You cant just throw in Haiti! What the hell, Nik! You didnt write that!

THAT'S THE JOKE. Well done, you took it literally. why is it that when i make a thread like this most people get it and can understand the tone and actually post replies worth reading but there are a certain few who come in grumbling and moaning about the fact that the post is so long and then have to throw the obligatory hissy fit about how they can't deal with a long unparagraphed post for some reason as if their 'i didn't read it' wit is so interesting and necessary everytime. it's just a rant off the top of my head, if you don't like it i could possibly try to care but i think i might fail. why don't you get over yourselves you whiny fucks. if your delicate sensibilities are so very offended by long unparagraphed posts then don't fucking read them instead of complaining about it every single time because you have absolutely nothing else to say. do you think you are being clever by showing distaste at the lack of coherence and clarity of a rant i posted without reading back off the top of my head?

Heres my take. I had the impression that the post might have been made to rile people up, but I dont really ever find it worth any energy to just whine about that as a point. Your posts tend to be pretty well thought out and thats why this more steam-of-angry-consciousness post stood out. I read it, and it made me think. It made me think, even if if was just a balls-out flail, why IS IT that environmental protection is so important? Forgive my sounding retarded.

I dont know if at this point I want to actually give my personal views, even if that might have been your point, I feel like the discussion is beyond that now, so I feel timid.

That hobo-dog love picture is wonderful.

tl;dr

sorry i wasn't aiming that previous post at you whatsoever and have no probs with what you said. very few of my posts are ever well thought out for more than a few seconds but you get points for flattery.

There was an interesting article I read a little while ago from a neurologist who studied monkey brains and came to the conclusion that there is a direct relation between the size of a certain part of the brain and the size that a group of that species of monkey would be. This was dubbed the 'monkeysphere.' Eventually these guys got pretty good at determining the size of various spheres for the autopsy of a brain.

Soon after, somebody slipped them a human brain and they came to the conclusion that the monkeyshere for humans is around 150 individuals. That is to say, we are capable of recognizing 150 people as people before we begin to recognize people as an object of a particular means. Of course this is a big number and we all interweave as to be on large lonely crowd. However, to come to the point, this recognition that our ability to empathize and humanize is limited makes the idea of an ecological respect for nature daunting. I can barely give a fuck about my garbage man beyond 'that thing that makes my garbage disappear' without being forced to reflect on him.

your very boring. please go away.

Do you know the name of the article, what it was published in, or the name of the author? I would like to read it.

Can I call you ladyboy? That was the least masculine reply ever, I can just picture you weeping like an old woman who's pension has been snatched off her hands when she stepped out of the post office. Are you a ladyanimal?

I remember, it's pretty much the only really intellectually-stimulating article I've read from Cracked.

well because I could gather the general tone and theme of your entire post from the title and skimming the massive chunk of text. Honestly there wasn't that much more in there for me to find, after I ended up reading it all, a day later.

and, I don't know. Do you think you are being clever, posting so much drivel off the top of your head?

this is what happens when you try to quit smoking.

you make giant diarrhea-worthy posts with no discernable paragraphs and expect people to 1) read, 2) percieve "tone" (lol Internet newbies - tone never works) and 3) not think yr an idiot.

it never works. that's why I refuse to quit smoking.

ps: jokers fail at joking when they have to explain that "it's a joke".

that's what I was thinking: does it have something to do with quitting smoking?

then I won't. I mean, I'm sort of expecting it to be one of those "twisted humour" things gone wrong. Because... if anyone actually thinks any of that, I don't know what to say.

I´m actually haunted now. I´m afraid someone next to me on the train will be thinking "why do we need panda bears", "why do we need to preserve nature?". Nothing that wrong with the question itself, but not finding an answer in 2 seconds is quite worrying.

If we didn't have animals, we may have never had Animal Collective. Five years ago, I might have joined PETA for this reason. I'm a bit more apathetic about it now.

Shall we?

i just can't fuck animals cause i love them.

the best fuck animal? the badger.

lol did they really have to use

Thanks dude! You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to pbradley again.
