Me too. I made a thread about it some time ago.

But you know what? I don't care.
It's called misanthropy.

What does that mean? I'm not up on all the abbreviations.

To Long; Didn't Read.

It's not the smartest thing to say such things to your psychologist.

Ahh, gotcha. It's OK, I never have anything good to say anyway.

About the bombings and all that, I think that's perfectly normal. We weren't made to live with so much information, we were made to live in a small tribe of a few dozen people that are all related to us in some way. When we're constantly being bombarded with information of stuff happening all around the world about complete strangers, there's no alternative but being desensitized. I don't think that's a bad thing either. Every single second there's someone around the world dealing with unimaginable pain. Some people are dying right now, some people are seeing loved ones dying right now. It's just too much information and it wouldn't be sane to feel bad about that all the time.

I remember I used to "try" to feel bad when I was younger, because I thought I should. I thought there could be something wrong with me because I didn't feel anything knowing that whatever thousands of people died somewhere. The way I see it now though, is that that's perfectly natural. What really makes us feel something is when you can relate to what a person felt. That usually doesn't happen with numbers being spewed by some news anchor.

To the OP: The way I interpreted it, the owl thing was probably just a poor attempt at comedy that was taken too seriously by a psychologist in the context of your history. You don't get into details but being hospitalized by psychological reasons and then writ ting about devouring souls, might have sounded like an alarm signal.

I agree, and that's why I think a lot of people on the forum needs to stop going on about how they hate the world/themselves, which seems to be the latest fad.

okaaaay lots of weird posts here

morbid jokes should only be made about subjects people are taking too seriously, and need to think differently about. humor is important as long as it's innocent.
i don't spit [censored] just for shock value, i don't sell myself that cheap

Hey, I've been hating the world longer than anyone I know. I don't hate myself. I'm just an angry at the world type of guy.

Yeah, and that attitude I can manage to ignore in small doses. But the forum seems flooded with the two attitudes lately.

i thought you were a girl

I...Uh...Have you heard of empathy? Jesus man, that's pretty cold. I read a really interesting book called the "psychopath test." It's about a guy who finds out what defines a psychopath and how they think differently to "normal" people. One of the classic indicators was a lack of empathy.

Just a heads up for the future.

Sorry, I know I've been worse lately. 2011 was a rough year for me so I've been very angry. I'm hoping 2012 is better bit it's still too early to see.

Cold? That's not cold at all, not by my standards. Though I get how it might appear as such, from an objective perspective.

LOL! No, now why would you think that?

Probably because of the angst attitude of a prepubascent girl.

I like your posts, very well said.

Your avatar is a sorts of representation of you. And the first time I saw it, at a quick glance, it looked like a woman in a red dress.

Oh, if you've ever watched Invader Zim then you'd know that The Tallest are just tall Irken aliens that rule over the short ones. But, yes, I'm a guy.

LOL @ TESTanner, that's mean. LOL.

Leydenne skillfully applies the smack-down!

Many people don't feel empathy for those they haven't met. Why should I concern myself with numbers on a television screen if the only names I know them by are victim 1, 2, 3 and 4?

I mean, I'm loyal to my friends and keep a tight knit circle of people I'm very close to, but those outside this circle usually don't concern me.


I can see that. I don't go around insulting people or tormenting them because of their faults, but that's only because every time I've done it (only during grade school, really) I've felt awful. Talking about nailing bodies to the side of Hoover Dam, facing West so that they may watch their world die just feels me to the brim with joy. I really don't hate people, I'm just not a fan of most of them and the odd looks on their faces are entertaining.

I end up quoting Chuck Palahniuk's books often, just because I like the minimalist, brutal honesty, and all around (while transparent, they aren't psychopaths, their just close to it) apathy of his characters.

Even ginger? I like ginger people.


Yeah, he's my favourite comedian.


Why does humour need to be "innocent"? What does that even mean? Would this exclude something like ribald humour? I like ribald humour.

as in not being a rude [censored] who hurts someone with their stupid jokes

Remember, Zardoz knows that THE [censored] IS EVIL.

Damn censors. [censored]. Knob. dike. Wiener. You get the point.
