TLI's Rant: Criticizing Manners

[TLI-Inferno]

Attitude/social nicity is overrated. Most of the time it's just a social tool to get what you want. I personaly just hate it then people attempt to small talk with me while not having any particular subject to talk about. Now ofc that makes me a loner of some sort, but heck I'm not regreting it.

Did you ever had such encounter then one person simply asks how ya doin'? try to actually say how you are doing expecially if you are having a tough time. Most likely that person who is asking will just look down to their shoes for a second, shrug and blable something like: "too bad.." and will go with their s... for the rest of the day. Thing is - they don't give a rats arse about how you are doing, yet pretend they do. So ask yourself, what's nicer, a guy who atleast acts honestly about his intentions or one who tries to make a better image of himself infront of you by pretending?

Thing is: you can't say who person actually is by jugding only by his attitude. Which most of the time is decieving.
Now I'm not implying that every person should be an arse. There is ethics, there is public places and so then ethic code is requires just so we do not cut our throats. But then it comes to personal relationship, personal space, personal time etc.., I'm not going to pretend to like someone if I don't. Nor I have to like someone. Expecially than most of the time that particular someone is bland, vain and sensual. Just bunch of conformists in huge quantities but no new qualities. This might be offensive most of the time, but that's how I see most of the people, unworthy of respect. I recognize their dignity, but that is all.

What I mean by saying bland and vain? Populist humanists or social activists like to point out the uniqness of people. Of diffrent people. Well, I don't see it. You can bam me with baseball bat as long as you want, you still won't make me see it. All I see is just diffrent reaction to exterior or interior stimuli. Take that away and they are all the same. That uniqness most people are reffering ends up as reflection of surrounding they are living in which manifests as reaction/diffrent actions. Which by themselves are just patters formed by previuos stimuli and reactions. Such people are predictable, broing, barely thinking for themselves and obviuosly not someone I want to talk with.

To be brutaly honest, my view on majority is kind of simple. There was a test with a lab rat which was allowed to push one of the two buttons once per day. One of which gave it food, other stimulated it's brain to give a rat orgasm. After some time rodent end up dead because of starvation since it only pushed the button which gave it bigger pleasure. Heh, after all, maybe it's good, that minority guids the world. Mistakes are common, but it's still better. Untill people will be consciuos enough about what they are going this is the best we can have.
A bit offtopic, but whatever.

That is indeed off-topic, but I'll reply anyway. Just don't turn it into an off-topic conversation that takes up the whole thread, long as it's just a few posts I can deal with a little off-topic in my thread.

Anyway, yeah in today's world it's pretty hard to see uniqueness in other people. Any sane person can easily be diagnosed with psychotic disorders for viewing the people of this world the way that they are. Most of the people conform to particular groups, no matter how stupid their groups get.

Take the hip hop culture, for instance. Everyone pretends to be a gangsta from a ghetto neighborhood. And for whatever reason all of these "gangstas" have smartphones and $300 shoes that their parents bought them. Yeah, very independent and they sure know the ghettos well. First thing that would happen if they walked in a real ghetto is that these kids would have their $300 shoes and smartphone stolen.

Although, I guess I could sort of thank the hip-hop culture, it might have a good effect on the world one day. Eventually, all of the dumbest people of the world who conform to be "ganstas" will either be in jail if they're real, or just homeless if they're fake. Either way, chances of them raising kids to be stupid like they are, are pretty slim.

Also -- for people who try to accuse me of being racist against black people just because I don't like the hip hop culture - there are wannabe gangstas of every color, if you assume I'm talking about black americans just because I mention gangstas, you're being racist yourself. Another thing: Don't accuse me of being racist for calling people "black". I don't say "African Americans when I'm talking about people who've been living here for hundreds of years, they're just as American as any white person who lives here; the only difference is skin color. When you talk about a white person who's been in a family that lived here for hundreds of years, do you call him a European American? People try to avoid being called a racist by stating the point of birth for people of skin colors other than white, instead of stating the person's skin color, but really that's just being racist, because terms like "African American, Asian American, and such, were originally coined to describe a person who has moved to the united states during their lifetime, and has a background in another country. If I speak to a person who clearly has a Nigerian accent, then yes that person could be referred to as an African American. The only difference between most people here is skin color. There is no cultural background in other countries if you were born and raised here in the United States. It doesn't matter what a person's skin color is; they're all Americans if they were born and raised here. Also, not all black people have ancestors from Africa, so that's yet another reason that calling all black people African Americans simply doesn't fit.

Bottom of the line: In today's world, most people do things that are actually racist in an attempt to show that they're not racist. And other stupid people gobble it up and believe the person isn't racist. Racism doesn't only apply to poor treatment. If you treat people of a certain race -better- even, just to insist you're not racist, you're actually being racist. The best way to get rid of racism is to not waste any time trying to prove you're not racist, and don't even bother thinking about whether or not you're racist. And people need to stop accusing everyone of being racist when they do something that isn't 100% perfect, to somebody who happens to be of another ethnicity. They could have simply made an honest mistake. Or, they could be treating the person poorly due to the fact that the person had done something poorly himself, and not because of any difference in skin color.

For example: In a fast-food restaurant, ever seen a black woman go up to the counter and start shouting and cursing at a cashier, and when the cashier eventually asks the woman to shut up, after repeatedly saying "calm down, please". Most of the time, such a cashier would instantly be called "racist" just for telling a black woman to shut up, regardless of the fact that in such a situation, anybody would tell the woman to shut up, regardless of either person's skin color.

I should probably turn this into another Rant thread, though. In fact, I think I will.
