My question is,has being on hip forums contributed to your growth as a human being,or has it hindered it? Has it ennobled you or corrupted you...Or do you think you are unaffected and would be the person you are today without it?
Unaffected, it all goes over my head Except of course when I want to reach into the screen, drag some twat out and punch them in the face.
I find it has helped somewhat...Although I often type in replies that never get sent...I don't like conflict.
I was hoping you folks were celebrants in the merryment. I have enough serious IRL. I need a place to act stupid and joke around with other folks.
RH, That sounds like a noble cause! For me the jury is still out. I don't have enough free time to really get much out of this forum. It's fun and funky!
I'd say that it has exposed me to new ideas, but I generally learn about things elsewhere since lots of people on here just talk out of their asses.
I had hoped it would have helped me to increase the distance of my brain from the basic level of reality, but most things still go over my head, and my wife is still taller than me if she puts on high heels. So they have been outlawed by an executive decree.
I've met some cool people and had some good discussions here, but I think the forums (and the rest of the internet) has been more of a hindrance than anything.
I'm with PressedRat. I spend too much time here. Any spiritual growth was completely tied with physical setback
But seriously, doesn't any place or group of people you conversate with on a regular basis influence you to some extend. What exactly made me grow or kept me back is not so obvious to state, it can be little things. I for one can not simply give the forums that credit when thinking about issues or matters I have grown in since I was on here. On the other hand I am sure it helped reassure some of my opinions, thoughts and perhaps even principles.
