Gypsy Posted July 7, 2005 Share Posted July 7, 2005 Really i am looking at the threads and seeing a whole lot of life or death crap. I mean, for the love Goddess it is a opnet site. We are not going to get world peace,or end poverty. So why can't we just be people?And for God's sake don't bring in the, but as novas so we aren't people. We are too people.

Timeslip Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Yes, we're people...but an incredibly influential kind of people, with some of our more powerful representatives present here. You might as well ask why a conference line between the various world leaders would see so much talk of serious matters.Like it or not, Gypsy Girl, we're in the driver's seat now...and those that post here do one hell of a lot of the driving. Don't deride us for watching the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jager Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 There is nothing wrong with discussing which birds have the most beautiful plumage, favorite recipes, and which star cluster looks the best for future exploration.Occassionally, we do.We have also discussed the shape of a probable nova government, children, legislation, and which is the best place to spend a quiet night with someone special.Perhaps, as TimeSlip suggests, we discuss life and death matter a bit more because we are so powerful and one of the clearest representations of power is that over life and death.Right now, you aren't too powerful, thus you might not feel those kind of challenges. Baring accident or misfortune, you will become more powerful, though. Your perceptions about things will change. People's perceptions of you will also change.Now, have a nice day.

Gypsy Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 And should we just forget the fact that no mater how powerful we are, we still have needs and wants? I still breath air. I still bleed. I still eat. I still sleep. Hell I still need friends. I still want to be loved. I still want to love. I still am still who I was six months ago. No that is not right. i some how feel like I don't belong with either you or baselines. I am more at home with baselines. The only nova I was really ever even close to comfortable with was well. I can't talk about that i said I wouldn't, so I am not.But why can't we just live and let others live? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarot Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 We don't GeeGee. It just seems that way because life and death have that automatic "Oh shit maybe I should pay attention to this" attention getting response from most people.Love is good though. Doesn't get quite same "Oh shit!" sort of response but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kestrel404 Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 It could also be that we've been very violently reminded of the life and death matters rather recently. Politics has always been a popular topic on these boards, as you can tell if you read back any length of time. But the life and death end of the spectrum has been on everyone's mind since Ibiza. Just a matter of timing, really.Now that I've depressed everyone again, perhaps it's time to move on to other topics of conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
