Just post whatever comes to mind.
Please refrain from excess venting in this thread. Talking about negative emotions is fine but it's best not to dwell on them for too long. TV Tropes is not suited to deal with mental health situations.
If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.
Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Hey, bitch, English isn't prescriptivist. You know nothing about how language works. Shut the fuck up.
This is obviously not directed towards anyone here.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."I hate English Nazis because twice an English Nazi has offended Aigle over her broken but COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE ENGLISH.
(Aigle talk like this. Aigle understandable enough for Internet, so people not complain about way Aigle speaks.)

"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."I wonder just how common incest is.
It's a frequent stereotype when dealing with people who live way out in the country, but just how much truth is in it?
And why wouldn't it occur in more urban areas as well.
You could argue the whole "family mentality" thing dissuades it, and that in the rural areas, lack of people leaves little other option, but in the present day, the ubiquity of transportation eliminates this problem.
I highly doubt that there are accurate studies of such a thing.

Ecstasy is Sustained IntensityI always thought it was a Forest of Dean thing. Creator Provincialism talking, I suppose.
I don't know how true it is. Probably not very. It's not something I've ever asked a Forest of Dean person about, because, you can't, can you?
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffBobby, you seem to have much resentment for the Forest of Dean. At least, you find it to be a very Acceptable Target.
Could you explain this to a Yank, like myself?
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Some random site
I don't resent the Forest. Heck, I used to have relatives there (they were not, to my knowledge, incestuous).
The stereotype around these parts is that people from the Forest are backwards hicks, moreso than everyone else in the county. Most of them live in small, insular towns, and the older folk speak in a rather funny dialect and with a much stronger accent than anyone else around here.
And yeah, in the rest of Gloucestershire, Forest of Dean residents are Acceptable Targets. The usual joke is that they have webbed feet. I know I've joked about that kind of thing once or twice, and I probably shouldn't, but eh, there's nobody from the Forest on these forums.
I wasn't being mean just now, though; they really are supposed to be incestuous, or at least inbred. Like I say, probably not much truth in that, really.
Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffYeah "resent" wasn't really the word I was looking for. I apologise.
Anyway, if I said anything more I'd be preaching, so instead I will say something irrelevant: "Hero of War" from Rise Against is a little fucked up.
Oh, also, I hate the Slippery Slope fallacy.

"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Preaching? Oh dear.
Yeah, I know it's bad to treat people as Acceptable Targets. To be honest, it's a style of humour I like far too much, but it's difficult to make those kinds of jokes without causing offence. In that regard, the Forest is a reasonably safe bet compared to picking on a subculture or nationality.
But I don't mean any of it. Given that I'm from a pretty rural area myself and that to a Londoner I'd probably be indistinguishable from a Forester anyway, it's all a bit silly.
If anyone is from the Forest of Dean here, and has been offended by anything I've said, I am sorry.

Welcome To TV Tropes | How To Write An Example | Text Formatting Rules | List Of Shows That Need Summary | TV Tropes Forum | Know The StaffAh, but I just indirectly preached or something. I dunno. It's dumb.
People saying "Playing God" is a bad thing.
We are the human race. Nature and physics are our playthings.

Practice makes perfect!
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaAlso, why do people think that just because, in their belief systems, God created the universe, that he is omnipotent? I mean, people create things all the time and that doesn't give them utter control over what happens with and to their creation.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."I fail to see the equivalence between those acts of creation and the creation of the universe.
What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.'Tis a matter of scale, but I see your point.
I still can't understand why creating the universe would give one utter control of and power over everything that happens in it, but I'm gonna assume that that's one of those ideas I'll never really be able to comprehend.
"I can't imagine what Hell will have in store, but I know when I'm there, I won't wander anymore."Well, the metaphysics aren't really fully fleshed out. Some say the universe is being created and destroyed every moment to, others that the universe and everything in it has No Ontological Inertia and must be willed to continue to exist.

Wow Meaty. Wow.
It's still not as bad as my friend with the desk though.
