People suck...Mein opus

now | me

[Snurple]

Ive been here for about 12 years on and off (drudge exposing Monica and BJ) It seems there is so much hate on these websites...makes me feel dirty. Good luck and buh by. Hope Sarah makes it...Im convinced she is the real deal.

[Scythian]

You’ve only been here since 2008, I’ve been here since 1998 ... (had a few opus’s of my own but always came a crawlin’ back)

Lots of folks read FR for a long time before they sign up to post.

“Hate” is a very strong word. It is also a most abused word. Mostly the Leftist morons I’ve encountered in my life are the ones that abuse the word. “Dislike”, or milder forms of negativism most often suit any situation the Lefty abuses with the word “Hate”.

IMO the reason the word is abused so prolifically by the Left is because the Left is comprised of a bunch of drama queen homo’s demanding to be heard whether they have anything to say or not.

What was it you were saying?

[NeoCaveman]

A 2? You are being charitable.

Well, the Big Zero just gave himself a B+...

[Constitution Day]

LOL! Good point!

A VALEDICTION FORBIDDING MOURNING.
by John Donne

AS virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls to go,
Whilst some of their sad friends do say,
“Now his breath goes,” and some say, “No.”

So let us melt, and make no noise, 5
No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move ;
‘Twere profanation of our joys
To tell the laity our love.

Moving of th’ earth brings harms and fears ;
Men reckon what it did, and meant ; 10
But trepidation of the spheres,
Though greater far, is innocent.

Dull sublunary lovers’ love
—Whose soul is sense—cannot admit
Of absence, ‘cause it doth remove 15
The thing which elemented it.

But we by a love so much refined,
That ourselves know not what it is,
Inter-assurèd of the mind,
Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss. 20

Our two souls therefore, which are one,
Though I must go, endure not yet
A breach, but an expansion,
Like gold to aery thinness beat.

If they be two, they are two so 25
As stiff twin compasses are two ;
Thy soul, the fix’d foot, makes no show
To move, but doth, if th’ other do.

And though it in the centre sit,
Yet, when the other far doth roam, 30
It leans, and hearkens after it,
And grows erect, as that comes home.

Such wilt thou be to me, who must,
Like th’ other foot, obliquely run ;
Thy firmness makes my circle just, 35
And makes me end where I begun.

Dear Snurple;

You are so 100% right: people DO suck.

People are mean, hateful, greedy, and selfish; they lie, they cheat, they do absolutly horrible, awful things to each other all the time.

And, you are one of them.

I am, too.

The miracle of it is, despite all the above; that there is redemption in Jesus Christ and compassion for the crummy stuff we do.

Another miracle is despite the sucky parts, the greedy, awful, selfish parts that everybody has; that so many people are so good. Even the nearly,completely crummy ones manage to be good sometimes. Really, that is a wonderful achievment, given the starting point.

I don't recall seeing your posts ever, but goodbye anyway.

Have a nice life.

[LS]

LOL.

[publana]

That’s it? You’re obviously not in extreme opus mode. Just take a break. When you come back, things will have calmed down. Maybe. At least come back for the 2010 elections so you can stare at the hourglass due to a decided lack of bandwidth. Hour glass staring is a tradition around here at election time. Surely you don’t want to miss that!

[The Comedian]

I assume you meant to assert that "People suck, except for The Comedian", so I'll let this slide.

And we understand your departure. Most people are not up to the standards required here, so being a washout is the norm, not the exception. We wish you the best, and are confident that a person with your communication skills should have no trouble at all finding a top-flight job in either the janitorial or personal escort service sectors.

BTW, the responses to the opus threads are pure gold, and I want to thank all the "Haters" on FR for being insensitive enough to post them. I salute you all, you big meanies, and count myself fortunate to be included in your ranks... until I collapse in tears, write my own opus, and am told I am a "Fail" and a "Homo", of course. But I will deserve it.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Feel spineless yet?

[ApplegateRanch]

It seems there is so much hate on these websites

Says more about you.

People usually find what they're looking for, because they brought it with them in the first place; and take it with them, where ever they go.

That holds true for Web sites as well as physical abodes: people with "bad neighbors" have "bad neighbors" no matter how many times they move, and no matter where they move to.

A good clue is the only thing on your 'about page":

Good luck finding a place where you like yourself.

[paulycy]

Golly. And right before Christmas, too.

Oh well. Your opus was lousy anyway. Come back later when you've rested.

It seems there is so much hate on these websites

Some people's actions and ideas (liberals/leftists) deserve to be hated. That is the normal natural emotional response of someone who values rationality.

[Canedawg]

It's not hate, it's patriotism.

[Publius6961]

Geez...so you weren’t named on the “Favorite FReeper” list...get a grip...

There's a 'favorite Freeper' list?

Criminy!
Nobody ever tells me anything...

[jessduntno]

“Criminy! Nobody ever tells me anything... “

Yeah...I spent hours searching for my name...big disappointment...I was overlooked again...

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Gee, I am sorry, Snurple. We hardly got to know you. In fact, I had not even heard of you until now. Good luck in the finals.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Good post. You describe the human race well.

[tioga]

hey, I liked your opus-es........much more original with some passion thrown in! ;*)
