This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

While I understand where you are coming from, and respect you for your perspective, I disagree.

See, science does not care about feelings. It’s not that it makes me feel smarter, as I probably learned 90% of the things I know the hard way. I learned the hard way, because I USED to think I was smart or clever. Now, I don’t think like that any more. Now, I realize that every day I can learn something new and that I will never know anything expertly.

If someone calls you out, because you’re clearly saying stupid things, you should probably realize that maybe you ARE wrong and to maybe educate yourself further, so the next time you don’t look like a fool.

It is not my responsibility to baby an adult who has never had their beliefs challenged.

Yeah, same respect. I get it. But do you think you are the first person to tell them the earth is round? What are you actually attempting to accomplish when you speak to this person?
