Rule number one in Fight Club is We don't link to TVtropes! It's too addictive!

I'm with the optamists out there. I think one act of random kindness can redeem not only that person but all the people who hear the story. We can all go 'yeah, we're good people, we love someone, we care about something', I think that many people who've lost faith in humanity may have lost faith in themselves or have been let down badly by someone who they had faith in. But things can turn around and one good day can erase ten bad ones.
Yeah, it sounds sappy all that, but I maybe jaded about a lot of things, but I hope to keep my faith in humanity and faith in myself, a member of said human race.

I've been reading the posts on this website and they truely do make me feel that maybe there is some hope left for mankind.

What do you think? And have you ever had an experience or know of one that gives you hope?
Is it wrong that it makes me feel sick? Seriously, first one I saw "Just because she can't be there doesn't mean she can't watch." Bullshit. She's dead. That just gives me hope that guys know what to say to get laid.

"GMH" GMH? Way to reduce something that actually had a shot at being meaningful into some retarded net-speak.

The whole thing's all too lovey-dovey, it pisses me off. It's not even like that in a good way, with puppies and shit. I bet you 90% of those stories are made up.
i fully agree with you.

i hate all lovely dovey things. i have a girl frind that i love to bits, but that site is too far! seriously

and most ppl would jusp in to save a younger one, and a hobo woulnt give a child $100! he needs it more than the kid to eat and drink for the next year! even with the rest, a hobo would lok to the future i would think and not give money away

In my own personal opinion, I believe humanity will one day cease to exist. I know that's not very positive but chances didn't help the dinosaurs so what makes us think the chances for our survival is any better. I'm a nihilist and as you can tell I'm an very negative person but my entire philosophy towards life goes like this; You know how when a doctor can't do anything else to help their patient and they say to the patient or the family, "We'll make them as comfortable as possible." That's basically my worldview on living. Make humanity as comfortable as possible until the end.

The decks are stacked against common good nowadays. many people are vile, dumb, and greedy. But yes I do that there is hope for us yet, even though it is most likely 20 to 1 for a decent human being in a crowd at least there is that 1 person. So to reiterate, I do have hope for us a Humanity yet.

No. There is no hope for humanity. We are doomed.
Erm, thanks...shot down on the very first post. Well thanks for contributing anyway.
Don't you just hate it when that happens? By the way, checkout the my life is twilight website...makes my eyes burn.
Think I'll give that one a miss thanks. Just looking at anything twilight related makes my eyes burn.
I understand that you have a busy schedule so I took the time to copy paste a few posts for you. No thanks necessary. (Keep in mind, these are NOT edited by me at all)

Today I was Realized my friend Brian was like jacob...recently he told me that he was in love with me. He is tall, buff and protective. My husband reminds me of Edward he is Thin, pale and, older than me and overly protective. Mike is always telling me to stay away from Brian. MLIT
Today I went on MLIT for the firxt time! I am so so happy there are other people like me! It is without a doubt the greatest book and movie saga ever to exist.
On May 1st i went to Columbus Ohio. Me and my mom and aunt and people we met went to a mall. and we see lifesize Edward and jacob cutouts. of course i got and Edward one. Now i am for sure taking Edward to prom. CANT WAIT! MLIT. = ]

If the people in this thread are an indicator, no. Absolutely not.

I think a lot of you need to get wrath'd. You're all pathetic.

<spoiler=I thought this one was funny, though>"My best friend died in a car accident on his way to deliver me soup for my cold.

Found in the car was also a bouquet of flowers and a card that read:

"We've been best friends for the last 5 years. Now, let's be lovers for the next 50."
"

Haha. Loser.

I got a couple posts in to the girl talking about her mom noticing the scars on her legs, and how she was too embarassed to tell her mom they were scars from when she was raped, so she told her mom they were just streatch marks, but her mom wasn't buying it and asked her what they really were... And I've gotta say... now I'm more depressed. Caring moms aside, that did not leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside... At all. Next time, OP, please refrain from trying to cheer me up, because that website did not succeed...

That IS pretty sick. "Sure, granny may be dead... But she still likes to watch..."

Those posts were crap... It was like "Shitty situation, gets somewhat better but nowhere near." I mean, she got raped, then her mom cares... That doesn't make it any better. Fail Website, Fail Concept.

Btw, humanity sucks.

Now, I'm like an evil Daredevil. By the way, "Twilight" is a cheap knock off of "True Blood" in my opinion (BTW, True Blood is MUCH better, watch it and you'll realize how much truly better is it than "Twilight") Also, there's a parody book of it which I believe is called "Nightlight"...haven't read it yet though.

I might have it wrong but I thought Twilight was around before True Blood, in fact it was what started off the whole vampire craze again. I may have it wrong though.

I'm pretty sure the books by Charlaine Harris on which True Blood is based were around before Twilight.
