Why do some people–I’ve noticed it a lot on this site–call one a troll if you say something that upsets their feelings, no matter how truthful and factual you are being?
Essentially it goes like this:
Person A is debating Person B. Â Person A says something Person B gets upset by. Â Person C interjects and agrees with Person A. Â Person B says Person A is also Person C and a troll.
So the logic is … everyone who agrees with Person A is Person A.
Do you think this line of reasoning is a symptom of suicidal thoughts, or is it something that affects a wider section of the population?
I want to understand these people, because stupidity depresses me more and adds to my woes. Â Not only am I genitally mutilated and unable to feel sex/masturbation, I also have to suffer the majority of the population who really do appear to have no critical-thinking skills whatsoever. Â I’ve often said that the saying ‘ignorance is bliss’ is true, and I’ve often thought having Down’s Syndrome could make me happier. I have read literature that says there is a link between depression and high intelligence.

Interesting.
Is that a picture of you? You’re quite dashing. 🙂
No, it’s just a Google image but he looks so much happier than me. He will be , too.
I’m just waiting for someone to miss the point entirely and throw a hissy fit for ‘mocking Down Syndromes’.
^^ Lulz.
I think it’s inherent in human nature. It seems like it’s how all of society is formed. Person A seems wrong, so Person B protests. Along comes Person C, who supports Person A. Person B doesn’t like Person A (including Person C), so Person B pulls out a shotgun and executes them both. Person B lives happily, and then Person D comes along with an RPG…
Just to mention, I’m not trying to be literal here.
I wish I had a shotgun. It would take a lot of nerve, but it would be a manlier way to go than sleeping pills.
I disagree. The only way going out with a shotgun would be manly is if one has a penis. Sorry, but I don’t like to associate masculinity or femininity with generalisations, unless they’re related to genitalia or other sexual functions, then I can understand.
You’d be better off not taking anyone too seriously. It’s ok to listen to people but don’t take what they say to heart.
Do you buy everything that every salesperson sells you? Do you believe every single preacher? Do you believe everything that all politicians say? Do you believe that all advertisements are factual?
“We’re here to entertain and to be entertained by others”. If you allow others to get under your skin you’ll drive yourself insane. Focus on you, forget about people who are inconsistent, illogical, hysterical, batty, histrionic, etc. (Unless you want a girlfriend. Then you’ll have to adapt). 🙂
Girlfriend? No, I shunned womankind long ago due to not feeling sex. Once you realise that the only reason for having a girlfriend is gone, you just need to accept that you will be on your own for life, however short that life may be.
One moment, so the primary reason to maintain a relationship with a woman is for sex and sex only?
Not feeling sex?
hey lawrencenewman? I don’t know why you were on the receiving end of so much vitriolic rhetoric today. You seem like a decent individual to me. Your arguments were valid, well reasoned, and articulate. You think before you speak/write. For what it’s worth I think you’re a decent human being who’s been dealt a harsh hand. (Poker metaphor).
I sincerely wish you the best. You’re a good guy. Peace, brother.
Cheers, man! Greetings from Scotland.
Ugh, all of these people on this website are from such interesting places. I’m fortunate enough to examine the rare species of Alabamians and their prejudices. You get cool, creepy castles and bad weather.
you see, everyone on internet is self justified, self righteous. since they are assured that you cannot physically punch them in any way, they can say anything, troll anything, even when they know they are wrong. these are egoistic people, not caring for others’ feelings – two deadly combinations.
this site should be different. people should try to see the world from others’ eyes before judging them. open people come here, honest and open. if you cannot FEEL the situation of other in your mind, you should not say anything… atleast not anything negative. you might be right, but still you will be wrong, because psychology matters more than “fact”.
@Quaero: “everyone on internet is self justified, self righteous. since they are assured that you cannot physically punch them in any way, they can say anything, troll anything, even when they know they are wrong.” :))
Well, if it quacks like a duck, has the same IP as a duck…
Can you provide us with evidence that I share the same IP as the other poster you said was me?
If you go back and check our posts, you’ll see that on a couple of occasions we posted almost at the same time. There wouldn’t be enough time to log out and log in as another user in a whole 7 seconds. I think you know you’re wrong but it’s okay, I don’t expect an apology.
