Happier Abroad Forum Community

I think there's many people on the forum who @MarcosZeitola respects and some that he probably doesn't. I assume that the people who take extreme offense to an open-ended statement in which they weren't specifically identified, are choosing to self-identify as such?

I assume that part of it is behavior, part is outlook, and part is action.

@Pixel--Dude @Winston The server was lagging and wouldn't post anything for awhile. Everyone's duplicate posts is because of continuous clicking of "Submit" to post and it wouldn't go through. Now, all the duplicates have posted because the lag probably cleared and it actually registered "Submit" but wasn't updating the threads at the time.

@MarcosZeitola, someone else brought up that there are barely any active members here and asked you to name the losers which you ignored. So who are the losers here, Marcos? That's very insulting of you to call the majority of posters on here losers and that our opinions shouldn't be taken seriously. So far no one has proven that they walk the walk except for @Winston and @Kangarunner.

What about me? I've spent a lot of years overseas. I'm not pro-fornication. I married a foreign woman. It's worked out good for me. When I presumed I was in his category of men on here with experience who had good things to say, rather than his loser category.

Why do you care if MarcosZeitola considers you to be a loser? Even if he did, it's just an opinion of some guy on the Internet. Is it worth posting over?

The hell with him then. He can suck dick!

Why so many duplicate posts MarcosZeitola and Tsar? Can you delete them? There should be a 3 day window where u can edit or delete your own posts right?

MarcosZeitola, what's your definition of a loser and a winner? Can you be specific? Is it a matter of whether you like someone? Or if someone is a success or failure in life? What's your definition of success? Not the conventional one I hope, right?

@MarcosZeitola, what quote was taken out of context? You said that about the members on this forum.

Well a lot of them ARE losers, dude. But I mostly just spoke about you, in particular. Others here actually traveled abroad and "walked the walk" so to speak. As for you, Mercer... you're a weasly little f***er, hunting for old quotes in chats and old topics from years ago like some deranged creepy stalker trying to "discredit me". You're acting kinda obsessed, man.

I agree. I used to say if you post at HA in general that means you are crazy. After saying that Rock stopped posting here. I thought that is a sane decision.

You're still here. Are you admitting that you too are crazy?

No I don't think that I am crazy. I don't have crazy beliefs in God, ghosts, flat earth, bullshido. Plus I am into self improvement. I do a lot of things like meditation that keeps me grounded.

Why are beliefs in God and ghosts crazy? You have no proof that any of these things are nonexistent.

Let's put it this way. They are quite irrational and very unscientific beliefs. If somebody follows this pattern most of the time he beliefs his feelings more than objective truths. That makes people go into the wrong direction.

For me unscientific people are like the followers of the kargo cult.

MarcosZeitola, what's your definition of a loser and a winner? Can you be specific? ...

A loser is someone who hates his life and takes no step to improve it. A winner is someone who either already loves his life, or hates it and takes active steps to improve it....

What Marcos says is a fairly good definition I think. However it is not always possible for somebody to take active steps to improve himself, it depends in which country you are living and the political situation - and you cannot choose your parents either etc. It does not depend solely on you if you are a loser or winner.

@MarcosZeitola

. They're all, one way or another, part of a "brotherhood" of HappierAbroad.

But when the whining and comlaining still goes on it is still annoying as hell. Specially people who seem to have much more than others.

It is like crying that one has no shoes at the same time there are kids who have no feet. The crying looks quite wrong.

Does that mean that it doesn't suck to have no shoes or you shouldn't mind if someone steals your shoes?

I have tried a fair amount of times to improve my own life, and made plenty of garbage decisions along the way of trying to do so.
Either way some people are stuck where they are no matter what they do or don't do.

Marcos is a good guy.

I didn't take his comments personally.

I don't care if people think I'm a loser.I am literally disabled,and had a bad set of conditions from birth til now which made me the way I am and my situation in life.

some people are given good co0nditions,finances,abilities and this is all out of one's control.

we are all losers,all of us will end up in the grave,and everything would have been for nothing.

if the universe ended 1 day after you died,it wouldn't matter.

just have fun.
