Yes, should have been Billy Madison LOL good catch!

Back off, that was a joke. Not everyone had a bad childhood. Not everyone had a good childhood. It's life. Assuming everyone had your exact same life experiences is, well you said it best..."stupid." edit: btw, how am I supposed to know you had a bad childhood? It's like you are being all pisssy because I did not know that.

Also heaven forbid I respond with a light-hearted comment and a (mis)quote from a comedy film in a light-hearted thread. I will be sure to include "joking" or "sarcasm" to avoid any confusion in the future. Heavy dose of sarcasm there. BTW the world does not revolve around you. Maybe don't comment in the fun, humorous threads if this is how you are going to react.

And you thought I was overreacting lol. I don't think the world revolves around me. Heaven forbid I get slightly annoyed about you saying "enjoy being young"

Getting annoyed is fine. Calling something stupid because you disagree is not.

I said “The idea that childhood is an awesome paradise for everyone is stupid”. Which I’m allowed to say because of course I got annoyed at you saying to enjoy my childhood when I don’t have a good childhood

Think about your statement...you said that if you disagree with it, it is stupid. Try thinking about that. Really think about it. Just because you disagree with a comment, you think that makes it stupid. That is EXTREMELY self-centered. You are not the almighty judge of all that is right and acceptable. Also if everyone has to not talk about anything that might offend anyone, then wtf are we going to talk about? Can't talk about family, because someone may have had a bad family. Can't talk about pets, because someone may have had a bad pet. Can't talk about anything because someone somewhere may possible be offended somehow.

People can talk about their family and their experiences all they want, just don't assume everyone had a good family or a good childhood and they shouldn't say stuff like "Enjoy your childhood" when they don't know what people's lives are like. That's what annoys me, not people talking about their experiences. And some opinions are stupid. If someone says something like "Vaccines cause autism" then that opinion is stupid

No, people cannot talk about things with you, because you will get offended if they don't take into account your life experiences good or bad. You will call their comments stupid. It's all about you and making sure you are not offended.../s

Try this: what do you know about me? Because I know absolutely nothing about you. So next time, rather than getting annoyed and calling a comment stupid, maybe just maybe, realize you are anonymous here. Try explaining your comment rather than attacking.

Well if you know nothing about me why did you tell me to "enjoy my childhood? You don't know what my life is like so don't tell me to enjoy it. That's what I got annoyed about in the first place.

That was my point. Getting annoyed, overreacting and calling someone's comment stupid is always going to get a visceral response. This is an anonymous site. No one here really knows anyone here. How many times do I need to tell you this?

And how many times do I need to tell you that I got annoyed because you told me to "enjoy my childhood" when I don't have a good childhood. And I wasn't even overreacting. All I said was "What about people with bad childhoods? The idea that childhood is an awesome paradise for everyone is stupid". I wasn't attacking your specific comment, I was talking about the whole idea. You're the one who wrote two whole paragraphs in response to my reply, if anything you were overreacting.

And you were assuming that everyone's childhood is better than their adulthood. Hypocrite much?

So no one can say anything about their childhood or childhood in general for fear of possibly offending you? You really are a princess. BTW: definition of hypocrite: "a person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that disagrees with those beliefs. the hypocrites who criticize other people for not voting but who don't always vote themselves." -Britannica. That last bit of your comment makes no sense at all. edit: credit for definition

You didn’t say something specific to your own childhood, you said “Enjoy being young, adulthood is over-rated.”which implies that everyone’s childhood is better than their adulthood. So you were the one assuming that everyone had the exact same life experience in your comment, not me. I said “The idea that childhood is an awesome paradise for everyone is stupid”, which isn’t assuming that everyone had a bad childhood, I was just accounting for people who did. So yes you are a hypocrite. You got angry at me for “assuming that everyone had the same life experiences” when that is exactly what you did.

Read the definition again and try thinking about it before responding.

HINT: hypocrite is a noun, you are using it incorrectly. edit: READ the definition again. BTW read my comment again. I said "or childhood in general" The world is not all about you princess. There are billions on this planet. You are just one person.

I know hypocrite is a noun. And I never said the world was all about me. I was calling you a hypocrite, which is using the word correctly

READ THE DEFINITION AGAIN. Look up another definition. Try looking up a few more definitions until you actually understand what "hypocrite" actually means. NOTHING I said was hypocritical. Disagreeing with you is not wrong, it just means we do not agree. It is not hypocritical to disagree, princess.

Did you even read my comment? I called you a hypocrite because you were getting annoyed at me for "assuming everyone had the same experience" when that's what you were doing in your original comment.

THAT IS NOT HYPOCRISY. Try reading the definition again and thinking about it. You have no idea what I am like when I am annoyed. Once again, the world does not revolve around you. Are you so self-centered that you cannot even see how self-centered you are?

"a person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that disagrees with those beliefs. the hypocrites who criticize other people for not voting but who don't always vote themselves." That's exactly what you were doing. You were preaching a belief that you don't follow yourself, which in this case is assuming that everyone has the same experience.

I'm starting to think that you will never understand this basic concept.

Okay we get it, I’m not using the word correctly. Can you please argue properly instead of just attacking my grammar. Also did you get another account just to downvote all my comments and upvote yours?

I doubt we will ever reach common ground on this discussion, so let's just agree to disagree and part ways if that is acceptable. I have no idea who came through and upvoted/downvoted here as they left no comments.

Ok.
