Predatory, selfish, self-serving, lying, manipulative pieces of shit! All of em? No. Just enough so that you never know whom to believe—best to shut out all than to contribute to the unnatural demon spawn that slithers the surface of this world, always preying, seldom giving, never without hope of reward. If I could take back having kids, I would do it in an instant—their fate is to suffer or become part of the problem. Piss on you, humanity! Godspeed your nuclear annihilation or lethal viral plague! There is not enough good in you to counter your cumulative moral vacuum. Today if I were to be mugged I honestly would antagonize the thief to do his worst just to quit me of this despicable world. ---

Oh…and a preemptive “Fuck You!” to the pedantic jackals who will descend in numbers to defend the minority who are coated by my broad brush of disgust. ---

Well, if it’s any consolation, you will eventually get your wish. Not sure if you’ll still be around to take any satisfaction from it, but still…it’s going to happen. So, buck up little buckaroo! ---

> [@Fiveroptic](#): > > Bad day? The mood I’m in today…If I were on a coast to coast flight and 5 hijackers sttod up and seized control of the plane, I am the guy who would stroll up to the closest one, bitch slap his death threats back down his throat, boot his nuts up into his chest and use his box knife or whatever to carve my initials into the faces of his fellow thugs while I kick their asses in Chuck Norris fashion. Then, as I’m getting off the plane, the first reported to call me a hero would have his nose turned inside out. Fuckit. When I’d done with the hijackers I’d just crash the damned plane myownself. Into a Fudrucker’s if I could find one, or maybe a Wal\*Mart. ---

I’ve said it before and I’ll probably say it again - if humanity manages to off ourselves, we deserve it. My husband’s favourite saying - “Hell is other people.” [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-which-i-wish-death-on-humanity/578247.md?page=2)
