Today I realised something.

(ok, not so much realised, as i've known this forever, but actually felt it first hand)

This world is full of assholes. Human civilization thrives on assholes. EVERY SINGLE PERSON in this world, is an asshole, be it you, be it me, be it that bully that stole your sons lunch money. Everybody is an asshole.

You may argue that your best friend is not an asshole. Of course he isn't an ass to you, that's what makes you guys the closest and best of friends! BUT, he is or has been a complete jerk, at least once in his life, to at least one person in the world.

Some people are more jerks than others, but everybody is a jerk.

No, i'm not doing the whole emo preach thing, "the whole world is out to get me", i'm just saying, that everybody in the world is a JERK!

Tell me, if you were driving down the road with your best buds (highschool times), and you pulled up to a skinny sunbleached freshman with thick glasses, carrying his books, head up high, wearing a yellow "school pride!" shirt, would you not honk your horn and flip him off?

You may argue "I'd never do anything like that, how rude!", but that's not the point. What i'm trying to say is, there will always be a time in your life when somebody you may or may not know, will completely and utterly loathe you, for something you did or did not do. There are just people in this world that will see you as an ass, just as you see that guy who stole your sons lunch money as an ass.

[secondary argument, just a deeper thinking thing]

So, if there is always going to be somebody who thinks you're a geek, or thinks you're an asshole, then why bother to change yourself? You'll only cause yourself into a different demographic of hate.

There's no point mulling over anything for more than a day really, if you think about it. Fiance broke up with you for her ex? Well, just think. She didn't like you. There's no point in trying to change yourself to make her like you, you'll just end up hurting yourself even more.

That guy at school threw a milk carton at your face, and the whole room laughed at you? No point pouting about it. They're just being assholes, as human nature taught them. Just like you. No point trying to be cool to get everybody to like you, you'll just end up hurting yourself even more.

See what i'm saying? Just being yourself will lead to eternal happiness. I know allot of you will say "omfg, this guy's a total retard, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!" and well, maybe you're right. Hell, I even knew that before today, but today, I finally felt the [negative] side of things, first hand, and while I was pouting and pissing over it for a few minutes, I sat down with this geek kid and started talking to him, and I realized "Hey, there's no point pouting. There's always going to be somebody out there that'll piss me off to no end, so why bother sulk about one ass?"
 
I used to always take things personal. If someone called me fat, I took it to heart. I don't now. Good thing I don't -- I'd never survive in High School.
 
I've known this for a while. The secret to life is to try as hard as you can not to be an asshole, and don't take anything personally. That, and to kick ass in BF2.
 
I'm a guy.
For a while, my hair just about reached my ass.

Guys were total asses, gals were pretty nice. Things balanced out.
--
Oh, and some inspirational speaking from Tarik (Harold and Kumar)
-Look at me. I'm fat, black, can't dance, and I have two gay fathers. People have been messing with me my whole life. I learned a long time ago there's no sense getting all riled up every time a bunch of idiots give you a hard time. In the end, the universe tends to unfold as it should.

Plus I have a really large penis. That keeps me happy.

--Thats all you ever need to know.

Well see, my second argument (which I didn't post, maybe i'll edit), is that...

If there is always going to be somebody out there who thinks you're an asshole, they why bother change yourself just to please them? If you slap everybody you see for the hell of it, then you definetly need to shape up, but if one guy tells you that you're an asshole, then why bother change just for him?

Because I like to know these things.

Ah...well, uh, yeah, but don't you think it might not be entirely futile to attempt to improve yourself? There are some characteristics that are universally arse-holey and furthermore it might be possible to narrow the amount of people that hate you. Not to mention that there's a difference between hating someone and them being an arse, and if you were jesus you'd never be an arse to anyone so people would only hate you out of their own personal opinions.

See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to **** all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get ****ed by dicks. But dicks also **** assholes. And if they didn't **** the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!

