Your evil feelings you can't help

    I do not give a sh!t about people starving homeless people on the street. I would prefer to keep my money and spend it on luxury items.

    I do not give a sh!t about all the people who died in Japan.

    and so on.

    I can not help how I feel about these things. My emotions respond the way they respond and that's it.


    What things do you not give a sh!t about but don't talk about?

    I don't talk about them for a reason obviously so why would I tell you???

    I don't give a sh!t about people who have no empathy.

    If you cared about all the individual cases of pain and suffering in the world you'd be a severely depressed person.

    I care and I'm not depressed by it. Many others too I bet. Empathy, one of the things that makes us human beings.

    I hope that bitch Mary Harney gets whats coming to her after todays crazy court case, in which she won over 450,000.

    I care that there is suffering, but lets say, I'd care a lot more if it was closer to home. Strange maybe. Like I'd care a lot more about a murder in Ireland than a thousand abroad.

    And I'd gladly take 25k dead Japansese if it meant the life of a loved one. I suppose that's the level or care I have. Empathy but not sadness.

    Much like me. Translation. You don't give a sh!t.

    Why do you wish for earthquakes to kill Japanese babies?

    Shame on you.

    I don't wish it. I just don't care about abstract people who may as well be characters on a computer game from an emotional and empathic perspective. If they died in front of me I would care.

    So if Mr. Robert Gerard Sands were still alive and walked up to, you wouldn't get evil thoughts of taking out on him your frustrations?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,556 ✭✭✭Deus Ex Machina


    I think there is a spectrum of sorts when it comes to the degree to which people care about somewhat abstract matters like deaths in foreign countries, or people you don't know being homeless. You are at one end, in that you claim to not care in the slightest. The people at the opposite end care a lot more than you, but I don't think they care as much about hundreds of deaths in Fukushima than they would about the death of a single close friend or relative here. From what I can see, feelings of empathy are based first on the presence or absence negative occurrence's direct proximity to our own lives, and all else is secondary.

    I dont care about peoples kids and I wish they'd ever shut up talking about them....mind numbingly boring!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 817 ✭✭✭shar01


    When I see cars with signs such as "Protected by angels", I want to ram the car off the road and shout "where's your angel now!"

    Is that evil?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,508 ✭✭✭ElaElaElano


    I don't care much for Tayto.
    There, I said it.

    That's apathy or a lack of empathy...not evil.

    Evil is what I'm thinking of doing to my new 'Team Leader' in work. If he keeps pissing me off, he's going to have a really bad day. :D

    Your evil feelings you can't help....... but feel sorry for bin laden. The man thought he was opening the door to MTV cribs to show off his million dollar pad but instead got a bullet in the head. Would have been a great episode. ;)
