...And sometimes people post something about wishing for the best,and then leave it to the eventual circle it has to traverse.
Only an individual can decide for themselves what it ultimately right,no matter what AMAZING advice they receive.

That's all we can do in real life as well,wish for the best,offer good, loving advice and then let the PERSON decide how to better themselves.
An addict never (and I am only using this as an example!)
quits for another-only when they are at the bottom of the abyss do they see how to get back out,and Why they need to get out.
And hopefully on the way out of the chasm there are friendly hands to pull them along.

I have been seeing the majority of stuff since cheeba as been here. But only really started to voice my opinions this year.

ok. Back to Keanu over there. :)

NO! You've been here for a while at least by way of Cheeba, you just haven't posted that often. You're definitely beyond noob status. Now Stubbornforgey....:D

People often tell me, : "You really should be nice, and people would accept you more." I don't want acceptance. I want my opinions accepted, and I recognize that most people will never accept them. I dont care about post counts or how long you have been here, thats all mental masturbation. In the grand scheme of things all that mean nothing.

This isn't to say that I do not genuinely care about the people I've met through the net, but that's incidental. My goal is to stimulate thinking with the opinions I have concocted, based on my own expiriences and soul searching. I am not interested in being popular.

I am only here to sell the truth as I see it, even though it may be a tough sell at that.

No offense, seriously, but most people don't like being "sold" what to think.

I do believe the apathy is killing me.

This place is no longer an extension of our personalities, but has become a warzone for the ideologue.

Those who have been on the forum will appreciate that its audience is getting increasingly obtuse. Most people come here to find a social group, but others do it to leave behind the tedium of everyday socialization.

This in itself is not a problem. What is a problem is how passive and obtuse people on here have become, in part because they deal with other people of the same nature. We literally cannot understand anything outside are own past immediate experience, we judge the world only through terms of our own ego and self-image.

We have become blind to anything but what we are thinking, and our interpretive powers, already weak, are further weakened by a desire to not accept anything they we have not personally been championing.

Seems that I may have contributed to this downward spiral, and I apoligize.

We now return you to "cock slinging"
:p

Sorry cant be taken too seriously.:p :p :p

Who's my little show-off? Yes...YOU. Using all those big words...you little genius, you.
