Well, that's kind of my point. You can't prove it either way. Personally I believe I get one trip and when I die, I die, and my body either rots slowly or burns quickly. And that's about it. But I can't prove it. Based on my beliefs I really should be getting out there and enjoying life rather than moping around feeling sorry for myself. But imagining for a moment that I believe in reincarnation, I still don't have any excuse for not making the most of my life, because I can't prove that either.

My hypersensitive comment wasn't really directed at you, TS, so please don't take it personally.

It was directed at just about fucking everyone on this board, myself included.

Edit: added the "just about"

Oooh, do you have a hate list, too, like Radar? Keep in mind that no reply is a reply these days. As far as "live life to its fullest," LJ, we could always say "Go for the gusto!" - one of my own personal most hated cliche's.

No, I apologise. I am extremely pissy today. The only person I have ever ignored was Radar, but I couldn't keep it that way. It's like passing a wreck on the side of the road, y'know? You just can't help but look. It's a reflex.

No need to apologize to me. I just couldn't resist the urge to pull your tail a little. Probably, I should apologize to YOU. Being put on an "enemies list" does tend to make one want to live up to the expectation, but enough about that.

Well, I think that was rather unsporting, but at the end of it all, you and Sycamore did shake hands like gentlemen (sort of), and I was impressed by that. Neither one of you flounced off to pout like Radar has. Truely, I'm really pleased at the thought of him no longer responding to my posts. One less irritant in my day.

Also one less stimulus to "think" about what you're posting.

Well, I figure I need to apologise to just about everyone I've had social contact with today. Here is a good place to start.

True enough, but that's out of my control. I've never put ANYONE on my ignore list. I'm interested in debating the topics and how can you have a debate if you ignore everyone who doesn't agree with you? In this case, all I can do is look at the bright side. Its out of my hands.

About the living live to the fullest, doesn't it make you think that there are fellow celarites that are underground: hidden from everyone's eyes. remember in the beginning that the cellar asked you to be not noticed and sign in as a guest?

My appeal is to those people that have a posting rate of 20/1year or less. Those people, whom in society might be the working class, living close to downtown. They work tiresly day after day in places like school districts, restaurants, cafeterias, etc. who, because of low income(such as April (IRS)) they have to go to garage sales, Goodwill, The Salvation Army, not to get stuff for themselves, but to get it for their children.

here is my point. People with a nice paying gig, don't concern themselves about living: they often talk a lot(noticeable in the cellar), they think they know a lot(they noticed the cellar and said: "hey, here is a place where I can throw my garbage in"), and in the end, they become the stiff-necked people in retirement homes complaining about the Government, high medicine prices, insurance, social security, their condition, and the modern generation, plus a milliard of other things.

but what about the working class? the people, whom because society has financially placed low, work hard day after day for their food in the pantry, the happiness of their children, and the welfare of everyone in the family. some barely achieve the higher standard and buy themselves a computer and find the cellar online. they think,"finnaly, a place where I can discuss my problems confidentially."

The sad part is that most of the people in here are like the 3rd paragraph. this makes the people in the 4th paragraph to remain silent.

Uh. I may be misunderstanding you, but what it sounds like you're saying is this:

The more money you have, the more you talk.

Could you clarify?

Tomas Rueda · 06-04-2004, 11:25 AM

in Short. Do you greet the people who clean the office where you work in?

perth · 06-04-2004, 11:46 AM

Not anymore, and I'll tell you why. Those fuckers are notorious for stealing shit from people's desks. My colleagues and I have had water bottles, hats, books, and countless other things disappear overnight when they are the only people with access to the building. At least 3 have been dismissed because they were caught on camera doing it. So that's a bad example.

But the statement is ridiculous anyway. To say poor people in this country keep quiet because they have less money is silly. You're talking about the people who never stop bitching about their lot in life, rather than go out and do something about it. The Cellar is the way it is because reasonably intelligent people find a voice here. Not because we all make a fuckton of money (we don't) but because there are other reasonably intelligent (and a few extraordinarily intelligent) people who post here.

Yes. By Name. And the administration is VERY sincerely addressed by and addresses everyone by first name.

But why the hell is that relevant?
