So, just when isn't a thread self serving?

[Sparky Kronkite]

I must be confused.

Doesn't everyone here post a thread or comment to satiate some sort of self serving goal?

Especially those of us with huge amounts of posts?

I make no pretenses about it. I'm here for a theraputic kick. I do what I need to do for me. I do what I want. Here.

So?

Don't you?

Don't you all?

Then - why are you here? For the good of all? For the good of mankind?

I think not.

Convince me other wise, please I beg of you.

 

[Vinny]

yea

I think the main reason I come here is because it uplifts me when I am down. Also, the people or most people on Lit have no bias or at least dont show it with things I personally post and those of others

You're right, Sparky.
When you get down to it, every decision I make is based on some self-service. I do hope that I'm capable of much more. I'm living my life but I welcome the inclusion of others.

Not everything I post is self-serving, but most things are, yes.

Mostly I come here for stimulation... Intellectual stimulation, pervs.

Semper Fi Corporal - however......

I am biased.

Not exactly like that might (apparently "does" imply for most others intereptations) imply. It's not exactly like you'd figure that most would leap to conclude.

I simply admit it. As most would not - can not - will not.

That I am prejudice. I do judge a book by it's cover. I do base personal interpretation on limited amount of input and fact. I often ignorantly base opinion on fiction.

I admit it - fore I am human.

I respect your take on "this" (this boards) situation and why you find yourself here. But - yeah, so........

I don't care. I don't really care about you or anyone else here. Not really. All here could be fake. Some, sure are real - but who really? I can't ever know for sure. I can hold no faith for highly probable ficticious creations.

I can only have fun with them in my own self-centered way - here - on this board. My therapy. My prejudiced, self serving, skeptical, non-trusting system of getting through life.

And I just can't believe that it can be done any other way.

Not here. Here in the land of bullshit.

But - I find a relief here and it does serve me - me (no one else) - and that is what really counts.

In RL "the other stuff, the real stuff" is all taken care of. No vails of reality there.

I can't bring myself to blend the two - here and there - the board and RL. Even though I think I'm the only one to ever post his/her real name - the two worlds can't become one.

Which has only ever been my only goal. My only goal.

All threads are self-serving. Everything humans do are self-serving. We give because we feel good. We sacrifice self to go to Heaven. Whatever.

HOWEVER. Do not confuse self-serving with self-aggrandizment or disrespect of others.

You disrespect others all the time, Sparky. You cannot have a thread that talks about how you feel about yourself without showing some other person or group to be inferior to you. Your idea of self-image therapy revolves around denigrating other people or groups of people.

The rest of us manage to be proud of ourselves and who we are without the necessity of comparing ourselves to others in such a way that others are inferior to us.

You aren't a good person, Sparky. You have little or no redeeming value as a human being in regards to the things you've posted here. You delight in disrespecting other human beings. You enjoy insulting, denigrating, and humiliating other people and groups of people. The by-products of all of your threads, no matter what the subject, is to disrespect and hurt someone else.

You were a marine at one time. Despite the fact that you weren't a very good one, you are familiar with the concept of respect. Don't bother arguing, good marines aren't familiar with the insides of a brig. Respect is given to a person when they earn it, not because it's due them. You want respect for yourself or your opinions, then you must show that same respect for others. To date, you haven't.

This is, of course, the pot calling the kettle black. However, it does take one to know one.

Sparky?

Will you finally allow me to be your sexslave? here and there and everywhere? I love your mind, baby.

Muff? You are as prejudiced and totally wrong as only one who puts so much meaning...

behing the written word as you do.

No doubt about it, I am weak at "the written word" and you are strong. You are plain smart on top of that - but your fortitude behind the written word is a bit of a glass crutch.

You have no idea of what kind of a Marine I was. I won't bore you with the facts but I was first squad leader - one man away from dress blues. I was fucking great. All my guys, including my DI's (all fresh from battle in Nam) fucking loved me. I was it. Then and there.

Of course today is today.

As far as insulting people? Disrect?

Not really. You are "reading" to deeply into it all. In fact - you know Marine training - "break them down, insult them, disrespect them, treat them like shit, make them realize that they don't know shit, take them to the bottom of their very own mentality."

Then rebuild them.

And you know! It works best when you take them all the way fucking down. Have them admit it to themselves.

You should rethink your opinion of me.

I am no picnic, never claimed to be. But I do respect all - so much so I simply want to make them all better and not allow them to rest on their own feeble laurels.

Which is what most people would want to do.

Cath? We are to removed from another to.......

entertain the glorious explosion that would occur if we were not.

Hey Sparky. You wanna? Meet me at JFK one day when I'm passing through.
I dare you.

I'll even let ya touch me. Just to prove I'm real, you know.

I'm here for the good of all mankind. The Pope told me to post here to brighten the days of anyone who wishes their day brightened, but y'know, I mean Pope in a good way.

I said sexfolds and nilla ten times each today, and heartily recommend you do likewise tomorrow.
