Where is the aloha? - CheerDaFUP - 05-23-2013
Human garbage? I'm starting to think I'm better off socializing with the drug dealers in Pahoa than the curmudgeons that hang out on this forum. Why is everyone so unhappy here?

To coin a phrase, "Human garbage is as human garbage does." If you think there is no such thing, you either need to take a good, sober look around or get a patent on whatever it is that makes you have such a rosy view of humanity. One does NOT have to be unhappy to be a aware of a problem. In fact, such awareness can lead to solutions and thereby more happiness.

What's your definition of aloha?
Selling drugs on a bank step to kids?
Hassling people when they walk by?
Driving like a freaking idiot, endangering others?
Murdering people for drugs, or just because dammit they pissed someone off?
Now THAT'S some aloha...
*smile*
(note smile... cuz I'm pretty damn happy)

I'm here. I'm an old geezer. I'm happy. I have the Aloha spirit. Saw a bumper sticker a while back that I liked. Said "No talk ****!".

Nah I don't include myself. I simply pointed out that a majority of people here love negativity and this just happens to be the only online community in the area. I've been participating in online communities for over 15 years and I've never come across such a hostile unhappy bunch of folks just looking for things to bitch about. This website would be more aptly named PunaHate. Don't you guys like ANYTHING about living here?
RE: Where is the aloha? - Kelena - 05-24-2013
Yes. We like the fact that not everyone wants to live here and, by and large, we kinda like each other.

I see it more as "appropriate time/place for everything" -- venting here means I don't have to do it everywhere else. I'm not nearly so crotchety in person.

If you don't like what you see, you're not being held hostage or anything. Just like a TV, if you don't like what's on, change the channel.
