"and after all this, where do you stand? what are you running for? after you've made your money - after you've reached the top... what then? and after all, who's judging all of us? why do we allow competition to corrode our inner self? why must everyone go their own way? why must we break and forget all the bonds that we formed with so much love? why must we stuff our happiest moments way below inside our mind, from where they cannot affect our hard and crude lining that we've grown on ourselves, but which still move our hearts when we try to remember those memories... why cant we be like what we were when we were small, like children, all the way? isn't this all an inevitable outcome of our 'prolific' indulgences? we ourselves have destroyed human relations, and have spruced up an evil world, where everyone is behind a mask, where everyone is just going about their drone routine - with no purpose or consequence whatsoever, ... and we call this a society. i wish i were a child again..."

I feel it all the time; you look at teenagers, people on the net even, - everyone is fighting / cribbing about something, always. Don't they realise, that Life, being so short, can be lived with perpetual happiness and fun, no matter what situation you are in. People just allow trivial issues to ruin themselves.

People are pampered and are continually told that they are "worth it" and have a right to everything. They don't. Conflict occurs when people persue this "right".

I think part of this issue has to do with the fact that we are raised to be problem solvers. That mindset causes people to focus on the negative side in order to make correct. I wish it wasn't like that. That is what fear does in my view.

I think the answer would be the fact that most people cant accept anyone else's opinion nowadays. I was watching a video a few days ago on YouTube about the PS3 and as I expected an argument broke out between the 360 and PS3 fan boys, and they were taking everything so personal as if someone just came and pissed on their kids on Christmas day.

I could not for the life of me understand why they could not except that some people like to play a 360 and some prefer a PS3.

Its depressing to see how petty some people can be when their opinions are opposed.

Man, that is sad. I'm actually struggling to think of something more pathetic than that. I can't. You win.

Is there any hope for the human race?

pr0digy... wow. That is just pathetic, as koshatnik said. Everyone knows the Wii is far superior and anyone who plays PS3 or 360 is an idiot! (joking)

Seriously, if people would just live and let live, and not feel like they're entitled to everything, the world would be a better place.

I own a Wii as well as PS3 It owns

But I agree, it is very pathetic the fact people set out to find videos of stuff they don't like on YouTube and then insist on expressing their opinions in such a childish manor.

IMO, it has become a necessity for most people to argue with everyone and prove that your opinion is superior, and convince them to like your opinion.

I had a long rant here but I decided to chop it down.

What I wanted to say is we should reserve the word tough. Being a scrapper, or making a lot of noise is better defined by the term "spaz" in my opinion.

Tough is opting to be a social minority, like an environmentalist or vegetarian.

Now, being both of those gives me a bit of a bias, but hey, if I didn't think I was tough I'd be pretty upset with myself.

What I dont understand about fanboys of any persuasion is, why does there have to be one thing to the exlusion of all else? This I suppose is the problem with human beings fullstop. I think it is starkly illustrated with fanboyism.

I dont think most people know they are even doing it, I know one person who is a Mac fan boy, if you had one thing in Windows e.g. PSX emulation, and then the same thing in OSX, he would say how crap the Windows one is and how great the OSX one is, purely because it is on OSX and not Windows.
