Some people around here need to grow up

[jamimb]

A peace maker after my own heart!!

Sometimes there are threads that hit a nerve and I'll write a reply, only to read it, erase it, as I remember it's not 'real life'.

Many seem to take cyber way too seriously and seem to forget what this Dis board is all about.

Ya must have that sassy red lipstick on girl!!

I am really sorry if this offends anyone but I just had to say my piece
I am sorry but the OP's original poat was ANYTHING but peacemaking it was griping at its best. It may have been worded nicer and more grown up than some posts but was still judgmental at best! I have to agree there is alot of childish behaviour here sometimes (I am embarressed to say I have participated from time to time )but coming here and griping about it seems kinda childish. Just ignore it!

I have to agree and I really like Tina and I think she posts some great stuff. I don't read any of the political threads so I can't say what goes on there but if you don't like what someone is saying then step away from the thread. I know sometimes I cannot help myself and I respond to something that I think is nasty, but to be honest, if presented with the same situation IRL I would pretty much do the same thing. I don't think that everyone has to only post things that are pixie dusted. You can have your opinions. Namecalling is of course rude but you will meet people like that in real life. You will also meet people who tell off color jokes, who think they are entitled to everything etc. The list goes on and on. Part of what makes our world so interesting is that everyone is different. You don't have to like everybody and they don't have to like you. These boards are no different. They are tons of people with different opinions, different walks of life, and different experiences. To be honest, sometimes I do think someone is a butthead. I am sure there are plenty of times that people think that of me. The whole world will not always have the same opinion.
Anyway, it is nice Tina in that I understand what you are trying to do. Again, I really like you and think that you are very smart, and post a lot of great things. I just think this post was a scolding post and to be honest, I think it pretty judgemental.
So I hope you understand that I am not trying to be rude to you at all. I know your intent was good.

I for one, find it amusing. Seriously, I sit here and I read things that just make my jaw drop and I chuckle. I am amazed at how people can be so full of themselves, judgemental and perfect. The number of perfect people here astounds me. The cruel and stupid things people say to each other also amazes me, but again more often than not it amuses me.

Tina, I think you are right, but IMO it will not change and it certainly is not worth letting it get to you. There will always be know it alls, idiots and people who are just plain ignorant, especially when one can hide behind the anonymity of a board like this.

Wow!!! ITA!!!!

Hugs, Tina... I've always liked you!!

Maybe we need a dis time out thread. You start acting like a child and you are limited to one thread. I think it should be "it's a small world" thread. You have to listen over and over to the song and think about your actions.

There are people on here that think they have it all figured it out and that it's always the other sides fault. There is finger pointing and tattale telling and the broad stroke of brush.

These people aren't part of the solution, they are part of the problem. Until we are everyday Americans recongize that we are the people that make this country go up and down, nothing will change. Name calling and childish gestures show nothing but your personality. Grow up and start making a difference. Get out and learn about other Americans and how we can make this country better together. Maybe you'll meet someone different from you that will turn your light bulb on that because someone is exactly like you doesn't mean that the person brings this country down.

I'm not attacking anyone at all in this thread. I hope it's food for thought ir just a pacifier to shut up some of these people that think they are right on both sides.

Absolutely!

I feel like I walked into the room and have no idea what everyone is talking about. Guessing I missed something today.

Ditto, sounds like Tina is ready to push someone in the lake again!

 

[LovinPooh]

I was thinking the same thing just yesterday. There is always someone out there that is ready to pick apart everything you say because they are right and no one else is.
Too many 'debbie downers'

to all the great people on these boards!

 

[Tricia1972]

Can we make this thread a sticky?

Wouldn't that be nice?

Well said Tina - thank you for posting

 

[Planogirl]

Tina, well said and thanks for saying it. You certainly have the right to state your thoughts, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I doubt that it will help though.

 

[Stacerita]

Another reason why I like Tina.

Only you would look for a picture to go with the topic!

Ehhh. We're Americans. Arguing back and forth to the point of blows over politics is something we've been doing for the last couple or three centuries. It wouldn't be America if we didn't argue about politics. It, not baseball, is really our national pastime. If anything, we've become increasingly civil in our arguments. Rarely do political arguments call for dueling pistols or end in knife fights these days.

It's what we do and it keeps us from worrying about things that really are stressful, like why does the toilet keep clogging up, even after I snaked it? Is there something wrong with the plumbing?

You've got a good point.
