I for one tend to like most people. I just hate the groups, religions, and cliques that most of them associate with.
What do you think of "People"?

Yes, people do piss me off a lot. Especially the fundies. I really don't like them (they think D&D is evil)
There are good people. There are bad people. Unfortunately, noone cares when things are going well, so people accentuate the negative. Media-related rant follows.
What ever happened to "And finally..." stories? I don't want to hear that 8 people have been killed in Afghanistan, I don't want to worry. Not when I'm preparing to go out for the day, not when I'm getting ready. I don't want to hear that everyone's losing money, and people are becoming homeless, I don't want you, Sky News, to interview sad old folks about how their dog ate their money. I would rather that I'm told when things are improving. I would rather that, yes, tell me when something's bad, but not every day, tell me when things are getting better. But good doesn't get ratings. Good things make people calm, make them want to go outside and have fun. But being told that the next penny they spend "may" be going to fund a terrorist group, or that "reports" (I fucking hate "reports") have shown that ink makes you blind will make people listen. It'll make them worried and then they will pay attention to the news and there you have it, another slave to the media. I hate to be "that guy" but I have to say it.
tl;dr version: People are okay, but the media is a bunch of pricks.
EDIT: People are twats until proven otherwise. That is the law.

Most are stupid. I however, have found some people whom I call "friends"
These are the people I interact with. Outside that, not so much.

In your whopping 17 years you must have met so many exotic and varied people! (but really your 17 dude your have just left/still are in school where everyone is a butthole) Any one who has problems with people, or thinks everyone else is an idiot and is a waste of space, usually is the one with the issue, misanthropey, as everyone else get on fine.
Its easy to sit at a screen and judge people, making sweeping statements about what a tard most people are, but thats just as stupid and narrow minded is it not? They might not be great at maths or type real fast but they go out and get on with there lives and even attempted a conversation with you to make you hate them!. Yes large groups (sports fans, lads on night out) tend to be lower in actual brain power, but alone usually are ok (unless yoru in the group boozed up). People are awsome amazing things (espically naked) and we just bumble about into each other complaining.
p.s i was going to spell check this but i cant be bothered

You really should bother to spelling/grammar check. It will get you many many respect points here.Swamphead said:
Oh, Welcome to the Escapist.
I don't like organised religion. But I'm not a misanthrope, to try and be edgy and brood all the time.

Wasn't it "No man. No problem"? Or am I forgetting my CoD quotes?AkJay said:
OT: Depends on the mood. In my old class I thought so all the time and in general were a pompous arsehole. New school, new class and everything fixed, but there comes times where I feel that people aka "The Mob" are just downright shit.
I will gadly have a conversation with a single person, provided it's intelligent and well thought out. People however I want nothing to do with, except for my friends that is.
People in general are too varied to come up with any descriptive terms that would apply to all of them.
I'm not a misanthrope, but I'm not an optimist, I see alot of gray areas and people I don't understand but no clear-cut hope or clear-cut doom out of the people around me.
I just enjoy the ones I can, and disregard the ones I can't enjoy. If they refuse to let me disregard them, I'll antagonize them back.

I've been living by the people are retarded* creed since I began highschool, and honestly, it has never led me wrong.
Because, lets face it, everyone, at one time or another, has done something retarded. It just so happens that some people are retards more that others.
*no exceptions.
