Trolling

Oh what bitter irony that some will fail to see,
When I became a trollish parody of what I want to be.

Standing up for myself and others has always been my goal,
If that makes me a baddie, so be it, but it's not me that is a troll.

Ive found there are some who will laugh and smirk,
Offer encouragement if it suits, when I act a jerk.

But hark there's a voice piping up from the dark,
Fuck that for a lark, I don't bite but I have been known to bark.

Self harm will make me cringe, religion make me whinge,
But to whine about kids posting quotes seems a little bit unhinged.

A mask slips to be replaced by polite complaint about what bores,
A friend to any child, except those branded instawhores.

Hear the call 'ranks are wrong, we are all created equal,
Apart from her.. And him, their voices just don't thrill.'

The party line can be a piece of make believe,
When quote posters are judged on what they achieve.

Don't disagree with the voice, or toys get tossed from the pram,
A debate brought to my door is nothing but a sham.

After remembering what it was that I stood for,
A claim that I u-turned to seek favour?
When reason over elitism surpasses,
A claim I'm trying to appeal to masses?

An idea so wrong, yet it makes me laugh,
Just like a watery fart in a bubble bath.
I said I would say it only once, but that just makes no sense,
Ive stopped acting the dunce, but that just makes you dense.

To choose not to interfere in children's chat,
Is surely not as bad as all that?
To scroll by a quote takes a mere split second,
It surely won't bring about world's end?

I simply can't understand why it makes anyone emotional,
A strong dislike for something that has no effect is after all irrational.

Girl-Whores

A lot of people hate girl-whores, simply because they're whore-y. But if people realized what girl-whores deal with in society, I'm convinced that people will appreciate them more. I certainly do.

I missed something? 😳😳😳

@sarahgamal nah, just me being me 😉

@Burrfoot I think the basis of what your saying is 100% true! But having foresight without these posts or the controversy around quote the "instawhores" this app could easily turn into Facebook and I would absolutely hate that! It could end that way! Just as it could sway towards a bloody dating site or anything else it shouldn't be! There has to be a happy medium and I think this is it!!! We talk, we highlight we all have different opinions! But whatever it may be people are reading this and subconsciously the message is being delivered! People copy and paste quote to the levels of extreme are invariably looking for a quick like or two or to boast or brag to friends etc they will see this debate and realise this app was not intended for that purpose! Obviously you can't tar everyone with the same brush as I post quotes too just as most people have! So in my opinion what were all doing now is the right route lol peace out and lovely post! 👍😜😘

@HingAling24 😉 well said 👍 plenty of room at the inn

Totally true!! I wrote about welcome to opuss but not to use for twitter or Facebook... lol I so so feel you on this!! If Opuss is becoming like Facebook or twitter, I know it will be the end of me.. I don't want to stay in place where everything just remind of copycats and fakers!

@insomnium part of what this and my other post is about is that I don't think there is an issue or problem with kids posting quotes, blogs, status type things.. As long as children are using an app where words and language are promoted I'm ok with that. Again, it's children I'm really talking about here, not so much the teens that do it, but even then, it really doesn't take any time or effort to ignore it if you don't like it. They're just joining in.

@insomnium whether you or I have to scroll past a quote copied onto the feed by a child, will not effect you in any way whatsoever, apart from making our thumb work a fraction more, but it might cheer a kid up having it 'published' on Opuss... And everyone else not into that sort of thing will just keep doing what they like to do.. Everyone's a winner 👍

To clarify, I don't give a shit about rank, I just like to have my posts read and liked. If kids want to post quotes to interact on a writing app, with other kids, then fair play to them, if kids want to seek likes via advertising on other social media.. That doesn't bother me either.. Opuss will grow and the gap in its sub genres will widen, that's how the owners will make money and that's reality.

@Burrfoot yeah so we don't want the copy and paste hypocrite twitter twits Facebook shits lol but if they are on here and their young or even If their not in essence it's all promoting the spoken word!! I can get that completely I just think without what were doing now that aspect could overtake the true cause!! But yeah in a nutshell it's all good in the hood (until its not) hahaha thanks for opening my eyes to this a bit! 👍😜😁

@Burrfoot I agree, it just as what @HingAling24 says about hypocrites.. What about plagiarism? That is issue I cringe about. I just like to read original. And actually I think people who are a writer were delighted when Opuss came out but was disappointed when they see that youngster use it for other reason than expressing one feeling.. I am sure many writers want more original works posted instead of those too many quotes and they DO have Facebook and twitters apps for iPhone and androids and yet they all come here and misuse it as that, I just think we don't need another Facebook and twitters... But I'm ALL for children to write and express,.. Many on here I have seen sure have fooled me with their writing. Something so advance for a mind of child. It really blew me out of water to see a small child's mind could comprehend something like this..

About ranking, I don't understand why it's there in first place

Plagiarism is different and wrong, but often kids don't realise until reminded.. But with the obvious one liners seen on every social media source, it doesn't bother me if 'unknown' isn't put at the end. There are 'status' and 'quote' headings.. This app has been developed to encompass all types of poster.. It's just that folk (myself included) have been spoilt because it's relatively new with smaller user base. That will change. Everyday there's loads of original talent which is in no way hindered by other posts. Opuss will never be another twitter or Facebook.. As for ranking, I guess it's there to encourage quantity from folk that are into it

@insomnium 👆

Look at @doctar he's prolific and a quality poster. The guy's mind must never tur

Turn off! And Opuss is a richer place for him being here IMO

True, I just hope it doesn't get there.. Ill check him out :) I do try to give everyone a chance- I'm not perfect either, and no one is :)

@insomnium I'm nearly perfect 😉😂

😂😂😂😂 then shall you sit in throne? Ha and I read his post, I do get it.. I guess it just isn't my style to like quotes unless that have a impact in my life

Live and let live 👏👏 Nice one burr 👍☕

I'm going to assume your comment about doctar was sarcasm, for the sake of my sanity.

I agree, kids are still relatively innocent and willing to learn while the teens already have their backs up. That said, I mainly only question those who beg for likes or demand that we help them rank up. Now that will get you sarcasm

😜 Ok we've both had at it, lets move on, alright?

Cheers @leelee101 .. Moving on 😉

@Jamtots nope.. He's been here longer than me and I really do think the way he expresses himself deserves 👏👏

@chickgamer agreed and thanks

@Irrational_Kimmi done 😉😘

@Burrfoot I kinda agree. He just expresses himself and doesn't care a jot does he? That does actually deserve 👏👏 IMO 👍
