ITs the internet, they can be asshats because they deal with strangers whom they will probably never meet irl.

Even outside of the internet too though, it's unfortunately human nature, it just gets worse online b/c they feel they can get away with it.

exactly, because it's easier to hate than it is to understand.

I'm more concerned with the people who can't deal with it.

I have to agree with this too. :)

Haters are angry with themselves for never accomplishing anything worthwhile in their lives, and they have no redeeming qualities no matter how much they try to boast about their material possessions. They're mad at you because you have everything they gave up on or are too lazy and self-centered to obtain. You have a better life, friends, people who respect you, and a ton of talent. They want all of that, and they feel entitled to it, so they lash out at you in jealousy.

This^^^^

Although this brought a smile to my face... I do mean this hate issue as a whole and to the general population, not myself..
Perhaps it was my near death experience that opened my eyes, as I realized my catty attitude and inability to open up and truly love others was because I didn't love myself.


But mostly I am also baffled by all the ignorant comments many are making in regards to the situation in Japan, which I find completely heart wrenching.

There are plenty of other things I see people nitpick which just aren't justified, but that's a complaint I'll keep to myself for now.

Ohhh... yeah, I've been seeing that too. It's... wtf. :l

Most people don't believe/ love themselves and are hellbent on making everyone around them as miserable as they are.

I love myself, but i love others more!!! I believe in Karma and i believe that asshats will be asshats but the asshats will be dealt a hand that return what they dish out

Amen. I hope others who have hate in their hearts read this and adopt your positivity too!

If ignorance were really bliss, I think people would probably be happier.

Given how much ignorance abounds though, this is apparently untrue.

Such people aren't generally worth the frustration they cause.

people tend to be selfish and hateful. no idea why, but people in general seem to be this way. could be down to ignorance and self-loathing, but could be a number of other things too, such as using anger to mask hurt feelings or abuse.

Yea you forgive the bad stuff, forget the weven worse stuff! DX

I don't really get it either. I mean, like you said, some people have harsh reactions coming, but others, not so much. What gets me is when people leap to conclusions based on partial information and just ASSUME that they have it coming. :/

Hating is the cool thing to do.

I'm past the point of amazement. These days, NOTHING about human nature surprises me.

The best way to live ones life is to do the best in following ones values. I refuse to treat people badly, even through the anonymity of the internet.

But unfortunately I'm in a slump and dont feel too great about myself so I dont know how I can promise you it'll bring good fortune. Though... Though it can bring to you a nice set of really good, close friends.

Probably because they see you whoring yourself out on FA.

Aren't you beaming with originality.
