What Is Wrong With People These Days?, seriously WTF!?@!?!?#!@ Options

[Quake]

Well look, i personally am fed up with peoples anti social behaviour. First of all, What's with people not talking, i know lots of people who consider themselves sane and normal yet they don't talk to anyone and avoid talking a lot of the time... Well come on people... that's actually quite bad for you mentally, Sheltering yourself from people like that.

number two is the obsessive types, Now i'm so fed up with them, i cant be bothered with them anymore. Obsessive people *especially ones obsessed over such stupid things, or better yet ones who are obsessed with things other people like just because they like them (IMG:http://www.nartherael.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) ;*

i mean look i don't have many problems with people.... but i'm getting to the stage where i want to kick all your asses for being such immature people.

And lets not forget, the people who fob me and others off with piss poor excuses like "i don't want to try that because i don't try anything" or "i cant be bothered posting on your forum because i have no idea what to post because i'm stupid and cant think" ooh and the best one "i'll do that tomorrow" well you know what's funny about that one, They don't do it tomorrow... Why not just say "piss off i hate you" or something it's a lot easier.

etc etc etc.

i'm sure a lot of you have the same problems quite often, Why not shed some light on your problems with people?

Speaking of people in-general: People are more and more selfish and self-centred these days. They are taught from an early age to care only about themselves.

People also seem to be less friendly and social. While there is an increased use of mobile phones and instant messaging, social life sure isn't what it used to be. Everyone can just sit at home and chat on MSN/AOL or talk on the phone. And you can do all the shopping they want and have it delivered to your door.

Maybe the lack of social networking has to do with workplaces as well. People in-general (note: I have no evidence to support this) are doing more work to earn the same amount of money, so there is more time needed to do tasks than meet face-to-face with people.

There's also the media. The push to see and buy everything there is possible to buy - some people have nothing better to do (or perhaps a lack in free time), so they turn to TV, internet, magazines, etc. All things are imagined for us, so people, instead of imagining their own ideas, turn to whatever is thrown in front of them - it's just easier to do.

that brings me to my other point, Why cant people be original, or at least try to be original? i can think of one person in particular who thinks they're original, but they have no originality at all they just copy other peoples ideas and alter them slightly so they can call them their own. So why does this happen? how can we as people allow this to happen?

Storymakers are running out of fresh ideas for fiction. If you can think of absolutely anything, then chances are, there is already a fictional story based on it. It's just so difficult nowadays; People tend to take the easy way out and choose something already popular and make a remake or sequel, or random things like "Snakes on a Plane".

But just because people are running out of ideas for stories and characters, doesn't mean that you still can't make something original. Yes, that does sort of contradict my previous paragraph, but in other words, what I mean to say is that the impossible should be possible.

But yeah, back to another point I had, everyone is just doing whatever is easy or convenient. We drive cars instead of walk, we ride elevators instead of stairs (well Dane, I know you prefer walking and climbing as opposed to mechanical transportation)... People in the past would make up their own entertainment, their own toys, and games to amuse themselves.

And now, as I've said before, it's all there for us. People probably aren't thinking as much for themselves these days (and even less so for others), because everything is given to us, and leaves us with little chance to think up new things.

well yes it is hard to write original things, But it doesn't mean cheapskates have to just down right copy things and change them. or remake them. That's just pitiful and slack, Make something new for goodness sake.

and yes many would say it's alright to change them and put them into your own style, but people like dan have complained about such things before, Like [wiki]bleedman[/wiki]

so really whats the difference.

and about people being slack... too slack, yes this is the case, and it also pisses me off.

My 15-year-old is disinclined to work for her GCSEs, saying her time is better spent preening herself in preparation for assignations with her delightful, diligent, privately educated, moneyed boyfriend. She insists the money spent on nail-painting, hair-colouring and the like is an investment and will be more than repaid when he marries her. Is she deluding herself?

　　Dear Curious Mother,

　　Surprising as this may seem in the 21st century, your daughter's strategy is not unusual. Evidence on speed-dating gathered by the economists Michèle Belot and Marco Francesconi shows that women are attracted by rich men, while men focus more on a woman's physical appearance. Lena Edlund, another economist,has found that in the areas of her native Sweden where the wealthiest men live, women of prime marriageable age are over-represented。
flyff penya,
　　However, your daughter is only 15; for Edlund, “prime marriageable age” is 25-44. Your daughter is either going to have to get her hooks into this chap unusually early, or she is going to have to keep him on the boil for another decade – a lot of nail-painting。

　　Not only is she concentrating her investments into a single asset by abandoning her education, but she may even be making her main goal harder to achieve. Belot and Francesconi discovered that a strong social trend towards “assortative mating” means that although educated, high-achieving men are not interested in marrying a rich woman, they do like educated high-achieving women, rather than shallow girls with shiny nails。

　　Your daughter should learn to work hard and look good at the same time. Not only will it advance her immediate goals, it will also – sadly – stand her in good stead for the rest of her life。

Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.
　　Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.
　　Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 year5s to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.
　　Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap.
archlord power leveling,
　　Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.”
　　The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.

On the Curious Mother,
Wow, I can't believe a 15yr old being like that, unfortunately though if she has enough brains to snatch a rich man, I wouldn't know if she would end up happy since many women go for rich men including those who are already married, thus enchancing multiple times that he would be likely to cheat on her and most likely bore of her company and spend hardly any time with her.

So is it really what she wants?

I know it's something I wouldn't want. Hell I would love to be a stay at home mum looking after my kids when I marry or just have a casual job and leave most of the money earning to my husband but I would like one who's comfortable and will always be there for our family rather than feel like he has to dish out the money and think that's a form of love when it's not. It can't even be considered as a cheap substitute.

The thing is, you always have to try and find the balance in life.

People have always been either really complex or really simple minded so that's why in history only a few a named since the rest are simple minded followers.

So in a world that is dominated by followers, how do we separate ourselves to be individuals?
For the most part it is very difficult, people naturally try and sink you to their level for they are fearful of what they do not know and jealous of those that seem to be better than them.
Realising that, you can look at history and find all the people that at one time they were labelled as insane or traitorous for having another view on things than the rest of the society, and now it's been proven that they were right. Lots of them died for their beliefs but now live forever in our textbooks and in history.
Why have to die for it, though? Humanity should learn to accept the various possibilities rather than sit comfortably on just one, and snarl at all who wish to see if there's a different method...

Majority tends to rule but it's the minority who are the ones who see thru untainted eyes.

Values of the old have been thrown aside for the sake of instant gratification and pleasure. Where's the sense of honor in who you are? Where's the sense of loyalty to a friend or family? Where's the sense of selfishness? All buried under the stigma of being old fashioned and boring.
It's all become commercial and materialistic, even sex and our image of ourselves.
The world measures not by the worth of the person, but by what they have.

Is this really what we want our future to be like? To go back to the dark ages? As technology advances our culture takes 3 steps backwards.
