"Nice of you to drop in and tell us how we all are...."
I'm telling you how the Virgos I know are. It'd be virtually impossible for even a Virgo him/herself to tell someone how every single Virgo in the universe is. It'd be impossible. All I can do is give my opinion in regards to what I've seen & observed with the Virgos I personally know. It's just that simple.
I'm telling you how the Virgos I know are."
Then say so at the beginning of your post, just that simple.
-------------------
Regardless of where I put that sentence in my post, if you read carefully enough all that matters is that I put that sentence in there. What difference does it make where I put that sentence. If you're reading carefuly enough, you'll see that sentence whether it's at the beginning or the end of my post. Either way, all that matters is that I do say it in my post somewhere & you should hear it when you read it. Point blank.
And anytime someone writes about their own personal experiences with a certain sign or gives you an opinion about any sign, they're only talking about the Virgos THEY know personally or through other's stories. It's impossible for even a Virgo to know how ALL Virgos are. So technically, I shouldn't even have to keep reminding you that I'm not labeling ALL Virgos. When I say things like "I've noticed that about Virgos" who do you think I've noticed that about? Virgos I don't know? Obviously not. I'm talking about what I've noticed from the Virgos I DO know. I don't have to sit here & name out all the Virgos I know just to make you feel better. Common sense prevents me from having to do that. Even your own experiences & opinions on Virgos will never be 100% agreeable b/c there's always going to be someone to argue with you or disagree. Thus, even if I disagree with your opinion or viewpoints I can't really argue with you because everyone's personal experiences are different.
yeah i guess the original poster left off one..defensive..lol
Writing in my opinion, or in my experience, is the proper way to start a post whenever one is not claiming to be an expert, or whenever one is not speaking about an entire group.
If you don't want criticism for making blanket statements, then don't make them on the virgo board.
------------------------
If this website was quizzing me or grading me on my English & on paragraph structure, then sure I would write completely different. This isn't English class. When expressing personal opinions or viewpoints on an astrology website, things are never going to be 100% accurate b/c astrology itself is not 100% accurate. So how can you expect for everyone to agree with you? I bet you can't answer that. And don't put words in my mouth. I never said I was an expert on anything. You made that conclusion yourself & that's the tone you got from what I wrote & that's fine, but don't make something out of nothing. Hell, even experts have their own opinions & have disagreements. I'm not on this site to act like I'm the expert on anything, but I do happen to know alot about astrology & I'm not ashamed to share my findings & my viewpoints from what I've observed in my own personal life either. All you need to know is that I clearly said it one way or the other & keep it moving. THANKS!
Also if you really knew anything about Virgos you would know we don't like being told what we are, by someone else....period.
You need to read, the original poster has been criticized in one way or another by every virgo that posted.
-----------
Sweety, you must've forgot that I'm an Aquarius & we are the kings of defining ourselves & not wanting others to do it for us. But if that's the case then I'm sure you wouldn't know anything thing about your sign (from a research standpoint) b/c rather you get your information on "how Virgos are" from a poster on this site OR from a website or book, or from an astrology professor, it's all still the same: Someone is writing about their findings & in a way is defining all Virgos in general, not specifically. There is a difference.
And of course alot of Virgos are criticizing the poster. That doesn't mean I'm going to criticize the poster too. This isn't about playing "tag" or following the rest of you random internet users that have no impact on my life. And guess what? I also know that Virgos can't take criticism & deal with denial alot in their lifetimes & I'm entitled to think this exact way because the Virgos that I personally know are EXACTLY this way. That doesn't make my opinion necessarily wrong, it makes it different than yours. And just b/c you disagree with me doesn't even make sense as to how you can make the assumption that I "obviously don't know Virgos enough." B/c when you say that you're basically implying that all of my personal experiences with them NEVER happend. There a million people who would agree with my opinion & another million people who would disagree with my opinion...No what? It's not fair to say that all those 1 million people that agree with me are IMAGINING things. No, it's simply that we're humans & are entitled to different opinions. We all have different social security numbers, different minds, different appearances, different families & different eyes, so of course you may not agree with me. But just b/c you don't agree doesn't make it necessary to downplay my experiences with them in total. B/c now you're just even further reassuring that how I originally feel about Virgos is correct.
If I said I knew a lot about Indians and then found out that most Indians disagreed, I would be forced to recognize that maybe I got it wrong.
