People care too much about everything

Yapakanichi · 02-22-2018, 03:29 PM

Just stop. Please. I'm tired of having to deal with drama and bullshit in my daily life. Honestly. Who gives a flying fuck.

This is an extremely unpopular opinion, but it needs to be said. Stop worrying about things you cannot control. Just try to live your life and watch after those closest to you.

I mean really come on people. We worry about everything around us that we can't do a damn thing about. Just fucking stop. Unfortunately my job requires I use a computer.

I used to get online when I go home, but now, fuck it's filled with shit and the tv is shit. Everything is shit. So I go outside and do yard work. I try to be nice to people that deserve it and ignore the assholes.

But fuck who the fuck cares what the president does. Honestly. I'd love to know the personal impacts (if you don't work in politics). Hell I've heard this shit for years. First it was Bush, then it was Obama, now it's Trump.

Just stfu. The world is horrible and the few that try to do good don't get the recognition they deserve. They know that. If they don't, then they're doing it for the wrong reasons.

I miss cartoons.....end rant.

So, don't go on social media or turn on the news. It's the world we live in.

El Conquistador · 02-22-2018, 04:03 PM

Made me think of this Monty Python skit

Graham Chapman: I think all righthtinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

All: Yes, yes...

Graham Chapman: I'm certainly not! And I'm sick and tired of being told that I am.

Not Sure?: Mrs. Havoc-Jones.

Mrs. Havoc-Jones: Well, I meet a lot of people and I'm convinced that the vast majority of wrongthinking people are right.

Not Sure?: There seems like a consensus there. Could we have the next question, please?

Woman: I would like to ask the team what changes they would make if they were Hitler?

Graham Chapman: Well, speaking personally, I would annex the Sudetenland.

Not Sure?: Norman?

Norman: I think I'd pay some Dutchmen to set fire to Lord Snowdon.

6 f-bombs, well done sir

1MOREMOD · 02-22-2018, 04:11 PM

Is this like protests about not protesting?

RickFLM4 · 02-22-2018, 04:59 PM

More like protesting protests. I think.

I think he is protesting those that protest against protesting.

Hmmm. I read it differently...

Edit: It could be both - protesting protests AND protesting those that protest protests. Of course that would be a circular reference.

It has to do with how many f-bombs were dropped.

thetastelingers · 02-22-2018, 05:15 PM

I couldn't care less about most things.

My wife brings things up to me and asks my opinion. I tell her I don't care, because it doesn't affect me directly.

I'm with you.

Gangplank · 02-22-2018, 05:16 PM

Turn off social media & kill your television. You will be amazed the difference it makes in your life...

tuco44 · 02-22-2018, 05:44 PM

If you don't care, why start a useless thread to say that?
This entire "off topic" area is useless................
A huge waste of time.

allinon72 · 02-22-2018, 05:50 PM

People care about things they are told to care about. This involves emotional responses to insignificant things and no response at all to things that actually matter. Don't think this is by accident...people have no idea how moldable and obedient they are.

cxp213 · 02-22-2018, 05:53 PM

You care enough to create a thread about whatever it is you're complaining about instead of just ignoring it, though..

For real, though, I'm with you. I don't really give 2 shits about the "information" we're constantly exposed and bombarded by.

I agree. Or do I?

Maynard · 02-22-2018, 06:17 PM

A desperate cry from someone who wants and needs to get attention for their own histrionics - resentful of all the attention others get for their whining, but knows down deep how totally lame it sounds to whine. Face it dude, you are a secret snowflake.

Yes early my first point. If you don't care then this thread wouldn't be created.
