If

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

kipling, great poem dude....:clap2:


Kipling my ass, you illiterate boob. That is Shakespeare, Polonius talking to his son Laertes in Hamlet. I memorized it in high school.

I am pretty sure you are wrong.

Poems - If--
 
Here's an idea. Go hit 'posts' from whatever moderator you think I might be talking about, and see if I'm not right. If that shit is the standard for this board, then you can stop wondering why so many people have left, and/or are considering leaving.

unless the mod is abusing their powers, then posting stupid things ( looks at Oddball ) :) isnt really something people are going to leave over. IF that is a reason then they are pussies and good riddance to trash.
 
Oh dear, Brain Dead is cranky. I cannot imagine that any Mod would deliberately annoy her whiny ass... ohhhhhhh..... wait.... yea, I can think of one.

I must go rep his right wing ass. :lmao:
 
"And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!"

Improved: "And, which is more, you will be a person!"

Why exclude the better gender?

If mods are going to be complete assholes on a regular basis, and never say anything worth reading - then I respectfully suggest we be able to put them on ignore. We can see their PM's, but there is no reason for me to have to read nothing but personal attacks from a select few. They bring NOTHING to the table.

Thank you.


They are still posters, boop.

And a good deal of the people here don't post anything worth reading....

just saying.

That's it, it's subjective, here's my opinion on that though. Once you start saying well its ALL bullshit or EVERYONE is against me in group settings like this, people begin to just tune you out or it gets worse from there.

You have to just go with trying to figure out what interests other people and then decide who you want to spend your time here with.

Getting aggressive or even complaining like this doesn't sit well usually.

By "you", I mean a general you.

Why are Mods allowed to insult us via reps? I thought that Mods needed to show certain standards, show that they are decent posters, and better than the trollers, flamers, etc. But it seems they can get away with insulting people they don't like.

I really wasn't expecting that when I joined here. Its surprising.

Standards? They are posters and can say anything they want, they can be a dick or bitch if they want, just like any poster can.

The reason they are mods is because they have an ability to be OBJECTIVE when they moderate. That's it. They don't have to do shit as a poster - they have the same rights as any other poster.

I just don't get this "example" shit. If they CAN'T separate their emotions and views from their duties, they aren't mods. It's a skill EVERYONE should develop, sadly too many don't or can't.





This thread is a massive meltdown. Get a grip, Boop.
