Ahhh..."haha..." you are such a sad, angry, little person. Do you figure yourself to be some kind of prophet of "reality?" Reality is what you make of it. Sure, your reality probably doesn't include peace, love, unity, or respect, but that doesn't necessitate that you impose your own wretched, pathetic paradigm on the members of this board.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with people communicating on this board about the way they wish things would be. These individuals are attempting to live out that Judeo-Christian ethic (my apologies if I have offended anyone by associating them with this religious construct): do unto others as you would have done to you. We obviously know how you feel about this...
Do us a favor, if you have nothing to add of any value, please just walk away. Go find some other group of people who will appreciate your "realistic" viewpoint on life. Try to do a little something positive with your life instead of wasting your efforts and talents as some kind of personified entropy...the universe is already doing that...try something a bit more original.
You actually sound like a friend of mine here in Raleigh. He, too, is a sad, angry, and hopeless person. The longer he has lived here, the more people he has alienated..."proving" his theory that people suck and you should never let them near you (figuratively speaking). Of course this is only a self-fulfilling prophecy...he created the situation he thought already existed. Now he does little other than sit in front of his computer and complain about people, constantly spewing little lies to embellish society's view of him while everybody around him sowly realizes what a worthless turd he has made of himself. Sure, he functions in society, has a job, pays his rent...but nobody has any respect for him, most people couldn't give two shits about whether he lives or dies, and he's constantly wondering who's out to get him...he claims to even enjoy the paranoia. He hates PLUR, too.
So, "haha..." be careful of how you wish to present yourself...you seem to want to be the little bully back in elementary school who had no friends, had no hope, and whose only source of amusement and pleasure was to try to destroy whatever somebody else created. How else would he feel like a big man? He's got nothing else going for him. Don't be that person. You don't have to hold our values dear...hell, I'm too much of a realist to wander around hurtling "PLUR's" wherever I go...but that doesn't mean I choose to destroy it. There are many worthwhile, loving, caring, amusing, sarcastic, bitchy, high-strung, laid-back, witty, intelligent, and twisted people on this board; in otherwords, you could find people to connect with, people who share some of your same hopes and beliefs, people who will make you think, and people who could make you laugh. Stop kicking sand in our faces and build your own little section of our sand castle (okay, that was a ridiculous metaphor, I'll grant you that). Try working with us...just some of us, not all...and I think you will find the interaction rewarding. If you still feel the need to trash something, find another website, or just go beat up a midget...that always works for me.

I will find humor in my everyday life by looking for people I can laugh at.
