Why all the hate here?

I've only been here a few days but I have seen so many threads where people are putting others down. Sure, I have seen some pretty stupid things said; but I would think that a community like this that there would be more support and encouragement. There are better ways to share your opinions or disagreements. What happened to peace and love?

 

Look around a little more! There's plenty of love flowing between the members on this forum. Of course not everyone's going to agree all the time, differing opinions makes the forums interesting. And the people hating on each other probably have nothing better to do but upset the nice balance we have here.
But don't worry! The love is flowing...

 

Thats life. Its everywhere. You cant have love without hate. But dont be downheartened there are plenty of loving relationships - not just bf/gf.

 

what hate? i think your mistaking stupidity for hate
sometimes there are differing opinions & then when they cant make a point they just attack wether its spelling or personalities or whatever the attacks are stricktly a deffence mechanism to avoid feelimng stupid
but i dont think theres really much hate around but there sure is a ton of love

& love ya for makin this thread & givin us a chance to love even more

 

i'm new here and i just want to say to everyone.

 

say what toeveryone?
heehee


hey we still love eachother round here sometimes we tease sometimes we get frustrated sometimes we feel like we need to scream to get our point across
but is it hateful or loving to shake someone scream into theyre face & tell em they gotta stop what theyre doin (or whatever) if itds for theyre own good?

its a big community full of imperfect people & sometimes what looks like hatin culd be tryin to help any way that we can

sometimes people need to hear what they rather not hear (not directed at anyone or anything just random stoned thought)

 

It's just grumpy old men The rest of us are cool.

 

Grumpy old men,eh?You may have a thing or two to learn,youngin'.

 

Hip Forums is not utopia. Some people just haven't learned yet that when they hurt others they hurt themselves. Just don't play their game. And if someones rude to you for no reason, report their butt. That's what the little red triangle at the bottom left of each post is for.

 

A lot of people who say they're hippies ... aren't, and they post here anyway. I'm glad because maybe if they hang around they'll see the light, embrace a loving attitude and find peace in their lives. I've never known a real hippie who hated, but we all have our grumpy days. 8o)

And, welcome! You're one more hippy to help tip the forums toward a gentler place.

 

some people just don't know how to vent and/or get rid of their anger properly so they let it out on other people. they just need to learn how to count to ten. it helps, a lot. that got me through anger management and look at me now...i'm a success story!
hahaha.

as for you...welcome to hipforums, although your first impression hasn't been the sweetest, i hope you come to love and cherish this place as much as the others and i.
*hugs*

 

Thanks for all the kind and loving responses. I understand differing opinions, and I think that it's fine for people to disagree. I just think that there are better ways of going about voicing our opinions.

With that said I've also come across a number of people who are filled with great insight and wonderful things to say.

I may be a young hippie, and I wasn't around in the 60's but I think a few people around here need to read up on what it means to be a hippie.

Oh, and soaringeagle, I have thouroughly enjoyed your posts so far.

 

No pleasure without pain,no love without hate. They're like jing and jang.

 

I think the problem may be non hippies joing the site just to bash hippies... or just hippies who need to work on controling their anger... none of us are perfect after all... we all have our faults and need to work thro them... and better ourselves... oh and btw lizzie: *hugs*

 

Do the strand love,
When you feel love,
It´s the new way,
That´s why we say,
Do the strand!

That will end the hate.

Yesssir.

 

I agree but I think your mistaking ignorance for stupidity. Their is a difference

 

Ah but while ignorance can be harmless, stupidity often leads to jealousy, jealousy leads to hate, hate leads to bitching on internet forums.
