Does Zodiac sign matters in a relationship?

I'm sure that what SonGoku said was a joke. Whenever you think that Astrology is BS or not is a personal opinion and what you've said to SonGoku is cruel and nasty, example calling him/her a idiot. Are you are a mod/ admin ? Really ? You should know better. Treat others the way you want to be treated. This just makes me mad.

 

He was once. A moderator of this section, in fact. Or I believe he was. Which section was it?

Joke posts are generally not permitted here. They qualify as spam. As do your post and this one in response to it. Expect them to be deleted, young Miss.

 

Do they really matter? As far as i'm concerned, all that matters when determining whether i'd like a relationship with someone is personality. They could have the worst possible zodiac sign in the world, but so long as their personality is a good one in my opinion that's all that really matters to me.

 

I doubt that his entire reply was just for laughs.

No, it isn't. Liking red better than blue is a matter of opinion. Calling something that isn't based on anything valid BS isn't. If you can provide me with a valid foundation of astrology I will gladly take back what I said, but somehow I doubt it.
Whatever the result, my reply to SonGoku had nothing to do with that; I merely stated that astrology isn't a science which is true no matter how you twist or turn it.

Cruel to be kind, that's my way. Seriously though, I don't care.
Don't worry, I'm sure Chev or someone else will warn me for yesterday's little slip. I just can't seem to bring myself to care about that either.

Is the color coding that hard to figure out? Really? You should know better.

I am. If I say something that's so far off the mark that people will flush their respect for me down the drain, then I'd like them to tell me just how deep they flushed it.

And then you should have read the original version...

It was this one. I was actually a pretty nice person back then.

 

It's really not the fact that the guy implied he believes in zodiac signs that's irritating, it's just that he said something really dumb about science. Even if it's a joke, it's not a very good one.

And for what it's worth, opinions are only worth as much as their foundation. If your opinion has no factual basis to it, why should anyone take it seriously?

And on that note, yeah, I think Styx has this just about right. I see no reason to give astrology any credibility until I see something that suggests it has any factual connection to people's personalities.

 

The joke was on topic It was a joke about science/ astrology which this topic is a about. Spam = off topic. Oh ? And I suppose it's perfectly alright for a high staff member here to treat the other members here like crap ? I don't think so.

It's not what he said. It's how he said it. Saying that other member is stupid is disgusting, epsically when he's apart of higher staff. Internet bullying should not be tolerated.


Anyways, I've reported him. This is just disgusting. He doesn't even care for SonGoku's wellbeing, even though he just insulted him/her. BTW there's no such thing as ''cruel to be kind ''. Ridiculous.

 

I suppose you misread. It was your post and mine that were spam, not SonGoku's. As are the one you just posted and the one you are reading.

I feel he was perfectly within bounds to treat someone as he did when they come into a Discussion section and not only disregard but openly mock all practical knowledge. Jokes of that nature are not tolerated here unless you go back on them later in your post.

He was a part of staff. Not anymore.

If you cannot be intelligent, then do not post in the section. Simple; is that not so? Some people are going to be unintelligent. Some people are going to be unintelligent and mock intelligence itself, like SonGoku has done. Do you know him, or am I missing something?

 

To end this conversation hopefully , and point of my, erhem, "stupidity", I simply said it regardless of consequences, opinion, and overvall conversation etc. In term, I said it because I can, no offense ment to the rules nor staff in this comment in any way possible. In fact I only said it as stupid as it may have seemed, because at the time, it was the first thing that came to my mind that may seemed in my first thoughts possible. Infering I am stupid from one post, or looking at my older history when i'm messing around or having fun, using this info means you are very wrong. To tell the truth, I have matured quite a bit from my time on KHV, to the point were there was a time when I didn't think at all when I posted. Now what Styx said actually made me laugh a bit, only because there were still people who thought I was an idiot, which I donn't blame them. Thank you Febuary for attempting to stand up for me, and thank you Styx, for using your head, i'm not mad at anyone, this is going to be a time when in a few years laugh back at when we had this ridiculous fight over one post. Well, I think that about does it.....I don't think this is going to change anything but it was worth the time.

 

Sometimes a single post is enough to form/change my opinion a great deal, but this works in both ways. I admit that my respect for you kinda plummeted after that post, but consider it recovered for being a good sport and proving your maturity. I was unpleasantly surprised by your first post but pleasantly by your second, in equal share. You can be impulsive, I can be judgemental. No hard feelings.
That's the last you'll hear from me on this anyway.

 

Alright then, but just thanks.

 

No I did not misread. I didn't say that SonGoku's comment was spam. I said "Oh I suppose that Styx insulting somebody's intelligence is perfectly alright ". I think you're the one that has misread.

You have got to be pulling my leg. It is never right to treat somebody as badly as Styx did. It is never right or correct to call somebody dumb. It is called bullying. I think you need to head back to school and re- learn these things. Don't be so stupid.And yes, I am calling you dumb, since it seems to be perfectly okay.

Why am I not surprised ? Somebody who has the nerve to be terrible to somebody else, should never be apart of any staff. Never.

Then you shouldn't be posting here either, because what you are saying are the most idiotic things I have ever heard.

He wasn't mocking intelligence. He was being silly and joking around. Which is apart of human character and nature. People make jokes, offline and online and it's sad that you don't understand that. No I don't know him, but at least I'm not kissing up to somebody.


