nonpolar, front and center

[The_Asbestos_Mango]

OK, you’ve disgusted us with your descriptions of jacking off while surfing porn on the 'net and your descriptions of your diseased penis.

You’ve offended us with your anti-Americanism and your praise of Hitler. Yet, thus far we’ve fairly tolerated you.

But this time, you’ve gone too far. See, with your previous posts, at least you didn’t personally insult people on this board. But now you have.

EddyFreddyTeddy is a well-liked member of our little community, and he (she?) is now facing the painful decision of having a beloved horse put down. An animal that has been part of his life for over twenty years. Several other posters came into the thread to offer comfort, and to share their stories of having to euthanize pets.

Then you came along. You dismissed their grief over the loss of their pets as “vanity and snobbery”, and referred to EddyFreddyTeddy’s longtime companion as a toy. You obviously have never experienced the joy and unconditional love a pet can bring into a person’s life, or the pain that someone can feel when a creature that has become part of your family dies.

I’d be willing to bet that not only have you never experienced the love a person can have for an animal, but also have never loved another human being. Nobody who cared about other people would post the kind of tripe you did in that thread.

With an attitude like yours toward the pain of others, you will no doubt live a deservedly wretched and lonely life, and die a wretched and lonely death.

I hope you enjoy the companionship of your online porno pictures and your own hand. No human being with half an ounce of respect for themselves or others would want to come near you.

Um, wasn’t a **nonpolar **pittage closed earlier today?

[t-keela]

Hello Mango, howareya…gonna waste a little bandwidth are we?
I tried to help the guy and actually went as far as making excuses/defending the guy. I agree with ya whole heartedly sweets. But I think I’ll just add him to that list of folks with whom I’ll pay no attention to from this point forth. He’s made no attempt at being civil. There are no powers of persuasion to win any friends or even simple respect. Therefore, that’s it…I’ll just file him with the Justhinks of the world and wish the rest of y’all a goodnight. Have fun.

[Futile_Gesture]

Um, yeah. Too many pittings around here are for trivial reasons, just excuses for acting outraged and the tough guy.

But this one is well deserved. Grade-A jerkish behaviour.

[Sisyphus_Stone]

Pathetic, really.

Three thousand, five hundred people die of starvation around the world every day - twenty-four hours. Most of these three thousand, five hundred people are children, mostly from undeveloped, third-world countries and mostly between the ages of one to three. And you have compassion for someone whose horse dies?

I don’t know anything about your value system and what you hold dear, but I’ll reserve my compassion for the people dying of starvation. Yes, I mourn for the starving of the world and not for the pampered horse. Weird, I guess in a world where a greedy country invades Iraq for oil while undeveloped country’s people starve.

Perspective, I guess.

I’ve read the post, and I’ve got to agree. EddyTeddyFreddy, one of the finest and most gracious ladies on this board (note the gender, folks) is talking about facing the death of her horse, and this is what non-polar has to say:

From what I read all this heartbreak and whining is ONLY due to your vanity and snobism .

Vanity and snobism? (The correct word, by the way, is “snobbery”.) From a man who thinks the only people who should show an interest in him are slender, gorgeous young women? From a man who writes post after inexorable post about his penis? Honestly, I’m starting to suspect an inverse ratio between the size of the thing and the amount he writes about it.

Non-polar, from what I’ve seen of you around here, you are obnxious, arrogant, and rude. It appears your only use for women is somewhere to dump your semen, and, as a result, this woman has no use for you. As I’ve said, I’ve been lonely and desperate myself. In fact, I think I spent a large part of my twenties that way. Here’s the difference. The way you’ve acted here, it’s difficult for anyone to want to interact with you, let alone doing anything as much fun as what you talk about so much. I believe this is the point where people like you (we have had a few here) usually say, “But I’m nothing like that in real life.” That may be the case, but all we see of you is what we see here, and I’m afraid I’ve seen nothing to like.

