"Mean People Suck!"
Oh how badly I want that to be a true statement. As it may be true in some context, the statement in and of it's self is an oxymoron. How so? By making the statement, "Mean People Suck!" you are stating in fact that you yourself "Suck". Saying someone else sucks is a mean thing to do. Hence being a person and having done something "mean", if the original statement is true, declares the individual saying that someone else sucks, as one that "sucks" as well. Bottom line if I make the statement "Mean People Suck", then so do I.
Darn it! I hate it when people do mean things to others. I hate it when people do mean things to me. I just can't say that they suck. But . . .
I can say, "Anonymous People Suck!"
People that write anonymous emails or comments on a blog in hopes to tear someone else down are mean. I don't do that. You may not like what I have to say on my blog or in my posts on certain forums, but give me credit for not hiding behind the word "anonymous". Yes, I deleted a comment from an anonymous poster today. And in doing so I'm sure to have some people say I can't take critic or that I don't allow others to build into me. A good friend told me once, "If there is no name, then "nobody" wrote it." That was hard for me accept at first, but I understand it more today. If you can't put your name under what you write and accept the consequences for doing so, then don't bother writing anything at all. "Anonymous" receives no credibility in the world. So even if you have valid comments to make, they will not be heard. I'm sure some may question this, but if the person that wrote those mean and ignorant things had left their name, I would not have deleted the post. If they had had the guts to claim the statements they made by putting their identity with the post I would have commended them. Maybe I would have even listened to what they had to say about the post and myself.
"Anonymous People Suck!" No name, no game!

yeah I can't stand anonymity, it goes against a whole bunch of stuff I believe in about being real, and building relationships with people before you have the right to speak into their lives...For some reason I still allow them to post on my blog hoping that people will be real, and share who they are so that I can take their comments into consideration. There is no need to hide behind a mask. The problem with my blog, is I told it not to be listed, and the only other place someone would have got it would be from, posting on a blog, which I don't do to people I don't know, or from my AIM account...so I am pretty sure I know the person...ohh well no name=no body! I am working on that one! You rock!
I take that back, I have my blog as unlisted, even when I post, the only way someone could have gotten it would be from word of mouth, or my aim account...
It's true that when someone honestly "loves" and has something constructive to say that may be critical in nature it is well received by me when it is delivered in love. I don't see how that is possible if that individual is not willing to impart a message from his/her own brokenness. I guess it's not so much that one posts anonymously, but that one uses anonimity to be abusive...that is cruel and unacceptable!
People are taking advantage of it, and using anonymity as a wall to hide behind...People need to start being ReaL! And some people need to grow up...as in be more mature when it comes to how we should treat other people.
Ah, grasshopper
Nobody sucks
Your good friend
Vampires suck.
And I know who you are, so you don't suck! =)
Actually if you want to get techincal, vampires don't suck, they create a vaccum in which the pressure inside their mouth is greater than that of the atmosphere, and technically it is blown into their mouths....why did I take 2 sciences my senior year, someone tell me why!! this is what happens to me...ahh
