Nobody writes anything positive or nice. These people are trying to make a living

Why would I give a positive review for a Contractor or Restaurant that is below average.
I’ve been out of the BUBBLE for 3 months and don’t miss the food at all actually most restaurants do the bare minimum of food it’s not about the quantity but the quality.
Tipping wages and hourly minimum wages are almost twice what is paid in The Villages YET Restaurant price are lower I have not found a $16 hamburger yet.
Grocery store prices are less than Publix, WD and WalMart only price more expensive than in TV are liquor if it’s not on sale!

I guess its OK that when someone states that something another one is doing, and it's annoying, and that first person comes back with...too bad, I like it and will continue...hummm....selfish???? Doesn't take a high IQ to figure that one out. In addition the fact that you state your actual score...again..hummmm???
(There are many,many people in TV with equally high IQ's- yet I've never heard one brag or post about it)
I think the intelligence shines when one figures out the flaw .

Yeah, I found that to be pretty strange/weird also. Particularly given my own 197 - per WAIS. lol

If you don't like it, don't read it. And I posted it in response to the idiot that called me an idiot. If you don't like that, don't read it either.:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Half of us villagers cant remember what we has for dinner last night yet we give out medical advice, offer opinions based on fantasy and complain about it all .

When you mix senility and the internet this is what you get .

Don't forget about those who believe simple longevity, automatically equates to being smarterer. lol

All I know is that the opinions and mindset of many posters I have encountered on various threads on TOTV is not indicative of those I have met in the Villages community for the short time I've been here (spring 2021). Maybe it attracts all those high IQ types who need a place to pontificate? (I'd leave a ROLFL emojii if I could *wink*).

Seriously, though, the old adage is true - "opinions are like a****les, everybody's got one". If reading viewpoints on controversial subjects irritates or upsets you, don't click on any hot-button topic threads. Initially, I only used the forum for advice, referrals and information but then got sucked into The Dark Side, haha.

Exactly, I don’t recall a single thread with a ambiguous title that could have accidentally have sucked someone into reading something they find upsetting.
