the truth is that everyone is miserable and people who claim they aren't are just faking so they can judge you and make you feel even worse.
Come on, what are you, 14? Not everyone is completely miserable. It seems like every single post you make is about how other people are either all completely immoral, or evil, or conspiring against you somehow. Maybe if you weren't constantly judging everyone around you, or being completely paranoid, you'd be able to make some real friends.
Culture's as shitty as it always was. There were probably kids in the 20s going "Man, the speakeasy scene is totally lame now".
If you want better culture, make better culture.

I don?t think it?s not only America or the time we?re living. Maybe even not the planet we?re living, who knows? The problem has always been here, seeing maybe more than others. Find your own way and make things better as much as you can. It may require shooting yourself, but hopefully not. Your problem is familiar to me, too, but that attitude won?t get you anywhere. My first post here, greetings from northern Europe and sorry about my bad english.

the perspective of it being shity is always here and there. IMO though, I see that things have always been balanced, only the extremes have grown. We can see where things have gotten real shity all while simultaneously an equally great thing is occuring. I just get angry that sometimes it seems as though someone keeps tipping the scales... chaos ensues (good/bad)... I guess enlightenment is rising above it all and taking it as it comes.

When nearly every post you make includes something about how you don't trust anyone, it's obviously more than some kind of joke.
You used to make posts about how all women were liars.
You've obviously got some serious issues with trust.
Not that you're going to listen to me at all, but you seriously need help. I'd have to say, out of everyone on these boards, you've got the most transparent neurosis, and it's obviously having dire effects on your social life, and your ability to be happy at all.

If I didn't want to read your posts I wouldn't. They're often interesting, sometimes the way they're intended, and sometimes because of the strange psychology. I have no desire to ignore you. If you think my armchair psychoanalysis of you is stupid and way off base, then YOU can ignore ME, obviously you didn't ask for my opinion.
I'm just saying, talking about how you distrust everyone doesn't really come across as a joke, and even if its meant tongue in cheek, there surely must be some kind of reason behind it if you talk about it all the time.
If you're a fraction as paranoid and miserable as you make yourself out to be, you really need help. When people question the validity of your fears or your distrust, you always seem ready to defend them, and not in a joking manner... but when someone says you might really need help, then it's all just a big joke.
I used to think you were really an asshole. Some of your posts about how you felt about women absolutely disgusted me, but now it really seems like you've got genuine psychological problems. You're obviously not a stupid guy, you're probably one of the more intelligent people on these boards, but you're not convincing me that it's all a big joke.
I don't doubt that you're a nice guy in real life, but that doesn't mean that you're not seriously neurotic and paranoid, to the point where your risking becoming untrustworthy.

I don't think that posts about the town conspiring against you, or how you think everyone is greedy and evil make you a bad boy, they make you seem frightened.
Maybe the post where you said that there was some kind of bounty on your virginity, and everyone was scrambling to take your money was a big joke, but you seemed pretty defensive in it.

SO..... how bout that shitty american culture, eh?

dude, if you really want to have this conversation with me you should take it to PMs, as you are getting a lot of things wrong and I'd rather not have to answer a bunch of pm's from people who have gotten the wrong impression from your misquotations.
why you feel the need to call me out on this in the middle of a 'friendly discussion' forum is beyond me. seriously, what is YOUR problem, dude? I don't believe I've ever confronted you in this way.

It ain't shitty, it's just culture.
I kind of addressed this topic in this thread:

Earlier in this thread you were making condescending remarks about people's advice and suggestions, I'm certianly not the one who strayed from "friendly conversation".
I doubt I got "a lot of things wrong" because I only mentioned one thing that was specific. If you're going to make a thread about how you hate life and culture, and you're going to make condescending remarks when people give you advice ("but keep on thinking you're enlightened there. thats a great attitude. see where that gets you."), then you should be ready to get some criticism about your way of thinking.
If you want to turn it around, and try and portray me as "obsessive" because my replies are longer that a couple sentances and I've actually read other things you've posted, have a ball.
All I've done is stated my opinion. If it really is all an act, then fine, having someone call you out on personality traits that you're trying to portray anyways will only help to develop the character, and since you're not actually miserable and paranoid, then you can sleep fine at night and go on living a happy life.
If it's not an act though, I'm just saying get help. You don't have to be as miserable as you make yourself out to be.
