The worst thing about Juventuz is some of you grouping up to bully an individual. I don't like being known as an annoying girl who's nagging all the time but do you really enjoy teaming up to attack someone right and left and making fun of them?
Hoori is 100% right, of course. But some of us knew this for a while. Whether it was Tifoso Lou being ganged up on as a pedophile or AC for his religious beliefs, there is a real mob mentality at times here. I hate it, because I think it's mentally lazy. You label someone a certain way, you immediately stop listening and you stop hearing. Your brain disengages and there's no conversation anymore. You may as well be talking to a wall at that point.

Perhaps it's just an online social way to deflect insecurities onto someone else in a strange thanks that it is not themselves. Kind of like "an enemy of my enemies is close enough to a friend".

Yeah, the whole thing can get a bit dull.

It's frustrating in the likes of the Marchisio thread where it is impossible to discuss how good or bad he is because of how few people there are who fit between the 'Marchisio is always invisible' group and 'gosh, didn't Marchisio look dashing today? I might just be bi-curious' group.

And the ganging up on one individual is just rather sad.

You guys are the weirdest group of people I've met. I say that with love :D

There are about a dozen off-topic threads here, the most active being the picture thread. Sooooo much socializing takes place there and it's always the same group of people. One moment it's all fun and games and then you see people ganging up on each other. I kinda just browse through those threads and I'm left confused each time at the contrast of the conversations in there.

    Don't worry, when US made Tomahawk missles are flying into Islamisbad next April, I'll thoroughly bully you for hurting our expensive missiles .
    AC can handle himself just fine, he chooses to get into these arguments and create seditious threads, so can expect to face a lot of shit.

    Of course the Freemason shit doesn't help so much on a forum like this :D
    I fucking hate that guy, he is the one that turns his conservative crazy beliefs onto us, parading around his quotes in his sig, his avatars about Jesus and the Masonic seal. That is flying a rainbow flag around your ass in Leavenworth.
    Yea I really have no sympathy for AC.
    I bet you don't, POTHEAD!

    :D

    Dude, I really hope they legalize that shit.
    meh. It's unfair when the individual isn't really doing anything and just gets mocked so others can laugh but I think there are a handful of members who ask for it.
    Word.

    Sure, but even when folk deserve it it tends to go on for too long and people who had nothing to do with the original issue pile in to have a dig for whatever reason.

    I blame Alen.

    She should be cool, though maybe a touch disappointed. It's actually a good sign on you that you have standards. But you don't want to blow out your favors too much on unfruitful options.
    True, but she did agree to be a reference. So I'm hoping she can go strong when I'm up for a larger salary.

    EDIT: One important thing about the job. It advertised a range of pay and in the interview it was shown that the range is theoretical (the job is grant funded) and they really only meant the bottom level with no bennies.

    I think its a bit catty to pick on an individual, but it does really depend on the person and the issue at hand.

    On another note, is it me or are some of the newer members a little over the top as far as being stereotypical versions of North Americans with italian ancestry?
