Duh!

[Betticus]

Okay, so I just got up a little while ago and was still groggy. Checking the email and stuff and then off to check lit bdsm.

So I get on and I'm thinking to myself that everyone has gone completely insane. Then I realized that I hit the wrong link and was actually in the how to section.

 

[Master Sensei]

I did the same thing with the GLBT Chatter section.

Seriously, it was an accident I ended up in there.. I swear!!!

 

[Killishandra]

Bet - You're lost.

Sensei - You're gay.

 

[Xelebes]

Bet - You're fuggin' don't know anything.

Sensei - You're gay.

FYP!!

 

[Killishandra]

Bet - You should have been in the GLBT thread.
Sensei - I'm gay too. Want to be pitcher, or catcher?

Wow, Xelebes.

 

[Miss Diva]

what is FYP please

 

[Betticus]

You assholes do know that I'm bi right?

 

[Killishandra]

Are you really? I thought you hated pretty much all other males on Earth.

 

[Master Sensei]

Bet - You're lost.

Sensei - You're gay.

You're just brave because you're across an ocean.

 

[Betticus]

Are you really? I thought you hated pretty much all other males on Earth.

Almost all of them, yes. Not just because they are males but because they are worthless pieces of crap. I'd say that pretty much the majority of humanity is pretty useless as a whole. I'm really starting to dislike most women as well.

I love humanity......

It's people i can't stand

I find most people are "good" on an isolated case-by-case basis. 'Tis the influencing of each other, and the mixing of people, that produces bad behavior. I'm convinced that 99% of people are very decent folk... But despite this, most of us are bad influences on each other.

 

[Xelebes]

All people are good and beneficial - it is just the distortion of the social ties becomes more noticeable under compression. The greater the distortion, the greater elastic potential energy is stored in the social ties.

Hmmm.

-1 pt for ambiguity.

+3 pts for vague insightfulness.

 

[Xelebes]

Does that make it equal 2?

 

[Killishandra]

Does that make it equal 2?

Yes.

+1 pt for double-checking with me, though.

Net score = 3.

I disagree. It is my feeling that placing values on actions like that only makes them good or bad. People have needs. They try to need their needs in the most effective way they can.

It makes no sense (to me anyway) that a person would deliberately choose an "evil" way to meet their needs if there was a "good" way to do it more effectively.

Therefore, people are neither good nor bad, they simply are. Society has labeled them as such, but it is entirely artificial.

I love that point of view!

That was kind of my point. There is no evil. So you might as well label them all good - even if they are neutral or not. Euphemisms man, euphemisms.

There is no evil? Are you serious?

I'm all for looking at the gray shades of people in life but there is no evil?

Gotta differ on that one witcha.

[Betticus]

I have to differ on the evil thing too. Most people are vile, disgusting, evil little creatures. They may not mean to be but they are.

There are some very outstanding people out there that tend to offset some of the worst.

Perhaps the majority fall into a middle category of evil known as ignorance. They simply exist in the vain hope that someone will come along and care for them.

I wouldn't call that ignorance. I would call that hopeful. The problem is that when someone does come along and cares for them, it's not the way they wanted or it's never enough.

True evil is pretty rare but it does exist IMO.

I am pretty shocked to read this.
My experience is people act as you treat them.

I have no doubt there are people who are pyschopathic and have issues, otherwise pre-meditated murder within a random act would not exist.

In general my experiences with people have been positive ones.
No-one has ever committed irrevocable harm to me or my sons. I am not naive, I have met people who are nasty with words or actions, but to allow their actions to take up my thoughts gives their actions power over me and my family. I can't allow that. Giving their actions power spawns further unpleasantness.


Many of my friends over the years have been people you would often cross the street to avoid. I know they have made others unhappy with their actions and some of them have been imprisoned for those actions.
They did not make me unhappy, they did not make me fear my children were unsafe when they were with them and I did not feel unsafe in my home when they were there. They treated me and my sons with respect and they were genuine in their actions towards us.


Its seems to me if you treat people as though they are 'vile, disgusting, evil little creatures' then thats what you get.

My other belief is 'like attracts like'

If you constantly view others in a poor light, how do you then view yourself?

 

[graceanne]

I have to say that I agree, on the side of there being evil people. K and I have had many disagreements over this, cause he thinks that their's hope for everyone - but I don't agree. I wish I had the faith in mankind that would allow me to think no one is evil, but I don't. An example of an evil person would be Hitler. I know there were reasons he was the way he was, I don't care. The result was an evil man. Period.

Beyond that I think that the majority of people are just selfish. They don't mean to hurt people, but they gotta do what's best for them, and if that means someone get's hurt in the process - oh well.

I gotta agree with you beautiful Graceanne!

Some people are evil. They can't be rehabilitated. Sterilization, castration, and a bullet in the brain are all too good for them, they should be slowly tortured the way they have tortured others and then some. I favor a bullet in the brain anyway cause I really can't stomach doing what they deserve.

Woot!

Cold, sinus and flu meds are kewl donja know?
