so u are giving ur speech based on ur personal opinions? what about other people who have their own personal opinions regarding the purpose of this forum? if they think that this is the place to whine and share their problems, is it wrong for them to post up their topics here based on their assumptions of the purpose of the thread? or do u think that only ur opinion is right and only ur opinion matters? besides, other people have the option to reply or not to reply in the threads these whiny people started right? maybe they are whiny, they dont have their own self-standards like u do, the ones u guys have been talking about in this thread. but i still believe they have the right to whine and b***h about their problems in this forum as it is the most appropriate. or maybe mods should open up another forum called "my life sucks and i wanna b***h about it in this forum instead of cupid's corner". then i guess it is wrong for them to post up their topics here. but still, i think that it is inappropriate to just bash them without giving it a thought. no need to get all fired up just bcos a whiny guy started a pathetic topic which is filled with useless replies from other people. they have their rights, which is the right to voice out their opinions and frustrations, no matter how stupid it is. just becos some of u have higher self-confidence and a better understanding of common sense and human dignity and self-worth, it doesnt give u the right to bash those who aren't as privileged. but if u insist to keep on talking about standards, then i just would like to suggest that u explain ur arguments in simple english terms. u're from RWI, and the other guys are from kopitiam and cupid's corner, and we might have some problems understanding the important points in ur arguments, but that doesnt mean that u have to be sarcastic to them when they do not comprehend ur sentences. (this is pretty much for silverhawk, not u bro). peace!

As much as people have the right to whine, so do we have the right to smack sense into them. Perhaps we're not so gentle with it, but you know why? Its simply because being gentle is what caused them to be like this in the first place. Being nice to them doesn't work, it only enforces their pathetic behaviour. A lot of people here, grew up spoilt & pampered, with unrealistic expectations and assumptions of life and humanity.

You and others can go on scolding/bashing me for being tough on others, feeling superior for being "nice" if you wish. I don't care one bit. Those who I've helped, know the quality of help which I give. I don't have to prove myself to you or anyone

Btw, what we have isn't a privilege, its something we worked for that anyone can obtain. Its not like we were born with it. If you think what I wrote was too complex, go read the tl;dr version la. If you can't even understand THAT, I'm sorry la, you're beyond help

ouhh, i certainly +1 to this post.

yeah, those people need to be knocked hard on the head.

quite often guys, they think too much and get all confused. and often tell them also they don't see, really make you wish you could hammer them to shreds.

there are points to which i agree, and to which i do not. and we all pretty much stand firm to our points of view. therefore, i'll just conclude that we have different points of view, and i'll be sticking with mine for now.

which girl you want is one thing, whether the girl you want wants you is another thing! it won't work if it's just 1 way.

in the end you just have to explore and see which one wants you.

@dickson poon, let me hear ur reply before u turn all green and start smashing the keyboard.

1. As much as people have the right to whine, so do we have the right to smack sense into them. Perhaps we're not so gentle with it, but you know why? Its simply because being gentle is what caused them to be like this in the first place. Being nice to them doesn't work, it only enforces their pathetic behaviour.

Only genetic neuters do not produce their own pheromones.

1. I agree that u're right in that context, although i still prefer a different approach to these heartbroken whiny people. One which is pretty much the opposite of urs.

2. I understand even the full text version. I was speaking for the people who do not. And the thing which i do not agree is ur approach of "if u cant even do this, u're on ur own. i dont wanna waste my time trying to explain to people like u". doesnt seem very helpful dont u think? that kind of approach is great for a blogger, but if u're a columnist or something, then i dont think the boss would be too happy. anyway, i know u're not a columnist or anything, just trying to give an example. so no need to argue on this one.

1. THIS is what we have sunk to.

2. This is the fundamental difference between those of us who can catch the nuances of what is being discussed in here and elsewhere, and those who cannot. To those who cannot or more likely, DO NOT WANT to discern the difference, all points of view are the same, and all are thus of equal value.

This, is manifestly false.

why?

1. As sad as it sounds, it's the reality, one which is practiced worldwide by the majority of common people. Cant argue with that.

2. Then i guess my point of view puts me in the latter crowd. i believe those will be my final words in this thread. wish u all the best!

i guess it's becos of my field of studies. i'm a medical student, and from day one, we've been taught not to sympathize our patients, but to empathize them. no matter how ridiculous our patients complaints might be, no matter what kind of stupid thing they did to cause the disease in the first place, we were not supposed to judge nor advice our patients, instead we should try to understand how do they feel, and then try to advise them without hurting their feelings. mind u, in our exam, if we hurt the patient (physically or emotionally), we're gonna fail and we'll have to repeat the whole year. so u'll have to be really careful. umm, i really dont know how to explain this properly, but let's just say that the medical field has changed my views and perceptions regarding this matter. maybe i'm straying a bit from ur question and this topic, but that's all i can say to answer ur question. i used to have views pretty much similar to urs a few years back, but not anymore. but i respect ur approach, and i do believe that ur approach might be the best one, depending on the type of person receiving it.
@dickson poon, im not chickening out, i just think that i dont have anything else to say.
take care guys!

This is so shocking. Who is this Shane McCutcheon, and why does he look like the angmoh version of the "prettiest" girls featured in this forum?

Know this, Joey-Kun, for it is of great importance. You have sullied mine eyes and serenity with this abomination of a vision, so repulsed I am and violated at the core that I have no words to describe my revulsion. Nothing compares to the horror you have visited upon me, not my nightly dreams of hunchbacked, ancient crones with crooked noses  slowly walking up the walls and across the ceilings of my bedroom, nor the living memories of the sounds of bones breaking and wetly grinding against one another.

One day I shall repay the ill favor you have shown me. I tell you this now, so that you will know that day is coming, and so that you may dread it.
