My threads lost steam?You mean, after 300+ posts, of people thinking more deeply than usual, and considering the EVIDENCE for once? Yeah, the threads are resting now, after a lot of hard work, it seems. Just like most of the threads here are resting, after a lot of nothing. So, did your painting lose steam? Is that why you started this diversionary thread?

No it hasnt HSC. I've got two in the works. I didnt start a diversionary thread. I started a thread to help people laugh. Something we could often use a little more of in life. It seems to have worked for some. IP: Logged |

I don’t have any feelings one way or the other about Nicole Kidman or her wealth or life or anything else. But I found the “joke” about her hands in really poor taste, or let’s say, without class and completely lacking in compassion. It takes guts and poise to go out in public with imperfect body parts, knowing that *someone* is going to make snide cracks about it. My hands look worse than hers – it doesn’t look quite like the psoriasis (a chronic condition) I have on my hands, but close. Does anyone realize how hard it is to hide your hands from those who will judge you for fun, unless you wear gloves all the time?? I guess it’s OK and even encouraged in this culture to sh!t on people you don’t like, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it or participate in malicious, sarcastic "comedy" at the expense of others. Doubt if I will even look at the link T, if this is the kind of “humor” and "wit" found there -- I don't see anything "playful" about this example.....IP: Logged |

AGAINI will say you are a hypocrite, I don't care if you don't see it. You are not capable of dragging yourself off your high horse long enough to see your own bs coming out of your mouth. Get off the pot, get off the couch and get a life, Stephen. How's that for some "harsh reality"? Anyone who has a mind of their own and wastes their time reading your dribble will be able to see for themselves that you are full of it. Maybe you have a big heart or whatever, but you are just as capable of attacking people and being cruel as anyone else. ADMIT IT YOU LIAR. I admit my **** . I am not in the best of positions, but I did it, I'm dealing with it, and so are those involved. I'm not spamming a website with crap about killing myself and then trying to justify it as bringing deeper thought to the masses... what a load of crap that is! You are patterns. You go way out there with your cruelty and attacks on the innocent (loosely used) and then scratch your way back in everyone's good graces by manipulating what you've said to make you look like the good guy. It's so obvious to me, it's laughable. Reminds me of somebody else who used to post here until he was caught at it.. Scorpio moon I believe. I don't have a theory, btw, and good for your best friend that he hasn't wandered away from you after one of your tantrums. IP: Logged |

OH, and BTW, there's some honesty and truth for you. My deeper thoughts on the subject. Go on and sling your mud and make me your target and get everyone to hate me for calling you out, becuase I'm such a cruel and awful person. Yup. That's me. I just can't sit here and see the things you are saying and keep silent about it. There's my balls. Go on, show me yours. IP: Logged |

For the record, T, I don't think you need to explain yourself. I agree that his humor is witty and am also not taking it too personally. Yes, everyone is entitled to their own humor, no we're not all going to agree on what is humorous, but that does not make people who can read things like what he has written and get a little laugh evil or malicious. If we were to blow up the picture and stand outside her house with giant papier mache corpse hands and giant tubes of Aveno, yes, I think we would be malicious. Just saying, I understand you, girl. And hope that whatever weird transit of miscommunication and people taking serious offense passes soon. You know what feels really good, I've just noticed? Not sugar coating! Very freeing.

You're so smart, T. Did you see her post coming, too? And, no, you sound perfectly composed. Maybe thats what I find so disturbing about you? If you said this stuff in a passion, maybe then I could make sense of it.

Yes, I did see post like hers coming after you opened the doors. I have an idea of certain others out there who think the same way but just don't bother speaking up. I thought it might be nice to explain to people how because some people find humor in this doesnt necessarily mean it's for the reasons that you others are thinking. Get it? I dont expect you to fully make sense of where some of us are coming from by the accusations and insults you threw out earlier. But I thought I would try. It's clear we are on different pages here. You either get it or you call us "bitchy" and other names. IP: Logged |
