I voted "unknown" because I can be both,
depending on the situation and my general
mood.
Eiri, in that link in your original post
there is a picture of 9/11 and the towers
falling. At the bottom of the pictures
there is a black box around part of the
pic, to draw our attention to it. What is
it showing?

for the vast majority of time I am a
optimist. I think that since I am almost
sixty I have the perspective of looking
back and seeing how many wonderful changes
have taken place over my life time.
We as a people have made huge progressive
strides in civil rights, in
communications, in technology. The world
is becoming smaller and more well known
and there is so much more access to people
outside of our own comfort zones and with
that the oportunity to know them from
their point of view.
For all our proplems and even inspite of
those that have to be pulled screaming
into a new world we are making progress.

I have no idea what it's drawing our
attention to. XD Maybe that vertical
stripe is supposed to look like an
explosion or something.

I think it is showing how the building
isn't falling at the base, but from the
top down. The conspiracy theorists believe
that if it fell naturally and without
additional demolitions, it would have
fallen from the bottom. It was in the
section about how we get all kinds of
different news, right?

Maybe. I still don't get why it ever
would have fallen from the bottom: It's
the TOP of the building that was damaged!!
So it makes sense to me why it fell the
way it did.

Although I am considered terminally ill,
although I am gay and have zero rights in
this country(almost), although the World
Trade Centers were destroyed and we are at
war and our president is a fool, I still
consider my self an optimist. As long as I
am still alive, the future is bright and
every little thing is gonna be alright.

I used to be a ginormous pessimist. I
learned through a lot of pain that
optimism, in the long run, is much more
rewarding even if things don't work out.
It makes you stronger.

I'm a pessimist, all the way.  I've experienced
too many bad things to try and convince
myself everything will always go right.
There is something oddly positive about
being negative though: If you never expect
things to work out, it's that much better
when they do...and you'll handle
disappointment and tragedy better when you
expect it to happen.

Being optimistic isn't necessarily about
expecting things to go well. It's also
about always finding the silver lining
even when things to go wrong, and not
getting as upset when they go wrong.

That is an optimistic attitude for a
pessimist! Makes since to
me...

a lot of people in this forum get ticked
at me because of how i never see the worst
in people til the end. (i.e., fakers..
I'll stand up for them til the day is
done.)
I cant help it tho.. i always try to see
the best in people.

Twin Towers Implosion
Posted: 02-09-08 14:35pm

The terrorists who drove those planes into
the towers were from an engineering
background and knew that the fuel from the
planes would do the job of bringing down
those towers once they had impacted.
All you have to do is turn on CNN or any
cable network and see how they cleanly
take down any Las Vegas hotel to replace
it with a bigger and better one. They set
the explosives and it drops to the ground
without impacting the neighboring hotels
and casinos.
I agree with Sistersister. We have been
blessed to see some wonderful things in
our lives. Get outside, get some
sunlight, take a walk, meet up with a
friend, do some work in your garden.
Then, you will feel some joy in your life.

I'm not totally sure what the twin towers
have to do with this, and I'm not sure if
you're saying 9/11 was real or if it was a
conspiracy... and quite frankly I do NOT
want that discussion on this thread. If
Birch comes in here and starts on it, I'm
having this removed to the recycle bin.
