Things you thought were true but aren’t?
What are some things you thought were true but aren’t? This can include revelations from childhood or even something recent.
- I used to believe in Santa Claus when I was little. Like most parents, my mom used to tell me that if I wasn’t good, I’d get no presents. Well one Christmas eve, I cleaned my room and did all the chores my mom told me to (redemption on the last night…hehe). Somehow I thought that my last minute deeds would guarantee me some presents from Santa. It didn’t occur to me at the time where the hell Santa would park his sleigh and reindeer considering we lived on the 6th floor of an apartment building. I figured he’d ”park” outside and come through the balcony or something. Well, despite my determination to wait for Santa to get my presents, I fell asleep in the livingroom and woke up to…NOTHING!
I guess it was my mom’s way of letting me know that I was too old to believe in Santa anymore. Santa that fat bastard!
- Something more recent…I used to believe that people were inherently good but as I’ve gotten older and become more aware of what’s going on around me, I’m starting to question that. The general trend in society is for people to look out for themselves. People look for anything they to sue over as personal accountability seems to no longer exist. Society is growing further away from religion and there seems to be a decline in morality. How often do you see people doing things out of the kindness of their heart anymore? *sigh*
(Even the stupid free ipod/tv links you see posted everywhere are intended to benefit only the person who posted the link. Now if that person made the effort to help the people under him/her obtain their completed referrals, perhaps the response would be better. <–I know…cheap shot to the free ipod/tv fanatics. hehe

What do you mean by “So what do YOU think?”
If you are referring to Choiiiiii… I think he’s a pudgy butt receiving queerbait.
If you are referring to the “good will of others”… I believe it still exists, sadly enough… when it’s there, people will take advantage of it… hence the reasons you see it less and less.
Eh I could go on forever about this “good will” issue, but I’ll just close here by saying that Choiiiiii is gay.. =) B
dude, you ask people what they think more than i’ve ever asked….bitch.
you and gomi can go fuck each other.
what are you calling your mom “fat bastard”?
Hey, take it to the olive garden- Wow you guys are like brothers.
Speaking of which- you can only rely on your family.
fuck you.
yes, i always try to give people the benefit of the doubt and believe that they are inherently good. but i learned the hard way, that is def not the case. =(
yo thanks for that pentagon link. your bro already gave it to me.
fuct up hunh?
anyway..the reason i contacted u on IM was i just wanted to ask how in plane site was.
yo dave, btw…what was that site again for free maxim/stuff?
I’ve been trying to help some of my other friends get it too, so I the thing about the free ipod/tv thing doesn’t apply to me!! YEAH BABY!
oh to be young again…where everything remains innocent and we live our lives without the worries of getting jaded by negativity.
options: be ignorant when you have to be and be happy…or be cold and bitter?
why don’t you help me get the ipod?
i believed in santa until i was 13… hahahaha isn’t that sad? ahhaa
santa claus doesnt exist? wtf!
i still think poeple are inherently good…just the percentage of those ‘good’ people to the rest of the world has gone down significantly. sucks
awwww….dont be a hater….it aint repulsive…..just let the homos have fun……
I think some people are “inherently” good because they think other people are- but as soon as they find out otherwise…
holy crap…that girl does look like jar jar!
haha…good catch!
I always knew people were inherently selfish.
people are good by nature..just that society makes them go the other way…..and i still believe that there are more good ones than bad ones and that’s y there is still love around us…CHEER on BROTHER!!!!
Whoa, hold on a second, you think people are inherently good/bad?
Have you ever traveled outside the US? It’s a shame to base “innate” human traits on one country.
I agree,,,ppl now a days are all seflish bastards,,,most, not all,,,but too many….
I only believed in Santa Claus. That was shattered when I stayed up for him. I was wondering why mom wouldn’t let me wait for him in the living room when they were staying up as well. I heard my mom saying that the kids are finally asleep. My parents went outside ..and i saw them take out the gifts from the trunk!! I remember having all these questions in my mind and wanting to surprise my parents …lettting them know that I was awake and witnessed everything, but I fell asleep. I woke up with such an attitude towards my parents..demanding them to tell me the truth. Ah..good memories~
true.. not many people do things out of the kindness of their heart anymore.
