I've never felt so dissapointed in humanity.

[somonels]

I feel the same way about people making pages like that on facebook, which is the virtual equivalent of having a person stuffed. Take this as bad mannered, but just change their status to deceased or delete their profile.

 

[Carlston]

I have never understood this.

To me the anonymity that the internet offers is like a bulletproof vest, and engaging in trolling or anything else for that matter is like entering a shoot-out.

People that choose not to use a bulletproof vest aren't brave, they're stupid, and people who make use of the of what the internet provides aren't cowards, they're smart.

people who just comment on funerals to piss off the grieving are cowards...sorry man. It's a dick thing to do. And pointless.

Trolling for fun is one thing, trolling people you don't know who are dead or dying? That's a damn coward if they can't show up to the funeral and declare their hatred for the corpse.

I just don't really agree. Oh don't get me wrong, these people are assholes, the very worst kind of assholes, but cowards they are not.

i'd compare this to someone who bombs a nursery home, the bomber isn't a coward just because he doesn't sit on the as it goes of, he's still despicable.

Eh to each their own my friend. Cheers.

(goes off to Foxnews to troll stupid people and stories)

I only have one thought on this subject-if one kills 10% of the population of the planet, (the 10% including all murders, drug dealers, rapists, and other such bad people) then takes everything those individuals had(guns,boats, planes,houses, anything at all), converts it to cash,and donates it all to various charitys,one fix most of this worlds problems.

this is mostly off topic, but its my one thought, so think of it as you will.
oh, and any problems not fixed can be fixed given time and smart parents.

Setting yourself up for disappointment, just so you know. I truly liked most people once. Every now and then I found someone who was a complete jerk for no reason. Then I learned that everyone is going to be like that, and if they aren't then you can only be impressed.

I present: Exhibit A

Nonetheless, I'm much more interested in hearing you explain why you think I deserve to be "stigmatized" for loving an animated dog. Sounds a bit harsh doesn't it?

The fact that you can be infatuated with something that doesn't even exist is proof enough that people can become so obsessed with their media that they are capable directing passion towards some imaginary whelp. Get a girlfriend.

You're a creep.

You see, by assuming he was going to be a jerk and start immediately insulting someone for their preferences (also, notice that he has no reason to resort to insults, if you look at his previous post in this topic), I am not disappointed by it. Now if i assumed he would talk it out like a 'normal person' I would be thoroughly disappointed by his attitude.

Wow! Your theory really is observable in reality!

Get over yourself.

You got trolled and took it seriously, that's akin to those retards calling little toy guns that action figures hold "Weapon Replicas" and preventing people from bringing them on planes. If anything, you're the one that *we* should be disappointed in.

Wow! Why are people reacting so negatively to misantrophy all of a sudden? I thought this was an internet forum...

Misanthropy is just people who jump at every chance they can to spill doom, gloom, and despair all over everyone else like a diaper full of #7 on the Bristol Stool Chart.

I remember thinking like that when I was...15? In comparison, most people still don't know how to use their/there/they're at 15. It's kind of childish and pathetic, and needs to be labelled such.

No, misanthropy is a philosophy. A reasonable philosophy expressed by influential people like Lord Byron, W.S. Gilbert, Kant and Schopenhauer. Not 15 year old punks.

And if you want to "labell" people childish or pathetic for expressing a philosophy, you might wanna work on your own spelling first. Just saying^^

People are dicks, for whatever reason. Whether it be to deal with grief, or if they're just generally dicks.

 

[Eclectic Dreck]

Of course we are special when compared to the rest of the life this earth has produced, we are the only species at all capable of doing anything significant, but to me that doesn't mean much, don't get me wrong, i still believe that we are the best, or at least, the most interesting thing this planet has ever had going for it.

That doesn't mean that most of the population of Earth is interesting or useful, but we then as you said, we have to play the cards we're dealt, and it's certainly better than nothing.

My claim is simply that humanity is amazing as a group because the group produces extraordinary individuals. This does not mean that the members of the group are, themselves, extraordinary by any metric save their association with the group. I'm certainly not going to argue that each and every person is extra special and important in their own extra special and important way because such a thing would be a lie. But, when we are talking about all people consider that in the span of a few thousand years we have gone from having the barest grasp of technology to sending men to other objects in space. What did I have to do with that? Absolutely nothing. I also don't even know anyone who contributed anything significant to such a thing. That doesn't mean I don't get to share in the accomplishment as a member of humanity regardless.

Best darn explanation so far!

Glad you think so I think its true though. Everyone has the capacity to be an utter dick, but the the extent to which they are is regulated by societal customs, personal morals, and fear of the consequences.

The internet neatly ignores those obstacles, so the true dickishness of a person can be unleashed. In this case on Facebook.

No, misanthropy is a philosophy.

Right, that's exactly what I said.

A bunch of pretentious authors being pretentious authors doesn't make them right, or really even relevant.

Petty.

 

[Crimsane]

The entire concept of faith in humanity is foreign to me. Judge individuals, not an entire species. I have faith that some people will be awesome, some people will be dicks, and some people will fall somewhere in between.

They are Keyboard warriors, people who like to hide behind a computer, and wouldn't dare say it face to face.

Basically assholes.

Oh really now... I just forget to H. I've spelled misanthropy correctly several times in earlier comments and in comments to you. But you are right, It was wrong of me to resort to such insults. I thought you were trying to attack me from the beginning but I was wrong and I'm sorry

I admit that most misanthropy is just teenage angst and going "look at me, i realised humanity sucks, im being all deep and knowlegdeable on the world despite the fact in a 15 year old prick" Hell im 17 and i admit, i dont know shit. I havnt seen the world. I cant be all doom gloom and cynical. Im not even a fucking fifth of the way through my life span!

But seriously this isnt cool. This is someones friend dying tragically and people using it as an excuse to provoke hate. I think yelling and making fun of a dead person at a funeral is wrong. This is similar.

Nothing is sacred on the internet. They should really inform you of that when you subscribe to an ISP. Unfortunately, that would likely hurt their business, so it'd never happen.

Getting all stressed and butthurt and decrying humanity as a whole because a few people trolled a dead guy's facebook is even more pathetic than a few people trolling a dead guy's facebook.