Uh, yes, it’s called logging in with multiple browser sessions. Not exactly a technical feat of massive ingenuity.

So you’re one of those gender is a social construct people. You don’t think anything is innately feminine or masculine apart from genitalia? Really? All you need to do is observe the nature of Man and Woman to see that’s false. Men and women are most definitely different. Look at the suicide statistics–80% of suicides are men. There’s a reason for that and it’s related to male nature.
I’m sorry you feel so sad because you were mean to people and they were mean in return. Do you want a hug? I just baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies, can I offer you some?
Where was I mean to people?
Is that a no? Now I’m sad. Dammit, I think I need to start my own pity party thread.
Where was I mean to people?
Every time you type some vitriolic nonsense?
I’ll make the punch from fresh tears!
@DN95 The crybabies are strong in this one.
Perception is stronger than actuality sometimes. What people “feel” is more real to them than what actually happens.
Ever seen that movie “The Matrix”? The majority of humanity is literally/actually asleep, and their life is happening in a dream-like state. They’re imagining it. They’re resting in their pods and “existing” or living their life via their preconceived notions of what reality consists of while they dream. “Reality” exists only in their brain, not in the outside world.
Real life here in the 21st century isn’t so different from that.
I know, it’s all about the feelz nowadays. The media reinforces this mentality. You know, like how a politician could give a really groundbreaking speech, dealing with a whole array of important issues, challenging the consensus and making people think, but all the media want to do is obsess over how he may have offended someone by using an ‘inappropriate’ word. So many people seem to act like children. I think it’s related to the feminisation of society.
We’re just making plans for Nigel. 🙂 hehe. I was reminded of that XTC song today.
Lawrence–what motivated you to upload someone else’s photo to SP? Is it yours? If it isn’t, did you get the owner’s consent?
Uh-oh, it’s the cops! Hide all the drugs everyone! Stuff them up your anus if you have to!
ILY DN95.
I guess this song would be inappropriate right now:
http://youtu.be/OD8G70iUI9w
I don’t think the guy in the pic will mind.
Oh, he’ll mind all right…
Zeke is awesome. Damn….so Canadians with good taste in music exist? Huh. Wow.
Maybe you’re not just lapdogs for Americans…..
We’re not? It was always my greatest aspiration to be the pet Chihuahua of a couple of Hollywood airheads. If good taste in music disqualifies me from this position, I may have to rethink my life goals.
All hope is not lost. You can still be an airhead with dubious tastes. Just be yourself. 🙂
Good advice.
Anyone going to Hollywood should listen to this first: http://youtu.be/b_8U93SvVyY
Ooooo The Distillers! Eh I think some Social D or Rancid fit the mood when im downtown LA.
there once was a little troll on SP
who bitched and cried “oh woe is me!”
they claimed that they were always right
and swore they never meant to fight
and whined about their useless dick
of which no one really gives a shit
Now now Missy, you know better than to feed the trolls. Let them peril and wallow in this so called “Femanazi” world, and in their apathy of arrogance.
Can you explain to me how I’m a troll.
Are you saying male genital mutilation isn’t a human rights abuse and I have no right to be upset that my potential for sexual pleasure was taken from me?
You’ve just exemplified the lack of compassion all feminists have for men. Thank you for being honest.
Although your comments are despicable, at least you expose your true colours by belittling the problem of male genital mutilation.
Question: Why should I be against FGM if feminists like you trivialise male genital mutilation?
No one gives a shit about men in society. You’re a woman so all the men can’t wait to fap to your inane comments. Is this suicide project or the aye russo circlejerk project?
the circlejerk project sounds much more exciting than this boring place full of crazies and people who probably took a mallet to the head at one point in their life
Are you not getting enough attention or is the attention just not deep, dark and edgy enough for your existential view of the world? Why do you view yourself above others here? What makes you so great?
i’m a pretty histrionic person, it comes with being a woman :/ i’m better cuz i have puss-puss and not u
amen Koji, i just have poor discipline, gotta work on that, tryin’
Why do you exclusively use ad hominems instead of trying to tackle someone’s argument with logic and evidence?
