I just spit water all over my screen. 1:36pm today you were excited that we could say butthole. Then 6 and half hours later your still excited. I'm sorry but that just cracks me up. You're so excited about it. I love it. butthole butthole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazyboy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Invest heavily in Magic the gathering If you know what you`re doing Magic and Lego will get you quick profits! Don't know about Lego but I could definitely see MTG being this generations comics (at least as far as collectibles go.) My son (and a bunch of other nerdy sons) are playing and talking Magic now like I talked and traded comics when I was his age. When they grow up and have disposable income I could see the old cards picking up. The only issue is that the cards are "collected" now so there will be many high grade examples. So I guess maybe not. Pure "collectors" are a tiny part of the fan base for M:tG, as they should be. But do you have any idea of the difference between print runs of recent sets and early sets? Regardless, playability is still the main driving force behind M:tG prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsilverjanet Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So much could be avoided if people just walked away Nevertheless, I don't always agree with what Chuck says (ASM2) but I enjoy his posts. There is a no nonsense approach that is refreshing. It sure beats all the emojis some seem to use instead of engaging in actual discussion. greggy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockMyAmadeus Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Ignoring the discussion in this specific thread, adult cyber bullying is real. stuff to read more stuff to read linky reading reading linky read link read for link reading Nonsense. Total tripe. "Bullying" occurs when people are in abusive situations which they cannot, due to circumstance, readily escape. As a result, the vast, vast majority of actual victims of actual bullying are children, young teens, or the impaired, people who aren't capable of taking control of a situation by confronting it, walking away from it, or avoiding it altogether. Calling people who are mean on the internet "bullies" does actual harm to actual victims of actual bullying, due to the Chicken Little syndrome. The word has been completely watered down, to the point where those who are really being bullied are eventually ignored due to wide scale overuse. Now, we're raising vast swaths of people who think that anyone who challenges them in any conceivable way, whether the challenge is legitimate or not, is "bullying." And that way lies madness. If someone doesn't want to be "cyber bullied", the answers are simple: up one's rhetorical game, grow thicker skin, learn how to handle a challenge, don't let one's emotions get the upper hand, and if all else fails, go outside and enjoy real life for a while. Problem very effectively solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem very effectively solved. Do you feel better now? Seriously, I can't think of a worse way to view a situation then to state that people who are feeling bullied should "toughen-up," "effectively learn how to better argue" or "leave." That point of view seems to be fueled by a sense of superiority and a "cull the weak" mentality. I don't know you well enough to actually guess at your motivations, but your last statement is extraordinarily elitist. Regardless, besides the occasional chide at the discussion, most have let this go. What do you feel the need to come back and comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockMyAmadeus Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I've been a member of several forums and even spent yyears building my own. While bullying can be used as a case of people interacting, i am going to agree with RMA. Most people claiming cyber bullying are whining buttholes who need to stop and take a look at their thought process and what they are actually taking a stance on That simply isn't true. People handle things differently, but that doesn't make bullying not exist. If anything it is worse online because people have no fear of repercussions due to the anonymous nature and physical separation of the Internet. What you call "bullying" is simply people being people. You are abusing the word by applying it to people being "mean." If one can readily confront, walk away from, or avoid the situation, they are not, under ANY circumstances, being "bullied." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kav Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Great to hear and ha ha to the people that said if me and a friend were talking about someone without their knowledge we were 'bullying them' making me have to invent the term 'aware bullying' IN YOUR FACES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that you can argue about my interpretation of another's behavior and whether or not I should have feeled bullied. While ultimately it is about how the person feels about a situation that is important, it is subjective to outside parties. However, being able to leave or avoid a situation or not has nothing to do with qualifying said situation as bullying. The act does not require a captive audience. That is your interpretation of "bullying" not an accurate definition or a fact. straight out of wikipedia Edited February 27, 2015 by rfoiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
