>>11783Not trying to dictate anything! If you enjoy the world as it is then good luck! Buuut I also can't help thinking that maybe there's room for improvement.Just wondering: Are you going off on another tangent because you genuinely think I'm smirking at you right now, even after I explicitly pointed out that I'm typing on my computer? So you think I'd even notice if I had a smirk on? Come on! Plus, I'm not remotely holy anyway, so it wouldn't be very likely that I'd suddenly become smug. I certainly wasn't making that argument seriously. Who knows maybe the entire situation is absurd anyway.Oh wait, I see! So you didn't actually care whether I liked what you were saying, you just wanted to argue over likes/dislikes? Okay cool! It might actually be helpful to try pinning down what you're looking for here, 'cause I still don't quite
>>11785So you think I'm dictating what you can dislike, huh? You really need to read more carefully before responding. I was simply pointing out that liking or disliking certain aspects of society doesn't change anything, except possibly give you a sense of accomplishment. And no, acknowledging the complexity of issues never solves anything either, though I suppose it makes you feel
better.It feels weird talking to someone who assumes that the only way to address problems is to start yelling at people. I'm used to more constructive methods, personally.Hey, I'm
>>11782Nope, but thanks for playing doctor! You obviously haven't done research on stressors, anxiety triggers, and coping strategies, or else you'd know that your example doesn't apply.What's your definition of "noise pollution," btw? Even though I've talked about this a ton already, and I doubt you cared? Your example is misleading and untrue, and the fact that you bring it up is suspicious. You must be trying to distract from your own guilt. Yeah, that's it! A classic psychological defense mechanism!I'll let you decide for yourself whether my response is appropriate. So, uh, what is your definition of "noise pollution"?Why bother bringing up alcoholism, that's the biggest red herring yet! I assure you, the noise pollution I mentioned has absolutely zero relation to drinking. Again, you must be trying to deflect attention from your own wrongdoings. I suppose you can decide for yourself whether or not my
>>11786That's cute, but it's a bit late for that now, don't you think? We're past the point of no return. I'm sure you can see that too. There's no use in pretending otherwise.Thanks though! To clarify, though, I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking general attitudes. You've basically asked for it by bringing up alcoholism, which is a completely unrelated issue. If you're uncomfortable discussing the main points of contention, then fine! Silence is always welcome.
