Question of the Day, Apr 8

Today’s question comes from Bea Lever. What makes people do such stupid things? I love it, as a sentient human being, I may overeat or occasionally indulge too much, but the millions of people that purposely ruin their own lives always astounds me. Unfortunately, some take us down with them.

Good question – I don’t know.
This is referring to the physical and it immediately came to mind of the mental, that which you can’t see, but which is even more disturbing. ISIS and liberals and stupid overly compassionate Christians are examples.

“overly compassionate Christians are examples.”

Of what? What is an overly compassionate Christian?
Some kind of idiot that thinks tattooing FY on the forehead
is a good thing?

The guy is trying to compensate for his obvious lack
of testosterone.

Mike,

While this sort of thing has always been around to one degree or another I think self destructive behaviour is actually becoming more common than it has in the past. In previous generations it was less common simply because there were more “natural” consequences to it. The state, having relieved many of said consequences artificially, has caused a proliferation in its growth. Sloth, envy, greed and general stupidity have been institutionalized. Moreover when those at the very top of the economic food chain act like a bunch of immoral turds then those at the bottom of said chain tend to emulate it in any fashion they can. Thus the pictures above….

Suzanna….it is one that responds to emotion rather than logic and one that has been propagandized (whether by politics, religion, environmental dogma, etc.).

Take the heartwarming, emotional, and goody-two-shoes phrase “we are all god’s children”. That phrase is a euphemism, unless you equate a Musloid beheading a Christian as one of god’s wonderful children. But, a compassionate Christian would ‘forgive’ that Musloid – I wouldn’t.

I imagine that sort of thing stems from caring more about what other people think of you and noticing you than what you think about yourself.

Francis,

Do you think most of the people engaging in self destructive behavior are actually aware that they are engaging in self destructive behavior?

A lot of them seem to go to all sorts of lengths to defend it.

As an excess of productivity is siphoned up by both the lower and upper class their distractions will grow increasingly bizarre and obscure as they seek to find meaning in their pointless existence.

Anon,

I’ll let everyone in on a dirty little secret. When I first got our of university many moons ago I was social worker in the child and family services field. I lasted a very short time – about 3 years – as I found out very quickly I was not wired to work in such an environment. In my short time there I witnessed all manner of crazy, destructive and criminal behaviour – both from the children and families we were trying to help and occasionally from my coworkers.

My observation was that some knew that what they were doing was destructive but wouldn’t/couldn’t stop because of some inner conflict they were unable to resolve. Most however, were unable to recognize their behaviour as deviant at all. Sociopathic and psychopathic type behaviour is more wide spread than we realize. In the past it’s tendency was to amass at the top of the political and socio economic food chain and at the bottom. Now I see it more or less spreading/seeping into every strata of society – particularly in the universities. I also see it slipping more and more into the extremely liberal end of the middle class. All I have to do is look around my neighbourhood a little and I can see it happening daily. What continues to amaze me is when educated middle class people seem puzzled by the fact that their lives have gone to shit after they have cheated, philandered and ignored their children. Some appear unable to put two and two together even with a masters or PHD. Go figure.

I don’t know, but extreme tattooing, piercing and “body mods” are pretty typical behavior among prison inmates. Maybe Alex Jones is right about this becoming a “Prison Planet”.

bb

Ed , extreme tattooing ,piercing And body mods also revealed your worship of the demonic whether the person realizes it or not.Tattooing in the ancient world was considered a gateway to the spiritual world . That’s why God forbids tattooing or cutting your flesh. Read the book of Leviticus .Chapter 19,-26.

I think that there is a percentage of the human population that has a need for drawing negative attention to themselves. It is beyond sociopathic behavior… it is not exactly suicidal either. I’ve known several men and women in the military primarily, though I can think of ONE who was in a government contractor position with no military background. These are productive people who insist on drawing the worst sort of attention to themselves, even though it is obvious that is will not end well for them.

