Some people are rude, some are direct, no matter what, there are entitled to their oppenion. If someone throws out something in an open forum such as this, they should be prepared to receive points of view from all personalities. This is not some nanny forum where mamma protects you from the bully down the street, we are adults.

There's a difference between asking for advice and the pity-seeking-woe-is-me threads that some people enjoy posting daily.




Oh yea, forgot about those. I do mock those people, because I can. But if the question seems sincere, I generally give the advice that has worked for me.
some ppl do lack CHARACTER but...


I was going more for the commom sense type things. You know, "My girlfriend dumped me because I got drunk and screwed her sister and cousin at the same time. Why is she so upset, I was drunk!"

But still people should be respectful. Its like everyone says if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything at all.


How boring life would be if it were all sugar plums and lollipops. =)

People come to JSH for many reasons, but most people stay for the Forums. I know this is the reason that I am on here so much. I have noticed that when people ask for advice on the forums there is always some jackass that insults them tells them to suck it up, or says something mean. While everyone is allowed thier opinion if you are going to insult someone when they are looking for help just don't post.

And yes I realise that some people would say that I am whining in this post, but I don't care, People need to grow up and just help others instead of making others feel worse.


Obviously you are oblivious to how your "lets all just feel good about ourselves" has brought the level of our society down and have made our younger generations basically incompitent to handle what the "real world" is going to throw at them.

You sound like a person who would vote for taking the game "tag" out of school. In fear that some child would get "thier feelings hurt" because no one wanted to tag them. this was a LITERAL CASE!

Sometime the TRUTH can hurt. It's a part of life..DEAL WITH IT! Life is NOT fair..life is NOT about everyone feeling "good", in life you have "winners and losers". In life you have good and bad.

FACTS are FACTS. This bs mentality in America now, trying to "please all of the people all of the time" as you can clearly see right in front of your face..DOES NOT WORK! Why? Because LIFE IS NOT MADE THAT WAY! DUH!

This is NOT a flame nor is it said out of anger or in a hostile way. It's simple FACT and TRUTH, which you can run and hide and stick your head in a hole and hope it all goes away. But he FACT is its NOT going to.

A person MUST deal with LIFE on LIFE'S terms..not thier own terms. Life will win EVERY TIME!

Wish in one hand..crap in the other and see which becomes real. Thats just LIFE! bigsmile drinker flowerforyou

I said people can have what ever opinion they want, but if they are going to insult the other person, why even do it?

Because it makes them feel better about their own mizerable life.

Yea, PC terms are making the world go to hell. You can't call an idiot an idiot anymore, they're unfortunate that they shot themselves in the foot while playing with a shotgun. You can't call people ignorant, they're knowledge deficient. I really want to violate the person that came up with the whole PC thing, because it really ruins my day sometimes.

Actually this is all a RESPECT thing you will receive the RESPECT back that one GIVES. bigsmile flowerforyoubigsmile

It is not that hard to click off the post if you find it as whinning to some these are real questions they want answered. Why cause they truly don't understand why and they would really like to understand.

We all get down at times and need a little help getting back up. How hard is it really to give a few kind words.bigsmile drinker

Most just need to think before they click that post topic button. And think for just a minute would this be what I would say if I was face to face with this person and they asked this question? How would I feel if it was me asking (it does not matter if you are sitting there shaking your head saying you never would ask it) just think for a change.

There are real people on the other side of these screens reading your words. How easy it would be to put a smile upon their face instead of a tear rolling down there cheek due to harsh words that was said without even a thought.grumble grumble

Ones should treat others the way they want to be treated. Not the way the world has treated you.flowerforyou

There is a human with feelings that are reading your words try for once to sit where they are. You have no ideal they could be on their last hope and you just made them feel worthless. For what your own satisfaction. HOW SAD!!!!noway noway

I thank you for characterizing me as something I am not. I actaully believe that kids should be taught about winning and losing and everything else that just helps kids grow up.

No matter what people say words can hurt, and anyone who grew up getting teased thier whole life can tell you that.

Words can hurt, but only if you let them. If a child is taught that sticks and stones will break your bones, but words can't hurt you, its true. No matter what comes outta some idiot's mouth, until he hits you, it doesn't matter. Once you let words influence your life in a bad way, its off to the looney bin and happy drugs. Life is rough, if it were easy, we'd all be killing each other over who's happier. If there wasn't sad and depressing people, you couldn't gauge who is a shiney happy person.

So your advocating that people should be mean because people are mean already so if you do it its ok becuase you are teachign others how to deal with it when it happens to them again?

Ok, advocating being mean to people. Here's an example that happened the other day.

A guy posted something like "What's the ratio to old bearded guys to fat women?" And then proceeded to insult damn near everyone he could. So you have to be nice and say "well, the ratio is x to x, why do you ask?"
