Stingray 9,441 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 At least now a 17yo is convinced the world is a sick place, so mission accomplished? I quite disagree - that would be a sick mission in itself. I would prefer it give a 17 year old hope. The world is what it is and it is actually less violent and cruel than it has ever been (see reference below). But we only see the now in a world where everything is filmed, spread viral, announced on the news again and again. The age of hystery and panic.

Oops, if you feel lectured about being sick then I'm sorry... not!And get better soon, sweetie! Flus suckStingray as I said, tone and purpose get lost easily on written communication. You didn't understand me at all. Not worth digging the subject though. K and I already understood each other - actually, I understood his point as I had misunderstood him at first.

Oops, if you feel lectured about being sick then I'm sorry... not!@Barbara I mean what the hell? I posted an opinion in 2 sentences without quoting anybody and then you take that as lecturing? Why didn't you see it as a way for me to vent as well? (I'm allowed to vent as much as him or anybody else out here as far as I'm concerned). I then quoted the guy in the next post (which you completely ignored) and took something positive from his words, so that I don't make him feel I'm being an asshole towards him (which is the opposite of what you thought I was doing).Hope u get well soon. My younger bro also got a fever, he's recovering though and seems good today.Can't find a way to download stuff for "Surviving High School". Stupid EA.

Barbara 15,149 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Still, i am allowed my own posts on the subject, right?didn't get me again, hahahahahahahaI meant it's nor worth for us to keep discussing what I thought was happening and if it's a good or bad thing.Now I'll check the yt vids later - when I'll be in bed because I have quite the annoying mouth surgery in a couple of hours. Going to have to feed off ice cream for a few days, only liquid and definitely not everything warm, let alone hot. So I'm going to get ready - by eating everything solid and hot I can now, but I'll check it later.I just meant my opinion on the subject doesn't matter, and that we shouldn't discuss it, but the subject itself, sure, why not?I'm curious to learn how the world today is less violent than it has ever been. That's surprising! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
