The two are not mutually exclusive. I bid you the best of luck nurturing your negative feedback-spiral of doom.

Jesse, what was your point in starting this? It certainly wasn’t so that you could listen to advice from those older and wiser than you. Let alone take any advice and improve your life.

And why are you even online? If people in real life don’t like you being an ass, why expect random strangers to be any better at it?

Way to be negative in a thread about negativity.

Someone _always_ brings up the Goddamned Nazis. We knew it would happen sooner or later.

Will there ever be a time when Nazis won’t be important any longer?

Some bright gleaming future, Nazi free …

The point is, if you read the thread **Loach** linked to, you’ll notice that the Nazi involved got laid like six times. So it’s something for the OP to look into.

You can go to any Walmart, any time of the day or night, and see all kinds of people who have mates there with them. Unless **Jesse** really is some Quasimodo-looking melonfarmer, he can find someone, someday. It’s more fun pissing and moaning about how it’s his smile that prevents him from ever finding anyone to date.

One Nazi. I brought up _one_ Nazi. Thanks for blowing this out of proportion.

Why is always the Nazis? Why not somebody else, at least occasionally?  
Come on, Pol Pot was pretty amazingly evil. Will no one think of the Khmer Rouge?

I suppose not.

Perhaps it is for the best. Because, honestly, Khmer Rouge is hard to spell.

I dunno. Did Pol Pot have a lot of girl friends?

I was thinking Stalin. Or Mao.

But lets face it, there is nothing sexy about Commies.