For instance, a young man on an AWACS crew wrote F*ck the Navy in sunscreen on his back in Puerto Rico while staying at the Naval Air Station there and ended up in the hospital.

Suzanna, the stupid liberal Christians that throw their pearls before swine (PS: don’t have to be Christians alone that do that nor do they usually waste their own pearls). While I’m here, the stupid liberal Christians that forgive every sin and crime even when there is no repentance (Corollary: Who reward every stupid act, even giving Nobel Peace Prizes to dopers, racist and murders).

I do not give a fuck. Why try to understand such crap?

Hell I do not know why ” normal ” people can fall for all the conspiracies that we see daily.

Stucky

1. Self loathing. These people really really hate themselves.

2. Delusion. They talk themselves into believing they’re doing nothing wrong.

3. DNA fuck up at conception.

A parent’s worse nightmare. Our teen got busted. Ran off a couple of nights ago and yesterday I got a call to come get him.

My wife says leave him there. I say they’ll kill him. He wouldn’t last a week. Our two girls come home every night. We have a new baby in the family. The father is nowhere to be seen.

We’ve been home-schooling these spoiled babies. I am ashamed to admit they haven’t learned a thing. There dumb animals. I’m willing to bet little bb is responsible for our newest bundle of joy.

I don’t know either but I can’t wait for it to become terminal.

1. The chemicals from our doctors (including vaccinating with KNOWN neurotoxins, infants AND pregnant women).

2. The chemicals in our water supply – fluoride is KNOWN to slow down brain activity, as is chlorine and bromine.

3. The chemicals in our food and the fact that food that harms us has been scientifically altered to make us crave it.

4. Public schools.

5. The fact that we are under stress every minute of every day from every law, including those we don’t even know exists. It is no freaking wonder 25% of adults are on some kind of mind med.

All this chemical damage and constant, never ending, stress, has to be seen somewhere. See those pics? That is where it is most apparent, and, of course, the people of WallyMart.

Years and years ago, I was attending a big party (annual poker run with a small motorcycle club, attended by hundreds of bikers from around the country) and I overheard a young guy that I had gone to school with talking about getting a neck tattoo. This was decades before the current acceptance of tatts.

The small group was evaluating the different things he could get tatted on his neck. Wings, tribals, words like “fuck you.” I leaned in and said, ” just get ‘Unemployed,’ because that is exactly what will happen.”

Needless to say, my truth wasn’t welcomed.

Kokoda, your hatred of Muslims is over the top. Did you see the march that hundreds of Muslims made in London AGAINST the terrorism and murder a couple weeks back? Betcha’ didn’t as our MSM controllers WANT US to stay divided and scared. They feed off our (manufactured) hatred and fear. Way to go helping them out.

You too bb. Your version of God makes people just so the chosen can torture, kill and destroy. Makes a lot of freaking sense.

I find myself pondering, if when the Catholic Church/Christians were torturing and burning the non-converted, if the “pagans” hated the Christians as much as so many Americans hate the Muslims?

Bet they did.

Wake up and realize that we are being intentionally chemically lobotomized, that we are hated because we are a murderous regime hell bent on murdering and destroying others for greed and control, and realize that WE, us little people, ARE FEEDING IT with our misplaced hatred and fear of God’s creations.

Old habits die hard. And we create reality with our thoughts and actions.

Jesus said to love you enemies. 2000 years later and we still don’t truly understand what he was trying to tell us.

People do stoooopid things because it doesnt hurt them or cost them enough to not do it.

If people felt the brunt of their own stupidity the population would be a fraction of what it is today. The average TBP iq is probably a few standard deviations above the average out there among the mouth breathing masses. And the problem propagates, stupid people dont learn their lessons and they dont die, they then find other stupid people, accidently find the right hole on occasion and guarantee their generic code doesnt end with them.
the human race’s average intelligence suffers some amount because unfortunately they didnt die before procreating.

People get fat because they are never taught that their bodies simply cannot process all the sugars and starches, despite the fact that they ARE taught that their diet should consist of a majority of these foods that they cannot properly process.
