Life is not cheap.

That has come into stark contrast for me these last few days.

urian · 12-22-2005, 01:46 PM

If life is so cheap and isnt at all precious..why are you still around? Seriously, you have to have some regard for it or you'd have offed yourself long ago.
I'm not going to sit here and try to convince you that life is precious. When I was your age I felt similarly but things happened very quickly to prove me wrong.
Its true that we live in a disposable society, though. Mom and dad get old, thrown them in the trash of a nursing home. Wife or husband(or BF or GF for that matter) get too bitchy, leave. Have sex and get preggers, have an abortion.
Just because society teaches that everything and everyone comes in a handy-dandy throw away container it doesnt make it so.
I honestly hope you never have a situation arise in your life that makes you see how precious life is.

As for me, I'll go on believing that every person is worth something and that everyone deserves some kind of a chance.
That's the nice thing about life..everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I had gone through a period of planning to kill myself because of the view I hold of the universe and life in general. Then I found that my built-in tendency to avoid inflicting pain on myself is stronger than my urge to rid myself of a life I don't really enjoy or see as worthwhile.

I know that emotions have a higher influence on human behavior than I feel comfortable with. I even accept that there are many things I do that are mostly dependent on emotions or drives. This is why I sometimes see myself as caught within a contradiction: I state my views on how emotions and the human viewpoint are irrelevant to the universe, yet my own emotions are the things that drive me to argue and debate.

I like to think that I can see things as they really are if I try hard enough, but I can never really escape the fact that everything I do is overlaid with the fog of emotion.

All humans are are groups of particles that obey the laws of the universe; just as stars do. Just as rocks do. I know in my head that nothing we do can ever make an impact on the universe, yet I still live, with my subconscious, irrational thought that maybe I can make a difference in something, if I just try hard enough.

I hate it that I am powerless to resist what is built into my behaviors. We humans have evolved to think that life is worth living, because natural selection has weeded out those that think otherwise: those, I would think, commit suicide or become destructive in other ways, reducing their evolutionary fitness. I am a result of this selection, and therefore, even though I should have enough reason to end it, I don't.

I would not have posted this, except for the fact that this is already the rant thread.

My thoughts exactly.
Now, on to another subject..me bitching.

Why is it that a multiBILLION dollar company that has spent hundreds of thousands on training, millions on equipment and some spare change for bad coffee NOT seem to turn in time for their workers in time for me to pay them so that they can have a nice holiday?

Empty_Purple_Stars · 12-22-2005, 04:15 PM

Well, Manimal and I just left my Bush Hating Doctor's office..

And I am OFFICIALLY a Ticking Fucking Time Bomb!

Merry Motherfucking Christmas!

People will start taking responsibilities for their actions when someone starts to make them. It is too easy to get away with crimes that should be punished. I just got diagnosed today, by a phyciatrist. I am legally insane and I happen to posess severe clinical depression. Oh how lovely, That does absolutely wonders on my outlook on life.

Ww, chill the hell out, I was just saying...I have heard of a lot of kids, yes, the age of 12 getting pregnant! I never said I agree with it, I think you shouldnt have sex till you at least 18, but hey, what the hell. I'm just saying, if they ARE gonna make it legal in some cases, those are the only cases it should be legal. Other than that, abortion is wrong.

It's amazing how other people can try forcing their own morality on people with the impression that their morality must be the right one. Everything can be justified in someone's eyes, even murder and genocide.

I'm pro-choice on the abortion issue not because I believe it should be used as a form of advanced contraception, but rather that it should be a choice left up to the person. I don't believe that any single person, sociopaths/psychopaths exempted, that could get an abortion with an entirely clear conscious and without a hint of guilt. However, given the circumstances surrounding them, they have chosen to go that path with what would have later been their child.

There are thousands of children in need of being adopted already who have not yet been. As soon as they are taken care of, then I'll be open to listening to the perspectives of others on this matter.

I fucking hate my damn room mate!!

Today he gets home from working a four hour shift and whines about it. He brings with him one of those Stoffer's Italian family TV dinners. I mean this thing is big. He eats it all!

He's fucking 5'8" and 300 lbs.

I was asleep on the couch when he got home. To wake me he drops a twelve pack of Dew on the floor right next to my head. I about hit him.

I am almost looking forward to moving next week.

Fucking fat ass!

Demonista_Ravenesque · 12-22-2005, 10:11 PM

Poor Tenet....I've only had a fat tub of shit sit next to me every geography lesson eaching Nachos in class but you have to put up with one everyday... Including weekends!

It's good that you're moving though

urian · 12-23-2005, 10:46 AM

I had two roommates like that...well..actually two roomates, their Girlfriends, their friends, one girlfriend's brother, and whomever else decided to crash at the house. At any one time there were at least 7 people in the house and it didnt matter when.
On top of that, they were all umm..bigger and sloppy. I'd spend 8 hours cleaning the house only to have them destroy it in less than a week. It was so bad that I hated bringing my kids over for my weekends.

Anyway, short story long, I can completely empathize and I'll give you the same advice I was given..Make sure you have plenty of room in a crawl space somewhere. Enough room to fit at least two bodies..

joyslayer · 12-23-2005, 12:15 PM

There is always the option of burning them out....

urian · 12-23-2005, 12:44 PM

Yeah but have you ever smelled burning fat?
It's like a huge tub of chitterlings

joyslayer · 12-23-2005, 02:22 PM

Smoke 'em out.

urian · 12-23-2005, 02:29 PM

smoked meat..mmmmm perfect for the holidays!

joyslayer · 12-23-2005, 02:31 PM

Hehehe, all we need now is the eggnog.

urian · 12-23-2005, 02:58 PM

hehehehe
All I can think of is:" Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..."

Demonista_Ravenesque · 12-23-2005, 06:28 PM

I'll miss tenet. I hope he comes back soon...But here's a bit of a bigger rant.

Thanks to the stupid food I ate last night, I had to postpone my fucking trip...

Come on! I don't want to be stuck in first class of Thai airlines, I want to be mountain climbing on Christmas day...goddamn.

Right now, I'm feeling really sick. My vision is blurred (spelling still perfect due to the fact I've learnt how to touch type) I have to like, puke every five minutes or so, My skin has gone really sickening yellow colour and I'm sweating alot.

It seems almost like a withdrawal but I doubt it, I blame the goodbye party.

Fuck food poisoning.

edible_eye · 12-23-2005, 06:45 PM

yup. that sounds like food poisoning, all right.

Demonista_Ravenesque · 12-23-2005, 06:51 PM

Another rant:

Sweat is not good for my freakin' hairdye.

arrrgghh....

Velvet Rain Drops · 12-23-2005, 09:21 PM

Ok this is my first rant, and its not that long so...
I'm so pised my brother pushed me on the ice and i broke my wrist. So i have to have a cast on four five weeks, and i still have to go christmas shoping.!

TheKorovaMilkbar · 12-24-2005, 01:10 AM

Sorry, but I just feel like getting this off my chest. I know there are many people who hate the holidays (this one specifically). I have only just recently become one of those. The only good thing left about it is what the holiday stands for in my religion. But even then, it just seems that there are those countless dumb masses of others who believe the same thing have just bastardized what it should stand for. This is part of the reason I swear up and down that I'm the only Catholic in MY religious views. Wow, I have my own religion. Cool.

Anyways, rant over.

bedlam babe · 12-24-2005, 02:01 PM
