While you're yacking off about me, once again misquoting me in order to satisfy your anti-FD08 agenda, might as well share the top neg rep received thus far:

He just said what the rest of us felt after reading your dumb-*** posts.

Got any other whack-job blogger's posts that you'd care to share with us?

Governments have a history of playing off people's emotions, because the race has shown time and time again that it is effective. It is the greatest flaw to humans. Once we learn to quell it and exercise patience, our race will be able to progress.

Apparently you are even more seriously disturbed than I first thought. :rolleyes:

I don't care about you one way or the other; I merely and clearly object to certain behaviors in certain settings.

You do live in a mostly civil society.

Occasionally people, all people, insert a filter between their thoughts and their words: "hmm, if I express these thoughts out loud or in a public forum, how might they affect others? Being aware of how they might affect others, do I want to rephrase them to mitigate their impact? Might I even decide to delay expressing them to another time or place?"

It is not about you at all Dude. it is merely about your execrable absence of any decency and total disregard for basic manners and etiquette in all settings.

Several people even asked you only to have good manners in your school thread; they don't care a whit about what you say or do any place else. At least don't defecate where you live.

You can't even restrain yourself among friends. I can count 14 different people in the school thread who have told you off about something inappropriate you said there.

It is not anti-FD08 you [redacted]. It is about your deliberate hurtful thoughtlessness. That's a very different thing. You want to be clever that's fine. Just learn a little discretion. Just because you think it doesn't mean you have to say it.



Finally, how again did I "mis-quote" you??

You lose it all when you've experienced loss first-hand. It's happened, nothing more you can do about it. Pretty much have to keep on moving.

People don't even know if their family and friends are alive and well and you have to toss in that comment? You couldn't even wait for the bodies to be identified first???

Are you really seriously trying to say that, given the time and place and situation, that this was a reasonable thing to say then?

You say it's not all about me, yet you take the time out to craft a three-paragraph post about me while trying to mask that you're talking about me. In addition to your deliberately telling people to ignore me because you happened to not like what I said just confirms that you have an obsession with me. If this is incorrect, then just put me on ignore and move on. You seem to like to talk about that, but it's put up or shut up time.

You did misquote me. You paraphrased what I said to add a "get over it" spin and then put it into quotation marks, which is something that I never said. However, if you want to talk about the content of what I said, now that you ACTUALLY quoted it, we'll talk about it. Did the world stop turning? Did seconds stop ticking? No. This is something that you learn when you lose family members. Nothing can be done to bring them back, so why dwell on it? I said it in the thread, and I'll say it again because you seem to conveniently overlook it, I'm sorry to read that this happened. Life has bad breaks. The world will not stop turning, so why make ourselves vulnerable? We, as a country, made that mistake when 9/11 happened. We will not make the mistake again.

I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm going to be blunt. You're a human being, so you deserve to hear the truth and nothing different. If you can't handle the truth, then don't read what I have to type. There is absolutely no reason in this world to intentionally fib or kid around, unless it is an inherent skill needed within a game. It's one of the last thing the aforementioned deceased family member told me, and I intend to exercise it.

Yes exactly! Quell your impulses from time to time and you exercise patience. you want others to do so, is it too much to ask that you also do it yourself too?

Congratulations on taking what I said out of context. Read it all again. Or are you going to keep running your propaganda machine?
 
Re: Awe-Inspiring Neg Rep

When I first read FD's post that has everyone up in arms I took it completely different than apparently everyone else did. I didn't think he was directing that towards victims families or people affected by this event, he wasn't telling victims to "get over it". I thought he was saying that as a society we have to keep on moving, terrible things happen, we have to mourn, deal with them, and continue to move forward. No matter what the tragedy, we do this, some just take longer than others. I wasn't offended by what he posted because I interpreted the post differently. Do I think he could have used some more tact in this situation, definitely, but I really don't think he meant the hurt that most of you seem to think he did.

The world did in fact stop yesterday for several people and the people who know them and love them. It also stood still for many who were left wondering if their loved ones were safe.

You've lost someone and gotten over it? Good for you. Bet it took some time though. Bet you weren't over their loss before their blood was dry on the sidewalk where they had their legs blown off.

Of course the world won't stop turning because of this and individual lives don't amount to much in the grand scheme of this planet. We all know this.

I've also had a life-crushing personal tragedy. My world stopped for several months and as I watched the world go on oblivious to my personal tragedy, I understood the truth that you cite. Life does go on. It must. It should.

However, I have never been so callous as to think that others who experience something similar should just get over it and move on. I have greater empathy for them knowing what it is to personally go through it. I can put myself in their position and mourn for them.

I have come to peace with my own situation and I know that for anyone else who must go through it, the only thing that can help is time. I certainly wouldn't ever tell them to "get over it."

But then again, I'm human.


EDIT: Took out my over-share.

Regardless, society wasn't going to move on an hour and a half after it happened. Tact and timing were horrible and he's since doubled and tripled down on his idiocy.

You hit the nail on the head. I'd do this in rep, but I must spread.

I agree with you that he didn't "mean" the hurt. What (until now) had been infuriating was not whether he "meant" it or not but that he made it abundantly clear in subsequent posts that he didn't care if people were bothered or not.




Now that he's revealed just how shallow and petty he can be, I've set aside any anger I might have had. Now the only thing I feel toward him is pity. It must be such a sad life never once to say "oops, I was wrong." Such an empty life in which being "right" all the time is the most important thing, something that matters more than decent social relationships.


It is so liberating to acknowledge one's own mistakes, and so comforting to have family and friends who love you and care about you, even if you do make a mistake now and then. Funny thing is, the less "perfect" you are, the more likable you often become....at least, if you are thoughtful about what matters to others.
