The Lounge What is going on here today? Sep 04 2009

Loved your thread, anewdawn.  I have had the same regrets- after telling friends about CC.  I have yet to understand why so many people on a support site feel that it is fine to trash an entire group of people and their beliefs on such a regular basis.  The "don't read it, if it offends you" advice is silly since the insults often appear out of nowhere.  More and more, I have felt compelled to let my "voice" be heard in those threads anyway- just so folks can start to realize that their opinion isn't the only one out there.  I have greatly enjoyed seeing others on the forums the last couple of days taking a stand, even just to say that some of comments of others are deliberately rude, blasphemous, and unnecessary.  Thanks!

 What I find hilarious is that if you started voicing stereotypes about racial or culture types you would get jumped on immediately, but its okay to voice stereotypes or degrading opinions about religion or religious people because they feel that they are, well, just dumb.

Yeah, the cool kid label fits really well on how the vocal community acts about it here.

Recently we were able to share CC with Facebook - thus promoting CC to a larger audience which I was very happy to do!! 

Today I have a bit of time on my hands I don't normally so I thought I would check out the forums.  There are all these posts about Jesus - all of them appear to be disrespectful and completely lacking in taste and sensitivity.  I get that there is a history to all of this, that the masses are pouncing on someone who has offended them...I get it...I went to high school ...but without actually being here for the start of it, I am so embarrassed to have recommended this site to anyone who comes here today. 

I probably could have kept this to myself or talked about it in my journal but as a member of this site since 2006, I shouldn't have to fear my opinion being put out there.  I miss the beginning of this site - it was so much more kinder and gentler of a place then.  I pray that this day was just an anamoly and is not indicative of what the site's community now stands for. 

Yours in good health,

Roxanne

 

 

 Yeah, I hear where your coming from.  I just ignore it, but its gotten crazy enough that I think I'm just gonna keep using this websites tools but avoid the lounge forum by the plague.  I didn't realize the mentality of what seems to be a majority of the people on it.

:P

I hate my tongue for not thinking carrots taste like twix.  D:

If carrots tasted like twix, far fewer people would be obese, I suspect.

 I think we should give up all this "low fast low cal no sugar substitute this and that" research and focus on a "sock", if you will, that goes on your tongue that you can program to make certain foods taste like others.  Eat vegetables all day and think your eating cake, I could live with that.

:P

Edit:  Well, crunchy cake, but cake nontheless.

Some of the replies it in were pretty funny.  The Buddy Jesus statue from Dogma makes me laugh every time I see it.  :P

The Lounge Anyone have funny sibling stories... :) Lets share! Sep 03 2009

I grew up on a farm where we had a number or horses and goats.  We had one of those electric fences where it wasn't a real danger but it was simply uncomfortable to touch.  Me and my brother used to have little contests to see who would hold it the longest. 

Anyway, that's not the story, but this is.

He was riding his quad one day and he ended up going through the said electric fence at a decent speed.  We were having a BBQ and there was a lot of people there.  The horses were in a different field and the electric tape to the fence he went through was off.  Beyond have it wrapped around him, he was fine.  Knowing the level of shock that the fence gives, I thought it would be funny to turn it on, so I quickly ran over to the power box and turned the juice up.

Onlookers quickly gathered as my brother yelled curses at me, tried to take the electric tape off himself, and then spasmed as it shocked him (it was a pulse fence, not a constant flow), which caused him to drop the tape and start again, trying to pull it off, before another pulse came.  Then they looked over and saw me laugh, standing at the power box, and not moving a finger to turn it off.

Most of my distant family got a real bad first impression of me that day.  :P

Forget about the smoking and start a journey to get your weight under control and start working back towards a weight you are comfortable with (obviously as long as that is still in a healthy range). :P

Smoking for weight control is not a solution, its replacing one problem with another.  :O

I still have a landline and I have never owned a cel phone.  Email me if you need to contact me, when I leave home I don't want to be called.  :P

I don't even like talking on the phone in the first place.  :O

As for atheists, I say that it takes just as much faith to believe with 100% certainty that God doesn't exist as to say that God does exist.  As one of my theology teachers rightly said, "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence". 

That is a very interesting paragraph.  I'm going to have to remember that one.  :P

I do not believe

I think it's just like a cookie jar filled with poop.

Your excited to open the jar but when you do its all turds.

What if it had cookies in it but they looked like chocolate chip, only those chips ain't chocolate.....

That would be worse, because then you might take a bite before you realized something was wrong.

.......just saying.

The Lounge fears.... Sep 03 2009

Yeah, no other bug freaks me out.  My mother told me I used to play with all sorts of bugs, including spiders, when I was little.  I don't remember that, but perhaps I was bit by some point by a particularly painful spider and that instilled a fear of them in me?  Either way, I just know I have the fear. 

Their movement might play a part, but the more bizarre or colorful they are, the more freaked out I get.  Like a tarantula kinda creeps me out, but a spider the size of a penny with yellows, reds, or oranges on it could possibly make me lose control of my bodily functions of it got on me.

I have arachnophobia.  Don't remember when it started.  The more colorful the spider, the more it freaks me out.  I can't even touch common house spiders unless its with something at least a foot long.  If a spider or a spider web gets on me I freak out and usually rip off the clothing they are on, throw it on the ground, and stomp on it.  If it touches bare skin I scream like a baby.  :P

I get all jittery if I realize I was holding something that had a spider crawling around on it, or come close to touching one.  I usually won't put my hand in something that I saw a spider in, or think there is one inside.  ;p

 I don't understand the people that get really up in arms over posts about the stuff.....as I've actually seen today on this forum, lol.

 i hope you dont mean this one......because noone here is up in arms about it.....

and im not asking anybody to argue......i just said what i thought...and asked ppl what they believe.......ive no intention of havn a silly argument with anybody about it whatever ppl believe they believe....im just curious....

so dunno why this post would bother you.

Of course I mean it, however, I'm referring to how people are reacting to each other in some other threads.  I find it silly.  :P

This thread doesn't bother me at all, nor does anything in the other one.  I'm just commenting on what I've been reading.  A bystander, if you will.  XD

Glad to see this thread became fun again.

Also, I think "blaspheme" is one of those words that you just don't hear often enough these days.

Hah!  I use that word as often as I can because its so damn fun.

"Hey, did you try the new tacos?"

"TACO's?  This is a burrito stand?  BLASPHEMY!  *Flips table over and storms out*"

Good times.

I believe in God and I'm a Christian.  I just ignore posts that bother me because arguing on the Internet is like special olympics, even if you win you're still retarded.

:P

Besides, everybodies opinion regarding religion doesn't affect where I'm going or what I believe so why should I let it bother me?  I don't understand the people that get really up in arms over posts about the stuff.....as I've actually seen today on this forum, lol.
