WOW- way to condescend there, nikiSpeedy. I'm glad that you deem your 'older person's problems' of more concern than a younger person's problem, but no matter how you slice it, an issue is an issue. Whether you feel it is or not. This, as all things, will pass, and you are entitled to an opinion about it. But next time, pass on the martyr/cynic vibe. I think talking down to people is more of a 'younger person's thing'. Suffering/emotion is Universal and ageless. I have a sense of humour too, but I didn't think that was very funny.IP: Logged |

I am just looking at it in reference to it's importance in the whole scheme of things. It all just sounds like a bunch a boo-hoo, poor me grandstanding.Oh thanks for letting me have my own opinion. Because i DO have layers of experience, it is very easy for me to put this into perspective. Wasting everybody's time. I came here to learn things and i surely have. Lots of sites posted i have pored over and thoroughly enjoyed. Probably even posted by people younger than me == ALL This moaning and groaning seems to be WAY OFF TOPIC for the site. AND LOOKY SEE HOW sour all of us are getting over this -- rofl. IP: Logged |

I was simply saying (and you are right, there is a feeling of sour grapes in the air) That age has little to do with depth of feeling. In fact, if it were such a tiny affair, why the climate change. I'd say those are pretty big emotions. (For such itty bitty babies, wah.) No doubt with age comes layers of experience, but you've gotta' start accruing it somewhere! You are entitled to feelings through experience, not necessarily age. One is not exclusive to the other. Saying that is tandamount to saying, if you lose your mother at age 8, it doesn't hurt as much as if you'd lost her at 36. It hurts, it is a relative term. Don't discredit the ones who are coming up in the world, and learning as you once did, because, of course, you know it all now, right? Blanket statements (like the one I just made) do nothing but frustrate and infuriate. Not conducive to a positive vibe at all. Oh, and You are welcome! Have your own opinion, and say it with class! Anything I can do to help my fellow knowflake. See how gracious I can be?IP: Logged |

Okay, okay......I am sorry. We don't need any more negativity. I understand your point, I just got my back up, and I appreciate a good argument once and a while. I feel like I have to stick up for people. Misguided or not. I will try not to get my nose out of joint, for the good of the Land - Linda land, that is.IP: Logged |

I knew this guy who was always talking about how the homeless children situation was so sad, and how he had spent the night on a park bench to see how they feel and he was always going on about how some people have it so bad and how it makes him sad.
Then he tells me how this girl that we know is so superficial because her porche or something broke down and she was acting like it was the end of the world and if she wasn't so shallow and superficial she would realize that other people had real problems. A great loss is devastating to the person it is happening to. Whether it is a loss of a house or a porshe is not important because they can both represent security, safety and the humiliation of being without. It depends on who you are I SUPPOSE but it involves the same issues and feelings that everyone can relate to if they only saw it from that person's point of view. Incidentally this same guy went around telling people that I was shallow and superficial because I thought that it was insane to spend the night on a park bench (safety) and because I also made a comment about the people who ring bells for charity are probably sometimes scam artists.
Okay, perhaps that didn't have anything to do with what I said before; but I am still incredulous that anyone would call me shallow and superficial!!  ------------------

Pixie -- this is not a personal fight with u -- i don't know u or anyone else here and certainly have not been privy to the "cliqueness" at the site.Interesting u mention 36 at losing Mom. That is exactly when i lost mine and i can tell ya my world was turned upside down for nearly 3 years. I still miss her. I have actually wondered how it affected younger people having the same loss. I have thought it might even be worse for them. However, this tragic LAYER does not even remotely COMPARE to the subject at hand of "boy and girl" stuff. All of us have cried and whined over a love affair gone wrong. Some take up for the boy and some take up for the girl. Both need friends. I just believe it is way immature to involve a WEB SITE????? As if i need your permission or anyone else's. Nuff said. IP: Logged |

You totally don't need my permission, that was said sarcastically......I am sorry I coined the age you DID lose your mom. I was just trying to strike a chord of reason. I agree about the website thing. But there are behind the scenes stuff that you (or maybe even I?) don't know about. By your own admission. It is more than meets the eye...and the public outcry had more to do with the ousting of a moderator than the banishment of a knowflake I think, although both were hurtful. Simply because she stood up for something she believed in, just as you and I are doing now. She was punished. For 'kid stuff' that isn't important, sure seems like a big thing to do, huh? Have a good night, remember mom and marshmallows. IP: Logged |

I concur. This site is about Linda, not all the petty finger-pointing. New Knowflakes (we get several each day) deserve the site of Love and Light we normally are.  ------------------

yes, Randall, I am a sorta' newbie, and came here with the intention of learning and loving in Linda's memory. This other stuff is just a fact of life, as is everything, and it will pass. I just hope everyone is considered. I don't know all the details. Who really does except those involved. I was just pointing out up there that it is wrong to trivialize something that obviously struck a passionate chord in alot of people's hearts.IP: Logged |
