Then explain the context, if you can. If you can manage that then I'll continue this, otherwise I'm going to dismiss this as just another passive aggressive way of going after a particular poster (in this case Aquaguy) in a way to avoid being called out on it. IP: Logged |

Oh I'm sorry I didn't know I was holding public office. FYI this is a forum where people can rant and throw ideas and opinions around. I'm NOT sorry for ranting about hating words and not being 100% CRYSTAL CLEAR. Thats just ridiculous. quote: Originally posted by PixieJane: I said how it came off to me and that if it wasn't what you meant then you should be clearer. What's tripping me up is that you say people lie and are fake and if Aquarians can't handle that then they're blind which sounds to me like you think it's okay. Then you compound that by saying it's ridiculous to judge people who are caught lying and that "words mean nothing." That sounds like you're saying it's okay to lie.I can agree that actions count more than words and that not everyone is always honest, but you took it beyond that and said people shouldn't be judged if they're caught in a lie and that what you say ("words") don't count. If that's not what you meant then you should be clearer.

What's ridiculous to me is that you think you can rant and criticize but it's outrageous that others would do anything even remotely similar to you. If you can't handle criticism then you should avoid criticizing because dishing it out just makes it much more likely you'll get it served back to you. And to think, I'm not even ranting, and I was actually trying to help with my first post (don't worry, I'll try not to make that mistake again). IP: Logged |

Thank you, PixieJane. Also, I don't understand what is not being understood about "I believe that actions speak louder than words." I think that I as well as many of the other Aquarians here have said that very clearly, and everyone is arguing against us saying that we don't believe that even though we keep saying that we do. The only thing we're adding is that words are not meaningless, and that's exactly what most of you have said you believe too. Another thing that keeps being said is that lies are good to tell in certain cases. I AGREE. In my first post on this thread I wrote the exact same thing. But when they harm other people lies are bad, and I hope we can at least agree on that. Perhaps Aquas do like to argue a little more than most signs, but we don't like lies; that's the truth. And saying that "words are meaningless" comes off as a lie to me because, as PixieJane said, this entire thread would be completely meaningless, everything in the OP would be completely meaningless, and anything in words would be completely meaningless if words were meaningless. So, if the OP didn't mean to say that "word are meaningless," then it needed to be more clear. I felt as though this was an angry message to all Aquarians saying that words have no weight at all and that people don't deserve to be judged for lying. Sorry if that's not the case, IP: Logged |

If words meant nothing, why are we on here talking? That would mean everything we're saying is worthless.Words DO mean something. How will we learn from one another, communicate effectively, etc? Words are how people express their thoughts and opinions about something. What they say does indeed define them. Going by this logic, if someone were to say they want to blow up a school, rape a woman, hate a particular ethnicity (being prejudice or racist) and then saying he/she will attack them when they see them, just because they're that ethnicity, then that would mean nothing, right? Lol. (some dramatic examples there, but you get what I mean) Just because that person ends up never committing those crimes, doesn't mean those words are worth nothing. If that person went around saying that, a lot of people will hate or dislike him/her, be wary of him/her, consider him/her evil, etc. And then this will all obviously have an impact on that individual. He/she may get jumped, put in jail, even get killed, lol. Their words are creating actions from others. I know this isn't exactly what was meant when "words mean nothing" was said on this thread, but really? They mean nothing? Lol. Actions speck louder than words, sure, but words can create actions as well. A person's character can be defined by what they say. Otherwise, why would they say it? For no reason? IP: Logged |

What do you mean?  Yeah, I am not even saying words mean more than actions, but I am saying that words do mean a lot as well. IP: Logged |

That was the OP's idea of the thread and that Aquas shouldn't say it's the other way around, live that way and expect others to be the same that's all. IP: Logged |

There are so many things wrong with OP's post:1- aquarius sun means very little. There are plenty of aquarius who lie, just like any other signs. 2- OP us generalizing aquarius people baed on experiences with a few and not really specifying aspects and placements, which matter so much more. 3-aquarius suns in general care about letting ppl just be who they are most comfortable to be. They stress on individuality not so much truth. If it's an emphasis on the truth, that'd be scorpio. If it is an emphasis on nitty gritty word choice and arguing, it's virgo mercury and libra sun. That's why there's a whole discussion about aquarius mercury being all about "big picture" and hence not/or is exalted 4- we all have favorites. I understand us Aquas are not your cup of tea but posting a hating thread is pointless. Side point: us Aquas don't always vibe with each other either