Please, for your own sake, grow up. Who knows? If you do change your attitude and your ways, you might even get laid or become a Moderator. It is, after all, an infinite universe. Meanwhile, you might want to stop whining about how lonely and horny you are.

In all honesty, I’m really surprised nonpolar has lasted this long. It can’t be much longer now, surely. And the only heartbreak and whining will be due to vanity and snobism

You people make me sick

You make us want to heave. So I suppose that’s fair all around.

if it is so sad to loose horse, dog, or cat why having them?

Why have anything with that argument?

By the way - I’ve figured out why your girlfriend left you. You’re a contemptible asshole with the empathy of a rock.

From what I read all this heartbreak and whining is ONLY due to your vanity and snobism

Apparently what you read also leads you to think Hitler was a humanitarian. You should be more selective in what you read. Like, try NON-FICTION occassionally. Or better yet, crawl out of your parents’ basement and try experienecing real life from time to time.

I thought many ,many times of buying dog or cat but then I realised that one day animal have to be put down and I would have live with huge guilt.

You are capable of guilt? Or are you just selfish yourself?

Actually, I’m quite happy you have not acquired a pet - animals don’t deserve to be raised by trolls.

Only people who need dogs are blind or epileptics. And please tell me why you need horses?

Why do you need the Internet? Why do you post on the Dope? You don’t make your living at it - it’s just your vanity and snobbishness. You should stop reading and posting on this forum immediately, since it’s completely unnecessary.

I guess the concept of pleasure has no meaning for you - I’d say how sad for you, but then I don’t care about your happiness (if that even has meaning in your case) because you so clearly don’t care about the feelings of others. You are dead inside, and, from what you have posted, incapable of maintaining a relationship even with one of your own species (making the VERY broad assumption that you are human, at least in physical form).

Why can’t you guys find other hobby, which does not require animals.

Why can’t YOU find another hobby than posting here, defending Hitler, spouting stupidity and nonesense, and posting a statement in a thread of mourning that even many with Asperger’s would recognize as needlessly cruel.

You are loathesome and despicable. You have hurt people. You are like a very disgusting, puss-filled bug I have found squashed on the bottom of my shoe that I am attempting to scrape off, with the added horror you have not yet stopped moving. You are an oil-slick on a pristine lake, slowly and painfully choking beautiful, wild things that have done no one harm. You are a razor blade inside a shiny, juicy red apple. You are no less horrible than those that directly and loudly insult and belittle, but less visible at first because you aren’t loud and profane. You’re just stupid and cruel and heartless. I would vomit on you, but it would be a waste of puke.

[Idlewild]

Compassion is not a zero sum game. Having compassion for the death of beloved companion animals does not subtract from the possibility of having compassion for starving children in any way. It doesn’t work like that. Compassionate people generally have plenty to go around.

[t-keela]

Since we’re talking about an individual here and not a country. I’m pretty sure Mango nor Eddy are nations and as such aren’t representative of the nation as a whole. Their personal feelings and others should always be considered when participating in a conversation in which they are a part. If your compassion is so limited that it doesn’t include the other species which inhabit this planet as well as our own then perhaps it would be best to avoid conversations to which you have no concern.
I’m quite certain that Eddy and Mango both have enough concern and compassion that they don’t limit it to their own greedy interests. It is people like you who spread the hate that contaminates this planet. How dare anyone belittle another persons love and compassion regardless of the recipient.
Perspective indeed.

You know sometimes it is better to NOT say what’s on your mind. What you’ve just said is inconsiderate and disrespectful to say the very least.

Sorry guys… the fight continues.

Most of these three thousand, five hundred people are children, mostly from undeveloped, third-world countries and mostly between the ages of one to three. And you have compassion for someone whose horse dies?

I fail to see how comforting someone who is losing a beloved pet is somehow incompatible with mourning the starvation deaths of thousands of fellow human beings.

I fail to see how mourning the loss of a pet implies that the person involved does not care about other human beings.

