Your opinion of most of the people in real life?

Hating on people is just a waste of time and energy.
Of course there are certain people and the "sheep" i dislike, but hate for me is a pretty powerful word that i would apply rarely.

Even with those "sheep" you have to be careful. They might feel the same way you do and "wear a mask". Maybe you would gain more and progress more yourself if you'd try to understand what motivates their actions. You know getting different perspectives on stuff.
 
Most people are fuchin SHEEEPLE! BAAAAAH BAAAAAAAAAH BAAAAAAAAH

Wehnever I see dumbasses in jersey traffic, i scream BAAAAAAAAAAH to them.

What i hate, is there is a clear mile of highway, then 40 cars all sheepleing in their herd, and another clear mile ahead. Space out! It is safer! Only sheep think safety is in the herd!


I love the title of this thread, that was my insta reply, now to go read the NMAers replys.

EDIT: Aww we're really getting into the nitty gritty here, this thread could have been a lot more fun for a royal asshole such as myself, but well, all i will say is, do not percieve the individual as you (or maybe just me) percieve the masses. I hate the masses, I like people though! Like people said, give individuals the benefit of the doubt. To know them, is to get to know them, or something like that.

meh, I don't think so. You were lucky then, in your high schook, because usually it's not that better. Nowadays nerds splits into geeks, nerds, emos, gothics, hipsters and all of those so called 'urban tribes' during high school. And the cool kids just keep being the cool kids. I don't think the high school is much of an improvement compared to elementary school.

I studied in a small school, which didn't have the number of students to enable these tribes. I had only 25 people in my class. I wasn't badly treated by anyone after the 9th grade. We were a big "fraternity" of sorts.

True. It's also an indicator of self-loathing.

I pity people as victims of the mindless or idiotic or malicious forces that created them (erm...us? I guess I'm included in that).
 
I don't really hate people but I tend to stay away or withdrawn from most people, I just can't relate. Specially people my age (I'm 20), Most of my friends I grown up with share very few interest as I do. Most of them are into partying, having sex, smoking pot or drinking and I just can't relate to any of that, I'm more of a introvert I rather do something nice and quiet at home. I can't even hold a conversion with most of them and as a result we've grown apart. My only close friend is a man who is in his late to mid 60's which is fine by me I've always been kinda of a loner. I much rather have one or two close friends then be in a room full of people I can't relate to.

Well, I am too I bit introvert too. I also I have lost many of my friends from highschool as well. But that's normal as your life changes so do your friends. Now you are in transition phase.
 
If you think high school is bad, just wait until you get a job. If you're dealing with a few hundred people a day, you may get TWO who don't treat you like shit.

I've found the easiest way to keep sane is to just fuck with those pieces of human garbage any way you can. I'm a huge advocate of "Don't get mad, get even". If you work retail, hit up your bank and get $5 in pennies and $5 in nickles. When giving change to assholes, only give them pennies and nickels. People fucking HATE pennies and nickels. When they complain about it (and they will), just smile and say that's all you have.

If you work in the food industry, you can get really creative with shitheads. Blowing a load in their milkshakes is a classic.

I push carts, so I can just block people from backing out. But when I work cashier, I try to be polite and courteous to the "bad" customers, so that the people waiting behind see how much of a dick/bitch they are [it's worked :D ]
 
Yeah, my philosophy used to be a lot more like Phil's, but not anymore. It's still hard not to get upset when people do stupid things, but the more anger and hatred I poured into any situation, the more that came out ... and we were all swimming in the same toxic pool.

Nowadays I try not to be the one spewing toxins; I've come to realize I'm not immune to their effects.... and the more tolerance one tries to show, the more likely others will reciprocate in kind.

That's not to say that there aren't narcissists out there, though: those people - often called "workplace bullies" - have to be avoided / isolated as much as possible. They're toxic and pathological.

I love people.

I never understood this "me against the world" and "everyone except me are idiots" mentality. Must be an age thing.
Things have changed quite a bit since I was young. It's not THAT long ago, though.
Then again, I might have been luckier with the people around me than others have.
We never had these "typical American high-school stereotype" groups of people at any of my schools in my youth. No real social classes in my experience.
But of course, we do have our problems in Norwegian society. But non that really affected me.

And before you "me against the world"-people think I'm just a go-with-the-flow kind of guy. No, I'm not.
I'm adaptive, but I don't aim to please all or follow anything just because it's mainstream.
I don't make friends with everyone. Not everyone is compatible with my personality. That's not saying they've got it wrong. That's just how it works.

Still, I love people. Friends really are the best part of my day.

And women, even though they're crazy.
 
I like people and get along with most. I'm definitely not the one who starts arguments for the sake of it, don't get any satisfaction from that like some seem to. Some might interpret my quiet demeanor as an expression of negative attitude but it usually just means that I'm listening what the other person has to say.

That's probably one of the worst causes of the problem, whether sheep-ism or out-group hating or whatever: we tend to round up all the teens going through all these raging hormones and shove them in a small space and force them to interact. Sort of like some prison/survivor/deathmatch thing.

lol re: your last line. Maybe both are related: our hormones / genetics / biology is not adapted to the modern world, it drives us crazy. Maybe we just need to mutate (sshhhhh!!!) or get busy producing our technological offspring (AI) and bypass the biology thing altogether.

Since this thread is about people, I hope this does'nt come across as me trying my hand at the dark arts.

I've got a mate who is something of a skeptic, but at the same time a massive conspiracy theorist - or atleast his girlfriend is and he just plays along.

We had a discussion about Astrology and she fell into "They're just as stupid as the people that thinks we've been to the moon". I'll admit I was literally dumbstruck for more than a minute while she gabbed on about how the flag can't move if there's no atmosphere.

I made a halfarsed attemt to explain stored energy to her but I was too chocked and pissed to actually explain it well.

Has anyone else here had any similar dealings with this sort of thing?
He's really a good friend, one of very few, but I have no idea how people actually react to being confronted about things like this, and I can't really relate to it.
Let it be? Go for it?

Yet predictable and, with experience easy to deal with. The same is not at all true of many histrionics.

I don't really hate anyone and don't have much animosity towards the general populous, it's not like they (or anyone else) really has any say in it all. Then again, I've never held a job which requires me to interact directly with peeps I don't know, so perhaps my attitude will be less philosophical in the future?

EDIT: Screw you Roshambo's ghost!

Its not so much stored energy, they had a piece of flexible metal to hold up the flag and then when they put it down it started waving. But yes stored kinetic energy would've played a part.
 
They've actually made whole Mythbuster episode about "we haven't been on the moon, hurrr-durrr" bullshit :D In almost complete vaccum (space, as Moon virtually has no atmosphere) there's no air resistance, so flag waves even more.

As of complete dumb fucks, I have a friend (I really like her, but she's got REALLY fucking dumb ideas sometimes), that left school, because she sees no sense in learning, as the world is going to end in 2012. *TURBO-FUCKING-DOUBLE-MASSIVE-FACEPALM*

It's a lazy mode of thinking and a lazy way to feel superior.
