenly start using big words, it makes you look like you're trying too hard.  Which just makes it even more pathetic.

Dear God, what's wrong with you? You would have stopped ages ago if you had any sense? What's the point in arguing against two people who aren't going to agree with you?

Quote from: "whitehouses81680"
Let's review, shall we?

1) I am sixteen-years-old and you are twenty-six.

2) In your eyes I am materialistic, ignorant, naïve, misanthropic, haughty, witless, narcissistic, selfish, insecure, clichéd, and not to mention just plain stupid.

3) Meanwhile, I think of you as aggressive, oppressive, troubled, irrational, hypocritical, imposing, and quite frankly annoying.

Now let's comment:

- The simple fact that you were born in the 1970's and are active on this website is pathetic in itself.
-  I also find it funny that you have enough free time to both post 3500 times and attempt to admonish my lifestyle incessantly.

- I'd like to point out that every one of the adjectives I used to describe you above are also the ones I used to describe Hitler in my AP World History paper! Funny, eh?
- Anyway, I still am very curious about how you have the hubris to make me defend my lifestyle. Who in their right mind, besides yourself, of course, would give you the authority to dole out advice to every person that you deem to be "corrupt" or "misguided"? Personally, I think Dr. Phil would be very disappointed.

Well, I have to go shopping for alligator-skin boots (authentic, of course) and have like 2 fresh veal chops (you know what they say, binge and purge!  :lol: ).  Wait, maybe I should go kick some poor people and give them fashion advice! God knows they could use it!

Mwahzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz <3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3<3 <3

Luvz'ya'lots, <3 Sam

Oh and PS: Ryou-Neko, I strongly suggest that you withdraw from this "conflict" between us, we seriously don't need a 13-year-old peer mediator.

Thanxxxx Agggaain!


Comments are numbered, corresponding to yours:
1) Exactly. He's ten years older than you. And considering that you are one of the few ignorant people who think that youth is immaturity, you just gave us a whole new realm to piss you off in! <3
2) Not just in his eyes...
3) And we think of you as aggressive, oppressive, troubled, irrational, hypocritical, imposing, and quite frankly annoying, so we're on even ground there...

Now starting with the hyphens!
- Because he was born in the 1970s means that he can't like Vanessa? What's wrong with you?
- Once again, he's been on the website since 2002. That's four years. See, 2006-2002=4. Good job!
- Hence the whole "you have insulted my reason for existance.
- Did the thought ever cross your mind that maybe a judge from your Toshiba competition was an Applications Engineer? But, congradulations, that's not an easy competition to get into.
- And I'm a Freshman and I'm taking AP World History. Yay for you! You used common adjectives in a paper!!!
- Honey, it's not just you! If someone else decides that they want to spend...I forgot how much. I dunno, who cares! It was somewhere in the thousands...on Coach purses, than we'd probably start bitching to them too.

Oh, and SAM!!!! Hey hunni! Do you wanna go compare waist sizes later!!!! OH MY GAWD![/color][/b]

Do you not understand everything I keep trying to say? Youth is not ignorance. And Coach purses should not be your reason for existence, considering how ugly and expensive and unnecessary they are. And I don't think you realize that I'm not trying to be a peer mediator at all. I'm trying to help one of you, not both of you.

<3 U ALL!!!!!! Mwah!

As I was reading through this forum, I was all ready to respond to the actual topic.  But, I soon realized that this forum had instead turned towards how ignorant whitehouses is.


I'm going to have to agree with Ryou-Neko (cool sn) and Grakthis (another cool sn). I think Whitehouses needs something better to do with her time than try to defend her ignorance when she should be trying to fix it.  

And what's up with the "kick some poor people"?

In any case, I think Coach bags are for people who are more concerned with the status that comes with the bag than the actual look of it.

Now back to Paris Hilton. BTW, thanks on the compliment.

I like the single. Nothing that I'd ever buy, but it's much better than some of the stuff you hear on popular radio today. And it's very original.

Dear Grakthis,

You seem to be so excellent at giving advice in a way that is not only informative but demeaning also! You have a way of insulting someone from every aspect of their character by trying to prove your own superiority, you could've taught Abby a thing of two about a thing or two!

But maybe your audience would be more responsive if you said something in a way that didn't make them feel like shit.  Stupid shit.