Anyways SonGoku and Styx has fixed things up, and I don't want to speak about this anymore.The thread has already derailed. Sorry thread's author. If you answer back to this I won't reply, because to be frank.... you're just not worth the time and effort, you and Styx. - rep you both. You're no different from the bully himself, if you side with a bully you know.

 

You misread again. I neither stated nor implied that you said his comment was spam. I stated that I was saying that your and my comments were spam. You originally read me as saying that I believed SonGoku's comment was spam and responded with that assumption in mind. I was correcting this. I did not state what you said about it at all. I was correcting what you said about what I had said, not what you stated for yourself.

If you do not follow, then here is the short version. You assumed that I was calling SonGoku's comment spam. That does not mean that you said his comment was spam. It means that I did not call his comment spam. No one said it was spam. I was correcting you on that fact, not stating that you said it was spam.

Really, now. I need to go back to school and learn what bullying is? Did they teach you that, or were you bullied by your classmates? Was that a part of the curriculum? Do they tell kids to bully you?

"What are they teaching in schools these days?"

'Terrible' is very subjective. Who gets to decide what is terrible? Shouldn't the victim decide, not you as a third party? What did the victim, that being SonGoku, have to say about this? Wasn't it resolved before you posted? Hm?

This is worse than anything I have said. Have I insulted you? No. What you stated just now is a direct insult based on personal opinion. A standalone "that is idiotic".

How about we put it up to a vote for who deserves to be here more? Eh? Makaze, or some bystander who chose to take the side of someone who did not even get offended and persisted even after the conflict was resolved?

That is not tolerated in this section. Please review 'Discussion' and its various uses, and consider that this is in no way a general chat area, and that his post was quite along the lines of something belonging in The Spam Zone. I would have deleted it if I were a mod and caught it before Styx responded. This is not the 'Make a joke about the subject' section. It is the Discussion section, where posts are based on their factual and logical merit and not on the person's comedic ability.

Please, Miss. If I am kissing up to anyone, it is myself. Do you see the ego I am carrying around? I do not need to beg favors from anyone. I am playing the devil's advocate because I would have made a similar if less harsh post than Styx if I had caught it. Please do not insult me again.

A lot of good that was. You went and posted after the end of the conflict. You contradict your own interests.

I still expect your posts to be deleted, if not mine as well. Au revoir.

 

This is all too much fun to watch. I swear, meta-discussion of a thread shouldn't count as off-topic. It adds all sorts of interesting elements to an otherwise single-tiered discussion. Watching human interaction is far more entertaining than disdainfully wrapping the topic in cotton wool and attempting to enclose it in a vacuum.

I suppose I need to say something pertaining to the initial discussion though. Very well.

I consider astrological signs to be fun, in the same way I find extrapolating other patterns into rules to be a source of amusement. For example, I may claim that one of my friends is better at rolling dice, or that some higher power hates me due to poor exam results. Behind such statements, a degree of ironic recognition is present; I realise that what I am proposing has little basis in reality, but I do so anyway, for my entertainment. I indulge the human desire to associate correlation with causation. So I may look at a horoscope and choose to see how it aligns with my life, and I may make a show of pinning decisions on a horoscope, but there is a layer of ironic separation between the show of believing, and the reality of knowing that I am merely cherry-picking the correlations from the horoscope and ascending them to causation, while disregarding the equally numerous unrelated predictions.

To answer the original question, I would find a sense of enjoyment in deciding a relationship via a horoscope, but that enjoyment would be sourced from willingly giving up my free will to something I know to be ridiculous. At no stage would I genuinely believe a horoscope to be an accurate way of deciding whether or not a relationship would succeed, regardless of any acts or charades I may put on.

 

In my opinion;

I don't think this matters. Being born in that Zodiac Sign doesn't define a person to me. I believe the person is who he/she want to be, get an example... me and my sister. I'm literally 200% different from her, but we're twins, born in the same day, but totally different.

You shouldn't believe that you're being born in that day would interfere with something in the future. That's my opinion.

 

Close to the same time, or far apart? Because that can change a lot of stuff depending on what Sforzato has to say. He has been saying for pages that it is not as simple as the day you were born.

 

I don't really believe in Astrology mumbo jumbo, so I don't think that it necessarily matters.

 

I don't think it matters...sometimes
I'm a virgo and my boyfriend is a Leo. My mom thinks we're going to be the worst couple out there because she's a Leo herself, but she calls herself the good side of Leo while my boyfriend is the bad side of Leo. Basically, she's saying that all he cares about is himself and money and that's how it will always be. He's going to be more outgoing and all the other bad (or middle) parts of the Leo sign.
I'm a virgo and I'm very shy. I care about nearly everything and I'm extremely clingy. We broke up once, got back together, then seperated, now we're back together again. So far, I think my mom is wrong. I mean, the first time she was right because when we broke up he tried to cheat on me with my surrogate sister. We got back together a year later and my mother hated it. But anyway, we're doing good. He cares about me, he goes to college, he doesn't care about just money, but he does have a small problem with my clingy nature. Other than that, we're fine together.

So I don't think star signs have to play any part in a relationship...sometimes (again) I think it all has to deal with how well you get along with the person.

 

Urgh.

Zodiac signs are complete bull, and to be honest I still cannot comprehend why so many people think they are reliable in any way, and that they actually make important life decisions based on them.

Whether or not two people can have a good relationship is down to their actions and choices, not what time of the year they were born.
