There's a pretty broad range between empathizing with something you consider vile and would be ashamed of being a part of, and coming into the thread on your white horse to enlighten us all on how virtuous you are in comparison. Maybe there's a fine line between the posts that point out "this is fucked up" by people that like to state the obvious and "this is fucked up and I'm a better person" by people that like to state the obvious as a means to make themselves feel better. It's not at all clever or original to castigate some shady fuck for the antics even he admits make him a shady fuck. In fact, it's pretty boring and far less entertaining.
Please save your indignance and hyperbole and acting like anyone is saying the only right response is to empathize or that everyone is, ahem, jelly. Please just consider that your being a judgy prick and posting that you're above this all is perhaps just not as interesting or entertaining as the antics of the very person you're quick to judge to prop yourself up.
Until your self-serving, judgmental castigations are as interesting as the debauchery in question, I'm personally going to see you as the outlier derailing this thread from the entertainment it has provided for a very long time now.
Same way I'd tell Johnny to fuck off if, as a non-gamer, he went into some game thread and started preaching about how he'd never waste his time with such idle matters and would be embarrassed if his kids found out he was in a raid guild.
Godwin's law on these forums seems to be when a group of people have gained enough collective momentum they think the thread is more interesting posting about how they're so far above the topic at hand and high-fiving each other for infallible on the internet. Congrats, fuckers, you're on your way to ruining yet another thread thinking you're more interesting than the fucking train wreck in question.
I'm feeling a little sad, now. Better go find a Mist thread and post how its life is obviously way more depressing than mine. That'll perk me up and really impress the boys!
Virtuous? Because I don't fuck crackwhores? It goes without saying that 99% of this board are better people than J49, my statement was along the lines of, "I'm trying to empathize but I just can't". If you're too dense to see it then I really don't care. At least you have Tanoomba agreeing with you. That should tell you all you need to know.Hurt feelings.
LOL I told my wife all about this thread and made sure she understands that next time I'm in Vegas blasting some $500/hr hooker, at least I'm not bringing back the AIDS! Aren't I a virtuous person?!Heh, you high and mighty types go about this thread the wrong way. I make sure my wife has read most of it so anything I do seems saintly.
Hi honey!
I was going to start insulting you, but then.... well. I mean, you put "hurt feelings" as my quote. Which. Was. Fucking. Awesome! Very bold move, but it really paid off big!Virtuous? Because I don't fuck crackwhores? It goes without saying that 99% of this board are better people than J49, my statement was along the lines of, "I'm trying to empathize but I just can't". If you're too dense to see it then I really don't care. At least you have Tanoomba agreeing with you. That should tell you all you need to know.
I'm not trying to entertain you, nor do I give a fuck if you think I'm being self-serving, put me on ignore and move the fuck on.
I mean, $500 an hour hookers in Vegas that you blast!!! Told your wife!!! "The" AIDS!!!! TOTALLY LOL MAN TOTALLY LOL!!!LOL I told my wife all about this thread and made sure she understands that next time I'm in Vegas blasting some $500/hr hooker, at least I'm not bringing back the AIDS! Aren't I a virtuous person?!
Didn't seem to completely be how I would describe this:If I also look down on murderers and wonder out loud, "how could anyone kill their family?" does that make me high and mightier?
I guess it's the difference between "how could someone cheat on their wife with smack whores?" and "I can't imagine the shame.... so far beyond.... I can't imagine how ashamed... it's fucking vile..."I can't imagine the shame I would feel explaining this situation to my two boys. This goes so far beyond the "your dad's not perfect" conversation. Hell, I can't imagine how ashamed I would be to find out my dad had done 10% of what I've read here. This shits entertaining but real talk: it's fucking vile.
Not sure if I should respond seriously or not. But let's try seriously.Popsicle seems to rate about an 11 on the butthurt meter over someone insulting his hero. Maybe you should write a post about it in the rustled jimmies thread. After all, your life experiences can't measure up to Johnny's god like escapades so you should stop polluting this thread as well.
Johnny is going to ruin his life with or without us. As always, these types of threads come down to whether the person keeps sharing. You aren't going to save him by informing him his deeds are immoral, you're only going to run him off. I prefer to keep fostering an environment where people are willing to share their train wreck lives because I find that more entertaining and interesting than a thread full of disapproving assholes patting each other on the back until the thread dies (and then of course complain the forums are boring when there's fewer and fewer threads for them to be disapproving assholes in).
Fucking A.Basically, when more defense is given to making fun of ugly tits, instead of encouraging more tits, you know a thread and perhaps even a forum is dead.
Because we all know this ends with J49 and his wife dead and thats not funny to bet on.$50 bucks on this @ 10:1 odds plz
Seriously, how do we not have a fucking pool on how / when this really ends?
