I was thinking about how horribly stupid and childish most people are.  How &#8212; no matter how old they are &#8212; they seem to be at least partially stuck at some point before highschool graduation.  You know what I mean, with the stupid social games and the bullshit and the fucking attitude&#8230;.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nYou can see it on some messageboards &#8212; especially the large ones.  Someone comes up with something, starts a thread.  It gets going, and suddenly someone starts screaming about how someone else is hijacking an idea, and how everyone needs to just slow down, because it&#8217;s only been a weekend, and if you don&#8217;t we&#8217;re gonna lock the thread, or something.  As if a weekend and a month aren&#8217;t somewhat similar these days.<\/p>\n<p>Things move fast now.  Perhaps mental age needs to catch up, or something.<\/p>\n<p>And threats of using moderating power are pretty much why some people shouldn&#8217;t be given that power.  Because they don&#8217;t fucking know how to use it.  Instead, they crawl around the boards and lock posts that haven&#8217;t even been posted to in months.<\/p>\n<p>In a chat setting, sometimes they&#8217;ll kick everyone out of the room.  From what I understand, that tends to happen in places like MSN.  In Yahoo, the worst I ever saw was some fucking loser filling a room with bots.<\/p>\n<p>Back then, all we had to do was make a new room.  Can&#8217;t really do that now, but&#8230;oh well.<\/p>\n<p>Somehow, these thoughts led me back to <a href=\"http:\/\/systemvsbizzi.biz\/\">this fucking retard<\/a>.  They&#8217;ve gone through about fifty site design changes since I first called them idiots, and this most recent version is claiming 6,000+ members.<\/p>\n<p>Shouldn&#8217;t they be getting more comments than, say, <i>me<\/i>?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;They&#8217; always did lie about their numbers, though.  I guess that&#8217;s why stupidity and childishness made me think of them.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes I get the feeling that I might be happier if most of the people I encountered were on an autopsy table.<\/p>\n<p>They might smell better, and they&#8217;d certainly sound smarter&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and at least they&#8217;d act their fucking age.<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And I thought I should share, I guess.