I've also seen how misguided Will is, rather than producing an intelligent well-rounded person like you think you are, all you created was a younger, equally pompous, annoying, sexist, chauvenist asshole  :D
CONGRATS!!!!!!!
I really wanna  go on your super system real fast, sign me up!

I also was curious when I saw that you are an "application engineer" whatever the hell that might be.  I looked it up and got very vague answers ranging from computer tech support to professional brochure-making.  Can you please tell me what exactly it is you do, it seriously is bothering me. THANX

And one more thing, I'm not really sure Paris Hilton would want to carry around a Coach bag in public.  I would imagine she would only use them to clean up after little Tinkerbell or as a barf-baggy when she gets sick on the highway.  

But then again I care as much about Paris Hilton's nausea as you should care about what 16-year-olds say on Nessaholics

Do yourself a favor:

Thanks!  It's hard work... I mean, not the proving my superiority part.  That's easy.  But giving advice WHILE being demeaning and insulting at the same time.  It's taken me years of practice.

But.... they are stupid shit.  The goal isn't really to educate the person I am insulting.  That person is almost always beyond help.  It's to educate everyone else :teach:

I'm not really sure where Will is a chauvenist... but regardless, an attack on him isn't really winning you and points here.  That was more of a joke.  Will and I used to clash all the time when he first showed up.

You're right.  It's a nigh impossible job to describe in one title.

I am a consultant in the manufacturing industry.  Large manufacturing plants (my own customers are mostly automotive, but they include Toyota, Nissan, Ford, Dana, Alcan, Magna, UPS, etc) have information or process issues and they call us and say "we have this problem, how can we fix it?"  And we write a proposal of how to fix it, then they pay us to come in and fix it.

A good example is a project I am doing right now for Toyota.  They have a department where all of the processes are done manually (meaning, we cannot collect data directly from the machines doing the process) but they want to keep performance data on the process, including the operators performance.  So I am writing a system that runs on a handheld unit with a barcode scanner that will be used by the operator to scan their badge, then scan a series of tags on the parts they are processing to indicate what they are doing.  Then we track times, and generate reports.

As a result, the team leader can see which members of the team have the highest performance numbers, and on which processes.  They can set goals for each shift, and track spillover.  They can keep cycle time data for more accurate cost estimates, as well as tracking about a half dozen performance "metrics" that toyota uses internally.  They can even check performance information real time, to see how the shift is going so far.

The job ranges from very interesting to very boring, depending on the project in question.

Have I been talking about Paris hilton?  I don't think so.

Also, stupidity knowns no age bounds.  I deal with it when I see it regardless of where it comes from.

At age 16, I knew better.

P.S. I like the alternating capitalization and the "69" at the end of your screen name.  Those are normally indications of an intelligent and well adjusted person.  It's all very "myspace."

P.P.S. I wonder, do you know what sarcasm is?  I guess we'll see.

A) I'm a girl, so "cliched guy" said nothing to you
B) My screenname was made up by one of my friends out of pure irony, I'm not a "wannabe" and am admittedly a bit prude owing to the "69"
C) Myspace is stupid, not-to-mention dangerous especially for teenage girls like myself, Oprah said so
D) You're job sounds "interesting" but it is definately not my cup of tea
E) I'm not going to defend my intelligence for you for three reasons: the foremost being that we don't know anything about each other, the second being that I consider it a waste of time, and the third being that I am quite content with my intelect even if I don't feel the need to metaphorically shove it in the face of teenage girls on a fansite.
F) And as for your "Stupidity knowns no age bounds" (I'm guessing that "knowns" sprouted an extra "n"), you remain living proof of it.

So how about this, you stop arguing with stupid 16-year-olds and cyber-high-fiving people and I will stop losing respect for the generation that came before me.

How am I sexist or chauvinistic? I've been told by many female friends that I'm the most respectful male friend they have. Oh wait... because I don't like abortion, I must automatically think women are stupid pieces of shit that need to be ruled over by men, for their own good of course! I get it.

Stupid? I must have been really stupid to get into one of the top ranked electrical engineering programs in the country.

You need to have a talk with your friend about not trying to be ironic unless you make it obvious.

Also, technically, that's only ironic if we know you and know that you would never actually use that name.  So, it's kind of like telling us about how funny it was that time you fell down.  It's really only funny if you're there.
