They all just give too much of a shit. But I've always wondered, if you hate humanity and are proe to saying things like ''Hopefully someday something will wipe us all out!'', why don't you just off yourself, you know, seeing as you're part of the percieved problem.
[sarcasm]Wow! I've NEVER heard that question before![/sarcasm]

But being the charming and helpful fellow that I am, I'll tell you why:

If I commit suicide, that won't really do ANYTHING about the rest of the population now would it? Just because I die, it's not really going to stop the rest of you to keep polluting the universe with your existence right?

Hence, suicide won't work towards the ideal of the misanthrope at all, unless it's suicide by pressing the doomsday-button that will crack the earth in two and kill every living person on it.

So I can't simply kill myself just because I hate mankind as a species. If anything the only logical wish would be for myself to find ways to live long enough to see mankind die out... You know, just to be sure that it gets done properly.

I don't know why there is a sudden in teenagers but it is slightly annoying. I myself am a teenager but I can manage to hold a conversation without becoming some overly-emotional whiner.

I think most misanthropes are just immature kids who don't realize what life is actually about. I find it to be very annoying myself. You are probably in the wrong place though if you don't like them since this website is absolutely stuffed to the brim with them.
Personally, I think life is great, even when its shitty. I tend to always fine the upside and I can see the good in humanity, no matter how much stupidity there is.

There is a subtle difference between a stupid idea (a girl getting pregnant at 14 on purpose / as a result of alcohol) and unfortunate circumstances (a girl getting pregnant at 14 because her boyfriend was a prick who didn't use contraception). It really angers me when people fail and at times even refuse to make this distinction.

There was one particular thread on "young love" that especially annoyed me (can't remember the name though), because half of it was filled with people moaning about unrequited crushes and much of the other half with people saying that it was pointless because it never worked out and wishing people would stop. By far the worst one though is that people assume it only happens to stupid people who can't control their feelings. (I'm paraphrasing but sense this is not an uncommon viewpoint)

I've spent this weekend trying to comfort a female friend of mine who split up from her boyfriend of two years or so. Now, maybe it's because she hasn't gone through it before, and maybe it's because her body isn't able to deal with all the hormones and issues of a break-up, but that doesn't make it any less real and it certainly doesn't mean she can just stop feeling it. People at a young age need to experience things like this, and as they do so they'll need support, which is why it needs offering.
My good man, you misunderstand the point entirely. As a misanthrope, I don't hate the whole of humanity because I believe they are making the wrong choices. I have long since denied that humanity, the dirty collection of animals they are, has the agency to make a choice. No, I hate human beings simply for what they are. I dislike your friend not because she chooses to be turned into a whining mess by her hormones, but simply because she is a whining mess of hormones.

Goodness, that's harsh. So they don't want to be involved in society-they aren't actively harming it. I think there are better things to hate out there.

Discussion, it is awesome! Seeing other people complain about stupid shit makes me happier. :D
I really like when people suffer.
Saaaaaaaadissssssssssst! Nah, I don't really care.

Um. It could just be me, but you're not exactly using misanthropy correctly. Misanthropy the hatred and distrust of all human kind. Not just these pregnant teenage fools who decide it's okay to screw willynilly without thinking things through, and half the time without protection.

Now, would ya kindly go hate on the correct people, next time?

You'd be sparing us you're whiny ass, which would be a overall plus. I mean, look at it this way, you think Humans suck and your human, so you're doing your part to fix the ''problem''. While you do that, I and others don't have to listen to or read your blabber. Sounds like a plan to me.
1. Why would I want do do someone or something I hate a favor in any kind of way? That would be pretty fucking inconsistent to say the least.

2. No one forced YOUR whiney ass to read my post. You had the option not to, so your complaining seems pretty redundant.

Monoochrom said:
But you'd be dead, which would be the exact same thing to you. Not like you would notice, you know, because you'd be fucking dead.
So? Im not dead now, and im capable of knowing the difference now, hence it would be counterproductive to the misanthropic ideal of taking the escapist route that you propose.

