Question: I know you's all love the vines and so do I but most people seem to have an extreme unhealthy obsession you know like I know what the best birthday present doe Craig is and all that shit. But mate they are just people like all of us except they are in the public eye constantly wouldn;t you think they would apperciate it more if you's didn't go stupid on them and write a whole heap of crap. Look I come from Australia and over here we are not as crazy as you Americans and fame to us isn't as important. Really when it comes down to it why don't you just talk to tem like they are normal people because contray to what you might think is [COLOR=purple]that they are just normal people trying to make a living and of course enjoying it.
Well thats all I have got to say just remember they most likely will apperciate it if you treat them like everyone else.

Most of this stuff is just us having fun. We are not really serious about any of this and it's basically us joking around. I'm not denying the fact that some of us are kinda "obsessed"...but it's in a fun way, not an "unhealthy" way (not that I can speak for everyone). And it's not like none of us are Australian anyway. A bunch here are. I'm currently in AU and people here are not that different from the US and UK.

*waves* I'm Australian, and shock - crazy about The Vines . Like Maddie said - we're all just having fun here. There may be one or two nutcases *eyes Jen * but nothing too serious .

and, honey, the stupid and silly can tend to take over here, but we really do love the vines and their music. we wouldn't come to this forum to obsess over them if we didn't. yeah, some of us are more borderline crazy than others *takes out mirror and stares at self* but we hope with time, you'll get to know us better and see we're all pretty harmless characters.

Except me, I'm quite on the looney side and not completely harmless either.

I think you have too strong of an opinion on things you don't even know about.

Most of what we say is just kidding around, and not's unhealthy, here. We are just having fun, and having fun is healthy as far as I know. haha

Yeah, I must say being a complete spunkwit is lots unhealthier than being an obsessed fan.

.. And whats a spunkwit..? haha

Is an answer along the lines of 'the threadstarter' too obvious?

haha.. I know who you were talking about, but I still don't know what it means. I'm pretty slow.

I'm not too sure either, I made it up once. And started using it recently because it does suit alot of people these days.

Let's just say it's someone who's beyond twattish.

ohhh.. I see.

Making up words is fun, especially when no one knows what you mean, because they can't get mad at you for it.

Gee thanks..

Yeah, not all of us here are even all Americans. There's also England, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Mexico, Ireland, and some other places, I forget.

But that's not nice. Stereotypical. Ethnocentrism.

post deleted.

all i'm saying is would you act and talk like that if you met them in them in the street? I am a huge fan to of the vines and have been for many years now but when it comes down to it you's are just acting like immature crazy brats. Don't you think celerbrities just want to be treated like normal people and have the same privacy and respect rights? I do

I agree they do, everyone want's privacy, but I don't see anyone here wasting their time stalking Craig, or any other member of The Vines. If we were, we wouldn't be on this forum.

Really, we aren't the ones you should be worrying about. We spend our time on the forum, talking about the Vines, not acctually out there stalking them.

oh and by the way I have lived in America and most of the world so I know what you's are like and also so does my big sis because its fans like you that stalk and harass her because she's in a a yank tv show ok so I do know

I completely agree with what you're saying about how they wouldn't want to be bombarded on the street. But the forum is a place to vent, for all those crazed fans.

I'm upset with the fact that you were quick to blame Americans for all of this. I don't want to get you mad at all, it's just how I felt.

haha.. Smooth.

Well, you don't know us personally, is what I mean. Everyone is different. You seem so quick to say you're different than us, but what makes you think we can't be different from that, too?

Just trying to reason with you. It rather makes no sense, to me..

Not everyone is obsessed here. America's a big country, you can't possibly think that all of us are obsessed crazy maniacs. Yeah, they're are some freaks here who don't understand the word 'pirvacy', but not everyone in America is the same.

Edit: You know what? Forget it. You are entitled to your own opinion about us "crazy Americans" I just don't want to hear any of it. Please, keep your hating to yourself is all I ask.

Agreed. I'm not going to try and change your opinion on us, you're going to think what you want, and thats ok, I guess. Please just don't be so mean about it, calling us crazy...

again i know what most americans are like you's are basically all the same like for example my big sis, myself and my lil sis were going for lunch in la 4 days ago and a group of fans would't leave us alone and chased us in their car. Now we've been to europe and britain and of course aus and thats never happened we ask the fans to leave us alone and they do. It's also like when they sit at the gates of her house for hours and police have to come and clear them away in aus and britain and berlin and tuscany thy don't the fans get their pic and autograph and scoot.

..........and your sister is???

haha.. LA is like the breeding grounds for crazed fans, anyways. Thats where they all flock, so you can't judge a WHOLE country on one city. lol

It's just one city in a big country.

First of all you're coming off as extremely rude and have no right to judge these fans. These are all sweet girls who just really like the band and buy their albums, and see their shows and keep them in business basically. And I have met the Vines before and chatted with them. They are cool guys and were super nice to me. I didn't scream or chase them or grab them. It's one thing to joke about it but quite another to act like a freak. And these girls are not freaks! Well except for Jen.

So why don't you come to NY Honey and we'll ignore you and your "famous" sis just like we do our own kind.

Famous my arse!

no I don't have an unhealthy obsession
even if I drove a half hour to Mt. Clemens yesterday just to park illegally, walk 4 blocks, take a picture of a little city flag just cause it said "Autumn Shades", walk back to my illegally parked car and drive home....

hahaha

Thats not crazy, though. Thats awesome.


You said everything I've been trying to say, and more. Nice job.

hahaha
well when I see celebrities on the street or in a store or club or something I don't approach them
only at concerts

Understandable; stores are their leisure time, and concerts are fan time. lol

exactly

OMG
I can totally relate with your situation! Everywhere I go I get chased by crowds of screaming girls just because I'm an extremely famous movie star. They're always asking for my autograph and the worst part is, is that they never have their own pen! I mean sometimes I just really wish that I wasn't born to be so God damned beautiful and talented. God if people would just not give a damn about artists the world would be such a better place.

Oh wait, what was that? No one cares?

That was grand.

It was, wasn't it?

Yes, yes it was

we're obessed

not stupid

theyres a difference girly

I'm not obsessed.

I'm just fascinated and bewitched.

the girl who started this thread is a real asswipe

I still don't know how posting about something on the internet translates into ambushing the band members on the street . I also don't get what she was going on about here:
"again i know what most americans are like you's are basically all the same "
I have a few American friends and the only thing different about them is that they have US accents. I think it's really offensive how you've gone and clumped everyone together like that.


I don't know if she's an asswipe - but I'd say she's probably a few slices short of the whole loaf .

I dont think she understands, that's the way i see it.

she cant speak english either

she calls more than one person you's

and i thought my english didnt make sence

and also

WHAT THE HELL

alot of the people on this forum arent even american

shes even bunching the majority of english, french, aussie + me and spanish people up and saying "i know what most americans are like blah blah im an idiot blah blah"

At least we can put her into one category --> MORON

it'd help if she got to know people here first before passing judgment on us.

actually it'd help of she learned to read properly


im just gonna be sad to her cus ive been studying for 4 days straight non stop and im in a pissy mood right now..

But do we really want to know her?

nah

haha

asswipe is wayy more fun to say

I think someone needs to take down that "mental people welcome" sign in the front of the forum
