Agnostic.com is especially good for those of us who live in the Bible Belt. There are very few people I can talk with in my town who share my point of view. It is refreshing to find other atheists to correspond with. 🙂

The point?

I don't get the point of coming on a site to be an unapologetic aggressive asshole and then saying, but if you don't like it then fuck you. Well how about just ... fuck you! And fuck off! ??

Im not saying fuck off to anyone in specific im saying fuck off to anyone that doesnt like the way i use grammar and punctuation or the lack thereof thats all if one has to call out my lack of that in my bio thats where it rooted from that should not be important to anything just saying i nvr directed any fuck offs to anyone in specific more of a sarcastic way if i was bitching caps lock is on then i would probably be calling specific ppl out someone said open my mind well my mind is open seemingly their mind isnt open apparently one can't make a simple comment without being judged from the get go just said if one so an so they can yeah but again ppl are putting words in my mouth so to speak but whatever

Clearly you don't get the point of writing structure, paragraphs, punctuation, sentence structure or composition. So the people of the site are probably not going to get the point of your bio. So what's the point of this post?

No i don't care about that as i said if one don't like how i write fuck them if ya can't understand plain english its not my fault i don't write in other languages

4

Oh and one more thing if you don’t get or like sarcasm then I’d suggest that you run now before it gets dark. ?

3

And we don't get the point of your BIO....your lack of knowledge as to how the English language works is mind boggling.

You can go now. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

Troll.

Dick face i know how the english language works but as i said before i don't care this is not work related not writing a book or important doccuments my bio and how i write have nothing to do with my intelligence you all are judging me cuz im not up to status quo im beyond that we all should be we need to make a stand and get out of the horseshit were in the world is way bigger than grammar and fucking punctuation but you all want to make such a big deal out of it who is the not me just cuz i choose not to use it i think it shows more intelligence if one can comprehend stuff without punctuation and proper grammar but you ppl are just seemingly too small to see past a few symbols ridiculas really

@dml420 I’m not reading anything you write until you learn what paragraphs and punctuation are.

@SkotlandSkye fuck off

@dml420 Are you still here? You may go now. You are not needed.

Nobody wants to read a wall of words. Without punctuation, your writing is unreadable.

Clear communication is important. Online dating is a written, visual medium. Many people use writing quality as an opportunity to assess others.

We use written communication more regularly now than ever before. Text messages, social media posts, e-mails and comments are all modes of communication that typically rely entirely on written words.

@LiterateHiker only if you can't read

@LiterateHiker yes words not symbols only when needed and thats not here or any other social media site we are nit in school at work writing a book or an important doccument this is where we should all just be calm and relaxed cuz it is all hogwash keep ppl occupied keep the blinders on what they are doing that were not supposed know about so me this is not important like the steted cases above so i don't care and if one can't understand something without them (the symbols) theyre illiterate or just plain stupid you all are obvuously reading it and understanding it but bitching cuz theres no punctuation but i don't care if one didnt bring it up this conversation wouldnt be happening all cuz someone thought they were going throw me off with me not using punctuation or grammar in my bio when it had nothing do with my comment so ive just been defending myself since then its so rediculas that this is such an issue get over it and yourselves.......

Just to interact with people and have fun here.

And perhaps learn something or give a different perspective.

Hey dude if you do stay here I want you to have this ok.
You’re driving the grammar Nazis insane so now I don’t want you to go ?

Good gramnar is not important the message is

@dml420 Well it’s about to be dark so lace up your shoes dude

Generally when i do punctuate i only use commas to separate eagh thought and parentheses to put in thoughts or other things in here and there but if a statement starts with a question word one should kniw its a question other than that i mite put a few periods at the complete end or a few exclaimation marks fuck it of one can't understand it they are either not english speaking or dumb or can't read i learened all that miniscule bs in school like i said its not grammar and punctuation that is important its the message...... Nuff said

@dml420
If the grammar is nonexistent then the message is indecipherable.

@annmariet only to those illiterate or stupid

@dml420
I am neither of those so you are definitively wrong. Being a dick doesn’t make you right.
I own a successful business and three houses so I am clearly not stupid. I also know how to use the English language and I find it laughable that you are the one calling others stupid and illiterate. I have wasted enough time on this. Have a great day!

@annmariet im just saying if one can't read it just cuz of no punctuation they have issues but ppl just won't see past that im not saying anyone is wrong or right im just saying i don't care what ppl think about my and just trying to get my point across basically saying that ANYONE that absolutely needs these symbols to make sense of words needs help i can read anything punctuation or not it is NOT necessary especially in a non important setting such as this or any other social nedia platform thats all im saying but all you hoyty toyty fucks think that its gotta be there and as i have said we are not at school or work or writing important doccuments or writing a fucking book what the fuck do we need all that symbolism for i don't care if you answer me or not but if in your head the answer to that question is to separete and emphesize thoughts and ideas to make sense of the words thats my point if one is smart enough
and literate SHOULD EASILY BE ABLE TO READ ANYTHING WITHOUT PUNCUTATION AND UNDERSTAND IT NVE SAID FOR ANYONE NOT TO USE PYNCTUATION THAT ITS WRONG TO USE JUST SAYING ITS NOT NECESSARY IN ABSOLUTELY EVERY ASPECT OF OUR WRITING LIVES i am not a stupid person im trying to tell you ppl this but your so stuck in your ways that me trying gets you ppl all pissy in turn pissing me off so alot was just me trying to defend myself gwt off your horses just cuz you want to and think that you have to use punctuation doesnt mean that i do but what ever oh btw i havent been a dick yet this is just me normally.........

So?

it's a social media site, with a dating component. the point is to communicate socially, and maybe find a date/lover/whatever. the thing that makes THIS site different is that you almost never get people praying at you lol

I mean what were you expecting!?

If you’re here for dating like minded people then understand that this isn’t one of those pseudo porn sites most people communicate discretely.

If you’re here to share your views against religion then there’s plenty of that and the same with discussing science, arts and global news and events.

If you’re here to baaaa with the rest of the people against trump then dude you’re fucking HOME!!
But if you openly support trump well better put your armor on.

And if you don’t support any party then better keep quiet or put your armor on and your middle fingers up ????

Other than that it’s informative and global so it’s also entertaining at times. There you go hope it helps if not thanks for stopping by????

Why not? It's mostly chat and a little bit of finding a partner.

Actually, I can read & understand the run on sentences & could not care less about proper punctuation.

Thank you

Wow. I don’t want to fuel the fire but no one can decipher what you are saying if you do not break your thoughts into manageable chunks through use of punctuation.
No, before you say it, this is not court or school or work, but if you want to communicate then you need to actually communicate in the standard acceptable format and that includes things like commas and periods. You act as if this type of communication isn’t important enough to bother with correctness yet you want people to read what you say as if it is important. So treat it as such and maybe you would get better results.
I am always willing to try and decipher through typos and honest mistakes but seriously??

All you ppl are just too stupid to read words and not understand them without punctuation what the fuck is wrong with ppl youre just too ignorant to do so because thats how you were brought up again status quo needs to go ppl are too stuck in the system that it is making ppl absolutely retarded to not understand simple english just cuz theres no punctuation rediculas im not backing down on this its such a small thing that became so fucking big it raised my points up in this site so i guess i need to find more stuff to annoy everyone with to start another arguement like this get my pionts up more thanx guys for all the comments and replies.......

Theyre not typos and mistakes this is how i write in non important situations

@dml420 If we all are unimportant to you, get lost.

@dml4
Hahaha! Ok then. You clearly didn’t get my point and I am not going to bother to decipher your ridiculous block of text, the first line was enough for me! I am able to decipher but why waste the time it takes when it is an issue created through your own laziness and lack of interest In abiding by rules that make language work. Have fun meeting people with that attitude of yours!

That is because you are a level 3.

Waiter! I think there is a hidden, religious apologist amongst us.

Admitting ignorance is the first step of at least 12.

When you eventually get to level 8, you get a tee shirt and you can post it here. Just don't be a dick about . I'll be posting mine in about 3 or 4 months from now.

Youre going to get a lot of pretentious answers from all these fanciful idealists here aka the majority but the fact is It's basically another place for people to complain and troll.

Despite the denials you will see to my comment if one isnt blinded by delusion from denial you can just look at the posts and see all the whining and complaining and morons trolling like every other site.

My naivety had me thinking this app would have different, more open minded people but I was incorrect. There's even a shocking of people that believe in God on here lmao. I hardly even get on here. I left Facebook to avoid all the things that still happen on this app so theres really no point??.

It helps if you post and comment and get to know folks. - Maybe follow a few people simply because you like what they post.

It even helps to make a few friends simply to widen your scope (and hey - "Friends!" ) - because if you are here to date they can look for folks who might match your interests too.

The algorithm for dating is far from perfect. Do you know how to search folks in your area? If not we can tell you how - just ask.

You might want to look at each group you've joined and make sure you have the notifications turned on. Every group page has these settings. See the attached screenshot.

I know people who met and fell in love here and now live together.
I myself now have a roomate - just from meeting on this site.

It is what you make of it. But you have to know how to look around too.

Why are you ppl being such jackasses i made a simple comment and i get treated like a retard what the hell...... I never thought this was a porn site i hate porn but ive been on this site now for at least 3 months and nothing happens here i don't get notifications of anything no one talks to me thats why i made that comment i have it set up so i should but nvr get anything from this site except gmails once in a great while saying new matches or whatever but thats it they say theyre matches but i look at their bio theres no way they match me but whatever im dumb cuz i made a comment i am not political or religious prove it is the way i see it about god or gods i believe we the ppl need to bring down the gvnmt not keep on standing down and obeying their bullshit but ya all are going to judge me for a simple comment dumb........

Chill out and stop acting like a child, we can help you if you reach out to us, but you need to work on your delivery. What you give you get back.

I agree with you that some people have reacted poorly to your post.

Like most things, this site is what one makes of it. Although it can be rather cliquish here and there.

@CaroleKay ok i get that but all i did was make a simple comment and im being treated like a pos so as you said what you give you will get they started the bullcrap not me

Grow up and be accountable. You really need to try harder. We can't give you what you want you need to do that for yourself. I'm leaving now, good luck to you, be happy and positive. it will get you farther.

You may want to check your settings. You may not have notifications turned on? It can happen.

But if you aren't liking posts and posting yourself? There won't be much that you'll get alerts on.

That's what generates alerts. Things you've expressed an interest in. Either in the groups or the general forums. That and folks you "Follow".

@Hebert54 thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard not calling you stupid just never heard a thought like that before is that really how ppl read like theyre reading out loud to a or something not me i must have the intelligence to breathe fine reading stuff without punctuation and proper grammar you learn these things and i instituted them long ago to save time txting not a fast one at texting or typing on a keyboard

nothing is SUPPOSED to happen. it's a site for YOU to do things, not sit back and wait for people to fall at your feet. your english is NOT plain english. i don't make initial caps. that bugs some people. however, i think my stuff is easy to read, and i don't eschew initial caps out of laziness, or out of ego (read me as i am or screw you, which is what YOUR attitude seems to be). i have arthritis in my hands. this isn't texting. this is communication with all kinds of people, some of whom don't text, some of whom (like me) have bad eyes. don't be calling what you do plain english. it's NOT. anyway, you get out of this site what you put into it. so far all you've put into it are complaints and incomprehensible, long, unreadable, offputting posts. and by the way, telling you this, honestly, in response to your rude, babyish complaints that we're too stupid to wade through your horrible writing, is NOT treating you like a piece of shit, NOT acting like jackasses, none of the things you say. nope, that's not us behaving that way. look in a mirror.

Nothing happens here

You are in charge of your experiences here. You make it happen. You knew enough to be first to comment! 😉

Seems to , more like, "You don't happen here."