You are being told your list is a generalizing and inaccurate description, obviously not written by a virgo. And here you are telling me better than me , get over it. IF YOU GO TAKE 3 YEARS OF AN ASTROLOGY COURSE ON THE GENERALIZATION OF VIRGOS THERE'S PROBABLY ALOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS YOU'D DISAGREE WITH. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE PROFESSOR OF THAT COURSE IS MERELY AN IDIOT & YOU'RE THE GENIUS. FIRST OFF, THERE ARE ALOT OF THINGS THAT CAN SWAY THE ACCURACY OF ASTROLOGY LIKE: AGE, RACE, GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, LIFE EXPERIENCES & OF COURSE YOUR OWN PLANETS, SO EITHER WAY, IT'S NOT THAT EVERYONE IS WRONG, BUT INSTEAD THAT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. AND HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT "EVERYONE" IN THE UNIVERSE DISAGREES WITH WHAT THIS POSTER WROTE? EXACTLY, YOU CAN'T. THERE'S PROBABLY 10 MORE VIRGOS (WHO HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE CHANCE TO SEE THIS POST) THAT WOULD ACTUALLY AGREE WITH THE FINDINGS. SO WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THEN? THEY'RE NOT VIRGOS ANYMORE JUST B/C THEY AGREE WITH SOMETHING YOU DISAGREE WITH?
I'm telling you take your opinion elsewhere, because I don't give a butter what you think of me or any other Virgo.
IF YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY OPINION, YOU WOULD'VE HAVE PERSONALLY CHOSE TO CALL ME OUT ON WHAT? MY OPINION. THE PURPOSE OF THIS SITE IS TO READ & GET AN UNDERSTANDING OF OTHERS OPINIONS & HOW THEY SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY FROM YOU SO OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU CLICK ON ANY POST, WHETHER IT'S IN THE VIRGO BOARD OR NOT, YOU ARE IMPLYING THAT YOU CARE ABOUT OTHERS OPINIONS. AFTER ALL, THIS ISN'T AN ENGLISH COURSE OR LESSON. THIS IS A WEBSITE FOR THOSE WHO DARE TO SHARE THEIR OWN (EVEN THOUGH CONTROVERSIAL) VIEWPOINTS & TO DISCUSS (NOT ARGUE WITH OR PUT DOWN) THOSE EXACT THINGS. IF YOU DIDN'T CARE ABOUT MY OPINION, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO RESPOND TO ME. NO ONE PUT A GUN TO YOUR HEAD & MADE YOU READ OR RESPOND TO MY WRITING.
Got it?
--------------------------------
AND YOU'RE NOT THE CREATOR OF THIS WEBSITE OR POST, SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I'M GOING TO PACK UP & LEAVE FOR THE HILLS JUST B/C YOU SAY SO? WHO MADE YOU THE ALPHA & OMEGA?
And I don't give a flying treetrunk who wrote that butter, I will define me, not you or any one else.
If your an aqua , I think your lost, go take your better smarter than thou condescending attitude back where you came from.
------------
Did I once say that I was better OR smarter than you? Nope, those words were never in my post. So who's the one who think they're better & smarter than everyone? Not me. You only want to hear others opinions when they agree with you. But you can't take the heat or try to understand where others are coming from when you don't agree with something & that's sad. My goal isn't to please everyone by agreeing with everyone b/c in all honesty, I can pull over 200 Virgos right now who might agree with me. What will you say then? NOTHING. If your goal is for everyone to agree with you (all or nothing at all) then you're on the wrong site & you're focusing your anger towards the wrong person. Sounds like a personal problem to me.
And it would be different if all the Virgos in the world responded to this post, then you could use the "Indian" example. But oh come on, only 23 responses have been made & unless you are implying that there are only 23 Virgos in the world, then if I were you I wouldn't get so ahead of myself.
I'm talking to one of my best Virgo friends now & she's agreeing with everything I said (even though she HATES to admit it). So what are you going to say to that? She doesn't know herself? Come on, get real.
So you tell me this. What are you going to do or say if I don't "pack my things up & go elsewhere." Are you going to continue to have a hissy fit just b/c I disagreed with you or are you going to keep it moving? Are you going to keep whining as if my opinion will change? Are you going to keep acting as if this website is the basis for which all Virgos in the world flock to & "define themselves" even with the realization that guess what, I still don't agree with you? What are you going to do? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
So you sit there & keep having a hissy fit. It feels good to know what someone cares about my opinion so much. Thanks for the boost! I needed that!
I don't like that gas prices are so high, but guess what, if I want to drive then I'll have to get over it right?
I don't like that I can go to 1 website about Aquarians & the info only be 50% correct, yet I can go to another & the info only be 2% correct. But guess what? If I chose to click on that website & read it, whether I agree or not, all I can do is keep it moving. I'm not going to waste my time writing to the creator of the website to tell him how wrong he is.
I don't like the fact that everyone believes that I'm supposed to agree with them 24-7 but guess what, because I know myself & because I am in tune with my own observations all I can do is sit back & share my "differences" & hope that others respect me for it & not cry and whine about it.
I don't like that the economy is so bad, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pack up & move to Israel or Egypt. It's called DEAL WITH IT. And move on!
