I see the potential of things to go very wrong with this feature. What if someone just "crushes" on every person in their contact list to see who may possibly be " crushing" on them? How is that authentic? Or what if you "crush" on someone who never "crushes" on you? What if your crush doesn't know about this feature? How long would someone wait to see if there is a response? Can you"un-crush " someone? (I am not on FB, so am not sure how all this works.) 

Fortune favours the bold. If you like someone, tell them. It will never be easy, but you will never know until you take that risk. I would say that all of my friendships through this forum have been because one of us reached out to the other. Yes, I know friendships are different than crushing on someone and the risk is different, but for a shy, socially awkward, introvert like myself, it was still a risk. Not everyone I have reached out to has become a friend, but the ones who have are some of the most awesome folks I know. Take a chance.

You should be an advice giver in the Agnes thread. You've been holding out on us.

Awww, why thank you both. My "advice" usually is one of two directives: Suck it up, buttercup; or, Shut your pie hole. Neither one would be appropriate or taken well, I imagine. Besides, you have been holding your own in that thread, @OffSheGoes35 (big fan, btw). And truly, nothing I could advise would compare to the awesomeness of Chadwick's Opinion thread.

This is why it is the best advice, imo.

People who bitch about stuff like this do not want advice....they want to gripe, out in the open, and hope that someone hears them and consoles them. 

They never actually take anyone's advice/help/opinion, to prove the point.  The internet is a breeding ground for this crap and it sound like Facebook is the home base, judging from some of the posts shared here.  Some laugh at it, some feel badly for people, some try to offer help/consolation/advice - knowing that it will never be taken or even considered, just to be nice.

Chadwick would set it straight, to be sure.  "This world of shit & piss does not care about you.  Climb a rock.  Run through the woods, naked.  Care about yourself." or something pretty awesome along those lines.  Perhaps a story from long ago to inspire the inner Viking to come out and play.

friggin Facebook.  I would run over zuckerberg with a tank.....

The longest I was off Facebook was almost a year I believe. 
But I am addicted to it, always checking my newsfeed and commenting. I guess it serves a purpose for me (making me feel less lonely).
It is a cesspit of assholes. I recently had people making fun of my appearance so I changed my profile pic to be something other than a photo of me. 

That fuxking sucks, and people who would do that to anyone are complete pricks.

Yeah. I had one guy have a look at my profile because he got offended about something I said about the Notre Dame cathedral and he said my paintings suck and that I have no taste in art. I am in a artists group and some guy randomly said "I don't know where my hairline is" whatever that is meant to mean. Another guy said I am ugly. Facebook is full of shit people.

it is. you just have to realize that and laugh it off. Like those "celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves" I've seen online. it's fucking hilarious. I don't know if it's from a late night show or what, but many of them are amazing at laughing at themselves. Some of them seem honestly hurt (those ones aren't funny, obviously).

You'd crush him.

WHOOOOAAA!!! AND THERE IT IS!!!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have our "Slack's Hoagie Shack, Play on Words//Play of the Day" right here!

Congratulations to.... Hobbes!!!!!

Hobbes, you will receive a year's worth of crushes, in monthly installments, from the OP beginning June 1st!. Hobbes, this is truly the gift that keeps on giving year round.

As a parting gift, Hobbes, you will also receive one ham hoagie (no cheese and no lettuce, no tomato, and no onions---just ham, nothing else) from Slack's Hoagie Shack in beeeaaautifull Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania. This will be sent regular mail in an oversized cardboard box that will have you saying "Wow, this box seems like way too much for just a ham hoagie. Why didn't they send it in something more economical? And jesus h christ, this thing smells bad."

Thank you. Take care, everyone. Good night and drive safe!!!

No matter in which context, I think Stephen Hawking rightly said, "I'm afraid evolution has brought us greed and aggression into our DNA, there's no sign that conflict is diminishing ..."

That's why you should not listen to others fucked up, bad comments, they're just some bad, sad undignified ones… but there are still heaps of good people out there. 
Nobody could look as ugly as someone who calls someone else ugly. (hope that's correct English )
Just give a fuuuuuk about what they say!

Many people are nothing but assholes. If they hide behind their cell phones/pc s dissing others, they certainly feel superior.
Sometimes I think it's the same as people who play online. You can be the superhero, good-looking and successful, while in real life you're a boring, lonely, or just normal person. Some people seem to feel good about treating others like shit.

agreed, just insert DONT as the second word of your final sentence.......

Whoops, thank you! There should be a don't in it! lol

Well, now that I think about it...
I can say: "I give a fuck!" but I can't say "You should give a f...k!" Is that right? It has to be: "You shouldn't give a f..k!"
Never thought about it before. I might made that mistake all the time...
