Welcome to Gaia! ::

finally someone else aware of that fact that what random is now is just a guise to be stupid

when i try to have a conversation i don't wanna see Text talk, emotes and other crap as answers i want answers

i remember when random actually meant something but these days it's just panned out faster than the rumors of swine flu are going around

i very rarely use emotes and when i do i use my own ones not the preset ones

i mean how hard is it to use ones brain to form a sentence probably a lot easier than spewing whatever drivel they normally do

*smiles* You both have a valid point. It is true, that alot of what goes on is pure silliness, but before making harsh judgments remember, too, that many of the peepz on here are just trying escape from the real world for a while and blow off some steam. I, personally, enjoy the game threads and usually get a laugh when I read through them - if I didn't, I wouldn't bother with them. It is true, though, that there is nothing so informative and relaxing to me as a good conversation. One that focuses on positive, rather than negative. I also agree that the rabid lacing of emoticons throughout a conversation can tend to appear perverse, I think that it doesn't occur to most people that they can *smile* just as easily this way as with an emoticon. I blame it on our society's promotion of instant gratification.
On that note, it's time for me to go contribute to that society for a few hours. I hope you both have a wonderful day. It was nice meeting ya'll.

Blu: I'm not making a harsh judgment, it's more of a... well, disliking of the fact that it's hard to find a good conversation among the 'randomness', I'm not saying it's completely unnacceptable, and understand for most that it's enjoyable, it's just not for me.

I think most prefer talking about positive things, I never go out of the way to talk about negative things.

Well, as I hear often, life is just getting faster and busier, but I believe people still have a few moments to spare to do things the right/proper/whatever way.

And the same for you.

Joey: I never said it wasn't, it just isn't for me.

And it's a neutral thing, not good nor bad, depends on the perspective.

And no one said a conversation had to be serious, just casual chat is what I'm looking for, I'm not a debater.

If anything is unbalanced here, it's that there's too much random.

Thing about religion and politics is no one knows how to debate anymore. :/

So, yeah, it'd be best to just leave those subjects alone if we want pleasant conversing going on. ^__^ I like your avi, btw, Mysti.

Thank you, Sora. Joey, I like a combination of both! Such as Boston Creme Pie *smiles sweetly and batts eyelashes* Ever had it?
