Hello, and welcome to my thread.
I'm here in a quest of knowledge. I have many questions, actually, and I hope that the majority of General Discussion can answer them.
First topic - Emos.
Now being a Goth, I do not understand why anyone would be desperate enough to become a modern Emo. This is a page from Wikipedia explaining the origins of Emo (Information I doubt more than 5% of Emos really know). You can find it here. Read it. It's vital to the discussion.
What I would like to hear from people who either are, or like Emo style is why you're Emo.
My opinion on Emo: The modern-day Emo is just a person born from the heated "labeling" stage of everyones lives. Prep, Goth, Skater, Jock, etc. From the utter chaos of those times came Emo. I mean.. why not just be everything? Being a social outcast somehow became popular.. But of course now saying "Emo" and "social outcast" would make the sentance a bit hypocritical. Emos, in my eyes, are people who just want to be apart of a group, even if they don't know wtf it is. They want to feel cool and apart of something. And being someone who believes in being an individual, I'm completely against it o.x
Also, being gothic and having a greate appreciation for music, I think that Emo music is the most horrible sh!t since country o.x People who like/sing in that genre have absolutely no musical tallent. But that's just my opinion.
So anyway.. give me your opinions :3
Next topic - Homosexuality
I'm pro-homosexuality. I don't understand why anyone would be against homosexuality. Just for the sake of having the information out there, click here to go Wikipedia's page on homosexuality.
My Opinion: Homosexuality is not a choice. You cannot choose who you love. Homosexuals cannot choose who they are attracted to anymore than Heterosexuals can choose their attraction to the opposite sex. There's simply no changing it. I believe that homosexuals are just people, like everyone else. They should have the same rights as everyone else. Sure, it requires a man and a woman to reproduce, but we have way too many people on this planet; do we honestly need to care that much about the population of the human race at the moment?
Also, the bisexual trend. For the true bisexuals/homosexuals, I applaud and respect you. However.. for the rest of you.. the fake bisexuals o.x You disturb me. This is just another fad, like Emo. Apparently it's cool to be bisexual, and if you don't pretend you're bisexual no one will like you. I only have one thing to say to this: "If you can't pay the bills, don't pretend to have the skills". Basically; unless you can actually date and have sexual relations with the opposite sex (and enjoy it), then you are not bisexual.
Please, give me your opinions on this :3
Last Topic - General Discussion vs Chatterbox
I'm fairly sure there isn't a Wikipedia article on this, so I'll just go to my opinion x3
My Opinion: The only real different between General Discussion and Chatterbox now is that there are no "girls / guys" or rp threads. Threads in General Discussion are all about what happened in that persons day, the first thought off the top of their head, sex, masturbation, boobs, hate-intention, and single sentences/questions with a discussion tag attatched to it. There are no real discussionable threads out there anymore. It's kind of sad.. anything.
Also, people are getting addicted to GD like CBers are addicted to the CB. No one ever wanders outside of GD or CB anymore. No wonder so many people leave everyday.
Anyway.. that's all :3 Give me your opinions.
