I was pissed when my dad gave away my nintendo and my transformers, but now I understand that the kids who got them at the time were way happier with those than I was.

I can almost agree, but your Transformers? That shit's harsh.

Almost everyone I've seen who collects things as an adult is just sad. It just becomes an addiction whereby they have to get a new thing for their collection regularly to be happy.

Ah. I don't need new CDs to be happy, but if I am feeling pretty down, I do try and cheer myself up by ordering some. Especially since I've been banned from hitting the bottle (which I still do, just more infrequent). I cannot lie to you, I often do think about my next purchase.

Once, it got so bad, this was years ago, I hadn't bought a CD in a week. I scoured the house for all the pennies I could find. Walked into a second hand charity store and bought a. Bought a Backstreet Boys single. :'(

I just couldn't stop myself from buying a record that I knew I would hate, burn onto my iTunes and then forget about. I havge bought for the sake of buying.

It's a pretty lame thing to have as a hobby because usually they don't share it with anyone else and it doesn't make them any better or knowledgeable. Like if you collect Elvis shit, you're not going to be "cultured", you're just going to be a dumbass because you spend 5 hours a day on your Elvis collection.

Wife doesn't like me spending time apart from her. Like, I'm a member of a political party, but I've not been to a meeting in nearly a year.

It's not a productive hobby and if you DO meet someone else that loves music, even the same stuff, you can only share it really by going to a concert, so you are apart, yet together.

Like any other media, I suppose.

I've had way more fun spending my money on gifts, bike stuff, trips with friends, cool experiences etc. Plus, research shows that makes people happier overall anyway.

I don't really get to do stuff. Occasionally, I actually bail on a social thing because I just don't feel well enough for it. My GOD! I'm a neckbeard. :o

But yeah, ColorofAwesome, oh wise teenager with heavy depression problems, please indulge yourself in a large vinyl collection that surely will make you very happy as opposed to finding a hobby that makes you go outside your house.

If he is depressed, he probably wont like outside. I went outside today, travelled up town to get ukulele strings. Far too bright, I've got a crippling headache now. :'(

I was only kidding about your taste bro, you know that. Make me a radiogrounds DJ plz.

Outside. Where we have ripped our mother asunder and on Gaia's corpse shat a jarring cacophony of concrete in millions of different styles in the one block. Where the horde shuffle and fight and grunt over their meal and entertainment for the day.

I hate outside, I hope it dies.

The album Outside by David Bowie is, on the other hand, top notch Industrial.

After the backlash against Gangsta Rap, Chap-Hop.

Uh, Mrs. ZAAL says I'm a good boyfriend (she's wrong)? That's all I got. Ever.

Madness can be very fun. Why not?

Although I think you should steer clear of trying to give yourself schizophrenia and go for mani with amphetamines.

I don't want to assist any human in procreating, and filling up this world with their noisy offspring.

This all over the shop. Another reason is that I pretty much hate everyone.

Does being nice to myself count?

I don't give anything up for it either. So, yeah. I probably should be doing more, but meh.

I don't think God will be mad. It's something to intensify and reaffirm your faith, isn't it, Yahweh stopped demanding sacrifices when Jesus came. Don't feel bad about it.

You should thank your mum for making the intelligent economic decision, although she's probably not helping the case of the aforementioned underpaid Wallmart employees.

In her defence she has little room to manouvre - she has to purchase her shit somewhere.....unless.....*The theme tune to The Good Life starts up*

Numerous reasons: cheapest products, outsourced (often they are made in the same factories that make regular priced items, like Heinz and such) and the fact that Walmart are the biggest company on the planet helps. When they pay people piss-poor wages, they can afford to lower prices.

I work for a shitty company called farmfoods and they tend to make you work through your break, not pay you for all of your hours, take away your holidays and they wont even pay sick pay unless you begin legal proceedings. Most shops are like that, but the cheaper the shop, the more they edge towards that. I'm also willing to bet that all their stores are understaffed (still with plenty of staff, but if you consider the turnover, the customer traffic, etc.).

Yay for Kafka!

I have to say, for a movie from a producer of Saw (and I do think it was the producer, I may be mistaken), it was far less banal.

Still not my cup of tea though. If I want meaninglessness I will stick to Existentialism thankyouverymuchmykindSirandgoodday!

Good thing nobody cares about your opinion.

Nobody ever cares about my opinion on this site. But the fact of the matter is: I'm right, you know it, and you just gotta deal with it.

You say you're right that people who drink coffee are a waste of life? Doesn't that imply they should be culled from the population? That's the strangest justification for eugenics I've ever seen.

The world is vastly overpopulated anyways and everyone has it coming to him. Fuck it, I'm an ex-drunkard who takes 10 energy drinks a day to stay awake, but I agree with him - put me in the gas chamber too.

I would like to request, however, that you make a human skull pyramid at the end, Khan-style.

Maybe most 12 year olds.

Do you honestly picture a drug user taking his drug and going, "Heheh, fuck tha police, I'm a pretty cool guy," instead of doing it for the effects?

Yes. I have known plenty of people who do drugs and the initial reason seems to be hipness. I do know one person who quite marijuana who stated that it's not as good as getting pissed.

You have far too much faith in humanity and the people of my country pretty much do things because they are not meant to. I remember during the riots - and this is the attitude of the middle aged alone - the common consensus is that they were justified because the police shot that arms dealer kid just because he was black, because "when do they ever do anything good?".

Honestly, a grown man is not better than a 12 year old - a grown man is worse.

in fact this so funny that a person was about to die

That doesn't make it unfunny. It just makes it funnier really.

People have died from laughter, people have died iin very bemusing and inane circumstances. Death, just like life, can be full of fun!

Usually, just like life, it's drab and kinda shit.

What I don't get is that when someone is fairly drunk, they us the term "He/she is on drugs"

So I come here with a question;

Who here would refer to being drunk as being on drugs. Why do you say this? Do you have some kind of problem with alcohol?
I don't feel to good with people taking cocaine but I don't go out of my way to call them junkies.

Does anyone here know people that call alcohol a drug. Not because it is one, but because that is what their belief is. Or whatever...

you know

Yes it is a drug and while someone who is drunk is on drugs, to describe them as being so, whilst being accurate, is liable to start an argument with them or give others the impression that they are breaking the law. So I would just call them drunk.

I have had issues with alcoholism and many great men have and so have many dubious men - an addiction is merely that. Why, how often do you see people on their hands and knees looking for used cigarette buds to smoke? Daily, I'll bet.

I don't make a value judgement about the people who take illegal drugs, but yes they are breaking the law. Is it prudent? No. Even so-called "soft" drugs like marijuana can have terrible effects. I have known people who have went mad from it. When I was younger I wanted to try amphetamines, I never did, but I was really hoping to get mania.

I know a couple of people who still do it and haven't went mad yet. I hope one of them does and the other I am cool with. Most people take drugs to be cool and break the law, I took alcohol beacuse it made me feel alive, I needed it like a whore needs spunk. I was a vessel, like most people are (and I still am), I needed alcohol to come alive.

I still miss it. I want to drink right now. I want to drink myself into oblivion.

Good to know that you have your priorities straight.

I think he's right. A cockroach is of more worth than the vast sea of shuffling people.

Although death is as beautiful as birth and it should be viewed in the same way, I don't feel like watching that. Us white men kill people humanely, in gas chambers. Dirty savage spics.
