My man, cynicism HITS people, intellectuals can do it online without getting a gun to their head.



Cynics are a waste of time, and forums full of cynics are worthless.

I'm beginning to think this forum is not so cool after all.

“All I ask is one thing, and I’m asking this particularly of young people: please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism, for the record, it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”

You might be confusing cynicism with realism...

That's B.S. Misfortune has a habit of striking everyone, regardless of whether they were kind or not all their lives. In a lovely ideal magic world it would be marvellous for that to be the case but it isn't the way the world or nature is :shrug:

This whole thread is a troll and the OP and all his supporters should be banned.



Does that cynicism come naturally or is it a result of experience?

There seems to be a lot of cynical assholes around here who don't realize that their "aggressive" style eventually turns some people off too much to want to continue debating them.

Hey assholes, if you want people to stick with your debate to the end, then don't be assholes. Then maybe they won't give up on you and put you on ignore. Not everyone wants to bother with assholes, y'know.

I thought this was a good forum at first but maybe there's too many assholes.







There seems to be one whiner too many that's for sure. Whining whining whining while life slips away.

What you don't get is maybe your type of poster is not needed  here.
