Do you miss Kitten Apocalypse?

MrX
I'm here precisely because it's fundamentally a supportive community. I've seen enough mean-spirited behavior for my life, it doesn't interest me anymore. It doesn't bother me much that people find it boring here. Considering the pool that gamelive drew its members from, this place is a remarkably safe place to be yourself and not be made to feel like shit about it. I will acknowledge that that is my experience, and maybe some others have been ridiculed for being themselves. Even some of the people that I like a lot here are occasionally meaner than I'd prefer. I can't imagine how boring this place might be to MonkeyF0cker if I had my way.

I guess I didn't realize that the intent of this site was the Ineedahug.com "gambling" forum. Name change perhaps?

Allow me to elaborate on what I mean by the clique being so much in agreement. Let's say a topic like capital punishment comes up. Here is what I envision...

MrX: I don't think anyone should die. We should try to preserve life.

Bread: I couldn't even kill a rabbit.

Kato: I agree with this ^^

Daft: MrX has such a big brain.

What a substantive debate.

Maybe it's because I come from a different background, but in college, my friends and I would have in-depth discussions about pretty much any divisive issue or current affair. That seems to have stuck with me. Sometimes we'd simply play devil's advocate to further our own stance. Other times, we'd have genuine intellectual debate. I just don't see that sort of thing here. Not everyone can agree on every issue. Yet, at no time do you see any type of individual stance on any issue by anyone who seems to cling to the clique of posters here. If you're intellectual, MrX, you cannot possibly think that conformity such as this for the sake of "support" is a good thing.

Monkey you should probably stick to philosophizing with your real adult friends. It's obviously not going to happen here. There are no adults and no real friendships.
 
I'm about 13 pages behind, but am I correct in the assumption that people are getting mad over hypocrisy and now it's personal jab time?

Perceived hypocrisy vis--vis people who fly all over to meet each other. It's a complex issue Teela. Teela do you deal with special ed types or know someone who does? Halp is needed here.

Amby: So I just act like a dick no matter what?
MF: Absolutely. And you can punctuate your non-points with repetitive name-calling. Trust me on this.
Amby: But what if I actually agree with the topic at hand?
MF: It doesn't matter. Do you want me to teach you or not, genius?
Amby: Oh man this sounds hard.
DG: This guy looks like Bob Hoskins with a military cut. Weird.
Amby: So no matter what is posted, I take a minority angle, right?
MF: Absolutely. It might be wise to also employ some reasoning behind your argument, no matter how absurd it may be.
Amby: Rea-so-ning? What that?
DG: Almost time for another $15 drink! Yay!
MF: Actually you're right. Fuck reasoning. Just attack, insult and repeat.
Amby: Hahahaha you're funny. I like you. Yoo are my fren.
DG: Amby, it's time for us to go to an uppity overpriced Vegas club now!
Amby: OK babe we'll leave in a little bit.
DG: No, we'll leave now. If I don't get my way I'll have us back in our hotel room by 10 pm again.
Amby: :surrender: :chained:
Amby: Hey MF I gotta go. Wanna come with us?
MF: Nah. I'm going to go hang with my real life friends.
Amby: By "real life friends" you mean "strippers" don't you?
MF: Yea.......yea I guess I do :light:

Matty,

Can you explain to me why you didn't partake in the anthropological discussion between myself and MrX? You made your typical snide reactionary remark in the thread. Why didn't you voice an opinion?
 
Teela, I'm not a member of any clique' and I have never been invited to the "Super 10" circle jerk but I vow to post a picture of your look-a-like if ever I find one on Craig's List offering "special" exchange for a Man Maid.

Just warning ya.

Quite enjoyable.
 
I still believe we need to break this thread down to smaller threads. Hope everyone can get along.

On a different note according to the BMI I'm obese and 50 lbs overweight. Apparently they haven't figure out a way to account for muscle in the index. Oh well..No one ever dared to call me fat in my face. :rotfl:
