Space,

No, you're delusional like a lot of people here. People here are much more delusional, in one way or the other, than the average person.

PH,

I still say there's nothing wrong in it. Being normal is totally overrated. What does it mean indeed? To obey the general 'rules' of society in terms of what you are supposed to think, feel and do? Bullshit. How about do what you want, think what you want, feel what you want? If you want to be ****ed up, move to Japan and auto-oppress yourself and sniff panties on weekly basis.

No... that's not it. You want to express yourself. If someone doesnt' like it, well that's their problem. 'you are not being normal, you are not what I'm used to!'. So? I take that as a compliment. I don't want to be something x or y, I just am and that's ok, as long as I'm not messing with anyones game, it's all good and I can do it.

If you are 'normal', then you are boring. Period. You have the same patterns as everyone else. It's ingenius if you ask me, what's the point. Besides, personally, I have no problems with anything, I am socially acceptable and accepted, I have no problems in public, and I'm not THAT weird outside anyway. But outside that, I don't have to go by the rules. So, normal people are limited where as weird people are not limited. It's freedom. I'd rather be free and choose every day, different things, do different stuff, scream, shout, ****, eat, **** and name my underwear what ever the hell I want to call them... and talk about it. There's nothing anyoen can do about it, except think it's a good or bad idea, but other than that... it's just not my problem and like I said, the longer you obsess it, the bigger problem you have. If you want to be society general rules police, well, you have to be faster to catch me.

and auto-oppression is fun. It lets your deviancies simmer and stew over until they become obsessions so twisted and amazingly cool that you want to use your tentacles--

yeah exactly but... if someone likes that, it would be hypocritical me to say it's not ok. I say go for it... or if someone is painfully normal by nature.. hey that's ok too. But I wouldn't go on denying myself or go against my nature to be someone else. That's just BS. If someone truly has a problem with it, you can punch their bellies.

I don't need to defend anything. Go on boys.. I'm the matador and you are the audience going 'ooooh!'.. I mean, you are the ones hearing about it from radio in the parking lot outside the arena since you couldn't get seats. Ole!

Put an end to popups!

space:

I have a neighbor back at home in Atlanta who consistently buys goats because she doesn't want to mow her lawn. She then proceeds not to feed the goat, let it loose, and then have it taken away by animal services because you can't have goats where we are, since we're not in a friggin' rural area.

If she were fabulously wealthy, she'd still be batshit crazy, but we'd all be polite and call her eccentric because we want to be nice to the richers.

'Cept, she's not rich, and therefore, we don't need to make nice. Which is why we call her batshit ****in' crazy.

Tired of ads?

See that's where you are wrong. Self respect has nothing to do with it. People who have no self respect are losers. If they don't like themselves, who will? Of course I'm not the best person to talk about that since I tend to overshoot on that regard .

But hey when you do something, go hard!
