Have these boards..
Have these boards turned me into a cynical heartless bitch?
Am I the only one who reads threads about peoples serious real life problems and either
a) Laughs
b) Assumes it is a troll or gimmick account
c) Laughs and assumes it is a troll or gimmick account
:/
(Or maybe I was like this all along :/)

I believe most "real life" problem posts are invented rather than real. Thus I do not bother reading most of them. I may be wrong, but I doubt the world will end because of it.

i have a friend who laughs at all misfortune/death/pain etc she hears about... except one case... the Scotsman, 'Ives' in The Great Escape, she was really upset when he died...
she claims she has a 'thing' about Scotsmen but she laughed all the way through 'Braveheart' a few hours ago
/me shrugs
people are just like that... besides, cynical is fashionable...

Sarina, if you want me to start whining how ****e my RL is, I can post a thread whinging about how my family sucks and how my life's generally poo.
But who the **** is interested?

With a good proportion of sob stories being trolls/gimmicks, you can't exactly emotionally commit upon reading someones story about how they were gang banged by local squirrels or somesuch.

Most are probably rubbish, some are probably true. I can't take anything posted on these boards to serious, exept in some cases.

I read this thread and immediately assumed it was a pisstake.
I don't 'regret' it as such. I just wonder why I can't distinguish between bull**** and reality, I still wonder about that thread, I still wonder about Muslim....

I suppose that's the trouble with the internet, though I'd say if you're stupid/desperate enough to bring real, "big" issues to a discussion board you should probably expect to be laughed at.
And I laugh at Muslim whether he's "real" or not. :\

'Cynicism is an unpleasant way of saying the truth'

why be so hard?
Im probably never going to meet any of you, so i cannot feel sympathetic.
But.. if i lose all sense of empathy.. what do i become? **** all, really. People without empathy can **** right off.
So, i dont know if the link you showed is a real situation, or if muslim truly is that ****ed up, or if kaneds thread was real etc etc etc.
I reply with an honest answer to everything, as if it was a theoretical scenario. Whether what i say matters or not, who cares?
Its a ****ing discussion board, we dont accomplish anything anyway.
