Sad story right here.

Dubious as to its truthfulness, but still sad.

EDIT: Wait that was totally the wrong link. I am a derp.

[Shakerag]

I am becoming more and more convinced that I am one of those "people who want to watch the world burn".

Why so? Most of the things others would use to justify world burnination strengthen my headache-ridden resolve. It'd be interesting to hear from the other side of the sad grey grass.

That's a question that should receive a very, very, very long and detailed answer.  However, I can't be arsed to give it.  So, instead:
5% - Schadenfreude
95% - Humanity is (on the whole) an irredeamable blight on the planet.

Luckily nobody other baby geesus cares about humanity.

Woohoo problem solved.

the extreme misuse of the 'iron patriot' moniker in iron man 3.
This also confirms my suspicions that i am well and truly a geek, which doesn't really belong in this thread.

Today I've had two people try to convince me there is something wrong about me not wanting to murder my own father. And kittens. They talked about kittens. Lots of insults, lots of immature vitriol, plenty of downright cruel hugboxing.
There is a fair bit of context missing, but I still find this not as soul crushingly grave as it should be. Patience, self control, self reflection. Make yourself a better person, you benefit yourself much more than turning yourself into another cog of the hate machine.

If you can stare down strife and build against the tide what does it say about you?
If you can stare down the void and find the easy path to destruction what does it say about you?

It's the difference between those who build those wonderful towers of cards and those who knock them down.

Speaking of irredeemable blight...

Yes I know... But they sure are trying hard.

Make yourself a better person, you benefit yourself much more than turning yourself into another cog of the hate machine.

Who defines what a "better" person is?  You?  Me?  The majority?  Someone's definition of "god"?

Why is hate implied to be bad or undesirable?  I posit that "cog(s) of the hate machine" are the ones who are most willing to go out and change the world.

It says that I'm succeptable to believing in bullshit platitudes.

Even when those wonderful towers of cards are being built by slave labor?

Who defines what a "better" person is?  You?  Me?  The majority?  Someone's definition of "god"?

Think long and hard about it. You'll come to a conclusion eventually. Part of how you define it also defines what you find to make things better.

Why is hate implied to be bad or undesirable?  I posit that "cog(s) of the hate machine" are the ones who are most willing to go out and change the world.

I posit that intense hate is the symptom to a broken and hostile life. Hate can indeed give people the resolve to change the world, but it's rarely for the right intentions nor with the outcome that doesn't foster more hate, death and suffering.

It says that I'm succeptable to believing in bullshit platitudes.

Then forget all existing moral philosophies and begin anew.

Even when those wonderful towers of cards are being built by slave labor?

[If the analogy here works, it is that the towers can only be built by what is right. So going down that road would have more in common with watching the towers fall].

Shakerag,

You seem to be defining people as evil because they hurt others. And your solution to this is... hurting others? And not just the evil others, but all of them.

Doesn't follow.

[Shakerag]

Nevermind.  There is no point in discussing this, and I shouldn't have said anything in the first place.

Feeling a little threatened?
Chill out a little bit. The conversations been had and said, you're right; apparently you've not memorized all of them and that's why you get the opportunity to experience this occasion first hand, yourself.

Let's get things straight first - your voice inflection doesn't exist here on the Internet, so you're not allowed to be vague. Ever. Or leave anything undefined.

So start off by telling us all what a bad person is.

Feeling pretty frustrated.  I have a (very easy) coding exam for a job I want.  The kicker is that they want me to write code in Java.  I can tell that it's easy!  I have a good idea of how I'd do it in Python!  However.

I do not know Java.  There is Java on my resume and I have no idea why I put it there, because I obviously do not know Java and having a tiny bit of experience with Java five years ago is not enough to say I know "some Java."  It would probably be easy for me to learn Java, but I do not know any Java.

I'm a moron and I need to learn some more humility.