This thread is approaching emo... but still not quite there yet.
 
perhaps, but the assholes that make up the goverment are always right. :angel:
 
Once in a while, you have to put on the emo song.
 
Yeah, society sucks. I've been saying that for quite some time.

All I could think of was Spaceballs.

"I'm surrouned by assholes!" :laugh:
 
Um, I'm missing the part where you explain how I'm a jerk, in your first post Sinkoman. You started asking what you would do in a situation where you saw a nerd, and then said that most of us wouldn't do something cruel, and then you just moved onto another point.

So would you please explain why EVERYONE is a jerk, again? I don't think I am. I can't recall any time where I've mistreated someone (In real life ;))
 
I heard once that 10% are very good and would never try to screw you over and 10% of people are complete assholes who would any chance they get.
 
I'm the nicest asshole you'll ever meet, an asshole nonetheless but i'll be the first to admit it.

wow they must have used some industrial strength brainwashing fluid on you cuz you're like some automaton-government-loving-mouthpiece ...guy



people are assholes out of defense or because they dont know any better cuz they're ..well ..assholes.
 
:cat: I try to live my life with many of the points you just made.:cat:

I am a bit of what you might call a "loser":cat: but I am happier that 99% of people I come across. :p

:cat:I went to the school homecoming dance with a girl who didn't quit grasp this concept. :cat: She was constantly whining about how she wanted to kill herself because she wasn't as pretty as the other girls:cat: (she was actually extremely attractive):cat:. She found a note between two people gossiping about her and saying she talked too much, she called me crying and talking about how mean they were.:cat: I kept trying to explain to her that she shouldn't care about what people like that think and should be happy being herself. :cat: She just ignored what I said and kept complaining about how awful her life was.:cat: I kept telling her how lucky she was to have a family that loved her, and a roof over her head, food to eat etc...:cat: But she wouldn't shut up.:cat:

:cat: Needless to say, I didn't ask her out again. :rolleyes: :cat:

EDIT: This post was to serious, so I added fifteen cat smiley faces.:cat:
 
I think people need to spend less time (no time really) getting angry or upset. It's funny that people don't think it's possible for everyone to get along. We use the word "hate" like it's nothing these days.
 
We act how our brains react to situations, simple as.

And OvA, you should have given her something to really complain about.

I considered it numerous times, but I decided to stay nice just incase she randomly decides to sleep with me.
 
Yeah, all of human kind is a wasteful use of resources!
I think we should send our personal thanks to Bin Laden etc, both for BEING an asshole, and for killing assholes!
He's a fine example of what we should all be doing! Killing eachother til there's no-one left!
Preferably with nuclear or biochemical weapons!

We're ALL shitheads/assholes, seriously, I don't think there's any single human being in this world that hasn't ever been mean to one another!

Anyway, since we're all such huge assholes, I promote genocide of all of mankind!

We should build robots to do the job!:D

Edit.

I just got a great idea, I'm gonna form AHSU! Anti-Human Species Union!:D

Anyone up to join?!*freaksout*

You change the way you react to things. I think it's a useful change. The way we grow up obviously affects the way we react to things so the more we start to change to positive reactions then the less we'll recieve negative. If people are sick of people talking about how people are so hurtful then maybe people should stop being so hurtful?

Well the way things are going we will destroy ourselves anyway.
Think of yeast in a nice bottle of apple juice, will thrive and burst into life, replicating as fast as they can, adding more sugar they will survive until the alcohol levels start to build and they all eventually die.

Basically we'll die in our own shit.
 
Most species eradicate'emselves after a while, but there's always something of'em left, i.e. things that evolved from'em, hopefully it'll be the same for us, so that all the nedless killing and destroying for our survival won't be a total waste, otherwise we'll atleast probably find some way to try to further our "survival"(I.e. trying to build computers that're indestructable and keeps all the data possible on our civilization).

Sorry for my sort off trollish post, I came off as overly aggressive and unserious perhaps, I'm just one of those assholes that have temperament problems, seriously, soz.
