I want to be serious for a moment.

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.

What you say does have a lot of bearing in this forum. Part of it (albeit a very small part) has to do with the fact that you're a veteran. The rest of it goes to the respect you've gained from the opinions and thought provoking insights you give. (I almost typed "insults." That would have been a scream:D )

Keep talking, Creeper, I hear you.:)

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

I think he means that he is offering his views in hopes that others will accept them. A tough sell, meaning his views aren't as enticing as some others may be. I also agree with Haunted.

I don't get on as often as I'd like sometimes, but I've always appreciated the spectrum of views and different posters HDC has to offer. Like a good movie, it's all about the characters. :)

I got what he was saying, I just think the wording made it seem odd.

The way I read it was that his main goal is to tell people what he thinks about issues in a harsh manner (because being nice is fruitless) in hopes that people will embrace and accept his ideas... even though that's near impossible because nobody can (or will choose to) understand them.

I'm not trying to be a dick about this, its just the interpretation I got out of it.

I guess everybody has different motives but the only thing I really came here to do is discuss horro movies and maybe sometimes engage in a bit of off topic discussion. I have only 2 friends that are into the movies I am, the rest of my friends are great but I'm more likely to watch Football with them on Sun. then I am Masters of Horror. Anyway, I don't usually try to step into deep discussions unless I see something worth biting at. I feel sorry for anybody who comes here to leave it all behind because in essance this board is fifty percent of what conventional society is anyway. Oh well, years ago a friend of mine took a couple geltabs and smoked a bowl and I'm pretty sure we had a conversation similar to this involving bars. I just smacked him and told him to shut up and get to class because lunch was over.

Nothing we perceive has absolute value; reality exists, but beyond its inherent meaning to us as our physical existence, it has no significance outside of what we perceive.
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"

Sorry cant be taken too seriously.

Or in more simpler terms: net nerds need the safety of their PCs to truly feel "alive", such is their obvious and resentful detachment from society and "norms".

:cool:
