WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE THESE DAYS???


I have not been on here in a few months and it seems that this message board has gone CRAZY. People posting Mariska is untalented, unattractive, homophobic...etc! I thought message boards were about asking questions, posting things that are TRUE and showing your SUPPORT for the actor or actress? Am I wrong? Please, someone correct me if I am!

I LOVE Mariska and support her. I will ALWAYS support her, unless some kind of PROOF comes to light about something that she has done WRONG. Not by public opinion wrong, but WRONG- killing someone in cold blood, hurting a child, stealing from the poor for her own financial gain...etc! This is the type of stuff that I mean by WRONG. Not her opinions, her PERSONAL life that is PRIVATE!

This is just me, this is my OPINION. But someone tell me if this is not what these message boards are SUPPOSED to be about. SUPPORT!



MARISKA- YOU ROCK AND YOU ARE THE WOMAN!!!

People can talk any smack they want about anyone here. The board isn't just for fans or positive posts, unfortunately.

I don't procrastinate...I reschedule.

I like the information I can find on Movies and actors....talking trash doesn't belong on here...It's not the Perez Hilton website you know....

According to iMDB, trash talking is allowed, unfortunately.

Yes and no. These are DISCUSSION boards, not simply "message boards." You're also confusing a discussion board with a fansite. IMDB is not a fan site it's for discussion.

They can be for support if that's what the purpose of someone's discussion is. Odd that you emphasize that this is YOUR opinion, yet you don't seem to be tolerant of others opinions unless it supports yours.

For the record I have NO PROBLEM with people and their OPINIONS... It is when people post things about others that MAY or MAY NOT be true about them that I have a problem. If you don't like someone- that is your OPINION as is mine that I like Mariska. However, it is truly unnecessary to make comments about a person's character, that we as a public do not know is FACT! I may not like that someone on here say's that she has no talent and should not be acting- it is their right to their own opinion, EVEN though FACTS speak for themselves. She has won MANY awards. BUT, there again- it is their opinion in not thinking she is a good actor. To STATE she is homophobic without knowing her is WRONG. I don't know one way or the other, that doesn't matter. What should be here is opinions. That person could have said that they think she is homophobic or that their opinion is that she is homophobic. THAT would have made a difference.

My main point of this is: We as human beings take so little into consideration of what we say. There is stuff stated all the time about something that has happened, someone is gay, someone is straight, someone does drugs etc...Unless there is PROOF, it is not right to make the comments. You never know who reads this stuff and how it effects a person. I am not just talking about here on Mariska's discussion board, I am talking about on every FAMOUS person's board. Whether they are a director, producer or actor! IT IS WRONG. These are small changes that can be changed. There is no need for rude, unproven remarks about other human beings. I still believe there is good in most people- somewhere deep down. OPINIONS are one thing, but to just say something as fact is WRONG! That was the point of my post, not saying that others are not entitled to their opinions. True, I don't like someone saying something negative about someone on their discussion board...but hey, it is a free country. If you are stating something as fact, then back it up with PROOF!!!

anthropo- I appreciate your comments. This is a message board and a discussion board. So maybe people get confused? Who knows. I just think there is a nicer way of giving a negative thought or opinion. The world is screwed up enough as it is. Why add more to it on something so minor and simple as this? Thank You for your thoughts. Keep up with your thoughts and your opinions. They do count!

ilikewriting- Thank You for your support in what I had to say. I appreciate your speaking up and giving YOUR OPINION! keep up with your thoughts and opinions!

Poppy76- Maybe it is time for it to stop. The world is TOO negative and it would be nice to go someplace to discuss something good. Luckily- there is not too much bad stuff said here on Mariska's site. So it is not TOO terrible! Thanks for the comments! Keep up your thoughts and opinions!


MARISKA HARGITAY ROCKS FOREVER!

It does belong on here, it's an opinion board.
