I previously defined boredom as "the impatience for something - anything - to happen" which seems to be pretty accurate in the real world.
but what about "boring" what is boring? are you boring?
If not, why not?
Is boring a bad thing?

boring is the opposite of interesting
and interesting is the opposite of boring?
Very cyclic.

I don't think boredom really exists, it's just us not bothering to use our minds to do something creative instead.
Boring, on the other hand does exist, a person can be boring, a book can be boring, a canvas can be boring - something or someone that is dull, tedious or can't hold our attention and/or excite us, is being boring.
Interestingly random topic by the way!

I wonder if the title could put people off opening this thread?

Lol perhaps! The title does sum the topic up perfectly though!

im just wondering if a topic if with that title would make people assume it IS boring, not saying the topic's boring

We need more. many more that actually get people to post.
All I can do is nab some news from BBC news that I find interesting... but then I do not want to ... bias others views by rephrasing it with my opinion as I want to see others first reactions. but that rarely happens.

Yawn.
Why is there a topic on boringness?
SEE this is what i meant
"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi
Talking of boredom, I was looking ways to get bored. But I could not find any.
Too busy and too much on my plate.
No peace whatsoever.
I cant find one hour to myself.
Jesus H. Christ !!
Sounds not boring...interesting even!
What do you do?
he's not gna tell u what he does! it'll ruin his anonymous-ness.

How does that make a difference to anything?
it gives an insight to just a little bit more of his life? it can make all the difference to some people. and character analysis would become so much easier!
"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi
Relating to this topic: then that would make us boring people who have nothing better to do than to analyse someone over the net.
LOL would people really sit there reading other peoples comments and analyse like that?! that would be incredibly sad!
I meant more in the sense of just generally "getting to know" someone through what they say AND what you know about their life. You can't understand someone without background information. if u get what i mean? :S

Ok, I will try. But I missed your silence more.
Its deafeningly beautiful.
your exaggeration makes me smile

Its to make her feel at ease - to take the offence off the criticism.

Some jokes are actually not jokes.
Which is why you had to say "joking".
You have upset our pious member.
Now, do something about it, please.
Quite clearly i haven't.
Unless the pious member we are talking of is Yourself?
If so, i think you're in no position to criticise me for making crude jokes considering your record.

Yes you have, evidently.
The lady is left because of your uncontrolled
comment which she did not take as a joke.
Whatever :roll:
I think you're being more offensive assuming she can't talk for herself.
