i know! i know! i did it once or twice too, lol! but, it'd be suuuuuuuuuuuuuper awesum if we all went and commented on the threads that are not of our own sun sign...

with the posts being written and the users then stating their rising, everyone can then go and see how it is that they come off to those other people according to the house your sun may reside in, in their chart..

if all the Cancer's were to go to the Cancer thread and share their points of view, it wouldn't really help any, would it? it'd turn into an emotional AA, sort of.

it's like, 'we get it, Cancer!'.. but, 'here's the other person's point of view'

so what exactly is this thread for?? lol

------------------
I once saw a sign that said "sin is death" but if "all deaths are suicide (linda goodman)" and suicide is sin, then shouldnt "death is sin" be more appropriate?

when organic is used to describe food then you know we have come to a dark age in history

I just commented on there. So sad. I don't even care if it's in my own Sun sign, the amount of negativity and close-mindedness that I keep coming across on this forum makes me want to leave. You married a bad seed and now you hate them all? Please.

It isn't even being objective... You date one so suddenly you're an expert on all things (fill in sign)? We all know that's what every single thread topic is going to become... *sigh*

Well for them, what it is is what it is. They don't get emotional or attached to something more than they need to. Like I said: refreshing! :'D

in case you might've missed it, dear:

they are threads based on sun signs
the poster is then posting their rising sign
..technically, it's two signs and that's what it'll be about, and also some houses, of course. but i mean, since you're the expert, i take it you've already beyond realized that once you read about it.

what i'm assessing is that you'd like people to be considerate of you and to not make a statement, even if in general, because it somehow unpleasantly has an impact on you...

yet, you're not being as equally considerate in thinking that these people were impacted in some way by these people and are willing, capable, and open to share what that impact was (even if it had nothing to do with you) because once again, you don't like the impact that it has on you?

following that understanding; i don't see where you even considered taking into acct what 'objective' actually means or if you're familiar with putting it into practice.

the threads aren't the issue.. there may not even be an issue if there was one and if there was, it certainly isn't with me..

in case you might've possibly missed it, i also have my sun in a sign and am making no quarrels about it, am i?

there are 12 threads open discussing that and everyone is equally open to sharing and open to seeing what it is the other people are saying; based on what astrological house they are having impacted by said person's and their sun; i see that as an opportunity to see yourself from 12 different eyes and taking the knowledge gained from it as yours to do with and learn from it..

this isn't even an argument, actually... and it isn't even a situation that i feel i should have to discuss with you more than i already have.

basing anything off of sun signs is bullsh*t and bad astrology. you don't have to condescend to purr because she disagrees with the whole premise of this.

and i've dated a fellow aquarius. we behave vastly different in relationships, despite both being aquarians.

Please don't call me "Dear", and I understand objectivity. I am a Libra Moon, after all. However, knowing this forum, everyone is going to suddenly act like they're an expert on all things [signs]. No one really is, including me or you. I'm just saying that it's just going to spiral into nonsensical arguing as it always does. It's nothing to do with you, I understand what you want to do. But people are not going to do it LOL. It's going to be A LOOTTT of negative, subjective nonsense.

imo, no you don't... because here you are making a statement for other people when the other people haven't stated anything about it themselves.

we just had a new moon.. you don't know these people and you don't know the thread.. people come and go and post here every day and every day there is someone new.

you're making a statement based on your subjective point of view and fail to realize that that is YOUR point of view and not the view of anyone else.. never will your point of view be exactly what everyone else agrees with just like you're not agreeing with mine.

You know, some of us are normal human beings... If you don't like a person, fine. But don't bring sun signs into it unless you've met at least 10 of the same sign and they're ALL THE SAME. God, you people are so negative...

and i think i've participated to some extent in all of the threads since i started each one of them and don't recall anyone mentioning the word 'negative' til you did..

the 'negative' rests with you.

Right, listen: I'm not going to keep arguing with you about this. I've been here for 5 years. I'm just stating what I've seen over the years. And you just proved my point. I never attacked your point of view. Did I? I didn't mean to, although I didn't point out anything you specifically said that I felt was wrong. I just stated that all the topics are going spiral into some eternal argument about self-indulgent rants - not astrology. It's what has ALWAYS happened on here, and it's just the way that it is. That's all.

Love and light.

Negative is an attitude and way of speaking, not just a word. Read again, and you'll see that it's negative. It's indicated through word usage. Please stop talking down to me. It's unnecessary.

Purrr makes some valid points. I've seen some negativity in them, and I have seen you cheer on at least one negative statement, PD. A couple of years ago, we had mostly serious Topics in this Forum, and the Newflakes felt left out. Now we are shifting to less serious Topics, and Newflakes are are contributing more readily. I would like to keep a balance of both. There's nothing wrong with playful Topics. But if these get negative, I will close them. I do find your tone towards Purr to be condescending, and I will give you the benefit of the doubt as to it being unintentional. Cheering negative statements tends to make me think that you are here to stir trouble, and I would hope that is not the case.

If everything is perception, then there are no facts. There are certain words and phrases than can be factually labeled as negative regardless of personal experience or the human condition. Although, instead of fact I should say prediction. Like a weatherman predicts the weather, I am predicting that people are just going to end up arguing.

Within the confines of rationality, there are broad perceptions that the majority will feel in the same way given the same set of circumstances. In that, I agree with Purrr. The basic idea is to accept these Sun Sign generalities based upon an individual's personal experience as just that--personal experiences--and to know that they are not inclusive of all (or even most) of those born under that particular Sun. Taken in that vein, it can make for interesting conversation, as long as no one takes it as literal or personally. I hear bad things about Cappies from time to time, but I don't let it upset me. Taken with a grain of salt, it can also allow others of the same Sign to chime in and explain why the stereotypes do not ring true.
