The Scum Of The Earth

I may seem fairly mild-mannered to the casual observer. The truth is I'm an incredibly angry person. You could say I'm a few manners away from kicking every fucker I see in the mouth. Manners and years of simply dealing with shit, years that have left me pretty much callous to whatever setbacks life doles out. I won't whine, give up, bitch or complain to pretty much anyone, but god help me, I will blog.

In case you haven't guessed, the theme of this post is
Day 12: Pet Peeves/OCD Habits
and my pet peeve is the general population. My OCD habit is holding in all the rage.


*Cracks knuckles*


First I'd like to quote Scott Adams, cartoonist of Dilbert, on one of his more revolutionary discoveries: 


People are horny, selfish and stupid.


Now the first item isn't really an issue with me; sex is good for you, and it can be good for others and have little consequences as long as you can be smart about it. But therein lies the problem. When you throw in selfishness and stupidity you basically get this:

How have I still not seen this movie.

In my opinion, the majority of people are pretty stupid. That's mostly because I'm stuck up and think too much, so I end up feeling that other people don't think enough. Sometimes its not their fault, and I can understand that. Some people are just born slower than others. I'm not saying I'm a genius. Some higher math concepts still elude me. In order for me to see someone as intelligent, they must only be thoughtful and have common sense.

Selfishness is more difficult to get away with. It's lack of concern for others that makes most people do reckless things. Surprisingly enough it's also easy to be intelligent and defend being selfish. Why should I give a shit about a bunch of retarded assholes? I admit it, and that's what makes all the difference.

Take varying amounts of these qualities, add some lust for attention, and you get the "Poser":

Or "LOL I totally watched ALL the Harry Potter Movies. I'm such a Nerd."

Let's look at the opposite end of the spectrum. Some people are just a little too "smart". Go further and add hypocrisy, denial, and a whole lot of smug. You should then have yourself a "Hipster":

Because as long as she's heard of it first, she's better than you.

The labels go on forever. And if it can be labeled, it can be hated. Even I am guilty of most of the elitist behaviors that make a hipster. Its okay because I cover my ass with plenty of self-mockery.

I like to think that once you've reached the level of mocking the people who mock hipsters (who are the people who mock posers) you just stop giving a fuck. Everyone needs someone to mock, because it makes them feel cool.  No matter how high on the satire food-chain you think you are, there will always be someone who thinks they're just "on a different level" than you. It's just human nature. And pretty much all humans suck.
