Other people have done well enough speaking for me. Ya know, I told myself that given the circumstances around my being here these days is cause for me to just back out, however the things you’ve said to me just make me cringe. As such, I’m going to deal with every sentence of yours point to point, because quite frankly I’m fucking offended.

You’re heartless(1). You don’t care that a girl died, because you didn’t know her.(2) In other words, if it doesn’t affect you, it’s totally fine.(3) Definition: Narcissistic, to the extreme.(4)
- Not exactly. Sure, I can be a jerk at times, but many, many people here have seen me fall to my knees on many subjects. I am far from heartless.
2)That would be correct. Tell me, why exactly, I should feel the need to mourn the death of someone that died that I not only had no relation too in any shape, way, or form, but I never knew at all? I assume you don’t light a candle everytime someone dies? Do you read the obituaries and shed a tear for every single person? Do you look at the death lists of those who died overseas and write a letter to their families explaining how grateful you are for them doibng whatever it is they did? No? I didn’t think so. So, why exactly, are you lecturing me on caring about people dieing?
3)That would also be correct. Like I said, I didn’t know this girl, I never met her, I heard her name maybe twice in relation to her school activities (cross country and track). So, to reiterate, why should I mourn the death of someone I don’t know? Do you?
4)Narcisstic? That’s just random. If anything, that is what this thread is about, people trying to make themselves feel better by saying great things about this poor girl - those people I quoted NEVER MET HER. That, is narcissisim. I was never shining the limelight on this poor girl, whom I’ve never met, and putting her up on that pedastal and praising her for things I heard about her doing. That’s what this post is about, people praising people for things they heard about someone doing, for being a good person despite never meeting them. If you had bothered reading it, you would know that.
I don’t understand why you would post this(1). You’re blithely atheist(2). You have no reason to mourn anyone’s death, unless you just feel like it(3). Are you trying to convince people that you’re completely self-absorbed? In that case, point proven.(4)

My reason for making this post was to make a general comment on how people today seem to overly glorify the dead. How, because someone is dead, they are suddenly a great person who did amazing things. Specifically, this girl. I had heard her name a few times on the intercom, so I knew she existed, and I knew she ran cross country and track on my school. Maybe I saw her in the hall one day. Maybe I bumped into her. Point is, I never had any real contact with this girl; I never had a conversation with her, I never ate lunch with her, nothing. My lack of affiliation with her is why I’m not mourning.

And? What does this have to do with anything? I should call you a right wing conservative fucker for playing the religion card for no reason - but I won’t, even though I know you are. Athiesm is a lack of belief in a higher power, which has nothing to do with my mourning of the dead. My father died, despite my dislike of him, It sucked he was gone. As such, I mourned. I was an athiest then, just like I am now. So what’s your point?
-
No, not at all. I won’t mourn someones death if I don’t know them. Why should I? What would they care? Would they want a complete stranger mourning over their death? Would it matter to them anyway? No, I don’t think so. So why should I belittle them with my bullshit? Why should YOU belittle them with YOUR bullshit?
-
I may be arrogant, but that still has nothing to do with anything. I don’t know where you got this whole narcissistic image of me, because I try relativly hard to make sure people don’t think I’m Hades.
You seem irritated that other people care.(1) I suppose you’re trying to convince them not to care, or find support for your apathy.(2) Either way, so that you’re more secure in that little world of yourself.(3) It’s rather ironic. You make a post about how little you care about people you don’t know, on a message board full of people who will never see you.(4) Maybe if you’re convincing enough, you can get them to stop caring about you.(5)
-
No, I should seem irritated that people who never knew this girl are suddenly praising her like she was christ reincarnated.
-
You suppose wrong, I’m merely ranting and raving about society as a whole uses the death of people to stroke their own egos by mourning for the death of people they’ve never met to make themselves feel like less of a shitty person. Like I said, if you had actually read any of my thread, you’d understand that.

What little world? The world where friends and family mourn the death of a beloved, as opposed to random strangers they’ve never seen or heard from joining in and disrupting them in their mourning process? I’ve had family members die before, I know how obtrusive it is - and let me say that my mom worked in a funeral home for 6 years, I’ve attended numerous wakes and seen the famalies meet just absolutly random people that they had never even heard of. It’s just more people, which is often time a pain in the ass.

I can see your point. However, I’ve been ranting about this for the last few days with my friends in real life, and seeing as how often times this is an appropriate place for discussions dealing with a varied number of subjects, I figured I would open the doors here as well. I see little to no problem with that at all, and besides, as you so pointed out, I may never meet any of these people, so why am I even here in the first place? Why are you? Why are any of us? By what your saying, we’re all just wasting time here.
Overall, you just spouted bullshit nonsense about me, someone whom you’ve almost never, ever talked too, someone who you know little about at all, no direct contact with me ever. So, why do you take it upon yourself to not only try to insult my being, but my lack of belief? Do I offend you that much? I haven’t done anything to you, ever, but you some how seem to desire to need to put me on the hotspot and try and fight me. I don’t need a reason, I don’t really care. Keep it to yourself. Anything you say ever, from now on, will never be taken seriously by not only myself, but a number of the people here, as if it ever was. After seeing what you’ve posted in the past, you’ve sealed whatever fate you had here. You’ve made yourself look like a complete and utter fool. And for that, all I can do is laugh.
edit Upon your response, you seemed to completly miss my point. My thread was about people that pretend to care when they don’t, for the sole purpose of feeding their own egos. You must have missed this when I initially said it.
