I Should Actually Be Doing My Math Now.

But honestly, all those "LoveGivesMeHope" Groups make me want to puke.

Not just because of their flagrant disregard for the space key, but also because I'm a cynic.

For those who don't know, a cynic isn't the biggest fan of people. We're more like... anti-fans. To be blunt, I see you, my immediate assumption is that you're a scumbag. It's nothing personal, but really, it's just how I see the world. You can prove to me you're not, but when I see a dude asking for something, I assume it's for his own selfish ends. I'm an ass for assuming you're all asses, I know. But really, if we're talking about farces, can we stop joining those sexist facebook groups?

Which brings me back to my original point: those groups you're liking, the ones about a boy playing with a special needs kid, or the boy loving his girlfriend? Those make me sick, please stop.

Really, have you considered, cynicism aside, how obnoxious you're being? I have to see a dozen paragraphs that people are 'liking' each time I boot up that homepage when I should be doing my math. That's a dick move.

There's something worse, of course. [marvin voice: there always is.] There's a group now: "I'm awesome. I'm awesome. I'm awesome..." On and on. For about fifteen page-downs, it continues. I've made it my mission to stab whomever I see liking that shit, and I will do so with a rusty shank.

So in short: don't support those things. They're evil in likable form.

True fact, on all accounts.

But why would you love the fickle groups? D:

I haven't seen the "I'm awesome" gorup...? Oh well, by the sounds of it, I think I should be glad. I just like the funny pages. Oh, what's a "fickle group"?

Anthony Clarke said...

Those groups joined by gender A saying the opposite gender is fickle, and the ones joined by Gender B saying the same thing about A... both the things are stupid.

Not all the time. For instance: the choir vs. band trend. Both groups can't stand the existence of the other, but they share the same qualities. For example, the two provide a sense of unity and brotherhood (given that they are drawn together by their own respective instrument). A brotherhood that far transcends the love that bounds any/all sports teams because, put into musical terms, sports teams are only playing the same song with too many different instruments to relate to one another. That doesn't mean that they can't 'march' to the same beat, but their parts have nothing in common with each other.

It is this unity that is unique to music, and if Choir A and Band B were to go away, there would be a lot less music and a lot less unity.

I'm going to make probably the only disagreement I will ever have with Anthony online by saying "WE NEED THESE PEOPLE TO HATE EACH OTHER!" After all, they are united in their hatred for one another.

I hate fickle groups, but LoveGivesMeHope isn't that bad.. what's wrong with hearing stories of human kindness every once in a while?

Anthony Clarke said...

@Andrew
The thing is, I can only assume whatever those groups say about each other isn't meant to be taken seriously.

@Conor
Because it makes me sick. I don't know, I'm evil. I can't stand optimism.

conor said...

You're not COMPLETELY evil. Example: (and do forgive me for this, I don't mean it but it's to prove a point)

You're a faggot.

Of course I don't mean this in any way whatsoever, I hate the word as much as you do. However, that anger towards that word that you are feeling is due to compassion.

I rest my case.

Anthony Clarke said...

You're brilliant at debate, you know that?

Revised: I'm evil to those who bother me. This merely happens to be a majority.

Unknown said...

Oh wow. Such a cynic. Could that be your main philosophy?

I've never heard of the "I'm awesome, I'm awesome, I'm awesome..." mess but they should probably just stick to a one line site instead of spamming groups.
http://www.amiawesome.com/ is an example.
