    Think Yes, we are just a bunch of kids at heart. Would rather be that than anything else. :D

    Yes! That's what I meant. Grudges are very nasty, and take up so much time and energy. It's much better to forgive, forget, and move on. :3

    @ Flying Bunny.
    Most adults aren't even adults, we're just a bunch of kids at heart posing as adults. Coffee But those types of adults are the best kind. :D

    Mhm I get what you're saying, kind of like forgiving and forgetting. Grudges are nasty little things, it's a shame we're all so quick to keep grudges against each other for little things. :c We just need to have an open discussion about how to deal with one another in a better way.

    Thank you. Arms

    What makes them bad is when you express them in a harsh and rude manner.
    This.
    I think this should have been said a long time ago. People need to learn how to accept people who disagree with them. Not every case is a personal attack, some actually are though.(I'm not trying to deny that.) People do need to think about the words that they use in debates, like for me it is super easy for me to come off as a twat, my cousin tells me she hates getting into anything serious because even when I'm trying to be comforting and nice the words I use make me sounds like a giant twat. Facepalm But this is a website with many different people, from all over the world, different cultures, raised different ways, with different morals, religions, superstitions, mannerisms, etc. It would be unrealistic to expect everyone to behave like adults (even adults fail at doing this) and accept that their opinions aren't the only one that's right, and that they aren't the only one who matters. We're going to get into arguments, may be over something small like tea or purses vs wallets, idk. But when the arguments are done and over it would be nice if people didn't hold it against someone.

    For instance say you and I got into it over which pokemon is the best. We both felt our team is the one and only, but I would hope after that we'd still be able to talk about other things. Or maybe once we cooled off one of us could message each other and be like, "Hey, sorry for getting all in your face, both of our teams are pretty amazing." And that's the end of, none of this dragging it out for days, weeks, months at a time. If that makes sense. Think
