There seems to be a huge influx of depressing ass threads in the General Forums. In the past month or so, we've had threads talking about pretty awful things such as:
tortured bears committing suicide, bears eating a girl alive, a student being raped twice and forced to apologize to her rapist, a father imprisoning and raping his daughters for 40 years, and now a 10 year old boy forcibly dehydrated to death by his parents.
Even without mentioning the details, those headlines are enough to ruin someones mood
Feeling a little better already...
Frankly, the funny pictures thread just doesnt seem to be enough to lift my spirits after reading those stories so I decided to make a thread devoted to reminding us about the good that happens in the world. To start it off, heres a short article about a police officer saving a puppy after a 15 foot fall
They dont have to be super epic or anything, just post pictures and/or stories that either show the good side of the world or are at least just nice and heartwarming. Im sure theres a lot of good that happens that people hear about simply because the terrible depressing stories just make better news.
So lets remind ourselves of the awesome things that happen around us that dont get noticed enough. Let 'er rip!!
(Of course if the world is really as depressing as those stories make it out to be this thread will fail pretty quickly due to lack of content)
Thank you. I'm very tired of seeing all the horrible threads as well.. Even the titles make me cringe, I'm honestly very very very mentally bothered by reading such things. I've debated minimizing the General forum over it, but unfortunately there's other things in there that actually interest me.
Let's make this thread even more happy by spoilering the mentions of those specific threads in the OP!?
You wouldn't expect this level of heartwarming coming from cracked.
wow those are actually really awesome links.
Its funny how these global super threats that made headlines years ago arent deemed interesting enough now that were trying to solve them. Its also incredible how the smallest things can get someone to reevaluate their life instead of ending it.
Heres an article about a random lost pitbull that saved a woman and 2-year old child from a man with a knife:
lol, heres another video along the same lines. I mighta made this thread, but Im still not sure if this video belongs here. Ahh what the hell, here you go!
Been waiting for this thread for a while, I'll contribute to this effort with a song. This band helped to pull me out of a lingering depression that I had for a good deal of my childhood, and they remain one of my favorites to this day, even if I seldom listen to their music anymore. This is my favorite song by them; I hope someone enjoys it!
