Meh, I'm happy to do so. I know what you're saying, some people have traumatic shit happen, some people feel justified in clinging onto bullshit.
Either way, it makes no difference to me. They're still lying to themselves. I'm not a cunt for pointing it out (not saying that's what you were insinuating, just talking generally).
You know, I've had a few things happen recently on this very forum that make me wonder if my approach is a bit too aggressive, or if I'm rude, or if I'm going overboard.
What do I say to that??
"Couldn't give a shit"
I don't exist to be pleasant to everyone else. I don't think respect should be automatically given. I value my own honesty over other people's sensitivities, frankly. If I see something that's bullshit, I'm gonna call it bullshit. I don't buy that just because some people are respectful, they are deserving of respect. I don't buy that anyone is immune to criticism. I don't buy that some people are justified in believing in bollocks, or that they have understandable reasons for doing so and that by molly coddling them we're doing them a favour.
I'm gonna continue to say it as it is. Some people might not like it, but to them I'd say grow up. Deal with it. Sometimes the bare truth is what's important. I try to give that. Fuck being respectful for the sake of being respectful. Religion has long since forsaken any notion of deserving respect IMO.
Likewise, if someone thinks something I'm saying is bullshit, then say so. Don't give me this "I respect your opinion" fluff. Whoopidoo. If everyone respected each other's opinions what would be the point in having one?