Monoochrom said:
You obviously don't give a shit about much of anything, so why would you give a shit about things going on once you're dead? Sounds pretty inconsistent. One moment you don't give a shit, but then presented with the solution to your problem you suddenly do. Seems you're just a bit of a pussy or full of shit. If not both.
And it seems you're fucking idiot who invent traits and ascribe them to me. Just because I don't give a shit about your death, your moms death or pretty much the death of any human being aside from feeling a small sense of sadistig satisfaction, it's not the same thing as not caring about anything at all. Humans aren't "everything" there is to care about in the world you know. Nor are animals or the fucking rainforest for that matter everything to care about. There's a universe of stuff to care about and ponder over, but you just went on assuming that just because I don't care much if your pathetic existence ended I'd be uncaring in general. Which doesn't really further your argument at all or prove that I would be "inconsistent" in any sort of way.

Monoochrom said:
Like I said, whether everything stops living or just you stop living shouldn't make a difference, it's not like you would notice and ignorance is bliss. Hence, you should either be happy with what you can get or you should probably shut up.
And like I said, im not ignorant NOW, hence suicide would only be fleeing the problem rather than facing it. You can't unlearn something that has been learned.

So far you haven't presented any valid reason as to why I should shut up, nor would I really care what you think of it.

Monoochrom said:
You've made it pretty clear that you'd be too much of a pussy to push the button anyway. See, your problem is that you just don't like other people, you'd still like to perserve yourself though. But hey! I'm on your side! Humanity sucks, especially you, you really need to take care of this! I'm fairly certain a rope and a nicely sized tree could get the job done, but since you could fuck that up, it's probably best you just drink everything in your house that says you shouldn't drink it.
Nope, you've made a bunch of arbitrary assumptions and interpretations of something I wrote and came up with some deluded fantasy in an effort to give your "arguments" some form of merit.

It's curious why you even bothered to ask a question to any misanthrope when you were just going to fight windmills in the end.

I'm almost twenty six. I would consider myself a misanthrope to some aspect or another.

People don't change, grow, evolve, or become better as human beings as time goes on within modern society. This is what roots our feelings of antipathy towards them. People just act like they are here to live their lives and be done with it in whatever fashion they want.

These people can go fuck themselves. This is the mentality that basically breeds misanthropy. Why blame the byproduct of wrongdoing and not the cause itself?

because i would hazard a guess that a majority of this community is of fairly high intelligence and in the 16-24 year old demographic, and gifted (yes im using gifted) are, in general, more mature than those they are with everyday, and that plus when your mentally mature but not phyiscally mature emotional problems sometimes are harder to deal with: such as some of them may truly think they have met the love of their life, as opposed to a normal person of that age who are usally in relationships for the fun

and also they will begin to hate people because as most of us who are out of highschool know, highschoolers are nearly the most frustrating group of people to deal with, and when you have to spend 6 hours a day for about 180 days it can really sour your taste to people

and the biggest thing is that people of high intelligence are more prone to depression than others, i believe this but i know their is a debate about that currently

sorry for the mistakes but my laptop is currently not wanting to type apparently

According to Wikipedia "Misanthropy is generalized dislike, distrust, disgust, contempt or hatred of the human species or human nature."

Misanthropes may be bad, but at least they care about humanity enough to hate it. Unlike Nihilists.

I think the real issue at hand is misogyny. I'm not arguing that "gamers" or this community in particular are misogynistic, but society as a whole. It knows no boundaries, no race, and no religion. Do yourself a favor and seek out James Tiptree's short story "The Screwfly Solution" or the Masters of Horror television adaptation. It's chilling in its ongoing relevance. These threads don't seem to be about "dumb little hormonal boys," but rather "bitches, whores, sluts, nymphomaniacs, prudes" and whatever derogatory female stereotype one can come up with. It's all "her" fault because she's crazy and because she's female.

Did you get a little offended at my use of "boys" to describe male teenagers? Imagine being referred to as a "girl" 24/7 until you were 40.
I honestly see none of this.
Seconded massively. Its a shame some WOMEN feel the need to emasculate men/boys/lads/geezers/blokes/XY on this site whom they've never met. Wow, misogyny getting ANOTHER airing on this forum. Why doth you protest so much? You ARE in a minority in this case.

Misanthropy is stupid. If you don't like humans so much then go live on another species' planet. Oh right.
That is an utterly ridiculous argument.
Not really. The point is misanthropes are humans. Disliking certain people is fine and recommended, but disliking humanity in general when you are yourself human is stupid.

So if you just want to be a whiny ***** about it, instead of trying to make the world a better place, then shut shut up and get off our planet. I'll leave it to you to find a way to do that.

Also, it always seems that the Americans are a generally happier bunch than the English.
That's probably because it's raining quite frequently in England, which causes it's citizens to lack Vitamin D.
