to find all the feelings of violence really rather depressing?

[SoupDragon]

It's all "I want to punch/slap/kick person X Y or Z"

It's so thoroughly depressing.

might have something to do with the current climate and everyone worrying about bills and christmas. i was joking about being told off and sitting in a corner cheese trying to bring some light heartedness to all this

Oh no! A possible fight in the chill space!!

Diversion - quick!!

My dh says it's to be expected with the looming and dark unknown of the credit crunch. He says the years of the light-hearted latte in the sunshine are coming to an end and pestilence and social unrest are on their way. Of course, it's not here yet; just strange, indistinct shapes. Hence unease, strange, displaced terrors and directionless adrenalin rushes ... .

tjacksonpfc, you're right, I don't have to open the threads. Unfortunately, and you may not have realised this, the thread titles appear without you having to open them.

"onetime mn used to take comments like that in the way they were meant" Um no, not in my memory. It is only recently that the level of wished violence has got so bad for a start.

"dont no why mn has suddenly gone like this but its not good." Well, you're right there but not in the way you meant it.

x post.

And just trying for levity.

I thought you were funny dougal.

Oh, and I wasn't telling you off. Your thread was just one of the latest of many such threads (and was closely followed by another). If I was telling you off, I would have done it on your thread (and I did say you were unreasonable there .

This was simply stating that I find all the "I want to kick/punch/stamp on the head..." thread thoroughly depressing. MN never used to have such a level of violent thought.

dougal LOL

hey soupdragon how about we agree to disagree you carry on living your life your way and ill live mine my way.

tjacksonpfc have you never heard of punctuation?

I can't help wondering how people would react if their children came home and expressed to do the things to people that are expressed in some of these thread titles (I don't open the threads as seeing the titles alone is enough).

i totally agree with that wannabe.id be sad if my dc expressed themselves in this way.

i put a full stop wannabe lol i no soupdragon but likes been said at the moment people are more het up with the current climate and christmas and everything else looking and shurley its better to vent our anger on mn then doing something daft in real life. and i didnt start the other thread that followed mine or have any influence over it i promise

yanbu -have just found the stepford thread catissleepy. I know I've spent half the morning asleep with dd busy doing jobs but did I wake up in 1913? WTF?

I find it depressing too. I've just come back from India (was living there for three months) and one of the things that has really shocked me here is how angry and miserable everyone is. Yet compared to so many other people around the world, we have so much.

YANBU. There seem to have been several of these the past few days. I think it's and I don't like seeing the titles.

there are lots of twatty posters on here atm

YANBU. Have noticed a few threads like this too.

Maybe I need to get out more but I'm actually a bit at this sort of language.

There is something wrong when people express themselves in this way and think it is just dandy to do so.

I probably wouldn't open a thread like that as I would assume that it would be a bit stupid and pointless.

Perhaps MN needs to get hold of some virtual taser guns .....

I really don't like it, I can't imagine even imagining getting violent with people because I am angry with them, what horrible images are in peoples heads

Good job you're not in mine then!

no yanbu!! violence is not the answer

Very dull and subsequently very boring... when an joke regarding another thread grows legs and runs and runs

So you end up with a billion threads titled along the same lines. Half the responses are nodding along with the 'joke'

The other are either or at how MN seems to be getting these days...

In my case, it would be "I'm so angry, I just want to tidy the cupboard under the stairs/ dig over the veg patch". Anger does strange things to me.

Having grown up in violence, I find it both unnecessary and uncivilised. Completely agree with you.
