Category: the Rant Board
O, where do we really begin with this kind of rant, hmm, lets see.
Why does it seem there's always a select group of people constantly takeing the piss out on someone round here? is it always deserved? Come on, lets be realistic here, some people truely do deserve a lot of roodness but I'm really getting sick of good people getting either ran out of publics or this sight because a select group of people just arn't fucking mature enough to leave people that haven't done anything to them the fuck alone instead, seeking to cause drama for the sake of it. Why, I ask you all do you feel this is proper? What the fuck do you think you're bringing to the table when you doo this? I understand if you're pissed with someone and bitch them out or something but after a while it gets old watching the same groups of people virbally kick the shit out of people that haven't done anything to them.
And all the roomers? All the hateful shit people start up just to make someones life hell to drive them out?
Some might argue that if you don't like it you leave but, people shouldn't have to leave the sight just because of this. Come on, a little maturity, a little respect? Am I really asking to much?
Come on people, you don't want to be treated like that, so why treat others the way some of you tend to doo?
You are asking to much. It's not rudeness that gets me off, it's the thought that I have the power to ruin peoples lives and drive them crying from this site that I think of as I masterbate in my loanly dark dank room every night.
lmao, on one hand that was funny as hell but on the other hand I did mean it to be a bit more of a serious rant...
i totally agree james. some people on here are just too fucking rude for their own good. seriously, i have to say, and regretfully too, that most of the people who does it, are my friends, and like, theyre nice people, it's just, they get pleasure from torturing other people. i dont get it. it just makes me really mad. and i try to stand up for people too, and they just shoot me down. and the thing i hate most is doing it, be rude to people just so they can fit in with the "in" crowd. growing in their popularity and stuff. to be honest, i'm not going to respect you and like you just because you can throw around some insults. god, and another thing is, most of the people who gives some of the zoners shit, are people who ahve been bullied before, and now, they turn around and do it to other people. that's the worst kind of hippocracy if you ask me. omg! lol. i'm done
where as i do agree with you mate, you put people from all back grounds experiences and ways of life together. you will never get solidarity in that kind of situation. do you think everyone likes to see war and that kind of thing emulating around the world? of course they don't but you can't expect everyone to get on. its sad to say it but it will never happen. as for this place to many people with chips on their shoulders and who bite easily and lots of anger. i know that i am probably one of the main contributers to winding people up at the minute, but do you seriously take stuff online to heart and personally? i am not trying to justify my actions but wish some people would look at life from a wider scope.
btw hope you all burn in hell, jkjk
joe, you don't have to get on with people, you dont even have to like them or anything. dont like them, leave them the fuck alone. they're human beings, they deserve as much respect as you or i iare ever going to get. and i treat everyone equally, why cant you do the same. they've never done anything to you, why do you like call them stupid and special and stuff. they have feelings. and stuff online or stuff offline, it's still words, and words are poewrful
yeh, I know it will never happen around here, thus its under the rant board but seriously, just because they log in it doesn't mean the cool thing is to give them shit, ya know? Many of us get sick of seeing all the imaturity over shit that doesn't deserve it man. but you have a point, we all come from different places, just one more reason to be respectfull because you don't know where everyones coming from.
This is why I don't like the public notes, to much rudeness. We should try and at least respect each others views. This doesn't mean you have to like them, but why tease someone just for fun? I personally was teased growing up by sighted kids, it got to the point I wouldn't play with my brothers and sister outside for a long time. I almost became afraid of sighted kids till I finally made a few friends that treated me as an equal. Just to bully someone because you can, sorry doesn't make sense, but maybe I am wrong who nose. Maybe I have to many feelings having been faced with a bully in school well, maybe I understand it and think its just wrong. Just my opinions.
It's the zone. It will never change... I myself can not say I am innocent of bollying. I do come on here sometimes, and rant and vent, and what not and sometimes it is taken out on other zoners, but i was more for the fact that i was reacting out of bordom or self anger or pitty. something of the sort. i'd say if you don't like the publics... there are allot of other thingsto do.boards... games... zbp... all kinds of stuff. Public quick notes are not the be all end all. Not everyone is an asshole either. just most of us.
Sadly you're very wrong, everyone doesn't deserve respect, Everyone may deserve the chance to urn it, but they don't deserve the respect by default, nobody does. We're taught as children we should respect this that and the other, but as you grow up you realise that actually if a person doesn't urn your respect on the whole they don't deserve it, so please don't expect it as your god given right, because it's not.
Brian we've almost all been either a bully or bullied at some stage as a child, and most people who study such things would actually say that it's those who have been bullied who will go on to do the same to others later on.
a moto i hear all the time in radio is
its a privalidge not a right.
very true kev, i am not here to agree or disagree with people on publics just give opinions if i feel like and asked. i ask many of you who went to main stream school or lived open lifes to tell me where its all rosey and pretty? it just seems to be the ask here, as kev stated and i have previously i think you need to look why some of the people get abused or bite so easily before you start looking into the reactions.
My comment was not meant to say that you should automatically respect someone right away, I agree they have to earn it, and yes people can be a bother, hell I have been an ass a few times, and I had to earn some trust back. But to me it does seem sometimes people are bullied right away. Its just my opinion. I can say my personal experiences were very bad. Just my thoughts.
hmm, good points there Kev, you arn't born with the god given right of respect, but there is a difference between not respecting and giving people shit when they don't deserve it. I think me throwing in respect in that poste well,wasn't really the right time to use it.
