You know what really grinds my gears?: The moaning thread.

My neighborhood isn't affluent. My STREET is affluent. Just up the street are double houses that people rent and apartments are just up the street from me. They're filled with the human feces I like to call poor people.

You obviously don't realise how many factors contribute to a persons wealth and it's very uncommon for a person to be poor simply because they are lazy and have a low paying job / don't work.

Oh, I understand that. Again, you're being presumptuous. I never said poor people are lazy.

I had to take a look at the thread title again to remind myself there was an actual topic, and what it was.

Ummmmm....changing transit schedules that you expect in about 8 months, but occur on Columbus Day instead with barely a whisper.

I feel for you, c. Our public transit system is a joke.

It's the same everywhere... still... it gets most of the job done.

Everyone is always telling me I'm pathetic and unintelligent. That's how I feel.

Trying to open a can of soda and instead of popping the cap, your fingernail just decides to bed 90 degrees backwards like a limp piece of spaghetti. Ouch.

I know you were being rhetorical. Fuck it though. I don't care. I tell people to kill themselves all the time so I can't complain. It just goes to show how little value human life actually has. People don't give a shit about another person's life. I'm sorry for expecting empathy from another human being. That was my mistake.

I wasn't being rhetorical, I was following your logic.

- "We're all afloat in a boundless sea, and the way we cope is by massing together in groups and pretending in unison that the situation is other than it is. We reinforce the illusion for each other. That's what a society really is, a little band of humanity huddled together against the specter of a pitch black sea. Everyone is treading water to keep their heads above the surface even though they have no reason to believe that the life they're preserving is better than the alternative they're avoiding. It's just that one is known and one is not. Fear of the unknown is what keeps everyone busily treading water. All fear is fear of the unknown. If someone in such a group of water-treaders betrays the group, lie by speaking the truth of their situation, that person is called a heretic, and society reserves its most awful punishments for heretics. If someone decides to stop struggling and just sink or float away, every possible effort is made to stop him, not for the benefit of the individual, but for the benefit of the group. To deny at all costs the truth of the situation."

We are tiny little apes living on a miniscule blue and green dot hurtling and falling through space. We only have each other.

Could you appreciate warmth if you've never felt the cold?
Could you appreciate light if you've never seen the dark?
Could you appreciate the good if you've never experienced the bad?

People who are raised without socialization don't feel hot or cold.

That doesn't make sense.

Look up the study of Genie.

I am familiar with this study. A girl was neglected by her parents since birth. Strapped to a chair until she was 9 or 10? When rescued she made little progress learning language and being social, eventually the study stopped because funding stopped or something I can't remember. She currently lives in a care home I believe. I don't understand why you would bring her up. Can you explain more?

It's not a matter of appreciation. It's a matter of we would be swimming in an endless Jimmy Hendrix song if there was no dark or bad.

I don't even know what that means.

[color=#006400]If you would refrain from telling people to kill themselves, a modhat might be unnecessary.

I wasn't actually telling him to kill himself, come on, read the context.

I'm guessing you didn't understand what I just said, hence replying with a picture. Do you know what a poe is?

Your arrogance is unbelievable. A lot of the things you've said in this thread have been presumptuous.

How am I being arrogant and how am i being presumptuous?

Please just don't.

You refered to them as 'human faeces'. You wouldn't call them that if you thought it wasn't their fault for their lack of money.

Don't what? Am I not allowed to defend myself from accusations of telling people to actually kill themselves. Or does context not matter?

When you're eating doritos and everything is delicious until one chip decides to go down sideways and stabs you in the fucking heart.

Uh... the context was that MLA said that some of us don't want to be a part of this world, and you told him to kill himself.

Stop. This is the last time I'm going to say it.
