But just because we dont control those things doenst mean we dont care or think about it. There has been several threads in the past few months where board members have sent out their prayers to the people in the hurricane path. And each time...what happened? The posts turned sour and got downright ugly. That is the exact reason why I never started a Hurricane Jeanne thread...but it doesnt mean that I dont care. Just because I dont feel comfortable talking about the beheadings on THIS board, doesnt mean Im not talking about it on other boards where I know Im safe from crazy posters. Just because we arent buzzing about the election doesnt mean that we arent talking about it other places. Unfortunately, you have to be careful what you say on this board because people will take you literal and turn your threads into WW3. And yes, my WW3 comment is another comment that shouldnt be taken literally.
Using phrases like "Im gonna commit suicide!" to explain how frsutrated we are feeling that day or "I just died and went to heaven tonight!" to show how happy we were doesnt mean that we are downplaying what is happening in this world. We are not disrespecting anyone that has committed suicide or who has died recently...that wasnt the intention behind the words. The intention (and I cant believe I even have to tell adults this) is to show emotion and feeling.
Come on people.....if you are that high strung then you probably dont need to be on this board. So please stop telling us things like "Dont you know what is happening in the world? There are others out there worse off than you. Dont you know that people are dying right now?" Because all I can think to phrases like that is .....DUH!
So for the record.....Pickle Puss does not control hurricanes. Two_Kids does not control what is happening in the White House. Irishlady does not control the deaths in Haiti. Etc, etc, etc.
And also for the record....at least in MY opinion, just because you survived a hurricane doesnt give you the right to come here and put people down (clubbing comment plus meany others that were deleted already). And that goes for anything....if you want our respect and our help, then you better treat US with respect. There is NO excuse for bad manners.

I even control the television remote.
I have permission from the home planet to control the winds and the waters but I let my evil twin Zerteck take over when I was touristing down in Florida.
But I am back in control now the rest of you can relax.
To those of you who are really out there with Jeanne on the way, our prayers are with you. My prayers are with the whole world right now because there is so much chaos going on that I feel it could just implode.
