Re: Most People Are Too Self Absorbed to Listen. Society is 100% DONE.
As tragic events and overreaching laws continue, most of you will still be debating on who's a troll, who's citing truth, and whether the person who tried to paint the truth for you, was a nothing burger. I'm convinced that if scientists ever positively identified a world ending meteor on its way to earth, most of you would still be debating the topic up until the final moments of civilization. We have lost any sort of semblance of respect or trust for one another, long ago.

As a society, we have failed. We're really already finished. You can try and make snide comments, but you'd really only be proving my point which is that our society is hopelessly beyond repair. Today's society is the most self absorbed society ever known, and to be fair, most people these days don't really like people. Hell, they don't like themselves. We as a society, don't play or work well with others. You can see it literally everywhere around you. On the roads, while shopping and even in a church parking lot. It's a shame, but it is what is is. Sure, there are always exceptions, but as a whole? No. It's a shame, because we had a good thing going as a society.

Time for a reboot. So now, we wait for the elite to finish what they started.

For the Tards to understand.......Trump has allowed about 5 MILLION illegals into the USA since his taking office, he still refuses to allow ICE to deport 30 million illegals.

Trump sold out his country. Demographically and statistically the USA will be Mexico North within 20 years.

But Tards need not worry. Trump will give you and your children jobs as cooks, waiters, gardeners, caddies etc at Trump Resorts.

Polished shill is still a shill. But carry on, maybe you can rope in some flat earthers to your conspiracies.
 Quoting: Arcbender


Yeah. I mean, it's not as if this is a conspiracy forum or anything. Also, I never trust anyone who looks down upon "conspiracies", but by all means, please continue. Also, you'll be angry to know that I believe that the earth is round.

OP! There's only so much shart I can give you to gargle on bro. You really need to curb your "habit". Sending prayers to the OP for help in its struggle.

Not sure what in god's name you're on about but here, but alrighty then!


I don't usually pat red karma outcasts on the back, but in this case I'll make an exception.

:morley1:
 Quoting: WGON


Thank ya. Btw, GLP karma is by no means an accurate barometer for anything.


The word 'society' doesn't suffice for what it means.

Anyone saying that society is done is beginning to realize that their self is going into individualization stage.

Society is what it appears to be, and the word can define into further different groups of people.

So to the OP, welcome to the part of life where you make yourself useful for your self and others.
 Quoting: MakeSaveDestroy


Pathetic gas lighting attempt gone sideways.

OP creating Fake News

Most people and 100% ?

Total generalizations.

How many people has op talked with

I talk to people frequently who listen

Society is an abstract concept as it is not a concrete fact like a human is.

Society cannot encompass all people in the world
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76806407


I've talked to enough people to have predicted that your comment would likely be pure deflection, and yep. here are. Creating fake news? I put out information that I trust to be true. So, again, we shall see how "fake" anything that I have put forth on this forum is, as the truth unfolds.

OP is talking about human nature, we have always been this way, but...

At the market,
I let people holding a few items always go ahead of me, always get a "thank you very much"

On the road,
I let others merge into my lane,
always get a thank you wave back

In public,
I great strangers with "Good morning, Afternoon, etc."
always get a positive response back

At work,
I relieve my coworkers early, come back from break early, always help them, always get a thank you back.


Don't give up
Could it be your attitude OP?
 Quoting: javierruizleon


No, again, I am speaking in terms of the collective. Mathematically, people in today's society are not mentally well. Anyone can cherry pick the good souls out there as a means to to dismiss the public at large. However, if anyone has been paying attention, the numbers do not lie. Where do you live? Are you blind to the decay?

That's a lot of Violated Posting Rules (Abusive Post)
 Quoting: AltSwede


It sure is, isn't it? Power hungry people just love to delete posts.


