Venting about the vent... interesting.Anyway, a reason why they're making different topics for everything... is cause they might've thought about some other thing to complain about after posting their first rant... I'm not sure if the topic starter can change the topic cause I never tried it. O_o Yeah, I've been here for awhile and I don't know. At any rate, some people just have to release their anger in some way. Maybe if they start up a lot of topics like that, they end up... read more.
So we have The Vent, for people to complain. Well I think some people are complaining TOO much. I see that there are some people that have more than three topics in there, and some of them could probably be meshed together. I think that people should just have maybe 1 or 2 topics in there, one of them could be off all their vents, like their family/friend/boyfriend/girlfriend/people at work/school problems because i think those could very well be put together. And things that have to do with something different could be in their other venting topics. But I just don't see why people feel the need to vent about every single problem.
I just have a hard time really taking someone serious when all they do is complain. And at other forums people ARE looked down upon for having 20 million topics about things to complain about. Its just frustrating seeing people have several topics in the Vent, i feel they are just taking credits (you give credits in there right?) by boring us with their overly ventful life. Some problems just don't need to be vented about in my opinion.
But that is my opinion, for people to have less threads in the vent. To Have people have no more than two or three. Besides some people are complaining about the same thing...so i think there needs to be less of the same topic.
Don't take this reply at all personally, but my impression of the Topic is that you are taking an opportuntiy to complain about people who complain too much. See my point? I don't think you are a complainer, but there is a touch of comedy about your post.

Well it was actually a suggestion i made, and sent it to a mod. They told me to post it here, and then they were going to pin it or something like that.
I understand the point about me complaining about complaining...but I am just trying to address something that in my opinion is an issue.
i like reading other peoples problems because it jsut gets to be funny allot of the times..some of the things are weird/stupid *like my last post i made* but it is halarious no mater how many times i read it over.. except for people complaining about all of the ads on the forums..they should just be quiet or have them put on their site >_< then they'd complain even more!
The way I see it it is good to have different topics becuase even though you could put them in the same place the topic would start out as boyfriend problems and some people won't want to read about boyfriend problems so they will skip it and won't add their opinion but they might put in there opinion about girlfriend problems if they see the topic. Another thing is that they happen at different times and they sort of are different, two different genders and different types of relationships. It may look like people post here a lot because they have lots of things on their mind they want to get out and they do it on a daily basis but what is the difference of having it in 3 topics or one, it takes up the same space just as well and it keeps things organized. Sure if it is based on the same thing like having problems with 1 friend one day and a different friend the next but I really don't see a problem. I not trying to be mean or anything but I don't see a point to this topic. lol I see it from your point of view but don't think there really problem.
I agree with Plenoptic. Also, some people may have built up a lot of anger. Releasing anger is a good thing, because bottling it up can cause problems for some people (it sometimes does for me). Everyone has a right to vent. Even though it's been a while since I was last on here, I have made a few topics in the vent myself. Also, I like to read about people's problems, and if possible, help them (though I'm not very good at it). We all have a right to voice our opinions, however.
like i said earlyer, i think it is funny, but i would also like to help some of the time, but my solutions to their problems are far to violent for this forum to withstand >_<
Yeah, I agree with Albus on that. The Vent is wonderful! It is a place for people to blow off whatever their day has brought them. It is funny, and it's always nice to say: "Hey, calm down. The world is not going to end." I also admit that some people always have problems, therefore, will be posting here all the time. But, I still support this forum 110%!
right, the Vent is a nice place, even though some people seem to complain too much...
it might seem reasonable to put your own complaint into another thread about a similar thing ... but in the worst case, this could start a debate about who's suffering more, that would be kinda contraproductive, wouldn't it? (oh, by the way, yes, I tend to point out the bad things so they can be improved and forget to mention the good things, I hope you can deal with that =))

At any rate, some people just have to release their anger in some way. Maybe if they start up a lot of topics like that, they end up feeling better? Well, I'm not sure if anybody actually feels that way, but who knows... Humans can be pretty strange most of the time especially when put in stressful situations.
lol, i am looking through your post's for no reason once so ever, and i come across this, i keep browsing through them... and suddenly i relize that more than 50% of all the topics yyou make... are made in the vent...
lol this topic is coming back to but you in the butt?
Not really, because i still think one thread is suffient but since everyone else makes several threads...i might as well go with the flow you know?

