I’m sick of all the pessimism, cynicism, negativity, and general bad news. I’m usually caught up in it myself.
It’s time for some optimism. Post up stories, news articles, and other anecdotes that do a little bit to preserve my faith in the human race.
Here’s one: Geniuses who will change your life. Article about some of the greatest scienctists of our times, and what they’re doing for the world.

someone didn’t take their prozac this morning?
Get that cuddly “Save the world” bullshit out of here. No one wants to read that.
Some of the things are pretty cool though.

Count them. 275 Tranformers from the '80s. 101 Autobots, 81 Decepticons, 92 licensed products, some never removed from box, some mint-in-box, all ready for the mother of all battles. Sold for $1,000,000 at eBay in a story full of drama, love and cartoon passion that started out of pity for Starscream.

Or, Biel always works too…
oh, and there is a WOOT-OFF going on!!
How about this one:
Guy gets out of jail early, almost chokes a woman to death, then takes her 5 year old daughter and tosses her to the gators in alligator alley. The kid was alive when the alligators attacked her, crushed her skull, and ripped her arm off.
Not what you were looking for huh?

lol more like I did take it. And +karma to you for the ass pic. Definitely makes me glad to be alive. :tup:
Hm, I looked on the BBC to find something of this sort, but couldn’t. 
Eh, I can agree, being surrounded by haters and negativity all day can really make you feel like a piece of shit inside.
:word: I’ve gotten way too cynical lately. Time for a paradigm shift.
It’s tough to find news articles. Tragedies get attention, not good stuff.
Shut the fuck up don!

The police are trying to get to the bottom of what happened in the pit/child sodomy case, not just chalking it up to another dangerous pit bull. Plus over 20 people have called in asking to adopt it. Hopefully not just freaks looking for a dog that’ll fuck them in the ass.
