"Wavs are not a popularity contest"

I always hated that quote and felt it to be very elitist.  But then again considering the 'leaders' at that time I wasn't that surprised.

Maybe it's my age, maybe it's because I'm married, I don't know..but I'm tending to agree with it more and more.

I know there are other groups, cliques, and forums out there on different topics.  And it would be incredibly hypocritical of me to suggest our group is the only one like this...but yet I can't stop noticing the increase of people who are on here simply for attention.  To the point where I'm wondering if liking sternutation is a sign of depression.

I've read far too many whiny posts for my liking, and far too many "I'm sick why isn't there someone to take care of me" pity posts recently.

I don't know,  maybe it's because my old man instilled the old "The first person that needs to help you is yourself" motif, I just didn't see this issue popping up when I helped start the clique 17 years ago.

Que sera sera.
