Actually, people in war ridden 3rd world countries whine about their lives 90% less than middle class american teens.

There is a difference between trying to fix your situation (applicable to homeless, Sierra Leone, etc.) and sitting there and thinking that life is pointless. the former can yield results, the later does nothing except giving us horrible poetry.

Oh, but when someone opens the fridge, I look inside and ask for a snack... Especially chocolate, I always keep my chocolate in the fridge.

Putting candy in the freezer yields better results, especially stuff like Snickers, Twix, think mints, and chocolate chip cookies.

Uh huh. *takes notes*

And what could be more rich, mysterious and inviting than chocolate, you see?

It probably is not a good idea to air your greivances about what other folks on the forum have done.
If someone unfriended me, I'd either move on, or ask them why, via private message.

i dont have many friends either, mostly cause im a self avowed [censored]. i wouldnt bother with online friends, im willing to bet that almost all of the "female" members here are really overweight, balding, sweaty old dudes sitting in their basemant in their underoos.

to be honest im alot happier now with my very small number of long time close friends compared to my early 20s when i would hang out with any number of people as long as booze was around. i grew out of my party stage and i dont intend to ever go back.

i am currently on unemployment and im starting college this fall and probably wont finish till im almost 40.

i only have one nvidia 285 card. (id like to see someone even attempt to come up with a sob story that beats this)

i drive a lexus........from 1996

and yet i love my life cause everytime i visit childrends hospital or a nursing home i think "better them than me" and i feel better.

... And there's plenty of knives, forks, and other utensils that you could jab, stab, or bludgeon someone with, right?

Coffee!....Wait that's inappropriate. :glare:

You're right about the population of war-torn countries. Although that jack-boot to the teeth likely has more to do with it than anything else.
Considering how many people (including myself, although you can all feel free to continue making presumptions if you'd like) have spent time as volunteers and peace-keepers in 3rd world countries over the past century, and how few of the situations have been resolved, I'd still argue, life is pointless.

What I want to know is, http://video.advltswim.com/metalocalypse/prepare-for-ultimate-flavor.html

Balding no. Overweight? Don't we all think so? Sweaty, it's 32C and more humid than a World Cup jockstrap right now. I'm at my desk in the staffroom, it's Chinese exam day so I have nothing to do, I have a job interview this afternoon so I am planning what to do if I have to teach something.
And I'll be a dude if you want.

And indeed I am wearing my underwear, and a black trouser suit too.
Oh and I'm 43.

Then pray tell, why did you bother to volunteer if it was pointless?

If we could direct any and all iron-clad grips on pessimism towards the pastries thread it would be much appreciated.

Chocolate cake? Especially if it's delicious and moist.

:laugh:

I just don't see the point in being upset that our world is not perfect. If you are trying to make it better, great for you. But at some point you have to accept our current situation as a sort of status quo, and learn to live with it. Yes, there is going to be war and suffering and all kinds of other crap - there always has and always will be. But you can't just ignore all the things we *do* have. Our life expectancy and quality of living are rising ever year. Hundreds of diseases have been wiped out by vaccination, medicine, and proper screening. Thousands more have become treatable and survivable. We can communicate instantly across the web, see art and hear music made across the globe, experience things we would never have known about before. The very fact that you have time to care about other people shows how great our life is - even 100 years ago you would have been struggling to put food on your family's table.

so do you interview chinese or examine them like in medical examine?

if your looking for something to do while you wait for them might i suggest one of my favorites. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4dvEPr4Fr4

School, man, school!

Life is as pointless as you make it.

To your competition, no. Like Nietzsche the only thing you get to do with all of that is depress people.

And frankly, if you want to keep this up take it to pm.

Who's Frankly?

With the exception of Justin Bieber, all those things have been around since the beginning of human society. AIDS may not have come up until the 80s, but plenty of similarly horrible diseases existed before. The fact that people with AIDS can now live relatively normal lives is another testament to our progress.

Just an inspirational quote to end this discussion on lets get back to helping the OP, shall we?

oh sorry......misunderstoodified your statement. sounds like an interesting career choice why would you want to change.....unless your not getting paid much.

This guy I run into every once in a while. He's short and pointy, you see?
