Are people REALLY this insane?

Are people REALLY this insane?

So I've been delving lately into the massive rabbit-hole that is Encyclopedia Dramatica (I am unsure at the moment if I should praise or shoot the person responsible for the introduction) and I am aware that the site is a parody, but I really just have to ask the question...

 

 

Are people really, REALLY that insane?  Seriously?

 

Vampire people, furries, full quiver christians... PEDOBEAR??

 

You know we all have our bad moments when we feel we've fallen into the darkest pits of madness.  It comes with loss, with unexpected hardship, and sometimes just because life isn't what you thought it was.

But I have to say... what madness I think I have felt in my life shrivels and dies in humiliation in comparison to the batshit insanity of some of the people depicted here.

 

I must wonder... what secrets do the people all around us, people we think we know, hide?

My girl is hot, and she plays WoW.

Beat that.

:V kekekeke

 

You like to BEAT your girlfriend because she plays wow?? :O

 

 

Thats what I read at least. :P

 

 

Topic veering......

Restating the question I posed before:

Human emotions and psychology might explain why but does it matter WHY? I mean if you know WHY a hot girl has fun with watersports does that make it rational and acceptable to you?

I thought we were dropping this topic.

Worm-eating Japanese girls: wierd, but the French eat snails. Not much difference.

razor-on-skin emo-sexuals: 1st part- stupid to cut yourself. Waste of good bladed tools and of your own blood. 2nd part- I know what emo is, but what in the world is 'emo-sexual'.

I was picking from the tame end of the pool. The emo bit was a joke, I really just ment people who like cutting themselves for sexual pleasure. (Note that most emos don't actualy cut or kill themselves and are just signing up to the new alternative culture. Im sure I listen to more depressing and self hating music and culture than they do, and Im not an emo. heh).

imho E.D. is worse in of itself than nearly every topic of the "articles" it hosts.

 

I cant believe youre reading that drivel....

Fools & freaks prefer a good joke or lies to truth; thus, they can get their silly 5 minutes of personal glory with YouTube and other miscellaneous ways - virtual or not.

It's known as solitude syndrome(s) in psychotherapy circles. A call for attention, a riddle in the wind and whatever else you may want to define as a waste of rational time.

Hooked on freedom & liberty, we simply mold this reality into an "intellectual" dream or challenge.

Puzzled by anything, we race around for our tails just like dogs and bark at the moon along the way.

Exhausted eventually by the oax(es), be it a result of our own imagination (however complex & involuntary, btw) or induced by absolutely normal curiosity.

They are masters of reductio ad absurdum, drivel it is definitely not.  I would advise you read behind the lines and not take everything at face value.

 

I am honestly frightened by people that look at parody and take it at face value.  It suggests either a lack of a sense of humour or lack of comprehension, both of which aren't exactly wanted attributes.

 

Nevertheless, the topics which ED discusses are, for the most part, real topics.  There ARE people who sincerely believe that they are vampires and must embibe the spiritual essence of other human beings to survive.  That ED harpoons them with a burning spear of intense and vicious insults and flaming does not take away from the fact of their existence.

As for the question of "why"?

 

Well, if we did not ask the why of things, what would still be as yet undiscovered in the world?  The question "Why" makes for a part of the very foundation of what it is to be a human being.  To cease our constant questioning, to no long wonder "why" for anything... I'd rather be dead than live in such a world of simple and unwarranted contentment.

Indeed, why is my favourite question. But is the answer going to satisfy? I really dont know why people want to have thier nose twisted and tortured by a brizillian prostitute. I could find out - but I could find out a LOT of things, none of which I can be bothered to actualy really find out. Lately I spent hours refineing my knowladge on 3D maths, I cared about that.

I don't care why I find preggy girls attractive. Prego is such a tame fetish but whats really diffrent? The answer really isn't very satifsying, much like how the fantasy is usualy better than the reality. Looking at hot prego girls with their curvy (that dosn't mean fat btw) bodys IS satisfying.

 

Thats what I meant.

 

Vampire belivers: If people can belive in loads of diffrent gods, spirits and concepts that become so ingrained as to become 'normal' when one tries to say he belives in something that isn't the norm then they get laughed at. Usualy by me :P. The Catholics truly belive in a giant burning hellscape. A literal place you will be tortured forEVER if you dont achive perfection in your imperfect life - and you laugh at people who think they need 'blood' to live? (I took some libertys with that).

I laugh equally at everybody.  No less an interest in me to try to understand the nature of human beings.

 

There's a moment for considering anything, even pregnant fetishes.  Last night I considered the consequences of an educational system sponsored by businesses and founded on personal competition and responsibility of the individual instead of the state (The end result of that train of thought was interesting, if not pretty).

Now, thanks to you, I will spend the next five minutes contemplating the root of the attractiveness of pregnant females to certain males, why it is not universal, and what sort of instinctual trait might be at the foundation of such feelings. 

 

I thank you \o/

 

There is a time and a place for everything, even inane things.

If I thought about that too much I'd get a hardon. :( ... no wait :)!

 

Pyschology says it is the demonstration of fertility, same with breasts in general, hip/waste propotion etc. All very interesting but not quite as interesting as a pair of six inch clear plastic stilletto heels with silver trim and straps to tie up the leg.

Contradiction. WoW has the power to make even Megan Fox unhot. Unless she does in fact play, then I'm on board.

Yeah. For example, it's the only wiki that has a good article on jews. All the others just doesn't feel as truthful.

Using that word "batshit" just made my day.

The ignorant and the mentally ill now have an equal publishing forum with those that are not.  

The critical thinking needed to separate the nuts from the bolts should be taught in our classrooms.
