Yes...it would be quite amusing to read my thoughts when I was 14-18:)

Is he 14?

I am guessing they are 17, from their username.

Oh right. Well, I guess I was angry and confused when I was younger. Maybe I should have just avoided replying to this thread. :)

I guess I'm strange then. It wasn't until after my teenage years that I started having much in the way of emotions much less being capable of expressing them.

I personally don't like reading the term "whore" on a public forum where children are present and shouldn't this topic be locked or deleted?

The point is we are not here to be harmful to each other, and sometimes the intended motive of the posting can have immediate and long term impacts on our more sensitive readers.

How horrid.
Thumbs down.

I think if he had presented his views differently, then we would have reacted differently. He came across as angry and bitter, therefore, I reacted in a similar manner. I should probably think things through more before I write them. Or just stay out of topics like this altogether.

Eh if people never came around and took swings at us though who would we have to vent at?

But we probably shouldn't vent at each other.

I think he isn't because he doesn't seem to have much experience with writing and he appears not to have learned any social skills at all.

And yet by his own admission his level of functioning isn't low enough to warrant his seemingly complete lack of experience. Unless of course hes been living a very sheltered life.

Cant vent and its not healthy to keep things bottled up.. so what can you do? :P

Yeah it could have gone better but you cant really blame people for defending themselves.

I agree. I reacted quite negatively to it myself. I I particularly didn't like some of the terms he used, such as 'ret*d' and 'disease.'
