They want imput so you left have have the choice to say something, and Only one third actually have any say in the matter!

Well, sir, I presume you are 'people' too. That is, you do not exist outside humanity --- no man is an island, and all that sort of stuff. Based on my life experience[s], I note that the natural condition of humanity is to hate others. Love is fleeting --- but, hate lasts forever. That's ALL I am saying...

Do you honestly feel, on the whole, that you love people more than you hate them? Can you tell me, for instance, ten people that you like out of the six billion or so people on Earth right now?

Man, what a cynic! Ten people I like... My wife, 3 sons, mother, brother, in-laws (yes, really), and the list goes on...

Most folks I don't have a strong feeling about either way. And I certainly like -- and love -- far more folks than I dislike -- or hate. And I certainly have mixed feelings about a lot of folks, too. I like some things about them, dislike others. There's good and bad in all of us.

And I think Zacrifice was simply expressing momentary frustration, not real HATE.

Yes, I am a cynic, but at least I'm truthful. [list=A][*]I'm a lonely thinker stuck in a world filled with semi-literate morons.
[*]I'm overworked and underpaid.
[*]I've discovered that society doesn't reward people like me.
[*]People who do get the rewards tend to be jerks.
[*]I cringe when I hear people talk about "team players."
[*]Politically correct zealots make me laugh.
[*]I'm sick of hearing that everything I eat, think or do causes heart disease.
[*]I find myself wishing I lived in a different era, like the Neolithic Period.
[*]I wish I could find some decent curmudgeons who feel the way I do.[/list=A]Here we have a self-avowed "Webmaster" that "hates" people; the topic of this thread. Why does he "hate" them?

Does that make any sense to you? If so, please explain THAT statement to me. Sounds like a hater to me...

**Zacrifice** · 03-18-2003, 08:03 PM

Thank you techlighthouse you summed it up nicely

Well, Umm well what too say

Yes I sometimes hate people, I hate they way they are, they always complain, they never listen, But I love them all to death I could never live without people, I love going out with people, I love having conversations with people, Without people I would kill my self because I would have no one to interact with.

Yes people are annoying on occasions we all know that but I don't actually HATE people just some of the things that make people but there again I too have them things!

semi-literate morons Don't put me in that group sweet pea I am not semi-literate

I've discovered that society doesn't reward people like me. No i wouldn't "reward" you either, your attitude sucks, you seem like you expect to get something without working for it and yet you claim you work for it so there in lies your problem, What are you doing wrong thats not getting you noticed (Or maybe you are getting noticed but only because of your bad attitude)

People who do get the rewards tend to be jerks. I get rewards and I don't believe i'm a jerk, I try to be kind to everyone, I look out for people who need someone to look out for them, I try to be a good person, and I would give someone who needed it the shirt of my back

I cringe when I hear people talk about "team players." Ummm well, why do you cringe? don't like working with people? (Another reason why no promotoins or anytthing else?)

Politically correct zealots make me laugh I will agree with you there, they are funny ****s!

Let me correct my self

They want imput so you left have have the choice to say something, and Only one third actually have any say in the matter!

They want imput so you let them have imput, and Only one third actually comment and bring ideas forward!

**Joshua Clinard** · 03-18-2003, 08:18 PM

Zacrifice, I think you have a way of saying things that makes people think you are saying something you really aren't. I have noticed that in a few other threads as well, but I won't point them out in this thread. Maybe if you get someone else to read your statements before you post them, you might not have as much trouble. I'm not trying to be critical here. You probably have good intentions, but it's clear that it would benefit you to work on your communication skills.

Or use better grammer, and use spellcheck!

**lvzardoz** · 03-18-2003, 08:50 PM

Zacrifice,

I'm glad someone called you on your deplorable attitude. I'll give a more concrete example.

Here is what you posted when I first returned to JaguarPC and asked for a little Java assistance. You were apparently ticked off because I happened to post a similar inquiry in two forums because JAG doesn't have one specifically aimed at my inquiry:

People like you are annoying and a waste of space, you degrade the general humanity!

and yes we will see if its in one forum.. we aren't ignorent and we all like to help those who need it. NOT those that demand it!

**Zacrifice** · 03-18-2003, 09:40 PM

Yes, its annoying when people post the same thread into more then one forum, Whats your point?

**lvzardoz** · 03-18-2003, 09:50 PM

If you look at the way you say things, my point should be obvious. If not, there's little hope anyway.

**lookout** · 03-18-2003, 11:36 PM

Agreed that duplicate posts are irritating time wasters, and besides that, are against forum rules. But was that flame really necessary on your part, Zac? Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes for very legitimate reasons. Let the mods handle it next time. Lucky stiffs, getting to do all the nasty stuff!

BTW, I can't believe what a big deal has been made out of such an obvious vent of temporary frustration (meaning Zac's initial post). So serious a response! I don't think you'd be human if you didn't get thoroughly disgusted with your fellow man at least once in a while.

I like to bear in mind when reading and responding to anything here that posts often sound much worse than actually meant. Part of that is due to their brief nature and the lack of facial expression, body language, and audio cues that go with normal verbal communication. Another part is because many posters come to the forums after finding themselves stuck in some kind of frustrating Computer Hell. The anonymity of the forums isn't likely to bring out someone's best behavior either. I think it's best to cut the poster some slack, allowing for user frustration and the imperfect nature of written communication.

**Zacrifice** · 03-18-2003, 11:51 PM

Yep Yep Yep I could have gone about it in a better way, I also should have, I wasn't in the best of moods and seeing the same post over many forums was extreamly annoying.

Life goes on
