So I'm supposed to pretend there's a gun to my head and I'm forced to choose, right?

Myself. I can have sex with as many people as I want, but I'll only ever make love when I masturbate.

It's cool to be world-weary in junior high.

Then again, I remember middle school, it fucking sucked.

Junior high students generally haven't seen enough of the world to be weary of it. If by some chance they have, and they're already jaded, by the time that they're 20 they're going to be so beaten down that no one will want to deal with them. Have fun with that.

The other option, affected cynicism, is pretty lame.

Cynicism is no more or less than a disregard for sentimentality, and mistrust of the generally accepted versions of things. All else depends upon the individual in question.

I stand by my statement. Pretending to be cynical or world-weary, for whatever reason, is lame.

Look, Pinstripes, just because you have an awesome avatar doesn't mean I don't completely agree with you.

uhh, no it's not.

Quote:
cyn·i·cism
noun
1. An attitude of scornful or jaded negativity, especially a general distrust of the integrity or professed motives of others: the public cynicism aroused by governmental scandals.
2. A scornfully or jadedly negative comment or act: "She arrived at a philosophy of her own, all made up of her private notations and cynicisms" (Henry James).
3. Cynicism The beliefs of the ancient Cynics.
Cynical attitudes are cool when you're a young adult going through puberty. There's a bunch of chemicals running through your body, wreaking havok with your emotions. This leads to the mistaken belief that the entire world exists to fuck with you. When you actually grow up a bit you realize how silly and ego-centric such ideas are.

JCC's smart. He'll figure it out in a couple of years.

Sure. I was just responding to the idea that cynical teenagers WILL be alone by the time they hit 20 because they must, by necessity, be deeply embittered and at the beginning of a decline into becoming utterly tedious people.

Oh, come on, they're basically different words communicating the same idea. Don't make me run with dictionary.com's example and break it down.

Where's the cynicism in me saying I'm good?

I may become smarter with age, however it heartens me that Despanan is so far down the ladder at his age that I could take up rolling in pig shit as a hobby and still piss on him from a great height.

Feel free to post breasts at will now, genius.

You don't mean that, JCC. Don't let those hormones control you - I KNOW there's a cute kid who just wants his mommy to hold him inside that hard exterior.

FIGHT the hormones

There's no hope for him Apathy. In 3 of the 5 boards I've joined the alpha-troll used a joker avatar. (Of the other 2 one used a ICP clown and the other used a cartoon of a bulls ass.) Draw your own conclusions.

What are you saying, Man in Room 5, that buying into the Joker's vision of anarchy is... mainstream?

Well, clutch the pearls, Ethel... well, I never!!

OK, you can come to the bar with me and Apathy, but you have to buy the next round.

No! [pounds on your chest] Just because he has the avatar, doesn't mean he has to be a troll! He can fight the cynicism!! [dissolves into tears]

I'll buy the next round. Just don't ask for absinthe and pretend to be drunk after one sip. I hate that.
