This is so true! As some others said, a few people are immature and apparently the only way they can build self-esteem is to troll on internet forums. So I just chill, take a rip from my bong and realize that the majority of people I have interacted with (not many due to my few # of posts) have truly been helpful and a joy to chat with. It is definitely a minority of people but they do their best to get noticed. I just ignore the idiots and interact with the adults. Enjoy the good parts of RIU and don't feed the trolls everyone! bongsmilie Cheers!

Hey People
Background: College student, Majoring in Horticulture, maining landscape/landscape design and green house management. And yes I'm young, being 19, but that does not mean I'm not serious or some "thug" tryin to grow all stealth away from his parents. I know a ton about Horticulture for someone my age.

For the most part I only used RIU as a part of my research guide into the questions I need answered.

Everyone once in awhile I'll throw in a post if I cant find anything exactly what I was looking for.

But recently, it seems like everyone just sits and trolls on here, ignores you, acts immature or cocky. Like are we suppose to be nice and helpful and not dicks. The only time you get treated "better" is if you've known been forever on here.

I just thought I'd put that out there, RIU is a great site that has helped me a lot, but it just seems like its not full of a lot of "respectful authority figures" compared to others.

I would love for someone to talk to me about this, that understands or something and not just get pissed because Im saying this, because I'm mad, I'm more upset and want to stay on the site, its just hard to stay here.

The best advice I was ever given here is to simply ignore the negative here on this site. Just like any other cannabis forum on the net. Stay positive and don't let that cancerous thing called negativity effect you.

Just focus on your vision. The reason why you joined the site. Anything other than that does not warrant your attention.

Trust me, this is the best path anyone can take towards this site.

All the Best!

It's spring break time for the high school kids, hence the increase in retarded posts lately

It is such a common misconception that weed makes people happy. It doesn't. Happy people often smoke weed. But some people are miserable fucks and they smoke weed to make it easier to cope with being that way. Such is life. We create our realities by choosing how we want to feel... whatever we feel is what we get.

That's alright man, honest mistake. I can see how contextually you might think I was referring to you indirectly or somethin.

Have you checked through the settings to turn off notifications?

I know you're busy going off and being angry and shit, so I won't take your attitude personally, but: You can choose how you want to feel about any given parameter of reality. I didn't say you could choose whether or not famine exists... but you can choose how you feel about it's inevitable existence. That will redefine your reality instantly, if you can get your head to shift in that way.

See how upset you are about all those bad things that are in the world? I just go "Those aspects of reality are an inevitable counterbalance to other aspects of reality, and must be accepted at face value if I am going to enjoy my life." And then I do, I accept them as a part of our world, and I do my best to enjoy my life by feeling acceptance about both the smaller contrasting elements and the wholeness of the bigger picture.

What does white look like in a world where there is no other color? Black is there to balance it so that we can understand, hold preference, et cetera. If you believe in world peace, for instance... you'd never know it existed unless there was conflict. Then what would you believe? Nothing. Life is an elaborate painting. I would not have it any other way. How would you feel if someone outlawed all the colors they deemed "evil" and you were only allowed to see/think/feel/use colors that that person deemed acceptable? It would be a restrictive and limiting experience, and I am not interested in that. I have no interest in committing heinous crimes, but I appreciate that those who do act as a marker and a guidepost on the road of life that reminds the rest of us to keep on the path and be righteous and honor life.

Haha, so true.

I did not get a warm welcome at first. I elbowed my way into every thread with opinions and blazing truths. Now people love me. Go get 'em tiger.
