when I am genuinely curious about something.
: There isn't a quota. If you have nothing to say, don't say somehing that makes yourself oot to be a jackass. That bullshit about some girl buying a Moogle doll or whatever the fuck it was,and then posting about it, was completely a stupid thing to do.
No clue what you are talking about, but the name Moogle just frightens me.
: I know you can only talk about a VA film for so long before you have heard every answer on the subject, but this all spawns from a simple question:
: Why do people make polls?
: Is it fear of being alone? Do they need others to recreate what they can of that small spark that was once an interesting life? Please tell me. If you have nothing to talk about, why talk about nothing?
All of the above. To be honest, I think its so people will know what other people on the boards share similar interests. So they can feel all family-like and eventually trade screen names and instant message each other. Then decide they have nothing in common.
: Have things gotten that bad in the world? Terrorists, yeah. War, sure. But people failing at making something out of nothing, yet attempting it still on a daily basis? That pretty much dashes hope for some kind of sanity in the future.
There were no hopes to begin with. Just work with abused children for a couple of years. This world will be a much better place when its all rats and cockroaches again.
