Was I extreme?

[AnomalyLady]

I wanted to make a thread to allow for people to post something they believe, think, did, etc and people can respond on what they think.

Please be respectful.

I will start first. Someone was messaging me and he said something along the lines of, “I got off of the apps because there were too many mentally unstable people .” I found this offensive, I have good friends who have mental health issues and I told him I didn’t want to talk to him because of his comment. Soooo, was I extreme?

I'd say you were forceful. People have boundaries.

Wrong forum, playgrounder.

 

[Politruk]

You really can't run a thread here without somebody at some point mentioning mental instability.

I am in the playground and politic board, as are many PBs. It is about extreme or not extreme principals. Is it not political?

Yes, but was I too rash to stop talking to him?

I am in the playground

Stay there.

Is it not political?

Not.

I'm already living in a McDonald's commercial.

Lovin' it.

 

[AnomalyLady]

Stay there.

Not.

I am a human being so I can come and go, as can you, so I’m staying here.

Well, social media does make people mentally unstable. It's not the fault of the users. It's the fault of the people that run them.

Social media has been shown in multiple studies to cause anxiety and depression. It also inhibits brain function by having constant stimulation through infinite scrolling. The brain needs both periods of quiet solitude and face to face social interaction to function properly and social media makes it hard to do both.

I agree with you. Do you define Lit as social media?

Thank you for your input.

Probably. If you want to participate here, you just have to put up with certain things. I only put a member on ignore if they consistently have nothing of interest to contribute.

Ok, next topic for anyone who would like to respond. Let’s talk about nicknames for the other side. “MAGAtard” and “libtard” what do we think? It is using the “-tard” part of the r word.

Is it necessary? Should we use it regardless?

I just use "MAGAt."

Do you think it should be used?

I don’t really, no. As @Politruk just said, MAGAt is acceptable in my mind. I don’t know what political affiliation you are but I don’t really have one for liberals.

What about you?

The 'tard' suggests a condition that, as you stated earlier, bothers you. I stop at MAGAt and libs, though I rarely discuss politics here since each end of the political spectrum is equally twisted.

Absolutely not necessary. I would argue the same restraint for those who would use the term 'libtard' and 'deplorable'. Society decides what we're allowed to say. How many of you are fine with restrictions until it applies to what you want to say?

 

[AnomalyLady]

Absolutely not.

You both are connecting minds! Lol

I agree though, I think the name calling should not be used. Thank you.

I didn't at first, but after being here for a few days I do. I've already requested to delete my account. The moment you start posting and commenting like it's your job is the time to move on, and that's where I'm at now. What becomes just a way to kill time at work has now become a habit. Just like my days on Facebook and Twitter.

Sorry to hear it. I hope you find something that is fun and doesn’t take up too much time.

You start this thread asking if you were in the wrong defending someone you perceived insulting those with mental disorders and you don’t know???!!

A quick search shows that the term ‘MAGAtard’ has never been used here. Magtard has been used. And it was used only by arguably the dumbest member here saint anne.

I think Daddy Trump should round up anyone with a skin tone darker than caramel who doesn't speak English in trains and ship them to El Salvador.

Am I too extreme?

Sorry but that is not true. You did the search?
