I'm browsing an internet forum, not getting a major in philosophy. I don't have time - nor do I want - to read Spinoza to understand what someone on the internet writes.
Your inability to express yourself simply makes your attempts at philosophy one of two things:
a) a juvenile attempt at developing a personal worldview but taking everything way too seriously and expecting everyone to share your personal sensibilities;
b) trolling.
ETA: and especially in these times of full-throttle anti-intellectualism, it is important for people who deem themselves "intellectuals" to climb down the fucking Ivory tower and let everyone understand their message. Otherwise it's just a waste of time.
Also, I'm leaning towards the second option, since you still have trouble using BBCode to quote people even though it has been explained very clearly how to do it... And besides, there's a button that does that automatically! You can't mess it up. Jeez.

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
