I love you. Have my children.Danny Ocean said:
Basically what he said. Albiet far more poetic and accurate than what i wanted to say, the "im so deep and cynical compared to this scum pile that is humanity" is an old old annoying line. Everyone's fucking sick of it. Its the new internet cool and personally im starting to really hate it. "Everyones an asshole except me" is a pretty crappy thing to say and if you really think it... well the guy i quoted said it better.
Aren't you as annoyed by this new "cool" as I am? Are you new to the escapist? Nay the internet? Its such an internet cool to hate everyone and feel better than 99.99999% of the world to view them as worthless assholes and achieve this perfect nirvana of morale superiority and arrogance. Its spouted all the time by teens finding this new thing called cynicism and just jumping on the "I'm so misunderstood and perfect in an ocean of assholes" band wagon that personally i find infuriating. Thing is OP and EVERYONE HERE, at some point in your life you have been that guy. Maybe not as bad. Maybe not on purpose. But you have been that guy that someone has said "what a perfect asshole" about or thought it. Maybe it was a single tiny thing and they misjudged you but they thought it none the less.Tim Mazzola said:
Now kudos to the OP he isn't doing it that badly, he doesn't come off arrogant, that guy was a massive dick. But he said THOSE WORDS. Those damn words. The ones that line the pigeon hole full of arrogant pigeons. Who ARE those whiny annoying teens who simply drip arrogance and a desperation to be "the internet cool". And thus he took his place in the pigeon hole. This just irks me.
That guy isn't saying that everyone's nice and there's no such thing as an asshole, hes saying that this "everyone's a dick who cares about nothing but themselves and money" bandwagon (closely related to the "all girls love these dicks that only care about themselves and money" internet cool bandwagon) is freaking old and annoying and doesn't make you look cool or worldly. It just makes you look a bit desperate to look cool or arrogant.
Well said man, well said.Danny Ocean said:
I'm so sick of hearing the "I have no faith in humanity", its so full of shit. Almost as much as the people who apparently hate people and are self proclaimed misanthropes and yet happily post on a public forum.
I like to think most people are like Forrest Gump. Not too bright, but definitely good at heart. Of course, saying that i do believe that assholes can and do exist within humanity. Thing is they stand out because people tend to focus on the insignificant if the majority has become second nature.
In comparison with what? Spiders? Vultures? Lions? Sharks? Lego men? - What species behaves more rationally and charitably than Homo Sapiens?Kopikatsu said:
I guess but can you honestly say at no point in your life you never thought you had no faith in humanity,The OP is probably young and had a bad day and just wanted to feel like someone cared maybe he's being a little mellow dramatic about it but hell don't tear him down He's not the bad guy tear down the asshole who didn't pay he is the bad guyCliff_m85 said:
For that particular person, a swift kick to the face and a boot out the fucking door... wait, what was the point again?Kopikatsu said:
*reads the last part*
Oh... because you experience one asshole, the whole of humanity is made up of assholes, anyone ever tell you about what happens when you point fingers? There are assholes in this world, we learn to deal with it, or become assholes ourselves... in some cases, becoming an asshole may actually be the only way to deal with such people...
Also, I seriously doubt you have zero faith in humanity, cause if you did, you would probably be so depressed by the fact, you'd have committed suicide, instead of post a thread about it...

I've given up on the whole global warming thing. We're too selfish and stupid to have any hope of reversing it. I say just let it happen. Life on earth will continue long after we've destroyed ourselves.

We really need a drinking game for every time someone says they have no faith in humnity

I'll e-mail news of your plight to my deployed friends. Perhaps they'll be sufficiently moved by this injustice to seek a transfer to the ongoing efforts to dissuade eating and running in the region, but to be honest, we've all seen too many good men- a lot of them kids, really- get sent headfirst into that grinder and never come back out again.
My friend Johnny, from Basic? He got sent to the eating and running efforts right after joining up. We don't talk much anymore, but everyone can see it in his eyes. Something's different. Something's... gone. Maybe we shouldn't have faith in a world that can do that to a person.
I just don't know anymore.

life sux get in line, next time you see him smash the tip jar in his face or better yet pee on his order.
If I punch a guy in the stomach and steal his wallet I wouldn't consider that 'outsmarting him', nor would I consider it 'outsmarting him' if I pick pocketed his wallet, I mean yeah, maybe that makes me superior in one way or another but what he did had nothing to do with intellect or guile, there has to be a better phrase to describe it. =/OmniscientOstrich said:
It was inconsiderate, rude and far worse than wronging faceless people in an indirect way. As for leading to the misery of millions, some people will always have to suffer. It's not 'just' or 'right' in any way, but it's realistic. I'm not saying in the case of poverty we shouldn't be trying to help, but the people we're helping are often the problem. Dropping all the guns and loving each other unconditionally isn't going to happen, and the fact that it's not going to happen isn't a negative reflection on people in my opinion.CarlMinez said:
PS: It's not just the western world contributing. Infact I'm sure you could point to just about anyone in the world and lay some blame, if you're looking to do so.
