I think this might be the main reason why I stopped going to them, it gets awfully scary when people get into those topics. I have enough of an opinion on them to a degree, but I can't quite bring myself to defend it in a context where I don't necessarily HAVE to (i.e. it's not mandatory, although it'd be more ethical to do so).
And even in the case of ethical and philosophical ones, I've proven time and again that I lack the life experience to participate in them (e.g. I haven't 'suffered' with a capital 'S', and thus can't begin to comprehend evil and greed, and such).

When I was in elementary school we had this sandbox, and a spot by the wall of the box, underground, there were TONS of junebugs. We would dig them up, put them in buckets, and when we went inside we would hide the bucket somewhere, and carry some of the junebugs into the bathroom for our after recess bathroom break. We would put them into the urinals and stalls, watch them swim in the stalls and watch them try to escape the urinals. We would flush the urinals if they got too high, and sometimes we put all of our junebugs into one urinal and took turns using just the one.

We weren't the nicest of kids back then.

Kids generally aren't nice. Hell, I can't stand kids. Never want to have any myself.

I also hear they grow into people. That sounds awful

In elementary school I always defaulted to using the tire swings or the swings, if they were taken I'd play in the sand by myself. I still have memories doing exactly that. I was always quite the introvert it's very innate.

Only social activity I remember doing was I once joined a group with two other girls where we were playing powerpuff girls, of course I got stuck with Buttercup (More of a Blossom fan, although now that Im older Buttercup makes more sense) but anyways I just remember being happy to be invited to play.

...uhhh...other than that I remember playing house and always opting to be the pet dog. Once a furry, always a furry.

Semantics: it's always funny how people seem to think twice about calling children 'persons'. You usually don't hear people say Little Billy's a 'good person', you hear them say he's a 'good kid'. It wouldn't be completely harmless if 'person' didn't have implications of dignity and respect and worth attached. Of course, in the end children are the first to ellicit sympathy and such, but still... it's a potentially interesting discussion to have, how we don't always see children as complete 'people' for certain reasons, and the possible bad rammifications of that among a varied spectrum of mentalities.

Of course, your post equates 'person' with 'adult', and that's another discussion to have. Yeah, I know, I know, it's a joke, but you also see it in comments not meant as jokes.

I don't know, I'm sort of elucubrating here... and I confess speculating of theorizing is a thing I do, a lot, more than getting it done at times even.

I never had any friends to play with so I usually just wandered around trying to get away from the 5-year old bitches.
At the Pre-K, there was this tunnel you could crawl in and I loved hiding in there.

Omg that introvert thing is so me during the summer. Even these days if I'm at a park. The swings are the BEST place to relax and just think about things. Its where I created my first fursona before adopting him as an actual fursona.

In PreK-10th, I had like, maybe 10 good friends or less. I spent most of my spare time drawing and gaming rather than hanging out, as you could imagine.

Been thinking about a really shitty thing I did in freshman year of high school a lot lately.

I found a Renard shirt hanging on my sister's door, so I confronted her with it and said something along the lines of "See this? Wearing this to school is a good way to lose friends." She tore it out of my hands, threw it into her closet and slammed the door in my face. I never saw that shirt again. It's pretty much the only thing we have in common, and instead of building on that common interest, I acted like an insecure hypocrite (which I was at the time) and ruined it. There is now mutual understanding that we're both furries, but it's now too awkward of a subject to actually talk about with the exception of a few passing references or remarks. That whole incedent was years ago, so an apology would be too little too late at this point. I still sometimes feel like a dick because of it though.

Hm, the only friend I kept since pre-school or so, who's still my best friend, is a guy who transfered to our school from Japan.
He's totally guilty of getting me into their culture, that goof >:T

Aw that's sad :c
maybe she left it there to be found because she wanted to see how you'd react to it?

Speaking from experience, it's never too late to apologise for shitty things you've done. If my brother apologised now, for some of the more shitty things he did to me when we were younger I would be overjoyed. Instead, he pretends these things never happened and denies having any memory of doing them and laughs at how hurt I am over them.

I also feel I have no bond with my brother at all. He's grown up into a good person, some things aside, but neither of us is willing to break the ice and actually start becoming friends. On my side, I feel that I'm not the sort of person he would want to be friends with, so I treat him like any other person and don't force my company on him and let him decide to be friends if he wants. And on his side I feel that he doesn't care about doing anything. We live in the same house >.<

I miss my sister a lot since she moved with my mother about 90 miles away but at the same time whenever we meet up again we can't help but argue. We miss each other yet we still get under each others skin. Funny enough when we aren't together our relationship peeks, I miss her but at the sametime I'd be happy not seeing her.

I used to be real social when I was younger but my dad told me a few things that kind of stuck with me that kept me from becoming social later in life. Some of the things he said made it seem like what ever I tried to talk about was not worth even mentioning and that I should never speak unless I was spoken to. That really messed me up because even though that was over 10 years ago, it has stuck with me and it has an effect on how I socialize in person and in the forums. My relationship with my dad isn't really all that close even though he raised my brother and I himself for a few years before he got married to his second wife that I clashed with 95% of the time we ever spoke to each other.

Apparently my parents are very different compared to your guys's.

My dad has been using IE since it first came around. HE STILL HASN'T FIGURED OUT THAT IT IS CRAP. Chrome FTW.

It's as if we have to give older people a two day guided tour of the internets. Web browsers, youtube, hotkeys, cat videos, etc. It is so embarrassing to watch my parents when they try to show me something on their computer...I can't even look sometimes.
