This all reminds me of the movie "Young Guns". But who is Elliot, again? I need to know who's gona be in my club.
I agree that people should watch what they say even on the Internet, but thats just a matter of politeness. I don't care if someone spazzes at me on the Internet, I got retarded PM from a dumb bitch on here about a week ago and I just thought it was hilarious. I say, if you get offended by what someone says on here, be comforted by the fact they would almost definitly not have the guts to say it to your face.
Here's where your logic falters for many of us. You guys all talk about how we're probably cowards who don't talk shit in life because we know people will "react back". Some of us don't care. Not all of us think we're the shit, and we can take anybody that comes our way. Some of us just don't give a fuck who gets mad about what, or what they'll do.
Of all the the things you could've said about that post, and you pick at that? "We" being anybody who talks disrespectfully or rudely to anybody else. "Some" being a part of that group, do not care about the feelings, or response of the person being insulted or disrespected, regardless of possible outcome. Now, do I have to explain it at elementary level or is this simple enough for you to comprehend? I'll try to remember to spell things out for you, since you're appearantly slow.
hahaha there is no way you would have the guts to say that to my face -TRUST ME. Which just proves my point exactly. have a day nice day sugar pie honey bunch, Im going shopping.
Interval I have a problem with your post. Supposing that some people do come here with their last hope in life. How can I be certain that this person is looking for someone to say something nice? Could they not be looking for the truth? How do I know that my post, while harsh, won’t actually help the person? What if a poster comes on here looking for the truth of things, not some sugar-coated-nicety from someone he/she has never met? What if, in this instance, I followed your advice and didn’t give my view on things because it wouldn’t sound ‘nice’? What if, as a result of only hearing fake ‘oh don’t worries’ and ‘everything will be okay’ this person gets fed up with the fakeness of the world and offs herself? What I am getting at is that if we never know how what we say to someone will effect them than why are we so sure that a ‘nice’ thing will always help? If we never know how what we say is going to be taken than shouldn’t we never speak at all?
i have to agree with that. my biggest wake up calls have been when someone said something that i didnt like, but i knew it was the truth. but there is a difference there are people who are just a ass to be a ass, not speaking the truth just being a jerk. that is when there is no truth just meaness
If you said something as stupid as what you said a minute ago, believe me, I would. I make jokes about EVERYBODY in person. My friends, my family, my coworkers, my girlfriends. It's a major part of who I am. You don't know me. You think because you'd bitch me out, or you have a big boyfriend, or youd slap me talk shit etc whatever that I'd treat you differently than everybody else in the world? You're arrogant and ignorant, now enjoy your shopping you shallow ****.
Yeah. But even then, if these mean people get to (it isn’t necessary that they ‘get to’ but that they ‘could’) play savior to one tormented soul, through some wickedly absurd rationale, should they not post what they do in every instance?
Well, I have to say that the support network on the forum is important to me, so I can't fault anyone for posting their problems (I do it, after all). And I'm always willing to lend what little comfort and whatever poor advice I can, which lets me feel like I'm doing something. I have been to therapists and I have to say that most of them are fucking useless. I suppose that if you are wealthy enough to afford the good ones, then it's probably different, but on my wages, the therapy I can afford sucks. I'm sure it's the same for many of the others who post. Sure, sometimes I worry about people on the forums after reading what they post, but that's the price of being a part of this community, isn't it?
Because people get bad reps around here for saying what they feel. But I agree with him too. People are getting way way way too sensitive (and I freely admit that I am one of those people who are too sensitive). If someone got that upset about something that someone they don't know on the internet said, then they are obviously heading for trouble anyway.
