positive or negative

Two extremes which help classify each person, place, thing.

They met Saturday. The man complimented her beautiful face telling her her features were those of classic greek or italian women. She thanked each time he found a different way to say that and did everything within her power to create the most positive first impression by speaking perfectly and looking at him lovingly, which he also complimented her on. When by coincidence her mother, father, and brother entered the supermarket, they saw her talking with the man at a table in the eating area and said hello to the girl but did not approach them. Seeing how unattractive the members of her family initially looked to him turned him off, but over the weekend he fell in love with her, and Monday he realized that he considered external appearances unimportant, and that—thinking twice—the members of the girls family were also unpretentious. So, in time he got to know them and like them. Seeing they were poor, a few weeks later, he invited them to be partners in a new childcare business.

Though most people generally agree on what is positive and what is negative, one individual may interpret a thing to be positive, and a different individual may interpret it to be negative. Do you consider that chain of events to be positive or negative?

Negative Advertising

When a company of any kind makes an advertisement for their competition, in such a way that would cause negative responses.

1. Husband "Oh, hey hun. Just dropped Jake off at daycare."

Wife:"Go get him quick! I just saw on TV that Roman Polanski works there!"

"Oh, calm down, that's just negative advertising."

2. TV Announcer: "Thinking about going to the Stageville Concert Hall this weekend? Well good! Cause Coldplay's gonna be there!"

Man on Couch:"Fuck that shit, I'm going to the place downtown."

Women on Couch: "No, silly. It's negative advertising, it's just cause they know that Coldplay is a sucky motherfucker of a band that deserves to choke on their own cocks for force-feeding us all their whiny bull-crap."

negative poo

Apparently not that rare phenomenon when you weigh yourself up, then you take a shit, weigh yourself again and you notice you are slightly heavier than you were before the act.

The ultimate negative poo, in turn, is when you actually weigh yourself up during the act and you see yourself gaining on weight on the scale.

- Cannot be. Right before shitting it was like 170 lbs and now its 175!
- Negative poo at its finest.