How GLP has changed over the years. Any attempt to bring a bit of logic, common sense and critical thinking is pounced on, buried and the OP gets lots of red. I got me some red the other day from someone that apparently didn't even read what I said. Fortunately I don't give a duck about karma points, I don't come here so people can validate me and feed my sense of self importance. The post that got OP in trouble is the kind of post that used to be the bread and butter of GLP, nothing he said is impossible, time will tell if he got it right, so why insult the guy before he even had the chance to join the halls of GLP fails on his own merit? What if it turns out he is right? Will you all apologize to him. I doubt it. Some of the stupidest posters here have tons of green because they say the right things. Lots of red karma means one of two things. The OP is a dick, or something he posted triggered a bunch of trolls. I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
 Quoting: KeepingItReal


Thank you and well said. You seem like a logical, good person.


Bro,

Do you need a hug? Seriously. Hug it out. You'll feel better.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7551034


It's like you're not even trying to make a good gas lighting comment. Listen, if you're going to troll, at least pick up a psychology book.
Most people can't stand a whining bitch OP, maybe that's how you got this way.... LOLZ
 Quoting: Fauxcohontas


My opening post here never attacked any specific person. You, on the other hand, are so inept and weak that you feel utterly compelled to attack anyone who attempts to post truth. Likely because you are extremely uneducated and have NOTHING to say. Sadly, you don't even realize how people view you. Wake up. grow up.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72058907


Your comment says everything there is to say about our society. Well done for shedding light on the subject and for affirming the accuracy of the ignorance is bliss theory.



Your opinion is utter rubish. Society is fine. The elites need to go.
And hey bud it’s been 40 years since people thought EC was God.
Get with the program!butthurt9
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78202304


Right. So, you must be missing the news or have chosen to put your head in the sand. You want to talk numbers and evidence for societal decay? I have all day. As for the elites "have to go" no shit, sherlock. You're presenting a straw man. Did you even bother reading the last lines of my post? I said we're in this shitter due to society allowing the elites to finish what they started. As for the whole "Clapton is God", thing congrats! You just won the straw man of the week post. Who the fuck said I thought he was a god? Do you see me spray painting that nonsense anywhere? No, you don't. In fact, if you really knew what you were talking about, you'd know what "Clapton's Doctrine" likely means.

Yeah OP, responses pretty much prove your point.

Everyone pretty well programmed, their contributions quickly bring all their own biases and show they took in nothing that you said. Little interest in actually listening to a point of view that somehow conflicts with their own.

Funny that you can even say something they agree with but your identity does not match theirs so they will still reject your statements even if they are in agreement.

Also, it has devolved into being all about the messenger and not the message as a whole. They've their job well destroying our society.

Have not read the whole thread....

My comment is that the media through which we view our society gives us a distorted image, much like a fun house mirror.

Look in the distorted mirror all you want, but remember that is not who you are, who we are.

Media companies intentionally distort the content they deliver, because the more sensational they can make it, the more clicks on their web pages they get.

Small societal issues get magnified to gargantuan proportions and relayed to us through electronic media on a seemingly infinite loop ad nauseam.

Conspiracy message boards provide their own brand of distortion.

Read all you want, but keep in mind that's not necessarily what's happening "out there" where the IRL Program is running.

Watching a broadcast of a riot can give the impression an entire city is being destroyed.

Nope. It's just a portion of an urban neighborhood, being destroyed by paid thugs and young opportunistic punks.

Pan back on the image and over 99% of the city remains untouched.

That example applies to society as a whole.

Over 99% of our society is functioning well and as it should.

Stating unequivocally that "As a society, we have failed" displays an incredible ignorance of what is working right, of the many myriad of things operating successfully, of the untold millions living their lives successfully. Hundreds of millions.

Our problems are vastly overstated, distorted, exaggerated by the fun house media and the nattering nabobs of negativity like the OP of this thread.

Don't buy into that bullshit.

Happy Thanksgiving!

