I am a humanist, but most people drive me fucking nuts.

[nytemare]

Does this also make me a masochist?

:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

1. Nah. You're just easily annoyed.

Me too.

[nytemare]

2. Thing is, I'm not so easily annoyed.

It is that the bigger things that annoy me are happening now with so much greater frequency.

:D

[Floogeldy]

6. To what "bigger things" are you referring?

[nytemare]

7. For instance, on Thursday driving to work.

I was driving along in traffic, then a guy comes up behind me tailgating me so close I couldn't see his headlights. There is a van in front of me, more traffic in front of him, and the light turned, so, as I was coming to a stop, this guy almost rear ends me and pulls into the turn lane, then shadows my blind spot, pulls up right next to me, and jerks over into my lane twice, I was pretty much at a stop and a car was next to me, so I didn't have much room, but I had to swerve as best I could to avoid being hit by the guy. So, after he did that, he just sat there a couple seconds, and then turned right.

:wtf: :wtf: :shrug: :shrug:

There was nowhere I could go, there was traffic beside me, and in front of me, and the guy is on my ass and almost hitting me. Serious mental imbalance. There are truly some creepy folks around, and in my probably slightly biased view, it just seems much worse in the last few years since Bush has been in office. I think it is trickle down Fecenomics.

9. Obey all traffic rules.

If a car hits your car, stop and call the police.

This is not rocket science. Not that you are not capable.

[tbyg52]

3. Nah,

just human. ;)

[MoseyWalker]

4. no

it makes you possibly exceptional, and most likely an individual who has thoughts and ideas that should be listened to!

[nytemare]

10. Why, thank you Mosey!

I have been thinking about a lot lately.

Must be reading too much Carl Sagan.

:hi:

[politicat]

5. I like individual people and I like the idealized humanity, but I can't...

Stand most of the fuckers running around calling themselves human. So yeah, I know exactly where you are.

I hate the fact that we have about as much collective sense as a pack of six day old puppies. I hate the fact that we tend to mob together and behave like sheep. I hate the fact that letting other people think for us is so much easier than thinking for ourselves.

We could be so fabulous if we'd just get used to using our big brains to take care of each other instead of fucking around like utter morans.

It's okay. Being an Asshole comes with having one. Once we all figure this out and concentrate on being happy, generous assholes, we'll start getting someplace.

[nytemare]

8. Bingo.

Lately it seems the whole country has gotten a "fuck everybody else" attitude. Just a total lack of concern for other people, or even an ability to acknowledge that others even have a right to exist. The world is their trash can. Stop signs don't exist for them, or turn signals. They don't have a neck or mirrors to even look if someone else is around them. They don't bother, or care.

I must just be very grumpy.

:D

[politicat]

13. And the LOOOOOVE to hang out in blindspots.

It's like the national pastime.

[nytemare]

16. Yep, or hang out beside semi trucks when they can get by them.

Get around the big rigs! The drivers can't see you down there.

:)

[Fox Mulder]

11. Most people drive me fucking nuts.

That's why I prefer to spend most of my time alone.

I just can't stand people in general.

[nytemare]

12. There are a lot of good folks out there.

But they can't outnumber all the folks who drive me batty, I suppose.

:D

[smirkymonkey]

19. Same here - but then I judge myself for hating most people and

wanting to be alone and I feel bad about it.

I would love to live with a few big dogs, lots of books and the occasional visitors with which to discuss ideas. Other than that, I have no use for most people. I just don't enjoy human company that much.

Have you ever read Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse? He so wonderfully describes the mind and thoughts of those of us who can't seem to join the rest of the human race in it's mindless pursuit of the trivial.

[peekaloo]

14. for me, being a humanist means

you accept the fact that more than a few people are assholes.

[FoxOnTheRun]

15. If you like other people driving over your nuts, you are clearly maso.

:woohoo:

But I suppose you don't like it...

[nytemare]

17. I imagine that would hurt.

Since I am a gal, I would only be able to imagine.

:D

[FoxOnTheRun]

18. Even that works

lol there is a hypnotist on the internet who hypnotizes girls and he can just trigger orgasms by words,
one of many things he does is he gives the woman a bottle and says she is a now a man.
One mean thing is he gives her blue balls and it works.


But I think that nobody wants to imagine that kind of pain ...brrr
