Look at the GARM, look at the Dish, Look at the Debate and Discussion. Why is clutchfans full of haters? What is it about the demographics of clutchfans that causes it to have more haters than the average bbs? I don't see this on the Miami boards I belong to nor on some of the other tech/pet boards I'm a member of. My best guess is that it's because Houston is a miserable city without much to do. Heat, Humidity, Mosquitos, Sprawl, rednecks, traffic, and fat people. I would imagine the San Antonio message boards are similar. But that's just my best guess. Any other theories?
Maybe 5% of all the humans I've ever had to deal with. I have this weird habit of putting myself in people's shoes before passing judgement on them. I also understand when people are having a bad day.
Yes I'm still here bringing positivity and dropping knowledge and Logic. I'm mentoring (for free) a few younger clutchfans who wanted to start their own business, helped another one with his finances via a loan and turned him onto Mr. Money Mustache. Contributed the the bbs with donations, try to provide non-bias takes in the NBA dish and GARM, & have kept people up to date on the Ukraine crisis in the debate and discussion. I think we should stop hating. Should I leave?
Well if you insist on being a pompous narcissist half the time I assume you'd get bored of being here just like you're bored of sports.
The world is an imperfect place, and everyone and everything in it are therefore imperfect. Everyone, including ourselves. When we realize and accept this, then the things around us which are imperfect become much more tolerable. Human beings have a brain and a heart, giving us the unique capacity to overcome our base nature. We are made this way so that when we make choices, we define ourselves to the world, define what we are and our place within it. Sometimes people make wrong choices, and sometimes they make the right choices. The people who rise above their coarse base nature, those are the ones we admire, we call 'good', those are the ones we *like*. The ones who wallow in their base nature, seeking not to rise above but to stay coarse and base, and to pull others down to their level, seek to hurt, to destroy.. those are the 'bad' people, the ones we do not like. A lot of this perception comes from your own position. Are you striving to rise above your own coarse base nature? Or do you wallow in it? Who you like or dislike will be affected by your own role. Philosophers have tried for thousands of years to define and refine these things, calling them 'virtues' and 'deadly sins' for example. But the nature of the world is like gravity - the pull is always toward the dark, and the striving is always toward the light. Which way are you headed?
I voted 0-50, but I have to admit I don't care for a great deal of people. I want to like people, but they are generally so disappointing. I was going to say no one, as hate is too strong a word, then SacTown went into troll mode again and I remembered there are exceptions. Bless your heart. Don't go changin'.
I said 0-50%, edging more towards 0 than 50. I think people in general are somewhat clueless, and downright idiotic, but for the most part they are harmless. Now for the monsters that have no conscience and are capable of atrocities towards both humans and animals, I have nothing but hate in my heart.
I don't hate human beings... just some of their traits... like stubbornness, ignorance, stupidity, hypocrisy, duplicity, egocentricity, pride, greed, superficiality/plasticity, fickle minds and hearts... I, however, love the human spirit whenever it so tragically... rarely shines through.... And human love can be an incredibly, beautiflly transcendent quality when the right two people find each other...
Considering you probably cannot possibly know more than say . . . 1% of the complete human population Your feeling is based on third party information which is unverified and based on other's personal biases and agendas Very strong word HATE is . . . . Rocket River
Oh, and I left out a very nasty habit that's very human... strong adherence to subjectivity with a strong lack of objectivity....
way too much hate and blame going on around here. just way too much. why you guys love this attitude, I don't know, but it's going to kill you one day. and yes, semantics COUNT. Only an idiot without accountability would say it doesn't.
