Shh I'm not actually omniscient, I just have to keep up this disguise so my followers remain obsequious. Part of my plan to conquer Luxembourg with an army of ostriches!SckizoBoy said:
I have very little faith in humanity for much bigger reasons than this (although this falls under the reason of "stupidity,") but I kind of agree with you. People are assholes. Sadly, everyone expects us to get over this and move on. Yet we didn't ask to be here, so why should we let other humans ruin our life experience?
So you have no faith in your mother/father/loved ones/friends and such? cause they're all part of the humanity you're making a sweeping generalization of.
As for why, well, probably cause they can be. Though They dont htink they are, and only some people do. I dont know anyone thats so universally hated that no one agreed with them.
Besides, its rather... well... rather like the people you're ranting against to make the statement I have zero faith in humanity.

Please don't call it being cynical. That's not cynical, it's being a whiny *****... cynicism can be a wonderful thing, and I should know, my own mother called me a cold hearted cynic.NinjaDeathSlap said:
OT: I don't think I've ever been somewhere where drinking from a drink I hadn't yet paid for (except where you pay your bill at the end, in a pub etc) would have been met with anything less than a sharp demand for money. You did not do this.
LOL, oh Luxembourg, the height of ostrich imperial ambition! I thought you'd start off with something easier, like... I don't know... Belgium, perhaps!OmniscientOstrich said:
Sorry to be so blunt, but...DoxyGrim said:
You're 15, what do you know about people? How many people have you actually met? From how broad a spectrum?
I can't help but feel that such an accusation as 'people are assholes' or 'I have no faith in humanity' require such a profound lack of empathy as to border on the sociopathic. More of an incitement upon the speaker than the subject of their ignorant, arrogant bile.
Have you started driving yet? I feel like that every time I get behind the wheel because no one in my state knows how to drive(we're actually the worst state statistically). Some people are assholes, get used to it.
...You do realize you're included in "people" right? Therefor we should have no faith in you? Unless if you're some sort of Alien, Mutant, or super intelligent Octopus.

And I don't know many people, but the people I deal with every day don't seem to have common sense, self-control, or a sense of responsibility, and I dealt with nothing but violent idiots when I was in the public school.
I feel that you don't need to be of any certain age to understand that selfishness, judgement, hypocrisy, and violence are all in human nature (not that this is what makes me dislike humans.) A few humans act upon these traits to the extreme, and abuse, bully, rape, murder, rob, etc. others at some point in their lives, and end up hurting a lot of people. Some hurt themselves. Most humans do stupid things that have terrible consequences, and they refuse to take responsibility for what they've done. They also hurt other animals and the Earth around them because of a sense of self-entitlement. That coupled with their overall superiorty complex really gets on my nerves, and doesn't earn them any respect from me.
Note that this is just my opinion, and I'm not trying to inflict my opinions on to you, but you inquired, so I'm sharing.
Then what makes you think you can comment upon the whole of humanity.DoxyGrim said:
It's one thing to recognise that everyone has the potential to be a dick but quite another to say that everyone acts upon it, as the statement "People are assholes" does.
I've been bullied. I later became friends with the bully. I've met all sorts of people from all over the world and all walks of life. I'd only call one an asshole.
You were/are bullied in school, right?
Age is simply the most natural facilitator of experience. Some people have a lot of experience by the time they're 18. Most don't.
So do you have any respect for yourself? You are human, after all.
You might be correct in your view that your peers are idiots. To extend that to the whole of humanity, however, is as degrading to my character as it is to yours.
Is that the blue duck from the Dilbert cartoon?OmniscientOstrich said:
In that case, one piece of "art" represents ALL of art
See?
One human doesn't represent all of humanity.
At least you know to charge first, then give the item in the future.
But I'm sorry about that guys idiocy. but hey, if that's how you get something free...

RUN FOR IT!
The fact that I have a right to type, say, or think whatever I want.Danny Ocean said:
I've never put any thought into that. I dislike being human, but I've never felt any disrespect or respect for myself based on that.Danny Ocean said:
Then maybe it would be better to rephrase it as "people are stupid."Danny Ocean said:
Again, I'm trying to be civil here, and I don't want you to think that I'm being hostile. Not saying that I think that you're being hostile, but I don't want you to think that I don't respect your opinion.

OP, to put it simply, humanity is the most wonderful, complex and perplexing thing in the whole universe and if you have "no faith" in it then you surely have been living with your eyes closed.
Don't know why but this made me remember this video (on the Escapist ages ago), watch it if you haven't already:
