Do we not respect other opinions here?

Changing the world is not my responsibility. It belongs to the people actually trying.

I've decided my role is to stand on the sidelines criticizing, without trying to make people happy.

That's all it is. It's an attempt to make oneself, or other people, feel better.

My philosophy is simple. Let people do what they want, so long as it doesn't physically hurt anyone else, or their property. Rules are an artificial facility to try and control the uncontrollable.

People will be people, and I find that since nobody can control the situation outright without more and more trouble arising, there's no point in authority.

Being mad at the world is easy. That's not really how I feel. I love conflict. What I hate about the world is that people want to control, to regulate, things that simply happen.

People don't get along, or fight, because the rules tell them to. They do it because it's a natural human quality. There will be friends, enemies, and conflict with or without someone to regulate it all.

I love the company of people. I love entertaining and being entertained, and challenging and being challenged. Which is why i'm so reactionary. It's the essence of the human condition.

Fluff, its a called a persecution complex (coupled with some seriously infuriating arrogance). The only way to shut it up is to just stop listening. Let's endeavour to do that, shall we?

Hmm... reminds me of my 18 yr old daughter who wants to be able to stay out as late as she wants, do whatever she wants, speak her mind to whomever she pleases...

... but doesn't want to have to work, do chores, get up to an alarm... and thinks I'm a walking talking ATM machine.

Yeah.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell her.....
