Can YOU Be Nice For ONE Week?
I have a challenge for all of us here on JoeUser. It's not a complex challenge with a lot of rules, and hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to meet (at least I hope not).
So here's the challenge:
For one full week, Sept 28th - Oct 5th, do not post any mean or nasty or hateful articles. This means anything insulting the left, or the right, or religion, or a political figure. Do not attack other users for their beliefs, do not insult anyone because they disagree with you (in both articles and comments). Take a page from Thumper and stick with the "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"
In recent weeks, we've all gotten down-right nasty and vile towards one another, slinging insults and being jerks in general for no real good reason (I'm sure we all think we're justified, but in reality we're probably not).
So, can you go one week without posting anything mean or angry? Can you go one week without insulting entire sides of the political spectrum? Can you go one week without assaulting religion? Can you go one week without assaulting each other? Can you avoid all of that for one week and STILL post articles and comments?
I ask this because I wonder sometimes what some of us would do if we couldn't post our angry rants. Do some of us have anything to contribute aside from rage and self-righteousness to this site? I don't know honestly... and I'd like to find out.
