I joined this site for a lot of reasons and there are some interesting threads here that answer all sorts of questions and display how many crazy, fun, and talented people are making this one of their stomping grounds.  So with all of that said why are there so many chearleaders out here just crying whoa is me and I have been wronged. 


Just shut up and work

Because all models are flakey and all photographers are shadey GWCs, doncha know? But hey, this is only the internet. If we were all "real" and "professional" there would be nothing to bitch about!

I know you are right, no disagreement, just talked to a long time friend and we were both laughing at the amount of people who brag and boast or bust other peoples chops,saying they are this and that.  So the thread came from that.

I'm not sure I've complained too much - but my main reasoning is usually to find out if its something worth complaining about...
Or possibly because it's easier to rant to a bunch of people that 'aren't really there' than it is to say yell at my roommate for an hour - get her grumpy - then have to deal with the both of us being in a bad mood...

The internet sometimes seems to get rid of the 'domino' effect...

"Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization."

Because dissatisfaction motivates change.  In every thread (almost regardless of the topic), and especially the most hotly debated ones, someone's thinking is refined.  Whiners are exposing themselves to the ideas and opinions of others.   There's a certain courageousness to that.

Whoa, dude... trippy!
