I'm not going to argue about what people should and shouldn't do with ponies. They can treat ponies hovewer they want, since nobody seems to understand the simple thing about them. I haven't met anyone, so far.
And even if this world has good folks, humanity as a system is deeply corrupted and flawed, so much that I doubt it'd possible to fix it.
Equestria isn't perfect and it isn't utopia, actually. It just happens when reasonable creatures decide to live like reasonable creatures. Simple. But so many humans don't understand it, or just don't want to. They prefer mixing primal instincts and corrupted minds and enjoy... whatever outcome they've got.
What I need is to gather enough courage, enough strenght to finally put a noose on my neck and be done with this world.
Live in Equestria. It's a slim chance, but it's there. In here I don't have even a slim chance. So the answer is clear to me.

Then why not be happy now? What is humanity, exactly for you? Could you please inform us of this, with examples if possible? Is there any proof going against your version of humanity?


Because that version of humanity you've got, doesn't exist here--rather, some attributes do, but as a whole is non-existent. Unless I misunderstand.

It's easy. Constant wars and crimes because of stupid reasons, or out of simple agressiveness and  bigotry. Killing people because they don't believe in you imaginable friend. Social systems that force people to take drugs, getting drunk or whatever, because they can't deal with such a life in clear state of mind. Also, the same systems make people homeless and hungry, while the world has more than enough recourses for all people to have essentuals, at least.
Also, that constant fight for power and influence. Contests are fine, but when people kill and destroy morally each other, that is not okay.
I won't tell about all kinds of discriminations, and how people treat them like it's normal.
Humanity as a system is deeply corrupted and flawed without a chance to be fixed. I'm not happy because I'm the part of humanity. I don't want to live here.

What and who are they? Everyone?

What and who are they? Everyone?

They -- the absolute majority of people who keep pushing the world into a swamp.

Errm, would you mind if we'd bring information against that--that it is futile to believe in humanity at all because of the many hindrances it has? :O

I don't believe in humanity, actually. And I don't want to. I just wish to be away from all of this and I can't see any other way aside from suicide. But I can't do that either. At least, not now.
So I'm kinda stuck.

Consider: What if there is a pony-themed afterlife, but those who commit suicide are not allowed into it?

What if there is a pony-themed afterlife and you can enter it only by deathright? (as in, kill themselves to actually give Equestria and ponies their goodness). I believe in this.

You did take into account that MLP was made by people, right?

Though I'm curious about the latter part. If apes are aggressive and we 'evolved' from them, then we by nature are aggressive...
Isn't that delving quite much into racism itself? As many people by nature, aren't even into aggression...Studies from centuries before have also depicted that as more of a cultural happening than something inherent to human nature. I mean, sure, people have feelings of aggression, but there's also the choice of making that aggression objective.

Just real curious--why do you choose to give up?

Well, first of all -- yes, I did. MLP made by people as a commercial to make more money from selling toys. This is the main idea.

Now -- yes, I'm a racist. I hate the majority of humans just because they are humans. But I also have good reasons to feel this way -- see my post above.
As for giving up -- I don't belong in this world. I don't share it's agressiveness and bigotry, I'm not one of people who love such stuff. And I don't want anything from Earth either.

This is not pleasant to read, if you don't want to hear anything I have to say, don't even click on it and pass it by.  I do not apologise for it's content, I have reviewed it several times, and it is all I have left to say on this matter.

Sam, you are behaving in a manner exactly as closeminded and narrow as the people you claim to hate.  How can you possibly justify this kind of attitude?  Humans are neither bad nor good, for every Adolf Hitler there are MILLIONS of people just trying to live their lives.  You say wars are fought out of pure malice?  How can that even work, if no one tried to oppose that malice then the war WOULDN"T EVEN OCCUR, because no one would fight against the aggressor.  I have no tolerance for this kind of tunnel vision, you know nothing about the world or humanity.  You are a young person with limited experiences trying to make broad generalisations based on limited information.  These opinions of humanity you hold are every bit as spiteful and meaningless as those you rail against.  If you want things to be better for you, first drop the attitude, you have no fucking clue what is in the world, and with that kind of bigoted thinking you never will.  If you can't even try to answer simple questions directed at you and instead just hide behind this flimsy excuse you keep regurgitating about the world being horrible, then I see no reason to help you, as you have already turned yourself into what you hate.

Humans are humans. This tiny amount of good people cannot cahnge a thing. Even if you, personally believe in this, you can't cahnge anything, too. You can just accept this flawed world and deny the truth.
I'm not like this, you know. I can't just close my eyes and try to live in this place.

[Tiruin]

Just to add: Why don't you want to know? As in, you said I don't want to know when approached with examples against the perception you believe in. Have you delved into psychology, philosophy or at least sociology?
I ask this because when people stop wanting to know things (ie to understand them), their growth and maturation of mental and logical limits are hindered and stunted--falling back only to what you know now. Not wanting to know because of probable fear and such along those lines...leaves you only with what you have. Speaking from personal experience here...
What you say seems to be very limited in its scope, and doesn't encompass what is human nature in all holistic value.

Because...checking back and re-reading the thread, its very narrow...
It's like you're both being defeatist, and pessimistic, saying you're good (or something like that?) yet...not acting to change what is bad around you. Very kind people act against that which you hate. It has been exemplified multiple times in history, and is being done pretty much in such great intensity today that you just have to search for it to see it...
Meaning: It's like you're focusing on the bad parts of human history and using that to reinforce and bolster your worldview...when it seems you haven't even chosen to look at the other side. Its a defeatist and pessimistic attitude that won't help you with anything at all.

I'll be working for that peace, if you'll excuse me. I won't just sit down and mope at how everything is sucky.

Very kind people act against it -- and where are they now? Forgotten, locked down, turned into jesters and monsters. They didn't change a thing.
And besides -- didn't you think that if you have to act against society, it's not a good one, to begin with? You have to change reasons, not to fight with outcome.

You missed the first question above. Like, the first sentence.

And the orange part? Please provide tangible proof of it--in the least, such events are recorded in history, like where it happened, who they are specifically, and when. Is that the fate of all very kind people?
Because if they didn't change any single thing--isn't it recorded in history?

[Sam Polson]

Okay, the reason I don't want to know is that any examples won't change anything. For every good act there would be tons of bad ones.
As for examples... that's the thing, actually. That we don't know or don't remember people who tried to do something. We just know that there were dozens of them who wanted to change anything, but they are now forgotten, and they didn't do anything.
