watch the golden compass go to hell

[Wilhelm-Scream]

sorry, one last thing. do you interact with people face-to-face the same way you interact with people here? just curious.

I almost never get into debates about religion, or the quality of the effects in the Fantastic Four movies, or abortion, or anything, in every day life with real face-to-face people.

I had a girlfriend at one time whose brother was a Mormon missionary, 100% sure that Mormonism is the one true religion, and she asked me to actually meet with him and hear his side and give him mine, and it went pretty much like a Christianity thread here goes.

The Intensive Outpatient Alcohol Addiction Treatment Program I attended this year....there was group therapy for 3 hours a day, three days a week, and then an hour and a half once a week...and it totally reminded me of being on the Hype, but in person, face-to-face.
Pretty much like me posting, but without the internet or the typing.


The way it comes down is, I have cultivated a personal life where I don't have to endure idiots.
When I have to at work, well, I'm being paid to fake-smile and bend over for them, so, that's my ****e-job.
And then, out in public, since I don't have to watch my words anymore, I do tend to take out my frustrations on anyone who
1. gets in my face
and
2. Is in the wrong.

This would include telemarketers, I RELISH swearing and treating them like the **** they are.......and I totally irrationally went off on this ***** that thought I stole a vitamin water last week.


heh
I'd say the answer is, yes, if the person deserves it and isn't wielding a knife. *shrug*


And then, I'm a sweetie pie with the people I love, the people I care about.

ok. am i wrong in thinking you view most people as idiots? if you're here strictly for entertainment purposes, do you consider other posters as merely objects to be used for entertainment or do you consider them to be part of the human condition. i guess what i'm asking is, do you even try to humanize people here?

ok. am i wrong in thinking you view most people as idiots?

The percentage I usually use is 89% of the people on Earth are idiots.
I guess I should change my CT back from "High on Life!" to "Ms. Ann Thrope".
This isn't the first time in the past few months, it seems like some have forgotten that I despise most of humanity.

the people that voted for Bush a SECOND time

the people that think it's okay to let a kid watch Jango Fett get his head cut off but if he sees a girl with no shirt on it's the freaking end of the world

the fact that an illiterate savage who's good at throwing a ball through a hoop, or hitting a ball with a stick makes 100 times the salary that a TEACHER makes??? Teaching being THE most important job on Earth

The fact that Reality Television is so popular

the people that think we're in Iraq because of 9/11

the people that want to saw my head off because I don't believe in their big, imaginary friend

I could go on all day....Yeah, most people are idiots.

if you're here strictly for entertainment purposes, do you consider other posters as merely objects to be used for entertainment or do you consider them to be part of the human condition. i guess what i'm asking is, do you even try to humanize people here?

Yeah, after the Colombia thread hit page 245 or whatever, I actually started to feel bad for GR87....like, the feeding frenzy was making the "normal people" appear to be much weirder than "the weird guy".

It's all a matter of judgment for me.
When I first hurt C.F.K.'s feelings, I felt bad, apologized and stopped doing what I was doing.
Then he acted like a ****ing jerk and an idiot, so, kindness retracted.


Sorry, more to say but I'm off.
Enjoy, thanks for the fun.

Isn't it weird when you actually get into real debates with people compared to how much it's like debating on the internet?

Wil, if you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you do for a living? Also are you married with children.

I'm just curious since I've known you on the Hype for a while now.

Does this happen often?

2. Is in the wrong.

How do you know when someone is? When I say this I mean they aren't making a statement like "Bill Clinton is the current president" or "McDonald's french fries aren't fattening"...

Also, do you feel it is your place to correct them? Do you ever just let someone be wrong?

This film sounds interesting, but I'm getting tired of all the blame heaped on christian religiosity. If there were no world religions, the "problem" would still exist. Afterall, the adolescent character reasoning of religious zeal is noticeable in its critics. Perhaps it is not religion, but the dangerous heights of zeal itself.

When we are ready to think in complexities, rather than polarities, we will be ready to critique the inherent problem in man himself.
