I have known many of the complainers here for 7 years. What are you trying to accomplish with your political complaints here if it applies?

I have known of some of the Great Complainers here for Seven Years and nothing changes except what they complain about.

 I am not complaining but rather curious about this mysterious type of behavior. It seems to me like a truly concerned person would be spending their time in a way that would help shift things in a more desirable direction rather than complain without ceasing.

 Regardless of who is President, the complaining continues, there are hardly ever any breaks in the complaints of the complainers... it seems to be all on their agendas.

   I have been studying a few of you for quite some time and the studies have lead me to theorize that either you are working for someone, promoting their agenda, either voluntarily or for pay or that you suffer from some sort of mind-control, whether a form of hypnosis or a cognitive disorder that allows you to be easily manipulated.

      I understand many people need to voice their concerns. What I want to know is do you have a feeling of superiority here and feel you can manipulate others' beliefs just as you have been manipulated or what is it that drives you to a website that is not specifically political or religious in nature to complain about these two things?
   
       Do you not have any people in your inner-circle to complain to?

           What is your goal behind complaining about political situations online?

              You are some interesting creatures, thank you for your continued participation in my study of "What Type of Person Complains the Most in Today's Society?". This is an ongoing study and although the results seem to be fairly clear, it is difficult to tell exactly what kind of person you are simply from online interactions.

   As I have mentioned earlier, I would like to know what drives you to complain on a daily basis, no matter the events of the day. The more you can tell me about your disorder, the more helpful it will be.

    You have any other platform?   Every few months you have to get on here and post this same thing.  You are just the Love Child of  Answer Mug aren't you WEY? 

    We know. You don't like people that complain about  subjects that don't matter to you.  It is far more interesting to fill a site with 300 camel questions.

    If you want to be absurd all the time and only fight and act like a troll bot when you feel the urge, don't expect anyone to take you seriously.
    I have heard this rant from you 50 times already.  Yes, you think we should all love one another except when YOU don't.  Get over yourself and this guilt trip you try to lay on everyone.  You are not Mr. Wonderful any more than the rest of us.  We are all human and we are sometimes silly and sometimes we just got handed ADOLPH HITLER on a platter.

    You were here last time posting the most hateful rhetoric possible on this site and causing all kinds of reactions.  Not any of them were about peace and love. 

    If you don't like what the gang is saying?  TOO DAMN BAD WEYBO.   This is the greatest loss this country has potentially ever suffered.  I happen to CARE more about facts than you do.

    I happen to realize that this country is headed for disaster.  So, take your guns and go protect yourself against that.

  • Several are flat out to the point of annoying ... I'd like to tell them to get a life, then I realize, this is their life. SAD .. 

    This place is quickly becoming known in a negative way. It's no wonder many have left for other sites. JA, put much into enhancing the site and catering to the requests of people, and for what. 

    Sorry, for getting a bit off topic .. A better fitting name for AM might have been answerBaggage.  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 18, 2016 7:19 PM MST

    This site has never been better. 

    If you do not wish for a site like this, perhaps you can post 50 camel questions.  IF this is more your speed.

    If not, what do you suggest?  I don't see you changing the format any.

    You are welcome to get a life yourself and sit down and write some OTHER questions. 

    Those who cannot, complain.  And keep JA out of this.  She did not create this site for Camel pictures or people who like to complain about the content either.

    If you wish for different content? DO the work.  Let's see your brilliant contributions.  I'm waiting.

  • Interesting thread :) I welcome the opportunity to offer my two cents :)  soo.. with the greatest respect i feel you are being slightly disingenuous about these complainers as you put it.. I think you aren't taking to account just how upset, disgusted, shocked, horrified they really are about what has happened.. and many a reasoning person would say that's with good reason.. 

    You ask why they don't DO something.. well what can they do? In reality most of us are powerless most of the time when it comes to politics.. and forgive me for saying.. particularly so with this president elect.. such is the animosity from the Trump supporters still such is the hate and condemnation..   What should they do? Protest? Go to the streets? Well people have but what good did it do? I am afraid the helplessness and powerlessness is a reality here.. so perhaps all people CAN do it talk about it.