It’s almost like you don’t have any hard facts to back up your beliefs.
psh duh, I absolutely hate men tots, I want to kill myself because I was conceived through my father’s sperm and gametes and that means I’m part man :'(((((( fml fuck lyfe
You should kill yourself. It would be very beneficial for earth and society as a whole.
well, all I would have to do is listen to you and your piss-poor personality for a few hours and I’d surely die, please continue
At least I have a personality instead of acting like a stroppy 15 year old who paints her nails, listens to Slayer and reads Nietzsche because “life is dark”
i beat my grandfather to death with my FEMEN bumper sticker bc he called me a little girl instead of a young womyn which is demeaning to wimin!!!111!

I reiterate. Where was I mean to people?
@SUYW
eh, no personality is far better than yours, trust me, pal.
Sorry, please turn your radio down. I can’t hear you over Fallout Boy’s “Thanks for the memories”
Go and sulk under your covers with your absinthe and Sartre.
Well I can’t speak for everyone else, but I already want to have SUYW’s babies, but I feel like I’d want to stab you in the throat and eat a slap-up steak dinner while your carotid artery spurted blood and made pretty patterns on the floor.
oh my god, Fall Out Boy is my favorite band ever, not even playin’. “Save Rock n’ Roll” is life tbh.
I’ll turn down my radio once you turn down your bad attitude, eat some Snickers or something
I knew it. You people are all the same.
I’m not into brown things that are full of peanuts. Trust you to take all this the wrong way.
@lawrence
um, i took karate in 4th grade, come at me brah
Karate is for weak Japanophiles and was proven to be obsolete several years ago. I suggest you upgrade your skillz.
So you have a pink belt in origami. I have a black belt in pub brawling.
You sound like Ronda Rousey proclaiming she can take out the top men in MMA but never being able to back up her words. Women, full of piss and vinegar.
Belts just mean you paid your “sensei” and attended regularly. Real sports don’t have belt. A boxer doesn’t get a belt.
@SUYW
guess i’ll have the fun all to myself listening to “Sugar, We’re Going Down Swinging” without you, sucks 4 u brah
I don’t listen to shitty music, you being a female with inferior tastes, I expect nothing less. I’ll be listening to Coldplay, Neil Young, Metallica. Real music.
um, you don’t know real music, real music was back in the day, none of this dubstep bullshit, sheepskin drums, rock clapping and stick beating all by the legendary ontawugu-5 was what real music was smh
I never mentioned dubstep, y’idiot. You’ve obviously misread my concept of real music. I think you should go and get torrenting some good stuff.
omg u should go torrent a better attitude
…..says the female **** trivialising men’s woes…
“I took karate in 4th grade”
That’s like saying I paid for a media studies degree and now I’m like totally clever, man.
haha what am I doing, I’m so bored. You guys are so weird
You’re being raped with logic and we’re going in raw.
Logic stings the ladies like acid.
If you’re being called weird, be happy. You’re likely being logical.
This is very entertaining. Thank you for livening up this place.
It’s about time you crybaby fuckers got a grip. We’re doing the Lord’s work.
Who knew, I learn so much about logic from your friendly neighborhood trolls. Thanks mate. I’m so wowed by your impressive deductive reasoning. Also, Coldplay is real music? I never knew that. I don’t need to go to school, all I need is a couple of trolls telling me how it is.
XOXO Gossip Girl
Are you calling me a troll? Reread the thread. Engage objectivity. Go.
I’m no troll. I’m a logic fountain. Coldplay is better than whatever shit you are listening to. Yeah, I said it.
Coldplay is talented and tuneful, ergo it’s hur uncool to these types.
Put down your weapons. Let’s spread love instead.
http://youtu.be/HAZSz2kBpIQ
No offense, but Coldplay’s music sounds like a watered down car commercial. It puts me to sleep.
This C4 fellow here has some sense, unlike others I could mention.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgZkm1xWPE
Seriously?
