Alright, simma.
I don't want this to turn into another closed thread. But shine I will say that I have posted only on this thread recently and I have checked it so often today since it was an issue that I was fairly passionate about.
Shine and Delt ALum, I will retract my statement that you were wrong. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and on a random internet site, anyone is more than free to post their thoughts.
Delt Alum, you can say I was rude in my post, but it is only in response to the constant negativity and constant "rudeness" of related in posts. I admit I let my frustration get the better of me in that snide commment. In fact that may be construed as hypocracy. Oh, and I read the first post and it seemed like she was a normal frustrated 19 year old dealing with the cliche "growing pains." You of all people, with children, I would expect to understand that. I don't condone her "death wish,"but she has retracted it and admitted that it was typed in anger and was wrong.
I said Shine initially came across as hypocritical because she is attending school and is not enduring the awkward position that DA is in, even though she said she "was in a similar situation." She took an arrogant tone by belittling DA implying that she was enduring so much more than she financially. That DA should be GRATEFUL for all that she is given, when Shine posted that she paid for "books and food." She had no tolerance for people who don't venture out on their own, yet posted she was only paying for "books and food." As you all have posted time and time again, I can only respond to what you post!
Any way, this isn't my fight. You guys are really not as understanding and tolerant as I thought you all were.
I must come to terms with the fact that some people are just in things for arguments sake. You guys still show no compassion.
And shine, since DA edited out the part about wishing her father dead, it's obvious it was a simple product of anger and frustration. Adrenaline was pumping and she regretted it. I would think you would start taking a more positive approach. But you seem not to have the positive attitude I would hope.