    This is an outlet.. it always has been always will be.. that's why we are here.. some of the things people outlet isn't to our taste.. we don't like it.. but we cannot and should not stop it.. just as your viewpoint is valid so is theirs.. 

    You mention you believe they are doing it for a reason other than that's how they feel.. you mentioned they were doing it for someone.. some organisation.. perhaps paid by someone.. my honest feeling when i read that was that that could be seen as a rather dismissive or manipulative statement? Like oh you must be being paid to say that.. that is an attempt to devalue what was said .. to dismiss its validity...

    Similarly with the claims that they always complain..  Maybe they do...but it seems rather a sweeping statement.. almost as if it's meant to dismiss again?  Similarly your suggestion that these *complainers* as you put it do so from some sense or need to feel superior.. that's kinda a classic put down isn't it? An attempt to dismiss and devalue someone's points..  And for sure this would cover your suggestions that these *complainers* have some kind of mental disorder.. I think you mentioned the word disorder, as well as suggesting that they suffer from being easily manipulated*, subject to mind control, hypnosis etc..

    * can you not see how your words, although i am sure you didn't perhaps recognise this at the time.. are in fact particularly manipulative.. as if you are somehow trying to shame and control these people into not daring to speak or voice opinions?  You call them creatures.. and use other derisory words.. as if you feel or wish to present yourself as somehow superior...can you see this is a classic reversal of blame and manipulation.. trying to make out that there is something wrong with them..

    As for me.. I guess I complain a bit now and then - mostly I just react to whatever i see. .. hence my reply :P  But please let me reassure you.. I don't do it from any sense of superiority, I am not paid, nor a volunteer, I don't happen to have any mental disorders and I am sure as heck not easily manipulated :P All I am doing is voicing an opinion.. :)

    See if you can look him up and read his questions.  That is what the site used to be like on Answer Bag.  A bunch of kids babbling senselessly to anyone who would put up with it.

    Just so amusing.

    Adaydreambeliever: For anyone who knows me, would know this is full of sarcasm.

    There are only a few who chronically complain, day in and day out. I have complained myself on more than one occasion.

    There are some who do nothing but complain though and that is the ones I am interested in knowing more about.

    Weybo can complain when it suits him.  I don't know if you remember this, but a few months ago, he was about as trollish as a person can be.  There was talk about having it out with him then.  We all decided to just ignore him.

    SO, he can troll and say utter nonsense for hours and it is cute and funny TO HIM.  His fan base left Answer Mug  and used to gum up the whole page with hundreds of questions about bananas and camels on Answer Bag.  That is the speed  we want on here?   How entertaining.

    It is funny for a short stint.  But when it is all you got?  It really does ruin things for the serious-minded. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at November 18, 2016 11:09 AM MST

    Having you ignore me would not in any way bother me.

    I have to value someone's opinion in order for it to matter to me.

    You DO value my opinion.  You know it and I know it. 

    I used to value yours. I am done.

    I do not intend to ignore you.  Dream on, kiddo. This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at November 18, 2016 11:16 AM MST

    I wouldn't call you a complainer excon. You are right, you do discuss it and I actually listen to and consider what you say and learn.

    I always thoroughly read your post. You are a good communicator. I think that is what it takes to be heard and have an impact on anyone. No one wants to hear how stupid they are and how bright the accuser is.

     I am surrounded by people with all sorts of differing beliefs, many within family and close friends, but we don't fight about it. We stopped that in Junior High.

    I'm sad you doubt others than Rosie is reading your posts. I know for my own part that I read most of them that are being posted while I'm online. I value them very much. I won't always have something to add but that doesn't mean I'm not reading them.

    Hello SH:

    Don't be sad..  I know you're a fan...  But, it would be impolitic of me to speak about my popularity.

    I'm not sure how you define fan. I do value reading your posts, and will agree or at least give it some thoughts when I read them. Call it popularity or what you want. I'd personally call it an interest in reading your posts. Thank you.

  • Hm, that's a tall order, I'd have to admit.
    To enumerate all the things I complain about and then explain why I do.
    In the outside world, I do my fair share of complaining, I complain about the time, it's either always too early or too late. I complain about others because instead of doing what i tell them, they want to think.
    And stuff. 
    I complain about others complaining too. 
    It makes me feel better I.suppose.