I think that it is fine that people vent here. That is what this specific forum is for anyway. It is best for people to express their problems rather than keep them to themselves because it is proven that it is best if you can express yourself. You say that they could combine their complaints but that would make topics be only 1/3 on topic most of the time. If you do not like people complaining so much just do not visit this forum.
Hmm... the complaining about the complaining part was interesting Twisted irony, but I think you have a point. I am a seasoned complainer myself, but I try catch myself red-handed when I can and then I try to divert my attention to something slightly more productive.
While I'm quite neutral as far as the issue of people posting multiple vents is concerned, I must admit that complaining about things has never gotten me anywhere, sadly It's nice to hear someone saying 'bin there, buddy', but, I'm not sure it's really helped. Maybe the pysco-analysts (spelling?) will explain that it reduces emotional tension or something, but of late, I've been finding it easier to get to work as opposed to picking out random elements from problems[1346] and elaborating on them
Cheers!
PS: Oh I hate my coffee maker, by the way... did I mention it makes these horrendous noises even when all it has to do is make plain, black coffee? And I always add the sugar when I don't need it... I'm sure the machine has got something to with it, dam*-it! :oops:
I hate people who complain that Vista stole ideas from Macs OSx10, I'm going to refer to these
people as "idiots". Well, for one thing unless you are a Musician/Video Editor/Graphics designer,
then why do you have a mac in the first place? There like motorola: all style other than that they
are terrible... This should probably go in the 'trappedinshit' area now i think about it
but nevermind! Anyway well idiots state that Vista stole ideas which is true: The reason why I call
these people idiots, well, here is an example Mr X makes a brand new site the co....
well, it's not really a vent but it's not something i need help on either. i've just

answer i can think of is that trap17 makes my emotions scramble with all sorts of emotions that are

Well here is my Vent . Anything said in this vent, can't be used against me in any other
thread, this is my opinion and f you don't like it don't read it. Actually thats what this
Vent is about, I can't believe the number of members that Post replies to topics that they
haven't read, They read so much then reply, And what they had posted in their reply was
explained in a link on the first post. If people want to dis Peoples post's then go and read up
on what is been talked about, then you will have a stronger case when you oppose their ....
We use this vent so gracefully without even thinking how it feels,but happily,this thingy cant feel
so its kinda alright.Ever been in a situation where the person in front of you is clearly using you
as a vent for his frustrations?The weird part being that you can retaliate,but something inside of
you sort of prevents it. You now that you can fight back and shatter the whole purpose why the
person approached you n the first place,your insides are screaming for payback,but nevertheless,you
keep quiet.what would you do in such situations?....
Just recently in my town an issue has come up that has my whole campus in a fluster. I was reading
my colleges news paper and right on the front page, first article, in big bold letters, "OUTDOOR
DRINKING GAMES MAY FACE A BAN" Ok, being a local to my town for the past 9 years and I am now also
a student, I have realized how biased this "News Paper" actually is. To begin with, the reason this
ban has been brought up because there is over 75 Beer Pong Tables outside on peoples porches (it is
currently fall and its cold so there where a lot more). However, the article mad....
Hi everyone! This is just going to be one big rant cos i am so angry and i have to get it out or
ill explode! One of my best friends (who i also happen to have feelings for) has a boyfriend, now
thats a bummer on its own to me but it gets worse! Her boyfriend is an abusive (damn wish i could
swear), pathetic excuse for a "man". Me and all my mates are only 17 and so is he but hes so abusive
to her! Theyve been together for just over a year and as much as it upset me at first i got along
well with him becuase hes into computers etc and so am i so we had plenty to alk ....
I hate it! My teachers used to copy 800+ papers for dumb one-sided crossword puzzle/coloring
assignments. Who the hell does that... oh wait, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY TEACHERS. That's stuff
for elementry students. And there was always 500+ copies left. They only needed to copy like...
50-100 sheets. That caused a major paper shortage in the school, teachers had to bring in their
own. Serves them right. Stupid bubbleheads. It really ills me when people just scrape a perfectly
fine sheet of paper because they made a mistake the size of a quarter. I did that once by mist....

I love The Vent. I love complaining about things. But sometimes I love using bad words. So anyway
let me get to the point of this post. The moderators claim that many young children visit this
forum, so therefore it is OUR responsibility to control our language, right? I believe this is
absurd. If a young child visits this forum, or any other vulgar site, it is no one's fault
except the parent's. The parent is the person that should monitor whether the child is exposed
to bad words, it is not our job to do so. So therefore, I think we should be able to use lang....

called christmas break because we are breaking for christmas, not hanukkah (looks at me) or Kwaanza

UPS (United Postal Service) and FedEx (not sure what that stands for) are the two major shipping
services here in the United States. On Friday, I ordered a new PocketPC, some extra flash memory,
and a flash memory-to-USB adapter from New Egg. I knew that, in order to get the package here on
time (I will be leaving for a trip early tomorrow morning and won't return until late Sunday
night), I would need to use next day shipping (since it takes awhile for the shipping info to clear
the New Egg office/warehouse). I saw about a 5 dollar difference between the UPS and F....

I just looked at my topic 'Women' and saw it was closed because it invoked some harsh
emotions from people. Honestly so what?! This forum was made for people to vent about something

let go of the evil spirits, words, or w.e. For it to fuel the whole "sexism" or "he's an idiot"

In my school division we take matyh on the internet, which you know isn't bad, I like Internet,
I like math. Best of both worlds! But when the teacher signs off for the day there is no getting

and despite how much I like interent, I still prefer earning from the book (for math anyway). But
when things start saying obvously, that really bugs me. A text book should never say obvously,
except maybe in a quote, or Dr. so and so felt that it was obvous... But if the ....
