Saw this and thought of you..

I know some will ignore this, and some will deride or lol it, but hey, whatever. 

Given the recent events on here and the general talk about just being a bit nicer generally on here, I saw this picture and thought I’d share it. 

I know I’m just as guilty as any other, but if we try to stay in the green rather than the red then I’m sure this forum will be a nicer place to be..

I think you’re right - any way, must go - need to watch Coronation Street on catch up....

To be fair though you can be firmly in the red side and still become president of the United States.

I’m not convinced being president of the United States is considered “success” anymore...

There should be an amber one in the middle. That's where most of us are.

F off - I ain’t to blame, it’s them other guitarist fault! And them other lot! They don’t know as much as me! watching Richard and Judy never did me no harm!

And I thought some of you might take this seriously as well...

I was being serious. We can try to avoid the red and aspire to the green but usually fall somewhere inbetween.

My comment wasn’t directed at you specifically

Having said that, some of the behaviours on here recently haven’t been very “amber” but definitely firmly in the red when it comes to holding a grudge, talking about people not ideas, thinking they know it all, and most importantly having a sense of entitlement.

what about if you set a goal to get even with somebody who has done you wrong read-up on how to do it until you know all about your chosen method ?

Yeah, I realise that. My original comment could have come across as 'mocking' when it wasn't meant to be. I just wanted to clarify.

Not at all - I was commenting on some of the usual reprobates chipping in with sarky comments

To people who are colour blind, this graphic is just shades of grey.

Why is the "Forgive Others" stick figure giving a Sieg Heil salute?

Every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain.

1. No. I am colour blind. It’s red and green. Or green and red. One or the other

2. I think that’s more of a “heil a bus”

3. You are on your own there.

Now you're implying there are various definitions of "successful"

This. I aspire to tick most of the boxes on the green side, but also recognise a few in the red.

Winny_Pooh

I read this forum every day. Is that considered amber or green?

Sad. It’s considered sad. But you knew that, right?

I'm all green but watch a lot of TV and have a sense of humour, another essential trait for life iMO.

What a pile of shite
