The internet has desensitized me - General

[quote]Son, this is your father's watch, which he kept up his ass for five years; and then passed on to me... I have it right here. Granted, I had to keep it safe up my ass for two years, but that's a different story. I'm giving you this watch to keep safe now. [/quote] If someone told you that, wouldn't you cry?

I would laugh.

I would sniff it.

I look upon planet earth and say: What can I do to help these people? The answer is nothing. I as an individual can not help. I do not have a job, nor do I have an income. You haven't been desensitized, you have just realized what the world is, and accepted it.

i could stare at a picture of goatse for hours and it would have very little effect on me now.

I was expecting a thread about horse penises and shock images, not about human compassion and love. I mean, the Internet has enabled me to look at cancer of the penis without throwing up, but I'd still cry if my dad or uncle got hit by a truck.

[QUOTE=Waals Vander;20086664]i could stare at a picture of goatse for hours and it would have very little effect on me now.[/QUOTE] Same I stared at a meatspin for an unhealthy time once.

Wait.... the internet has other uses than desensitising people? o.O weird.

Internet made me a dick :v:

[QUOTE=Louis;20086855]Internet made me a dick :v:[/QUOTE]It just exposed the pre-existing condition.

[QUOTE=Redcow;20084098]It's true. Like when a girl says I love you, I just think that's pretty retarded because I know we're eventually going to break up anyway. And when my great grandma died a week ago, I wasn't balling like the rest of people even though I knew her my whole life. I mean I felt bad, but not like really bad. I still see pictures of haiti or whatever but it doesn't strike me, because it looks like every other poor country, just a bit more busted up. Edit: And to the people which I expect are coming to this thread. I get along fine with people. I'm not some faggot who sits around inside all day. I'm just saying that I don't get sad real easily, or guilt real easily, not that I'm unconnected from people.[/QUOTE] I feel the same way pretty much, it's just gaining intelligence IMO. I mean what's crying about your grandma or haiti going to do anyway?

FYI you are a sociopath.

I mean I felt bad, but not like really bad. [/QUOTE] Maybe you should practice a bit more. Those free throws aren't gonna sink themselves, you know.

[QUOTE=Lankist;20086995]FYI you are a sociopath.[/QUOTE] No, it's normal.

[QUOTE=he-did-it-->;20087070]No, it's normal.[/QUOTE] having no empathy is not normal.

Now that I think about it, it's probably just a phase. That I happen to be in as well.

[QUOTE=ProboardslolV2;20084179]Me neither. 3 years ago, my uncle died. And the world just fuckin' watched[/QUOTE] :laugh: well played.

No I just got depressed from all the fucked up shit on here [editline]09:06PM[/editline] Not "desensitized"

[QUOTE=Lankist;20087097]having no empathy is not normal.[/QUOTE] It just takes a lot for me to have that. Like if my parents got killed right now that'd be pretty terrible (at least for me).

I know what you mean. Some friends of mine were talking about that dad that killed his family and then committed suicide and how sad it was, but I couldn't stop making remarks about how the daughter's boyfriend was called Max Payne.

-snip- books please

[QUOTE=theguydude;20089187]No, that's not what he means, that's just plain fucked up.[/QUOTE] Wow get a sense of humour. I'm not saying "lol they all got murdered and, here's the punchline, the dad killed himself" I'm just saying "lol someone the family knows has the same name as a video game character." How is that offensive to anyone? Lighten up.

I'm so bad I was diagnosed as a psychopath. BITCH I HAVE NO EMOTIONS.

Why are you telling us this..

The internet has made me rage more, thanks to MW2, mostly IW

The internet isn't what has desensitized me. Experiences have. Sure the internet is a factor in it...but yah.

[QUOTE=Redcow;20084098]Like when a girl says I love you, I just think that's pretty retarded because I know we're eventually going to break up anyway.[/QUOTE] That's not the point, you want to look back and say "yeah, we broke up but we had some awesome times together," not "well I could have gone out with that girl but I didn't because..." Dying sucks if you don't have any good memories.

I just thought that was part of getting older. [editline]06:12PM[/editline] You see more things you react less it doesn't matter how it happens because it eventually does.
