    why do people on here want to talk about what's wrong with what is all the time. i know i do sometimes too. not all the time though.
    instead of what could be right with what could be?

    i don't mean to be boring myself but this is what is boring to me.

    you know a lot of what we take for grated is what is destroying everything
    and a lot of it we could probably stop doing so if more of us were willing to think about it.

    If your expecting positive upbeat posters filled with interesting factoids and tidbits of information then you're on the wrong thread.

    It's much more interesting to highlight what's wrong with the world, how life sucks, and whats the quickest means (i.e. drug overdose) by which to depart this miserable existence.

    With all the negativity you'd think most of these posters were on suicide watch in some institution :mad:

    Some incorrectly call a Realist a negativity person.

    Reality isn't all positive by any stretch of the Imagination...

    Then again life isn't all that bad.

    Positive spin:

    It was sunny today with a high of 70, the fall colors are really starting to come on, and I did some mountain biking today along the remains of an old indian trail (now converted logging road) also, my girlfriend and I are planning a nice picnic lunch on Sunday near the lake. :)

    Negative spin:

    It was sunny today with a high of 70 (but since the normal high is 68, the extra two degrees could be a sign of global warming) the fall colors are really starting to come on (they're changing about a week early, which could be the result of acid rain finally taking it's toll on our deciduous trees, and the soil in which they lay) I did some mountain biking today along the remains of an old indian trail (excessive logging of old growth forests in the area, has exposed a dark chapter in New England's early Pioneering Phase, in which native americans fled the encroaching onslaught of civilization) my girlfriend and I are planning a nice picnic lunch on Sunday near the lake (The forecast on sunday is for heavy rain) :(

    Isn't there a definite lack of Facts in the positive spin example?

    Going thru Life fat/dumb (uninformed)/happy maybe perfectly fine
    but I prefer to do my own data sorting (censoring)...

    ... but then that's just me.

    I see my old Friend the edit time stamp is working again.
    How freakin sweet...