However, I want to address something else. I often see these kinds of retorts on GLP anytime someone does make an attempt to post truth. Immediately they are hit with, WELL WHAT ARE YOU going to do about "insert problem here". That's hardly a rebuttal. What it really is, is simply a passive aggressive way of saying shut the fuck up, and that tactic is getting mighty old around here. It's mob rule mentality.

For example, it's no different than when someone (heaven forbids) suggests that Trump may not be great for the country, and they are immediately bombarded with "Well WHO do YOU want as president". having a solution isn't a pre-qualifier for making a statement that an individual feels as true.

In fact, as a freedom loving Americans, we have every right to bitch about problems without having a genius plan on how to fix them at a moment's notice, especially if that very problem wasn't cerated in a fair system to begin with.

Don't have a plan to fix the system at a moment's notice?

That's a kick. Anyone with a brain and who has paid attention the last 4 years knows we didn't have another 4,8, or 20 years to kick the can down the road.

Had Hillary been elected she would have opened wide the borders, created a dozen more Islamic strong holds like Minnesota, created more sanctuary cities, taxed Americans to pay for illegals and three years into her presidency she would be confiscating guns.

You don't have a solution? I didn't think so. Its not like you got any real idea what Trump faced when he took over the presidency.

Here's a clue. A man with any plan is worth 100x more than a man without a plan.

Not so fast.

Society has some problems, like all societies have.

It is also at the foot of the ancient 'tower of babel' civilization's technological prowess where great things were constructed that we aren't able to yet...but are getting there quickly. Like the Great Pyramid of Giza.

IF Scientists didn't MANUFACTURE DATA in exchange for MONEY at the request of the Government corporations, then maybe they could be believed!

As tragic events and overreaching laws continue, most of you will still be debating on who's a troll, who's citing truth, and whether the person who tried to paint the truth for you, was a nothing burger. I'm convinced that if scientists ever positively identified a world ending meteor on its way to earth, most of you would still be debating the topic up until the final moments of civilization. We have lost any sort of semblance of respect or trust for one another, long ago.

As a society, we have failed. We're really already finished. You can try and make snide comments, but you'd really only be proving my point which is that our society is hopelessly beyond repair. Today's society is the most self absorbed society ever known, and to be fair, most people these days don't really like people. Hell, they don't like themselves. We as a society, don't play or work well with others. You can see it literally everywhere around you. On the roads, while shopping and even in a church parking lot. It's a shame, but it is what is is. Sure, there are always exceptions, but as a whole? No. It's a shame, because we had a good thing going as a society.

Time for a reboot. So now, we wait for the elite to finish what they started.

Re: Most People Are Too Self Absorbed to Listen. Society is 100% DONE.
Have not read the whole thread....

My comment is that the media through which we view our society gives us a distorted image, much like a fun house mirror.

Look in the distorted mirror all you want, but remember that is not who you are, who we are.

Media companies intentionally distort the content they deliver, because the more sensational they can make it, the more clicks on their web pages they get.

Small societal issues get magnified to gargantuan proportions and relayed to us through electronic media on a seemingly infinite loop ad nauseam.

Conspiracy message boards provide their own brand of distortion.

Read all you want, but keep in mind that's not necessarily what's happening "out there" where the IRL Program is running.

Watching a broadcast of a riot can give the impression an entire city is being destroyed.

Nope. It's just a portion of an urban neighborhood, being destroyed by paid thugs and young opportunistic punks.

Pan back on the image and over 99% of the city remains untouched.

That example applies to society as a whole.

Over 99% of our society is functioning well and as it should.

Stating unequivocally that "As a society, we have failed" displays an incredible ignorance of what is working right, of the many myriad of things operating successfully, of the untold millions living their lives successfully. Hundreds of millions.

Our problems are vastly overstated, distorted, exaggerated by the fun house media and the nattering nabobs of negativity like the OP of this thread.

Don't buy into that bullshit.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Great post!

Hurricane Harvey come through Houston around the height of BLM movement/MSM blitz.