Why is it talented, sophisticated white people’s music gets such a bad rap nowadays? What do you like? ****** rap?
http://youtu.be/Uz1Jwyxd4tE
If you substitute “talented” with “bland”, and trade “sophisticated” for “forgettable”, then I would agree with your assessment of Coldplay.
They’re boring. I’ve heard better music while riding in an elevator. Listening to Coldplay is worse than being trapped in a dentist’s chair while having an unnecessary root canal procedure (without anasthesia)
So what’s your idea of good music? Waits to laugh.
Brava *claps*
(Lawrence, check moderation.)
Bad Religion, 80’s alt and indie rock. Old Blues.
I like a wide variety of different stuff.
Lol. this brightened up my day…
I’m sorry you’re incapable of recognizing good music when you hear it. It must be a terrible curse, having ears so sensitive you can only listen to soft, soothing, feminized melodies.
Have you read their lyrics?
I’m sorry you lack the ability to appreciate deep, insightful, thought provoking lyrics, soaring three part harmonies, and music that’s simultaneously aggressive and melodic.
Put on your slippers, sip some tea, and rock out in your easy chair while the gentle, limp sounds of Coldplay lull you to sleep.
Well, as long as you’re happy rocking out with your soccer mom besties & Grandma in the senior citizens home, I guess there’s nothing to worry about.
Yes. They’re so childish. The singer has a PhD, and the guitarist founded Epitaph records.
You don’t know much about them, do you.
@ShowusyerwillE
ha, only in spirit.
@Lawrence The soccer moms await you. Why are you still here? You’re on schedule to barbeque hotdogs for the kiddies today. Don’t let them down, man.
You said BR is childish. Most children do not earn a doctorate degree or create a record label.
Your ignorance (and lack of taste) is affecting your credibility. Do some research, lad.
@SUYW “They are a mediocre crap band who are vastly overrated.” = Coldplay, Yes. “I can’t
believe you can’t see this.”
Brother, you seem down. Can I get you an expresso? Turn on Lady Gaga, it might cheer you up. She knows what it’s like to be beautiful and misunderstood in an uncaring, cold world.
Just to chime in for a minute, Thanks for the massive entertainment on this thread! Good laughs, good music links, and a good view of the people on the site, lol
The trolls aren’t usually here, but they pop by now and again just to provide us with a healthy dose of drama.
I hold a romanticized image in my head that doesn’t take into account the rough life style or persecution. ;P
huh, I thought being on this site was an obvious sign of that…
Haha. It’s impossible for me to take a Coldplay fan seriously. If you believed in unicorns, leprechauns or mermaids I’d be more inclined to value your judgment. An affinity for Coldplay indicates poor judgment.
I’m terribly sorry.
You’re also racist? No surprise there. You grew up in a sheltered existence alongside the Loch Ness monster and never learned the ways of the world, I understand. It’s not your fault if you hold primitive, archaic views and a sour disposition. Come to America. You’ll be amazed at how accepting people are here. I think you just need to feel special, then you’ll be fine.
@SUYW & Lawrence
Here’s a song that might be more your style. http://youtu.be/IcrbM1l_BoI
@persa
what Americans have you been talking to?
‘accepting’? really?
In certain parts of the country people are more accepting of weirdos.
Plus, we got male strippers. @SUYW & Lawrence You boys are gay, right? Lots of gay nightclubs over here. Come and dance. You’re so uptight, you need to let loose. Let your inner Diva Goddess fly free. Just shake it, be crazy. (You only live once.)
Greg Graffin started Bad Religion when he was 15 years old. He’s been an active member of the band for over 30 years.
He attended university while in the band.
I only mention this to counter your assertion that they’re “childish”. You should be grateful that I’m taking the time to respond to you. I don’t usually engage myself in a battle of wits with somebody who is unarmed.
It’s ok. You can’t help it. I forgive you.
I don’t quite understand what has happened/is happening to this site…
I feel like I’m reading a twitter feud…
And I don’t have twitter
You asked about my tastes in music. I replied.
You seem angry for a Coldplay fan. I would imagine your kind to be more docile. Are you angry because you have penis issues?
That’s rough, man. Good luck with that.
Thread locked folks. This is not a productive or good thread, and has nothing to do with sharing your suicide story. Thanks.