True, there are other things to doo on here sure apart from qn's and its not all the time I have this problem. It was honestly more of a venting kind of thing, ya know?
But, I just wish people would change this about the zone but, I know I'm asking way way to much of over 99 percent of these people here...
the world has always been thus, not that I agree, but if you have unusual ideas, a diffrent outlook on life, etc, you are mocked, that is until those who mock you realise you have a point. there are some notable people who had so called strange ideas who were eventually listened to. some people have diffrent ways of expressing their ideas, others express them in somewhat unusual ways, and get ridiculed for it, until those who ridicule read properly into a viewpoint. some people have dreams that seemed impossible, but became possible. Martin Luthar king for example. all I am saying is look into a person before ridiculing them or their ideas.
I'm the type of person that is nice until I get (or feel I am gettin) disrespected. Well, that's when I get "rude."
Why? Because I am a sick, twisted, son of a bitch! :)
Actually, my take is this:
It's trust that needs to be earned. But respect is kind of different in my opinion. Everyone is born with a right to respect, afterall, they have not done anything by default to deserve otherwise. Until they meet a person and give them a hard time, (meaning bullying and other horrible things) their respect, from the other person's perspective will naturally go down.
In other words, always treat a new person with the respect you would expect in return. It is then up to the individual whether they believe in dishing out what the other deserves if they have done the wrong thing.
hard to explain; hope I made sense, Lol
no rdfriek you were clear. you can respect someone's right to privacy without liking them. if they have done something to make you lose respect for them, then so be it, but before they do things to make you lose respect for them, there is no need to be disrespectful. I might say, for example, that a certain sector of a religious group has lost my respect because of what they did in the name of their religoun, but that does not mean i disrespect everyone who follows that particular faith. i might not like christianity for example, but until indeviduals do or say things in the name of their faith to make me disrespect them as indeviduals, i will not say that some christians have lost my respect. you see.
Kevin, I agree with you completely. The same comcept of earning someone's respect even goes far as being a parent, in my opinion. I am not one yet, but after the way mother treated me as a child, I have to say i have very little respect for her. Shouting, hitting, and just plain nagging is not the way to get things done. Respect the child, and he or she will respect you.
But as far as public quicknotes go, I don't pay too much attention to what's going on most of the time.
I tend to respect people by default if I don't know them or what they're like. If I dislike somebody, I tend to just not wish to have anything to do with them, instead of just harrassing them until they either change to my specifications or just leave. Some people are just full of themselves and seem to act as if they're the only one with feelings that matter. But I try my best to treat others the way I wish to be treated. I have no gaggle of friends or potential friends on here that I feel I need to impress by showing them how much of a cool person I am. The whole lot of ya can take me or leave me far as I'm concerned, but I'm not going away, but I'm also not going to follow you around and make your life hell if I don't like you.
why sit around and wonder about where people are from? every single human being walking the face of this earth comes from inside a female human being, or a test tube. it's really not that hard to figure it out people. Just my sarcastic take on it.
Cam
lol cam.
I have only been on the zone for a short time and most of the people have been nice. But I have read some of these boards and some of the post are so hurtful and rude. Some people have tough skin but those who don't are humiliated. I just wonder if you were face to face if the same things would be said at all. I bet not.
Good point, Roxanne. A lot of people say stuff online they'd never say to a person's face, because they can hide behind their computer screen. I'm glad someone finds the rudeness and immaturity around here as annoying as I do. It sucks, and it's not right. However, the best thing for those of us that don't like it to do is simply stay out of it. The ignore feature comes in handy, and that's also why I stay off publics. That's served me well for a long time. It enables me to still enjoy the site and all the good things it has to offer.
I have no problem telling people how I feel to there face.
It's the Zone it's never going to change as much as you want to wish for it to. Also everyone is different in their own unigue way personality wise so what we think is right and wrong may mean a totally differently thing to them. Which proof of clashes have been seen on the zone because of this factor, so no one can truely agree on one subject, doesn't matter what it is.
Also the way they were raised whether it be them having family issues or g having bad parents or even culture wise may have another impact on how and why they act the way they do but that's their problem to deal with, not ours. All we can really do is be here for them if they ever wish to talk. This is only thinking out logicly I'm not trying to start anything by any means, but this could explain the rudeness or bad behavior in some.
Also Respect is something you have to earn. I don't mind telling someone to their face as much as I hate to how I feel at times, but sometimes it's an option I have to take.
well, this is what I think:
I agree that you should have a certain amount of respect for people by default, and then this respect can be changed as you get to know them. it can go up, or it can go down! And Yes, there are some people on here who take things way out of proportion! It's not right, but that's life, and you get that anywhere! it's not about what people do, because you cant control that! However, you can control how you deal with it! (not a psychologist, ok? Just stating facts) Lol:)
Anyway, That's why so many features come in handy as a way of ignoring anything you dont like. I have met some awesome people on here, and sure, you're gonna get nice people, and you're gonna get rude jerks! That's the way it is, unfortunate as it may seem! You talk to the ones you like, and stay away from the ones you dont, and dont harm the rest if they didn't do anything! And well if they did that's another story! Lol!
So yeah, that's my take on the matter!
And I was bullied too.
And lol to the title! :)
I agree with margorp's first post, Roxanne's and Sister dawn's and Music Queen's first post.
yep, I know about all the ways to ignore it, it was more of a bitch session than anything else.
people are like that on the zone or in real life.