Houston was supposed to fall apart, have looters everywhere, beg for help from FEMA and National guard. That didn't happen. Local government did fail us, got desperate and asked for help from regular citizens. And we all helped.

People helping strangers everywhere, everywhere they could. Private citizens with boats, neighbors and friends helping clear out flooded homes, taco trucks, local restaurants and church groups driving around passing out food and water.

You know who I didn't see? BLM, Antifa, LBGTQ groups, social justice warriors, etc... I didn't see any of those groups helping the community. None of us did and I can tell you that matters. We remember who helped and who didn't.

Questions are complimentary. It means i want to hear more. It doesn't mean an answer is always expected. i ask because i really don't know. Your posts are an appreciated view. Historically speaking, when i read about our past world "leaders" biographically, individually and collectively, what they seem to have in common in my opinion is, they believe.
Keep preaching your truth brother ;)
Thank You.

That's the problem. People stop when triggered and fail to read anything in is entirety. You didn't resonate with a particular sentence that I typed, so you decided to "stop there".

People fail to ever grasp the full context of anything these days. They fail to look at the macro view. Society seems to be too angry to even form a coherent thought.

I like Trump, or again, I WANT to like Trump, but he signed the Patriot Act. What can be said? Not much. They all would sign the Patriot Act, anyone who would get near a nomination.
 Quoting: syncro


Its hardly the time for Trump to give up presidential powers especially when the country is filled with 20x the internal and external enemies than on 9-11.

This is what change looks like.

Whatever the fuck happens, the United States will never again experience that false, contrived, media-generated sense of normal we lived under for the last 40 years.

Anyone wanting Obama/Hillary type normal, well, that "normal" took the last train for the coast.

Here's what you do OP:

Society IS fucked, everyone knows it.

OK, now what the fuck are you going to do about all of that?

That's right.

Ah...

Feel that?

The weight is gone from your shoulders, now go be the best person YOU can be.
 Quoting: Lumberghini


I've attempted to spread truth. That's what I'm doing about "that" (at least on GLP) However, regardless of whether you buy into what I'm selling, well, that's up to you. Offline I try and be the best human that I can possibly be. All of us have faults, so this can be difficult for people, in general, especially in a society that is collapsing..

However, I want to address something else. I often see these kinds of retorts on GLP anytime someone does make an attempt to post truth. Immediately they are hit with, WELL WHAT ARE YOU going to do about "insert problem here". That's hardly a rebuttal. What it really is, is simply a passive aggressive way of saying shut the fuck up, and that tactic is getting mighty old around here. It's mob rule mentality.

For example, it's no different than when someone (heaven forbids) suggests that Trump may not be great for the country, and they are immediately bombarded with "Well WHO do YOU want as president". having a solution isn't a pre-qualifier for making a statement that an individual feels as true.

In fact, as a freedom loving Americans, we have every right to bitch about problems without having a genius plan on how to fix them at a moment's notice, especially if that very problem wasn't cerated in a fair system to begin with. So, whether you're intentionally posting these kinds of rebuttals or not, it needs to be pointed out.
 Quoting: Clapton's Doctrine


Don't have a plan to fix the system at a moment's notice?

That's a kick. Anyone with a brain and who has paid attention the last 4 years knows we didn't have another 4,8, or 20 years to kick the can down the road.

Had Hillary been elected she would have opened wide the borders, created a dozen more Islamic strong holds like Minnesota, created more sanctuary cities, taxed Americans to pay for illegals and three years into her presidency she would be confiscating guns.

You don't have a solution? I didn't think so. Its not like you got any real idea what Trump faced when he took over the presidency.

Here's a clue. A man with any plan is worth 100x more than a man without a plan.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78202154


Listen to you. You're hopeless. You just couldn't WAIT to jump in and troll the moment that Trump was brought up. And the ironic twist? You sure bitched a lot right there, purely for the sake of bitching, without actually having one single solution to qualify your bitching.

People are too self absorbed and angry to give a flying fuck about anything, really. Thanks for once again, proving my opening post.
