Perhaps because, as a whole, we are accepting of lower quality.

As far as products go, it seems that people are more concerned about the money than the quality of the piece. Furniture is shoddy and cheap and we're buying it up because of that. Everything is put together in a hurry, at the cheapest rate possible, with the least expensive materials and because of the price tons of them will sell.

Sort of the same thing with music. It's being accepted. Use a beat and not have to pay a band. More money in the bank and when that singer fizzles out, big deal, dress up a new one and throw them out there.

If your options are crap, it gets tiring to try and find the quality in there somewhere, and eventually you have to take the best of the crap you can find.


I agree....You do have little to choose from...but like you said you do get tired of looking for quality but some just don't bother even looking. That is what I don't get....At least try....


Maybe some care more about quanity rather than quality? I don't know...

I guess I should have worded this more carefully....I don't mean mere generation pop culture gaps like Britney Spears to Madonna or MJ to Usher....I mean even in the "Good ole days" this has been going on. I mean people settling and hyping things and people who don't deserve it and only because they are too lazy or afraid to wait or go out and get quality. I mean this explanation for regular 9 to 5 ordinary men and women. It seems now more than any other time I can remember people are accepting just anything thrown at them, and in turn people are not trying to produce better efforts since half assing it is accepted.

Let me use the Org as an example....there is always an old school orger who remembers this place being a whole lot better than it is now. Better threads, more creativity ect...ect...This is based solely on their perceptions....For some peeps things back then sucked ass compared to now....and this topic will always have it's naysayers and those who believe times were better. My point is why don't people realize that if you stop accepting inferior things and people that eventually the quality as a whole will improve? Once those bringing crappy efforts to the table see that "That's not gonna work" then they will either quit and someone more qualified will step up, or they themselves will improve.

I didn't read your entire post, but I agree that you can never have enough of these...

excellent thread. seriously.
it asks a very good question.

in life in general
(& on the org in particular)
the sad thing is, after someone asks a legitimate question like this
very little - if anything - changes

because

once a standard gets lowered (=people accept "more crap")
then it's VERY difficult to raise that standard again.

Crap music, Crappy men, Crappy women....Just accepting inferior poop....I see men and women hooking up with and chasing people when they surely can do better somewhere else. People accepting shitty entertainment....It just seems back in the day there wasn't as much bullshit as there is now. If some one ran into some crappy ass product or person they were dealt with properly or ignored and that person or the creator of that product had to get their stuff together. That seems to not be the case nowadays....It's very dissapointing....

I have the answer for crap movies: they are all made for adolescent boys nowadays, and have to gross millions in the opening weekend. actually that doesn't answer your question, though confuse why do we accept it? because there isn't much alternative. Crap men? again, by the time a woman has done the career thing and is ready to settle down, not so many fellas to choose from. Crap music? because to get a record deal these days you have to be on a TV soap, or a reality show, or famous for some reason already = crap.


Sorry for the late response....(im pretty busy at work today and sneaking on is difficult on Monday's) I hear what your saying....circumstances differ for everyone...Im just speaking in a general sense....

I've been cured though, no more stupid ass bitches for me. Sometimes unexpectedly being confronted with the harsh reality works wonders. It hurts, but you snap out of it rather quick.

As far as music goes, well, it seems people would rather listen to some new crap than something which they don't know either, but is old. I don't think it's something that didn't excist in the past though. It's just that once we were the stupid kids who enjoyed it ourselves. wink


You saaayyyy your swearing off the stupid ass bitches but you know you will be back....hmph! wink

Yes I agree completely....I very seldom ask legitimate questions (out loud anyway) or conversate on this level much cause people are going to do what they want regardless....Im not here to change or convert people to my thinking (thats how I see it anyway) So I don't even bother....Rare for me to post something like this indeed...hmmm

Because people live in the age of disposable everything, including soundbites and relationships, and they're too lazy to think for themselves. It's an American thing. I blame Jack Tripper.

Sinister, it's cool that you put something like this out in the forum..
you know how some people try to peg you as a "photo whore" or "attention whore" or a "fill-in-the-blank whore"..
a thread like this shows those (who don't already know) that you can put out something like this.

then, while you may not be here to change or convert people to your way of thinking, a thread like this minimally will give those who read it something to think about, or a chance to (re)examine their own way of thinking on the subject. this is a good thing.


I had another thought on this topic (& someone else may have touched on this before me now) :
the "convenient" thing about "accepting crap" is that it requires less thought & less effort & less time, & it goes along perfectly with this attitude of "instant gratification" that many of us (with short attention spans) have.


again, a solid thread here.
I'll see you tonight..

Yeah Im never serious or relevant when I post here and that is done on purpose...I come here to be silly since I spend life offline being serious 90% of the time....The org is my little vacation from reality... Yes I do suppose instant gratification is definetly a culprit....But as our elders pass on and the next generation takes over I see many people not knowing what quality even looks like cause it's going extinct....Just seems to be growing worse with no signs of improvement...Very sad....

yes why do people accept crap cause they don't consider looking for anything better
There are not enough people questioning themselves about the crap they take or recieve.
Say no to crap, if u don't like something stand up and say something otherwise you will always be crapped on
Thanks Sinister for this thread hug
