Latest moan from you and me, 2015

Is heads positive and tails negative?

 

But, Jiffys don't have purses

Can i butt in here, i'd just like to mention that personally speaking, i am a optimistic pessimist or was it a pessimistic optimistic

 

Ready!!!!!

Positively speaking: you're screwed, mate!

 

Now your talking

 

I am not denying that negativity has a purpose. War has a purpose!

I think you have totally missed my point. I am not denying that negativity has its place just that there is FAR too much negativity!!! The balance is heavily weighed down (literally and otherwise) with the predominance of negativity. We live in a society where the norm is to moan....not to praise.

 

Not in the slightest. I do get your point, but, I will also add ... you are most likely preaching to the (already) converted - hence the resulting banter
Yes, there may *appear* to be a weighting on negativity ... but then I do wonder where you frequent? Because I deliberately choose to go to places where "negativity" plays a minor (and on *this* forum an exceedingly minor) role in focus.
I do have an appreciation for the thread you began with what are we grateful for/in praise of/positivity but by that same token, people do like to be afforded a moment/place where they may express their frustrations at the world.
I would hate to think we live in a world where we cease to value, respect and have compassion for, those times where life may confuse, thwart, frustrate, irritate and maybe even result in angering us.
There are just far too many "rules & regulations" which control our behaviour and responses: we are expected to be saints in waiting - but that is wholly unrealistic: we are human, with human frailties.

In the kindest possible way and with the kindest of intentions - you *do* have a choice whether you read this thread or not. You do not have to subject yourself to any perceived "negativity". You have that freedom of choice

Thank you GC for permitting us (the members) the right to choose and not taking that choice away from us. Another tick in the box for GC (in my opinion).

Just remember: ultimately, GC will not permit a members free choice to moan to mean they can inflict a personal attack, outright offense or any other breach of forum rules upon another member. So, if members have a moan of the day, just so long as it doesn't breach those forum rules, it cannot harm anyone, but may just salve someone's blood pressure (which is a good thing, right? )

We are not obliged to read *every* thread/post

Long live that freedom!

 

Does she??

Does she have wine gums instead then?
