Irony

TDGee

Before I go any further, I LOVE MFP and it's multifaceted nature. You can interact with the most amazing people on both ends of whatever spectrum you want to use. I don't know if given the power, I would change anything about this aspect of MFP. I enjoy seeing the wildly different opinions that are presented, debated, and argued. It's all good!

BUT, I find it ironic that the behavior expectation in the forums is PG-13, but you must be 18 or more just to join.

Just a thought...

What do you find ironic? And NO quoting Alanis Morrisette, Does the world REALLY need another angry woman?

Gah! That song is now stuck in my head!

Nothing like a pissed off Keebler elf.

Well buddy, now that you ask... let me talk.

I'm in a mood... because one... I named my daughter after Alanis... well kinda. i LOVED that name, but didn't want her saddled with it... so I named here Katherine Alana.... (Alanis, it's close) Irony, Katie LOVES Alanis songs... and she's awesome

Ok...back to MFP... I find it IRONIC that the skinny people (no offense, ya'll) want to tell me how to lose weight... when some of them have never been overweight. That's like me telling a man how to piss. I just can't teach it... cuz I've never lived it.


Ok... so I've lost 77 lbs. I have less than 20 lbs til I'm 'healthy' I'm kicking A** But, what worked for me... probably won't work for others, our bodies are different... so while giving advice is good... don't be condescending, people. It's a quick way to get kicked outta Kaley's world!

Ok *end rant*

love to all! LOL

Hey! I have no issues with the name or the artist. I have enjoyed her music as well. I was hoping to avoid a bunch of quotes from the song (Love that song btw,). You totally cracked me up with "me telling a man how to piss".

I was just looking to see if anybody had anything ironic to post.
Back to livin' the dream!

That on a website dedicated to support and motivation it seems those who are bitter and jealous can sometimes rule the day.

Live and let live,be happy for everyone!

Posting this knowing it will be pulled or deleted...so that is an irony in itself I guess.

I have a tiny suggestion as I do notice all this and find it mildly distracting, other chats have 2 versions of their chats on 2 different servers. If this is possible maybe it would work and stop the bs. This is done by creating to seperate server entrances but the same program, should not be too hard to do.

One is for G or PG rated minded folks to have a very generic but friendly experience with support and mild topic dicussion for use by everyone, even the ones who prefer more adult content can use it but must in that side abide by the family style rating.

The Second server is mature adult not meaning X rated just adult topic or photos such as a lil more skin shown for displaying of changes in body from working out since we hopefully will be proud and want to show off such hard work. The more mature adult content would be for those over 18 who wish to discuss those type topics and the things they feel they prefer as part of their weight loss experience to also have an open forum to their liking. They dont look any different just one side you enter via screen name and password, other side the same just click add a box that says click to verify you are over 18.

That way each can go to whatever side they prefer and no more issue.


Just a tiny suggestion is all.

It's not 18 and above for content, it's 18 and above because they don't want to be responsible for teens using the app inappropriately and hurting themselves. Like cigarettes, many health related products are for "responsible adults" which they usually just cut off at 18.

lol...jealous and bitter? Seriously, I think you should not take people's comments so well... seriously.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about something else, kd. Apparently there has been some recent drama.



This one time, I had 10,000 spoons and all I needed was a knife! So effing ironic.

I think there is truth in the above statement.
I look at the PG-13 in the forums as just good manners. I think blogs are different, more freedom, and you actually have to search and click on them (for the most part) so a person has more control over what they choose to view or not.
