This is a microcosm of the real world I think..... there are truly great caring people here, there are assholes who seemingly care only about themselves, the well informed and the happily uninformed, the right, the left and everyone in the middle are all represented very well in TFP.
I could name names.... but that would be unfair..... overall this is a great place and if you cannot locate a friend or 2 .... if you can't find the courage to IM people and say "great post" or just send them a nice word...... well then you have the same courage as I do.... lol.....
Seriously, there are many here I truly like and could probably call a friend.... and some I would avoid.
I am truly happy I found this place and I know some people.... here have truly helped me cope with some issues that I could get off my chest in a way I couldn't elsewhere.
And there are those assholes that get great enjoyment out of others pain.....
There are those here that care but will never find courage to tell me.
And there are those here that don't have a clue as to who I am and seriously just don't care..... go figure.....
Amazingly just like the real world.
So, no we're not meanies here and we're not hippies..... we are people, struggling through our lives each of us trying to find some form of happiness and sense of belonging..... and in all honesty...... TFP gives me a slice of that.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
