I disagree. I'm a very social person, I just never knew it because I didn't give myself a chance. And I also disagree about video games making you more social. I mean maybe if you're going to a friend's house and a bunch of your friends are all playing video games together for a bit, then okay. But online friends are not the same as real life friends. The reasons should be obvious.

Friendship is friendship. Just because you can't see them, it doesn't mean they aren't real people.

And if you're playing games, and not making friends offline or online, it's because you were not a social person, or you were afraid to.

Your Xbox wasn't tying you to the chair, you were obssesively playing.

This is what I'm trying to say, you make your choices in life.

I didn't say online friends aren't friends, I said they're not the same as real life friends. I still talk to people on Facebook that I played XBL with years and years ago, and I have a penpal in Australia that I've known for about 12 years now.

But these friends are not the same as my real life friends. I can never go and get coffee with these people, hug them, see them, etc. These friends can't just come drive to your house and hang out with you. They can never be there for you like real life friends.

And I mean, God forbid there was a power outage. Where are your friends now?


Many friends that I've met on XBL are lifelong and I've had better friendships with others online than I ever had with a lot of my real life friends. I've also met a number of my online friends.

I urge you to reconsider your Buddhist comment, because that's just ignorant of you.

That link doesn't state what type of experiment was conducted. Therefore, it's invalid.

I already thought what you were saying was totally moronic, but when you say you're a Buddhist, that's where I draw the line and completely ignore you.



Why? I said nothing that wasn't cogent and valid, I made no sweeping universal statements, I didn't posit anything new to either of our's ontology. And you found it moronic? I don't even think you know what my argument is.

What the hell do you have against Buddhism? $20 says you don't even know what Buddhism is, either.


You can't just let him dislike buddhists and buddhism?

This has nothing to do with tolerating his intolerances, so much as I want to know what he finds so absolutely, over-the-line moronic about it. We're talking all about reason and dissatisfaction and attachment here, and Buddhism entirely pertinent and very logical, but he makes a statement like that. I don't care if people don't like Buddhism, really, but I care a little when someone says something ridiculous like that.

Just leave him be. He just really doesn't like buddhism and thinks you or your buddhists opinions are moronic.

Haha, well yah, but I'm argumentative and what him to explain himself! Buddhism has a place in a thread about sadness :)

If then pen is mightier than the sword, then why do actions speak louder than words?

Sad over a Manga? Really?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Yeah. But once you get over that sadness everything is that much better.
Find something you like to do that gets you over your sadness, OP.

OP, My girlfriend just told me she's in love with her ex who left HER for someone else.

Sadness goes away.
