Gloom, despair, and agony on me.
Advertisements [?]
I sit here in front of a screen trying to find some true knowledge of the world.What I find is war, genocide, hatred, Famine, pestilence, and disease. Am I glutton for punishment or what?
What is it that requires me to take on the burdens and horrors of the world in some small way. I should start playing video games and watching spongebob instead of sitting in despair over some obscure phrase in the latest bill before congress. Maybe I would not be a nervous wreck.
Perhaps I should start watching Nascar or follow a sports team. Maybe I should turn off c-span and turn on ET. If I worked as hard at being uninformed as I do to stay informed I could be blissful in ignorance.
But something will not let me turn away from it no matter how horrible it gets. I want to see the body pile so that I cannot take it for granted. I want to know all about the tyrants so that I will know them when I see them. I want to see past the lies because I like to believe that I am nobody's fool.
I am a bleeding heart liberal. I cannot help it. The pain of the world is like a constant pressure on my skull. I have a hard time really enjoying myself because I feel guilty for it.
Is it possible to care too much? How do people manage to shut it out and have a happy life?
:whatever:
Just posted,should be a good one. :-)

These people are mental.

IIRC, the only ones attempting genocide these days are in the Sudan, or Muslim... The islamofascist creed demands genocide of us infidels...

Not really. War, genocide, hatred, Famine, pestilence, and disease has always been a part of the human condition and it most likely always will be. You thinking it is something new and unique makes you kind of too stupid to be commenting.
Try being a realist for a while instead of being an ideologists. You will soon understand the world and not be mired in the ignorance that makes you so miserable. There really is more things beautiful about the world than ugly things. You need to pay attention to those things too. That will require you too look at individuals instead of groups, so I don't know if you can handle it, but try.

Don't bother. You wouldn't understand them either.

If the conclusions you have arrived at are the product of you staying informed, I can't imagine what would happen to you if you decide to work at being ignorant. Your involuntary body functions may cease.

That's because misery is the only emotion that lets you know you are alive. Happiness is so foreign to you, it would kill you.

Being a liberal has nothing to do with "feeling" the pain of the world. Liberalism is about dishonesty. If you were an honest person you would admit that liberalism causes most of the suffering in the world.
Is it possible to care too much? How do people manage to shut it out and have a happy life?
No, it's not possible to "care too much". It is possible, inside your mentally ill mind, to fool yourself into believing your phonyass "caring" is what is creating your state of misery, which is really your euphoric state, and you wouldn't have it any other way.

definite sig line and bumper sticker material.

Well it's a good thing I'm a little oppressed white Christian woman...if I was a smart liberal man and knew what was REALLY going on in the world I might get depressed.

The question that has to be asked is, is all that self-flagellation helping anything? Does it feed a starving child or bring justice to the oppressed? Is it possible to be concerned for the welfare of others without hating yourself for not having those same problems?
This is the mindset of a DUmbass. The mere fact of being miserable is a noble attribute. You don't have to actually do anything as long as you "feel their pain". If we could just bring everyone down to the same level of mediocrity and misery, all would be right with the World.

Whiny little EmoCrat.
Why don't you write some bad poetry and then get naked and post it on youtube ? I'm sure you'll feel better afterward.

I could not think of how I wanted to word a response, but dand you summed up my thoughts to a tee.

No, you are just a plain old "Idiot." In the hands of Left-wing politicians, you are what is known as a "Useful idiot."

This stuff isn't "finding" you, you are looking for it moron, and if you search for it out there, you will find it :whatever:
If you get your head out of your ass, you might find things much less deprecating. There is more than gloom and doom out there :loser:

Awww, don't you go spoiling the incensed woodsmith's fine whine!! :bawl:
It's his only joy in life, to spread his misery unto others!!! :loser:

Here's a start, DUmmie, start off small. Try getting the Lions of Africa to stop fighting each other and killing for food. Tell'em veggies do their body good or some shit like that. Once you've accomplished that task, we'll talk.

What a load of pseudo-intellectual swill.

Isn't this the same DUmmie who's been making all those "white male privilege" lists? Maybe someone should tell him it's a little early in the year to start auditioning for the DUmmie of the year.
