Psᴇᴜᴅᴏʟᴏɢᴏs [ ɢᴏɴᴇ ] (MuchLikeFalling) I am quite certain they had a decent enough reason to decline the offer, in fact, I looked it up. I am guessing you did not read the reasons why, or perhaps you did and figured they were still idiotic despite it, but they were headed off on a tour, thus they were too busy.

Do not get them wrong, they think well of the White House and their inhabitants, but they were probably just not keen on displeasing thousands and perhaps millions of fans who had paid money for tickets.

I read their reasons and still think they're idiots. I wouldn't want to make fan girls mad either, it'd cause a riot and they would loose a portion of their fans. And I'm sure they declined respectfully and that they aren't just anti-white house.
Think of it this way. You get invited to go to your friends house but you are already having a party or something that day. Personally I'd say I'm busy feel free to join me. In my opinion I think that's what they should have done, asked if the presidential family wanted to accompany them to Australia to see them on tour instead of just saying thanks but no thanks.


Psᴇᴜᴅᴏʟᴏɢᴏs [ ɢᴏɴᴇ ] (MuchLikeFalling) I suppose they could have… but either way, I highly doubt they would have had the time to accompany them anyway. The children might have, but the parents… I know Obama has better things to do than go to a One Direction concert, and not just better things, but important things. Michelle was possibly busy, too.

Though inviting them would have been a thoughtful idea.

Right, they'd probably turn down but it's nice to be asked. But you're right, they did have a good reason to deny because fans are the only reason celebrities are celebrities.
How about we call the discussion a deadlock?


Psᴇᴜᴅᴏʟᴏɢᴏs [ ɢᴏɴᴇ ] (MuchLikeFalling) Indeed, we probably should; it seems the oppositions have just as much of good reasons just as the other.

One Direction doesn't suck. It's your opinion that they suck. Go back to your Classical Music, Wise.

I disagree. They aren't "little boys". They are 17-18 years old and it seems like a LOT of young girls like them.
These "Pathetic Little Boys" as you put it are famous and if they are so pathetic, why is that they have made a LOT of money?

They have very terrific voices

Thank you, Devora. I have question, though. Was I mean or a little too harsh saying that?
I might as well say this now. I'm 48 years old and I LOVE One Directions music. Sorry. I just don't want to scare people away for saying something like that.
What would those "One Direction" boys say, knowing a woman old enough to be their Mother took up for them.

I think you were a bit harsh. I see where you're coming from but the wording wasn't very kind

Ophelia ॐ I looooove 1D!! I went to their concert w/ Big time RUsh and it was sooo good! :))
My fave boy is Zayn, and I think they are all fab singers! I've seen all their video diaries on Youtube, and my fave song of theirs are Same Mistakes, Up All Night, and Moments!

I know, but I didn't how else to put it. I'm a little opionionated sometimes. Don't HATE me because of it, though.

Of course I don't hate you, everyone has an opinion. Unless you're opinion is hating black people or something. Then I hate you

NEVER!!!!!! I'm not prejudice. I had a Best Friend when I was a kid named Didi pronounced(DeeDee), She was a Black Girl. She was my best friend and I wish she still was. I sometimes wonder what ever happened to Didi.
I made friends to any race there was at school. I can't ever imagine shunning anyone.

Why are saying "a Black Girl"? That looks suspiciously rascist to me. you could just say, 'she's black'. i don't know...sorry


Beth ~Mrs.SheldonCooper~ | 5 comments Who thinks that the rumors of Harry and Louis being a gay couple is so stupid?? They're really good friends thats all!


message 75: by Ophelia ॐ (new)

Ophelia ॐ That is so not true. But...Louis. I've had my suspicious that he was gay at one point or another. Maybe his relationship with Eleanor is just a cover, because if all the fan girls find out he's gay...there will be an uproar. I don't know...haha I'm just guessing.


message 76: by [deleted user] (new)

If he's gay,female fans across the world will rebel XD


Beth ~Mrs.SheldonCooper~ | 5 comments Yeah true. But I still like Louis. I would uproar if he turned out gay!

I didn't mean anything by that. I was just saying she was a black girl, that's all.
I'm NOT racist.
Ophelia,I would NEVER say anything RACIST. I'm not like that at all.
Okay, let me start over----slate cleaned.
I had a black friend named Didi that I grew up with and I wish she was still my friend.
Ophelia, I DON'T want people, including you, that think I'm a terrible person because I didn't say something that SOUNDED RACIST, but it wasn't. Like I said Black Girl, not having any intention of that being Racist.
I'm sorry if what I said offended you, Ophelia. I don't want you to HATE me.
It makes me feel bad to think you thought I was saying something Racist at all. I wasn't.
Forgive me and be my friend, please, Ophelia.


★ Mist ☆ Cassidy ★ (rockclimbingirl) | 20 comments I wouldn't care if he turned out to be gay, despite the fact that he is the hottest. The chance of me ever getting to meet him never mind date him is like 1 in 100000000000000000000000000000000000, so it really doesn't matter to me :P


Beth ~Mrs.SheldonCooper~ | 5 comments LOL same here. Me even meeting anyone of them is 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 and soooo many more zeros. I actually told one of my friend's that i'm going to move to England just to meet one of them.

message 91: by Giulia (new)

Giulia I'm not that big of a directioner. I have their Up All Night album but I don't know EVERYTHING about them. They're cool to follow info on cause they're funny. And of course, they're just 18-20 year olds. It's not like everyone that age has got their heads screwed on right.
As for the convo on top. Well, most of the songs in the world are about love as it's passionate and sad. It's what many people can relate to and what you can relate most to about. I wouldn't hate on them just cause they have lots of love songs.
And technically, out of 13 songs. Not all of them are about being happy in love either and if you're annoyed at their preppy boy band tune, they have some different sounding songs like Stole My Heart. My non directioner friends couldn't recognise this as being sung by an artist they hate.
Not wanting to lecture. Just to inform. PS I adore classical music too. There's room for everything on earth. :)
