What the hell is up with people being so high-strung lately?

I never thought it could happen, but even a thread about Mayte being in a Zima commercial has turned into a racial argument. Again. disbelief

People need to lighten up! hammer

Maybe this is the wrong forum though...

Hi.
I'm posting the first response on my own thread. nutty


Just thought I'd put that out there.

If anyone wants to make this a "happy" thread, be my guest and start...

I don´t know what the problem is. I know that I´m pretty high-strung right now myself (I even got a post deleted recently). Maybe it´s the fact that there are so many stubborn knuckleheads everywhere that don´t even try to listen to anyone else that gets me going. I mean, there´s even a thread in the NPGMC forum where I´ve had to explain to some people (in vain) that there is nothing wrong with asking things. Yes, for real! Sometimes it just feels like talking to a brick wall and that gets me frustrated I guess.

Some people can't live without chaos and misery, so they make everything negative and shit. A lot of people are generally miserable, so everything becomes a "bitch and moan" campaign.

That's too bad I missed your deleted post.

Is this you lately? ---> wall

lol

I just always get amazed at how the post trivial threads somehow manage to turn ugly and people start calling others racist. Damn, I think everyone on here has been called that at some point it seems.

falloff This comeing from someone called EvilWhiteMale.

Seriously though, good call. It's true of a lot of people. Not just peeps on here, most people on this forum are great. But as I work with the public I see these kinds of people all the time. If they don't complain about something they don't feel satisfied.

Thanks. I'm not getting down about it, it's just frustrating at times because some people really have no sense of humour, or cannot take anything lightly. It's almost as if they are looking for something to pick apart.

Although I do have to bite my tongue a lot myself, so I don't say REALLY mean things. But that's when people are really just total idiots. lol
I've actually rarely been really offended about anything I've read on this site, but some people are I guess. shrug

Positivity yes

have you had your plus sign today?

yes

I live with a very negative person ( my mom ) if she is not complaining about something or keeping up drama about something or some one she is not satisfied.

I told her the other day that her outlook brought me down and it hurt her feelings, sorry but that's why I left home in the first place.

she's old now and lives with us and somedays it's really difficult, others I am so happy that I still have her

it tears me apart...cry

Nah, it was just as well you missed it. It was this guy who said he had put me on a list of people he could "do without" beacause I was "perpetuating lies". It was actually kind of ridiculous in a funny way, so I should have just laughed instead of torn him to shreads.

Is this you lately? ---> wall

lol


That would be me, yes. smile Just make the wall a couple of feet thicker and it will illustrate my feeling even more accurately.

Are you insinuating that I´m a racist!? You wanna have your ass kicked!?

Life's too short to be a negative creep.

Racists people are beyond stupid, why bother?

It's a beautiful day outside and I love you all.

Yeah, but the name is actually a product of society's bitterness, so it works that way.
