and you think having more votes than actual legal voters is not an issue.... that's very interesting.
Your post was great and informative. I do however think NMP are at fault . Its been a great help to me in the past , but since everyone seems to be obsessed with covid its like those who dare to say they don't believe are jumped on . It is difficult enough with anxiety but it makes it worse when 99% of the forum members are in agreement with each other so the minority feels bullied and singled out . This is why I think admin should make sure this doesn't happen , it is happening as it is happening on this thread . I've been called deluded already from someone ,and the first line from admin was 'covid is real' fair enough I respect her belief but as a person who has run forums in the past I know that if a minority is being ganged up on it will cause division and fallout . On an anxiety forum it is more dangerous as we are all highly anxious that is why we are here , so it is very important for admin to make sure it is fair and that we all feel we are being fairly treated . It's also been suggested I try another forum that shares my belief . I'm pretty sure that if we all believed the same thing life would be boring.
One thing I am certain of now is that I won't be asking for help for my anxiety on here as I feel I don't fit in .
Is having to wait 120 seconds between posts because I am new or does it apply to all posters and on all threads and topics?
That is a sad testimony to a forum claiming to help, if we cannot bond a purely a equal human level, we are in no position to help anyone. I really hope you find great friends on here who can help you in your darkest times to see there is always tomorrow the sun will always rise.
But the world IS over-populated; in my lifetime it has more than doubled, from 3.27 to 7.7 billion.
That sort of growth is unsustainable and we are seeing the negative effects already. both in climate change and in zoonotic diseases where man is encroaching upon the habitats of wild animals. The idea that perpetual 'growth' - both economically and in terms of population is desirable - is foolish and will only end in disaster.
In poorer and developing countries, life expectancy is poor and infant mortality is frightening, so large families are the norm - because many of the children will not survive into adulthood. This is because of extreme poverty and poor sanitation, as well as disease. By developing vaccines to destroy these diseases and improving sanitation, people can have smaller, healthier families that will be more productive. This in turn will reduce the impact upon planetary resources which, let us remember, are finite.
Fine, I give in it is all my fault and I am fully to blame for you feeling bad so I am sorry about that. There is no point arguing with you so I may as well just agree.
Hope that makes you feel better now.
If anyone else would like to tell me that I am to blame and so is NMP then please go ahead. You won't get banned I promise.
