    I have serious difficulty with empathy, actually, but logically I figured something out as a little kid.

    I found a toad once when I was like 3, was the first one I'd ever seen, I couldn't figure out why this little rock looking thing kept moving, so I did what I do with interesting little machines.

    I took it apart, unfortunately when I broke it, I couldn't make it work again. I put it all back together in the right arrangement, closed it up, even set it so it looked like it did when I first found it, but it wouldn't move anymore.

    I would have preferred the toad to have kept on working, and felt remorse that I couldn't fix it. After reading up on biology some more, I couldn't figure out exactly why living creatures have a certain "void if broken" quality, but I knew I had more in common with the toad than a watch, and shouldn't take anything apart that is living.


    I lack empathy, but I recognize logically that other life forms have a general goal: to stay alive, so I don't kill shit.

    If you can't empathize with an animal, at least you can recognize that if given the choice, it would obviously pick life.

    Why does Max™ feel the need to remind people with every post he makes that he's a bit weird or that he likes maths? Protip for people over the age of 14 who still haven't figured it out: blatantly highlighting your own eccentricities makes you look like a massively pretentious twat.

    Why do you feel the need to constantly pay attention to every post I make where I point out something weird to provide an example for a particular situation?


    In this case, the example of lacking empathy, while still deciding that killing is bad, and wrong... badong even, was the point.

    Way to miss it and jump on the "OMG MAX, WHY YOU GOTTA ACT LIKE YOU DUDE, WTF, IT'S LIKE I TOTALLY NEVER NOTICED BEFORE THAT YOU'RE A CUNT OR ANYTHING, IF I DIDN'T HATE YOU SO MUCH I'D WANNA BOUNCE MY ASS OFF YOUR HIPS" bandwagon, bud.

    Hint: for all of the honest posts like this one about the killing things, I make just as many posts playing it for laughs, I hope it's amusing to others, because I get a chuckle out of it.

    Except that General is probably the forum I browse the least out of any of the major ones besides Spam, hence I've never seen anyone else post those sentiments before, so it's not a case of bandwagoning. You have close to 10,000 posts, so me having seen the odd one and getting the distinct impression from nearly all of them that you're pretentious hardly constitutes me "constantly paying attention to every post you make".

    In General's defense, the thread went into full blown retard mode when arguments with a poster from Advance and Spam started. Just sayin...

    But that is why animal cruelty threads are always so interesting. They bring out all the different types of people. They are like a religion thread. They draw everyone out of the woodwork to troll/argue/discuss.

    You always have extremes on either side.

    Edit: I am sure Day will have some direct personal insult that has nothing to do with the thread or anything I posted.

    Most of my posts were in the FFXI section, then General, and of all of those you take the few you admit to having seen as an example that all of my posts are the same way.

    Sounds like you've done pretty thorough research, so what do you prescribe, belgian, or scandinavian?


    Btw, I'm not even talking about being HFA here, lacking empathy is common but not an absolute factor, so making that connection is like tying my having freckles to autism, bright eyes.

    They'll prescribe "omgadvance/spamistehbest!" pill while they simultaneously make a thread in their respective forums on how their feelings were hurt.

    True Story.

    Yes Spam, or any other forum, is a unique snowflake on which everyone has homed their hatred towards. God forbid people just hate retarded posts/posters on threads posting irrelevant/stupid shit. Misery loves company etc...

    It's ok. You aren't the only one. Some A+ trolling in this thread.

    This reminds me of why I adore BG. I'd like to bake cookies for all of you.

    Yeah like I said before threads about animal cruelty are as bad as threads about religion they turn to shit on the first page.

    Doesn't make it any less entertaining though.

    That was kinda my point from a different angle. Stupid posts in a thread that attracts stupid posts are still stupid.

    But like you said, shit's still entertaining. Just corny when people try to rep certain forums all of a sudden lmao.
