ever had this happen?

[Broghan]

The internet is very irritating in the way that people aren't taken seriously sometimes.

[origami_alligator]

Really, ninja143, you just seem jealous of the attention your sister is getting.

even though i was the one that got engaged *BEFORE* she had her baby *Im* the one thats being jealous, I think its more that i deserve my right of passage since the engagement was the first thing to happen, not overshadowed because of some baby that happened to be spawned in the basement of my brother in laws parents house.

Out of curiosity, when is your "right of passage?" 6 months to a year from now? By the time the novelty of a baby being born has worn off you'll have plenty of attention from your mother, your friends, your spouse, yadda yadda yadda. It's great that you are getting married, taking huge steps into adulthood and such. But the needs of a baby are more important than the needs of an adult being married, IMHO, and it isn't very uncommon for mothers to want to go see their granddaughter when they are born. You'll have plenty of time to celebrate your engagement when your mom gets back from helping out your sister.

...taking huge steps into adulthood...

Including displaying such a mature attitude with this thread.

Well, were you planning to get engaged for the last nine months? Frankly, an engagement isn't that important. I think it's very cheap of you to evaluate the importance of a child in comparison to your plans to marry. It would be like if you announced your intention to have a baby some day and the next day your sister got married. People would be more interested about the marriage, which makes sense, because that's something that actually happened, and not just an arbitrary conception of a plan to do something. Look forward to your marriage and hope that your husband will pay the kind of attention to you that you apparently need.

Slappy: Just because she's a girl on the internet doesn't give you any right to go around mocking her posts and making fun of her. It's pretty sad that you took the time to write all of that at her expense. I've seen you do this before. To anyone reading it appears as though you're mocking ninja purely because she's a girl on the internet, and it really gets less amusing as you go on. Past experience with you has led me to believe that at any time on this forum, you're either debating or being a douchebag (and sometimes both), but rarely neither.

Yes actually I have been planning on getting engaged for the past 9 months but my fiance drug his feet, and i dont see why an engagement isnt important when you have to go throuhg an engagement to get married and you have to get married to have kids, unless your one of those that does it before you get married and then those are the stupid ones of this world. but yes i have been planning on getting engaged for quite some time. Ive also grown up being overshadowed, my sisters got thier wealth of congradualations and such when they each got engaged and they got more attention then you think that an engagement deserves but it seems that when its my turn to get it, i deserve to be treated like it doesn't exsist. I dont think thats very fair.

[kkstrong]

Oh my fucking god. Oh my fucking god. Oh my fucking god. Oh my fucking god.

[scythe]

Couldn't you guys have decided to announce the engagement, say, a few weeks after your sister's baby was born? A late-term pregnancy is pretty hard to not notice.

I feel kind of like the engineer who complained that the blind firefighters should play at night, now.

You are a bitch.

[ninja143]

You are a bitch.

Thats where I disagree with you. I am a human. With feelings, emotions, desires and need. I am a living, breathing entity that deserves to be HAPPY! Just like you. Just like every other human in this god forsaken world.

Back off.

Have any of you guys ever made a thread that you justified in your head as being about hearing about other people's experience but really just wanted a little self-serving sympathy in the form of internet-dwellers on the forum board for a 2D flash game about a ninja and then had your thread hijacked by an egotistical douche who is, nevertheless, often right and insightful spouting some poorly disguised tongue-cheekness?

No, me neither. Gosh.

Ooh! Is this a reference to when >stardeash threatened suicide?

ninja: So was your sister's baby a boy or a girl?

[kkstrong]

So . . . has this ever happened to you?

[ninja143]

Thank you Inspired, you are truly a great person. Thank you for the wonderful words you provided, and Im sad to see you go. I knew you were having to leave I thought I heard from Golfkid, and hope you do well in where ever you may go and what ever you may do. you truly do live up to your name of being Inspiring.

Thank you from Golfkid and I.

*Ninja143*

[Vyacheslav]

I sincerely apologise for the posts of some members in this thread (And will probably cop a lot of flack for this, but who cares). Congratulations on the engagement, and that goes for you to golfkid. :D

Also the point of the thread, well as Aphex said I have also had the A+ / A difficulty. But having two young sisters I can't go to the lengths of saying my sisters have had a baby. :P It must have been pretty difficult as you didn't want to show your disappointment at the "overruling" and wanted to give your sister the utmost attention. Hopefully the marriage goes really well. Good luck!

~Inspired

Agreed.

[golf]

I'm glad Inspired and Vyach can be two voices of reason in this thing. Pretty much everybody else, I know that this community can be sarcastic and have very biting humor, but I thought that you knew when to lay off. Evidently I've been proven wrong. This disappoints me.

Because they dared to dissent? It's all well and good to vent on the forums, but it's unreasonable to expect no-one to question you when there's clearly another side to the story that you might not be seeing.

I thought Tanner's comment was incredibly insightful. Would you rather that he refrained from the truth, instead, rather than post some "biting humor" and not know when to lay off?

[SlappyMcGee]

Let me say this; The point of this thread is entirely self-serving. There is simply no two-ways around it. Now, if you want to play into ninja175's self-serving thread, you're entitled to. I hope you have a great time listening to a B-member bitch about her sister. It isn't a serious problem, and indulging in her ridiculous topic with actual responses will earn you little than a boost to her ego. She might dole you out a pleasant comment on how great of a person you are, but why wouldn't she?

But if you want the absolute truth, I think that you are a giant failure at your so-called humanity. I think that you got engaged the day before your sister had a baby, which you knew was coming, and now you're whining that not enough people are paying attention to you. You are the one at fault here. Your sister has a literal lifetime of hardships ahead of her, airgo taking care of a baby through adulthood, and this is her moment. This is interesting, this is special, and this is still a time where she can sleep easy without hearing screaming waking her from chilling nightmares about diapers. If you've done anything here, you've actually infringed on her time; you've tried to steal attention away from /her/ moment. If she were on these forums, and she made a self serving post about how her sister was stealing her thunder by getting engaged the day before her baby was born, you might see her get a hell of a lot more sympathy.

But you'd still have the sarcastic assholes. :D

Holy shit, dude. I wouldn't be so quick to attribute to malice what could be more plausibly explained by accident.
You're an asshole, and frequently it's very entertaining, but by this point you've crossed the line between comically open criticism and belligerence.


golfkid,
For the record, I was being genuine. Then a bunch of assholes kept accusing me of being sarcastic and couldn't see through their zeal. I am happy for you guys and wish you the best.


Vyach and Wight,
You guys are cunts. You can feel free to tell me that I suck at being sentimental, but following me into a thread only to post that I'm unconditionally intending to hurt people is fucking ridiculous. That was, after all, the extent of your participation in this thread.

[SlappyMcGee]

Which is exactly the point I'm trying to make. Did she accidentally get engaged the day before her sister's child's birth? It wasn't an accident. If anything, the child might have been accidentally born a few days early, and yet, she seems angry at her sister for something she had no real control over. The only person in this situation who had any control over when she announced her engagement was ninja435.

Now you complain? Maybe you shouldn't have been such an asshole all this time. It's entertaining, sure, but don't expect us to ever take you seriously again. I agree wholeheartedly with Slappy. You can't control when your fucking baby is born. How on earth can it be this woman's fault that she had a baby? This has presumably been in the works for nine months (and you've known about it for at least four or five, I would think). And, frankly, having a baby is a bigger deal than getting engaged.

I'm honestly not trying to be mean; just calling it like I see it.

I had no say when I was asked....

Suki wasn't talking to slappy in that part of his post.
