I disagree with you here Beve.

"Positive people" are 'positive' because they have the means opporunity and attitude so that they can change their experience of distress or discomfort. A child born with foetal alcohol syndrome, already addicted to heroin or some other substance, handicapped with a learning disability or any of a plethora of situations about which they can do nothing....fight and struggle from the beginning. People become positive when they're born into the right circumstance or are prepared to victimize others to amass large fortunes.... "Positive People" smell bad becasue they don't care where the money came from that they carry to preserve their notion that they're entitled to the exclusive happiness of the elite.. It's a news story that makes headlines when a poor humble person is declared responsible for some act of selflessness..... just like the news stories about how terrible and how horrible the suffering of Paris Hilton and the like all experience when they're caught doping it up or shop-lifting or behaving like the spoiled children they are....

We make a big fuss when a "nobody" puts themself into harms way for the benefit of a stranger or someone they may well never meet again.... I'm not sure what folk participating in this thread "think" of as "positive"......

Maybe it's the power and prestige of wealth or political office....George Bush is a "positive" person.....

Me niether. I can't for the life of me imagine how they arrive at positivity without opposite but equal negativity. Sure I can understand thier thinking that someone like me who dwells on the ills of the world as being negative but that's way to simplistic I can't imagine getting to a positive position anyway other than through the negative. Maybe I'm nit-picking but people who overly exemplify the positive as if it spontaineously pooped into thier heads frighten me.
George Bush is a perfect example he maintained a positive attitute all the way through snuffing a million and a half Iraqis who he insists are better off for the war and wholesale carnage and genocide.

I figure it's a positive thing when someone refuses to give in to the odds and survives. If I listened to the docs and believed what they said about phantom pains, I'd have been condemned to a chair many years ago. If I'd heeded their advice, I wouldn't have got to see almost all of North America through a windshield. If I'd surrendered to the face that haunted me, I'd have never experienced the pride of owning my own company. Sure there have been negatives - like losing it all to Free Trade, GST and divorce, a losing battle with a fire hose, a bust for using a painkiller the law doesn't like, a war with Ontario for some fair treatment. The positives have got smaller. They're still positives. My sights are set lower. Instead of WCB, I have to survive on ODSP. So what? I still appreciate the win. Even after being Code Blue at Memorial ... and meds whose side effects pretty much guarantee a single life ... I'm still alive. Hey, my kids and grandkids like me and so what if I smell!

Ha! Where does the government buy teeth? You're not in Ontario are you? Insurance company was even hard sell.

I'm in BC and I think the government will buy teeth - I'm not sure. I just see that most hippies seem to have teeth so I assumed the government bought them. It seems to me most hippies (aka ex-hippies) work for the government now anyway.

Simplistic.... I find children to be the most positive people of all, even those born into difficult situations. My "niece" is almost 5 and was born with little chance of surviving. She isn't negative and neither are her parents. They've managed to fight and struggle through many things in their lives without becoming negative thinking people. I've seen other parents with far less to deal with be very negative

Yeah, but do they stink? lmao

Seriously though, I agree. I should also mention that it is actually negative people that stink; or rather stink more. I prefer to be around more positive, less smelly types. hehehe

lol Can't beat em, join em, huh, Scotty? Lotta hippies turned into yuppies, too.

I know it! And they have destroyed the world.

Look at the data: global warming was a lot less prevalent when the boomers were born but as they have aged the planet has warmed up! Before we know it we're going to be like Venus!

Hippies, not carbon, have killed the world! It's scientific (or what passes as scientific these days).

That's from all the pot smoke and the sweating during free-love rgies. Extra heat, extra smog. Damn hippies. But boy, they'll die with smiles on their faces. lol.
