[QUOTE=Lankist;16149337]Yes I do.
Let's assume I'm as unstable and borderline suicidal as you presume. You do realize that if you intentionally drive me to act on those impulses you can be brought up on indirect homicide charges, right?[/QUOTE]
Who? Name one person you've met who you can honestly say you've trusted.
I'm not telling you to kill yourself. I'm advising you to find someone you can trust, or at the very least an outlet. Cause I really do think all people are equal. And I don't think anyone is inherently or even intentionally as hard assed as you are.
[QUOTE=Mr. Mcguffin;16149341]But you don't. You don't see other people as equals, which is obvious seeing as how that's never what you talk about. All you do is use that idea as another way to belittle others.[/QUOTE]
I'm very serious when I tell you that if and when you drive my unstable mind to suicidal thoughts I have family who will bring you up on criminal charges.

it is a part of my living will that my remaining family fucks with anyone who pissed me off that much

See a therapist.

Like?[/QUOTE]
Like anything? There's too many variables to consider.
How about someone born into a poor family that can't afford to send them to school? They might have to start working young and might not come across any good career opportunities because they don't have any education to show for and have to help support their family.

My family couldn't afford to send me to school and I started working at 15.
Those were under two different families but still.
[QUOTE=Lankist;16149361]Since when does "equal" equate to "look down upon?" I expect the same sort of effort out of others that I do out of myself. That isn't looking down at all, that's looking across.
Yes, but I didn't give you psychological advice. That would not be my place as a layman.
[editline]12:46AM[/editline]
I'm not a perfect individual. You seem to have a great many misconceptions about my philosophical definition of humanity. I consider myself a particularly unremarkable individual, hence I expect the same sort of capabilities from everyone else.[/QUOTE]
Well maybe if you cut yourself some slack you wouldn't be so hateful all the time. You really have accomplished something, it's not every day someone works their way up from the gutter. That's not an unremarkable thing you've done.

I'm getting the gun. Stop trying to make me do this. I'm recording your posts for evidence.

Oh yes gotta be careful about that and KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF KILL YOURSELF. I AGREE WITH THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD, LISTEN TO THEM. DEATH IS THE ONLY ESCAPE. REAP YOUR REWARD IN THE MOST DEFINITELY REAL VALHALLA AND GO ON A RAMPAGE WITH A SWORD IN A SUBWAY TRAIN AND THEN ALLOW THE VALKYRIES ACCESS TO YOUR IMMORTAL WARRIOR SOUL BY CHARGING AT A POLICE OFFICER WITH YOUR BLADE
no one cares about our possible culpability as potential indirect homicide suspects because you know as well as I that that is not going to happen, and if it does, criminal investigators can tell the difference between a debate about whatever the hell this thread was supposed to be about and unlicensed psychological analysis

No, I trust Jesus Ramirez. He was my roommate a few years ago.

Okay. So? Because you're doing okay (I presume) that means anyone can?
Furthermore, by your logic if you're such a hard worker shouldn't you be the head of a major corporation by now or something?

How many times do I have to reiterate: "I consider myself an especially unremarkable individual."
Even assuming I were trying to be the head of a corporation (despite, you know, that being the opposite of the field I am in,) I'm 27. I never said it doesn't take a lot of time.
[QUOTE=Lankist;16149474]
Uh, yes.[/quote]
Why? You're completely ignoring the fact that the world is not built equally and not everyone comes across the exact same opportunities as you, even considering that they have the ability to perform them (whatever they may be).
[quote]How many times do I have to reiterate: "I consider myself an especially unremarkable individual."[/quote]
Yeah, yeah, okay, I get it, you're a narcissist. That doesn't really help your point.

Or maybe you're not because you weren't born into the correct set of circumstances?
I can say without even knowing what you do that other people your age somewhere have better jobs than you do. Does that mean they're better people than you? Oh, but wait. I thought you considered everyone equal. Which is kind of contradictory to your opinion of yourself anyway.

Holy fuck what is going on here? I've been spending the past hour and a half reading up on this thread and Lankist, you seriously have lost it.
You're some 27 year old parading around with the maturity of a 5 year old: "If you make me mad I'm going to hold my breath and kill myself!" That kind of conversation. Not only have you completely derailed an actually decent debate, you've proven yourself to be an incompassionate person that simply likes to boast their rise out of poverty, and yet accuses a 15 year old of not living ENOUGH in poverty because they have $20/mo internet.
You're pushing yourself into a position where we're less inclined to engage in a debate and more pressured to report your posts as trolling so you can be banned, and then hopefully get some fresh air and find someone to trust.
[QUOTE=Lankist;16149546]Who mentioned opportunity? I'm talking capability. I didn't have fuck all for opportunity.[/quote]
But you admit that opportunity is something that exists, in which case not everyone has the capability to operate equally.

Um. Yes? That statement wasn't based solely upon that remark, your posts always contain an aura of self-righteousness about them.

I'm not telling you what you are and aren't capable of, I'm telling you that not everyone is able to seize the same opportunity as one another.
[QUOTE=Lankist;16149561]Are their people better than me socially and financially? Yes.
Are there people who are better than me at being human beings? No.[/QUOTE]
Okay, but why are they better than you from a financial standpoint? If you're saying it's not because they're better than you as a person, then it has to be circumstantial.

What, do you disagree? Would you describe yourself as a calm and satisfied person?
[QUOTE=gnome;16149608]But you admit that opportunity is something that exists, in which case not everyone has the capability to operate equally.[/quote]
And given opportunity is something I did not have, in my mind it is a complete non issue.
[quote]Um. Yes? That statement wasn't based solely upon that remark, your posts always contain an aura of self-righteousness about them.[/quote]
What you infer is your problem. Why is it when I say "I'm not special" your only response is "you're self absorbed?"
[quote]I'm not telling you what you are and aren't capable of, I'm telling you that not everyone is able to seize the same opportunity as one another.[/quote]
Opportunity has nothing to do with it. If you have an opportunity handed to you, great for you. If you don't, stop bitching and moaning and forge your own opportunity.
[quote]Okay, but why are they better than you from a financial standpoint? If you're saying it's not because they're better than you as a person, then it has to be circumstantial.[/QUOTE]
Because they are less lazy than I am and have had more time to establish themselves.