It is quite possible to have compassion for both humans and animals. If you wish to start a thread about our daily human tragedies why don’t you? Meanwhile, don’t piss on someone else’s grief.

[Sisyphus_Stone]

Perspective.

While one dotes on a horse, feeding and pampering to the point of ridiculous ends, people, mainly in undeveloped countries and with unrealised potential, die of starvation. Maybe the attention and devotion to meeting the needs of a horse might be better served by attending the needs of starving humans. Maybe resourses expended into supporting a bloody horse, redirected into the starving millions, might save a real life. I don’t know but I do know where my efforts are to be exerted.

I see no possible comparison.

While compassion knows no bounds, and there is infinite compassion in the world, still, children die of starvation.

Stuff the horse.

Shame you don’t have enough to go around.

[t-keela]

By this I assume you have no animals, pets or otherwise?
and nobody should for that matter. In fact, it would probably be better to just sacrifice all life that could be used to feed people. We should for certain not feed an animal if that food source could go to humanity. I understand now, thanks for the clarification.
There’s another poster for the list. I’m outta here. This is definitely a waste of space and energy. It’s nearly daylight again and I’ve got things to do. Good luck folks, you’re gonna need it.

:rolleyes:

Sisyphus’ Stone does love to pop up and sneer at animal lovers while playing the outraged sophisticate, doesn’t he? Funny how he’s so superior to others, but doesn’t seem to realize that if you’re really as morally superior as he thinks he is, you don’t increase peoples’ pain by being an insensitive, posturing, arrogant pedant.

@Sisyphus' Stone

Maybe the attention and devotion to meeting the needs of a horse might be better served by attending the needs of starving humans.

Maybe the money and energy spent to maintain a computer for the sole purpose of sneering at other people or wining and dining women for the sole purpose of getting one’s rocks off might be better served by attending the needs of starving humans.

Perspective, indeed.

I have a horse and no one is starving because I own her. I give quite a bit to charity. The amount didn’t change when I bought the horse. However, I did make sacrifices to my own standard of living. I suppose if I were a saint I would stay at my current meagre budget and give everything else to charity.

But by that argument, shouldn’t everyone take every dollar above what they need for basic subsistance living and give it to help starving humans? No cable TV. No paid internet access. No vacations. No new clothes. No dinners out. No going to movies or concerts. No hobbies or interests that cost money. None of that is needed.

It’s a pretty tall order to expect everyone to give up everything that gives them joy because there are starving humans somewhere.

The same argument could be made about expenditure of time, effort or money on any ‘luxury’, such as the bandwidth you used to make the above post. Ultimately, we do a lot of selfish, expensive things that we could curtail without dying and free up a big wedge of cash to mail off to the starving children, yet we don’t actually do that; we don’t sacrifice our comfy chairs and sit on wooden crates, we don’t give up our electric washing machines and do it by hand. We find it completely reasonable to expend our earned resources on things that make our individual selves comfortable and happy. We also get sad or upset when those things are lost, broken or taken away.

See, that’s the crux of the matter, SS. We’re not talking about feeling sorry about EddyFreddyTeddy’s horse. In fact, fuck EddyFreddyTeddy’s horse*. We’re talking feeling sorry for EddyFreddyTeddy’s for losing the horse. Losing a horse, breaking up with a girlfriend, losing a job - all of them are better than starving to death, for sure, but who are we to judge what causes another person’s pain? A poster was sad, people consoled him. Why he was sad is secondary.

• EddyFreddyTeddy - sorry about your horse, man.

[Futile_Gesture]

@Sisyphus' Stone

Stuff the horse.

See, that’s where you totally fail to see the point. We’re not talking about the horse. We’re talking about pissing all over a fellow human’s feelings.

If you think that they’re getting too dewy eyed about just a horse, then the compassionate thing would be to keep your mouth shut and move along. Their emotions aren’t hurting anyone, and certainly aren’t using up a finite global stock of compassion.

And on preview I see Alessan has beaten me to the point…
