I hope you're joking, but misanthropy means the hatred of the entire human race. I think OP was speaking of cynism or pessimism in this case, however.Folio said:Oh MISANthropy... I thought it said Lycanthropy. Or perhaps Mycanthropy (Wherefungi?)
...I don't know what Misanthropes even are.
Actually, it's her fault for being an idiot letting him fuck her without contraception, so there ya go.tomtom94 said:There is a subtle difference between a stupid idea (a girl getting pregnant at 14 on purpose / as a result of alcohol) and unfortunate circumstances (a girl getting pregnant at 14 because her boyfriend was a prick who didn't use contraception). It really angers me when people fail and at times even refuse to make this distinction.
I agree that girls shouldn't do such things, and to be fair it's a shit example, I just couldn't think of a better one.No_Remainders said:Actually, it's her fault for being an idiot letting him fuck her without contraception, so there ya go.tomtom94 said:There is a subtle difference between a stupid idea (a girl getting pregnant at 14 on purpose / as a result of alcohol) and unfortunate circumstances (a girl getting pregnant at 14 because her boyfriend was a prick who didn't use contraception).

Neither are misanthropes who don't bother to post in the correct section.Svenparty said:What a misanthropic thread about hating misanthropes. Your not making it easy! I think the majority of age groups on The Escapist guarantee some feelings of angst. Happy people aren't going to populate advice forums

We are the most technologically advanced species in the entire known universe. How could you not be amazed and impressed by that?
Any time I'm feeling even slightly depressed or down I just listen to:

Funny, when I get bored, I read whiny emo threads on the escapist and post supid comments myself.Captain_Fantastic said:90% of the time im a happy,kind,accepting,nice person
but when i get bored(the kind of bored you get when all your friends are busy) for a longer period of time i get angry because i dont like being bored and then after the anger if im still bored i get misanthropic and cynical
Thanks. ^_^ I'm finding it rather ironic that the rather capriciously spawned cupcakes and rainbows thread seems to be doing much more to lift people's sprit's than this guy who's more or less telling people to 'cheer the fuck up' as if that would have any resounding impact. I think people here really need to decipher the difference between misnathropes and the misanthropic. I'm the latter, I'm wary of people I don't know and am prone to bouts of animosity and skepticism towards the greater percentage of the general populace, but that doesn't mean that I despise all of humanity and think them destitute of any altruistic intent. At any rate, I treat people as they come, they are individuals after all. On a side note, I don't get why you'd dislike nihilists, I mean Atheists are basically nihilists by default and many can be quite chirpy about being able to shape their own sense of purpose rather than relying on any inherent meaning to life.

I don't mind Nihilists/misanthropists necessarily, I hate the ones that spout on about it for now reason. Like, I was having a conversation about the best time to pet a cat (after they've been lying in the sun about they're all sleepy and warm) and someone else started going off about how we shouldn't be happy, and that there wasn't a point to it. It's like as soon as he saw happiness he was like "well fuck, I'm bad at being happy, so you shouldn't be, either", and it was annoying.OmniscientOstrich said:Thanks. ^_^ I'm finding it rather ironic that the rather capriciously spawned cupcakes and rainbows thread seems to be doing much more to lift people's sprit's than this guy who's more or less telling people to 'cheer the fuck up' as if that would have any resounding impact.

Ah yes, fair enough, although rather than nihilists/misanthropists I think those people are much more easily defined as arseholes.Ironic Pirate said:I don't mind Nihilists/misanthropists necessarily, I hate the ones that spout on about it for now reason.
