Do you wish you can give someone lurve in "real life"/ to non flutherites?

Asked by Mtl_zack (6778points) October 30th, 2008

i often get really good insight into a topic and really want a link to show up on the advisor’s forehead that i can touch so i can give lurve. i feel good when i give lurve, because it means i laughed/understood/was taken seriously/etc…

….and so, the addiction really starts to take hold…

Sure. But if I can lurve people I want the ability to flag people as well. I know a lot of folks that need to be flagged.

@uber: i was addicted since i joined (march 1st), but it was a psychological addiction, like weed. now, it turned into a heroin addiction (not that i know, but ive heard).

@ac: i would like to flag mccain and palin and have their speeches removed by world moderators.

Hell, I’d ban them.

I’d love to give lurve, both for other printed material and real people. Somebody (Nimis?) answered a while back that she wanted to start slapping people with “GA” post-it notes!

@ nimis’ idea: someone should call 3m and request custom post it notes with dr. j on them and a GA underneath. i know they make custom post its, but for a price. i would buy them for sure.

That’s be cool. I’d give out so much lurve (just like I do here).

Ben and Andrew…are you listening?

I do this all the time, mostly on other forums though. I get the urge to add people to my fluther too.

I do that all the time.

I settle for inappropriate hugs in public

Yes, constant reaching for the clicker to GA and GQ people who are sitting at tables across from me, trying to eat dinner.

Here is an idea I had for spreading lurve in real life. Suppose you helped a stranger, who is very appreciative. You then give the person a card saying that the holder is under obligation to provide assistance to someone else. How is that for spreading the lurve?

Pay it Forward!

Here’s a question: let’s say you could give people lurve in real life. Let’s say that a person’s lurve would be instantly readable by anyone who wanted to, and that anyone could give it. Would this be desirable? How would such a system work? How would it have to be different from Fluther’s? Would it?

@Hobbes: Interesting Q. You should Ask the Collective!

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

YES. I think it was nimis or delirium (not at all positive) who said something along the lines of ”...and they’ll be really surprised when I pull out a sticky note that says “great answer” and slap it on their forehead….”

if anyone remembers who said it/in which thread, please remind me

omfgTALIjustIMDu's avatar

Oops, I didn’t realize that augustlan had said that already.

Nope, if they aren’t enlightened then they don’t get no lurve