You are not helping, because your words have been rejected."
You are ONE person out of the 7.9 billion people on this earth. YOU rejected my opinion. Speak for yourself, not everyone else. And I could see if all the Virgos in the world came to this particular post & disagreed with me, that'd be a different story. But you think I'm supposed to imagine that what I have observed about Virgos never happend & is a figment of my imagination just because YOU disagreed with me. When you can prove that ALL of the Virgos on the Earth disagree with me, then we'll talk. Until then, it sounds like you're the one who's all angry & pissed off. And just like you have every right to defend your opinion (after all, that's what you expected when you replied), so do I. You just can't get it through your skull that no matter HOW much you diagnose me with "Knowing nothing about Virgos" syndrome I STILL won't agree with you. Take a deep breath & get over it. Do yourself that favor. NEXT!
Let me ask you this. How do you know that all or some Virgos are not like this? Do you personally know every Virgo in the world? Or better yet, do you personally know the Virgos I personally know? YOU yourself may not be like what the poster described, but speak for yourself. You may know about yourself & that's a good thing, but how do you know about the other Virgos in the world? You had to've gotten your opinions & knowledge from somewhere other than your own life.
Every time you go to a website you are reading the words of someone who has defined you as a Virgo (whether their findings are wrong or mostly accurate). Every time you read a book on astrology, the writer is using his research + personal experiences/opinions to write the book; so either way you look at it, no matter how you learned about other Virgos in general had to've come from someone who was "defining" them. You wouldn't even know what astrology was had someone not introduced it to you. And when you read your first paragraph on the "Virgos" you probably didn't have a problem with it when it said everything you agreed with. But magically, you question the intelligence of someone only when they disagree with you.
And I don't have to pretend that I'm intelligent. I already know I am & don't have to try to prove something to myself if it's already been proven to the person that matters the most in my life: ME. You wouldn't be questioning my intelligence if I agreed with you? No, you only tested my intelligence when someone actually have the "nerve" to remind you that you are not the only capable mind in this world & it's killing you!
And no, only 5 or 6 Virgos RESPONDED to this board. That doesn't mean that there are only 5 or 6 Virgos who exist on this site. What will you do when 5 or 6 more Virgos reply that the poster's opinion was true? You STILL haven't answered that question because you can't.
And you keep talking about this "majority" mess. This is a simple aspect of statistics. 5 or 6 opinions out of a possible 3 million that have the capability to respond doesn't accurately mean anything for your case. It's alot likely that 5 or 6 people will respond & disagree, just like there's an even bigger possibility that the number of responses will increase & 5 or 6 Virgos actually agree with the findings. Then you're argument will be invalid b/c that'll make 50% of what you believe agreeable by the "majority" right? It's simple mathematics.
What you're saying is no different than a man who claims he's going to do research on how American feel about starting another war. If there are 200,000 Americans that are qualified enough to answer, the man can't simply go off of the 5 or 6 Americans who answered in 20 seconds & then conclude the survey or research. NO, he has to wait for all of the Qualified americans to give their input AND THEN conclude his research!
I don't care how many Virgos you pull out of your ass I am talking right here, on this board the majority of virgos responding to that thread disagreed with you.
You are only arguing for your own ego, if the majority of virgos responding to the thread have already disagreed with you why else would you feel the need to continue arguing
------------
Wow. Maybe I'm imagining things, but if I'm not mistaken, the only person in this board who is actively arguing with me is YOU. And like I said, you still haven't answered my question. What if by tomorrow 30 Virgos reply to this post & say "Wow, you hit the nail right on the head." What will you say then? NOTHING.
Why is it that on every post there's people fighting?
Can u just leave it alone if it bothers you instead of making a big fuzz about it?
Honestly you people make a big problem of the most stupidest things. So it doesn't describe you, big deal. As if I care, just ignore it or put up the real characteristics of your sign and quit making it a big thing when in reality it doesn't even matter.
so we can add babies to the list of virgo traits
and going by the other boards leos and some caps as well .

Has this post calmed down already or are you still at each others' throats?
15. Cheerful - Some how I found irony in that based on this thread. LOL.
Well the description perfectly suites me.
"Has this post calmed down already or are you still at each others' throats?"
Yeah, I've calmed down. And the funny thing is, through it all I ended up just reassuring myself that some virgos have some very serious denial issues, which is what I already thought in the first place. Either way, Angie...Even though the words you used to describe Virgos are very general adjectives, I know there was a deeper meaning behind it. And like you said, if that's how YOU perceive Virgos, then hey, who am I to argue. I agreed with most of what you said, but even if I didn't, who am I to argue that Virgos aren't in denial but yet every single Virgo denies everything written about them (point proven)? I liked your post. Moving on...
