experiences with idiots (1 Viewer)

Im working on improving myself, including my bigotry. Cant a person get the benefit of the doubt and change or are they damned for eternity because they once had a narrow minded view?

It's pretty rare for a racist to come around. They may get better at hiding it but I'm not sure if any of them ever stop being racist. So excuse me if I don't change my opinion of your racism simply because you say you've changed.

Its been a lot longer than that but yes it will take time, and not just bigotry, I carry around a lot of hate and anger and for me to learn to deal with my depression I have to learn to let that anger go.

Even though you give me a hard time shiek I like you because you are fair with me and you are intelligent so obviously I was wrong about lumping all brown people together.

Im going to improve myself, and I have made significant progress since last time I was here. Soon im going to have a job, get myself a real home and start pursueing my dreams again. Im putting all the crap behind me, the drugs, the alcohol, the anger and the sadness.

Maybe my dreams wont come true but at least I wont have any regrets that I didnt try. I know I can change and ill prove it to you guys.

 

[Chaka]

So you're saying I shouldn't talk bad about a racist with a possible mental problem? Fair enough.

I have no sympathy for him. That's just me.

No that is not what I am saying at all and I think you know it.

When did you become so intransigent and unwilling to acknowledge that life is full of nuance?

I understand that life is full of nuances. But this is not one of those times. I'm sorry. I'm not mad at you and I apologize if it's coming off that way.

Never thought you were mad Sheik and certainly no need to apologize but thanks all the same.

 

[Chaka]

i feel bad that you have issues brohan and i hope you get through them and get better but when you were around here as dsp you were not excellent at all and i am not surprised that a lot of people will not give you the time of day as a result sometimes you have to sleep in the bed that you laid down in take that to the bank brochacho

This may be your best post ever.

Uh, once a person is identified as a racist they don't get to come back 2 months later and "rescind" their racism.

Exactly. He basically said he doesn't like my kind. But that's OK. Because he once dated a black chick. I should stop being mean to him, I guess.

I thought you were Turkish or Arabian or whatever.

All these responses speak to my point about having a complete lack of understanding about mental health issues. Sometimes it's not as easy as saying "suck it up".

Who said suck it up? Are you new here? Or are you unaware of MC's previous poster identities where he bragged about not needing to work because he got money deposited in his account for doing nothing (government assistance)? I have experience with people that have mental health issues and if they collect some form of assistance they don't brag about it. In fact, they say they wish they could get a job and bemoan the fact they are unable to work.

 

[northern exposure]

Everyone twists everything I say. Im not content and I never was. Tried well over a dozen different jobs and they didnt suit me. If im not happy with the job after a few months I wind up having a nervous breakdown and I either doing drugs or wind up in the hospital.

I chose driving because that is one of the few things I enjoyed doing for work and the school is looking for me.

And stop turning all my threads in to discussions of my disability.

You're lazy. That's what you mean.

Maybe. He might be lazy. He also might not be lazy. For example, a person with aspergers can have a nervous breakdown attempting to do a job not suited for the way an asperbergs mind works. It's really no different than left handed minded people shouldn't be doing a job with equipment designed for right handed people. How the mind of the worker is wired isn't suited for that job. It's not that their lazy.

Fine I can accept your premise and agree people can be not suited to certain jobs. I can also agree that it could lead to a nervous breakdown. But saying having certain jobs causes you to do drugs? I'm not buying it.

If MC came back as DSP and said "Hey guys I'm back and don't judge me based on my previous posts because I'm a changed man" he would probably get a chance to prove it from most posters. Instead he comes back as MC Gas Money and denies being previously known as DSP when he's called on it. He's done this multiple times, so kind of difficult to take him at his word , you know?

The job is not the only factor and rarely the biggest. Its outside stresses that can cause poor performamce. Before the breakdown 2 years ago I was making a very good living, at least by my standardds, as a waiter at a very nice restaurant. I was financially secure enough to get married, and when I did I finally that I had overcome everything and found happiness.

After I learned of her infidelity so shortly after the wedding everything good inside me just crumbled.

I didnt sleep or eat for the first four days, and could barely sleep after thatband my work performance slipped. I had been clean for almost two years but started smoking crack again before work and was sniffing coke during my shifts for energy. I would also sniff heroin during my shift so I wouldnt appear jittery.

Shortly I started smoking crack all night after my late shifts and go in the next day on 2-3 hours sleep and kept using drugs to keep up. On my days off I would drink excessively to manage a decent long sleep.

I kept this up for almost four months until one day I completely snapped from paranoia and fear. I was seeing, hearing and smelling things that werent there. I called ambulance and spent almost 2 weeks in a psyche ward. When I was released I had been fired for dissapearing and now could not pay my rent. I got so scared from being threatened with eviction and not wanting to have anotjer breakdown I left and wound up where I am now.

The job wasnt what drove me crazy, everything around me led to a collapse from trying to keep my job which I did enjoy. Although in the past I did find most jobs overwhelming to the point I had to quit despite the consequences of doing so. Its difficult to hold a job when you have chronic insomnia and anxiety and that leads to deep depression.

Besides the 2 1/2 years at the mechanic shop as a teen before I got worse since then I havent been able to hold a job for more than 9 or 10 months. Often no more than 3. After years of failing to make a living long term I lost hope and confidence in myself that I could do it. I felt it was pointless to even look for a job knowing id lose it quickly and be back at square one.

After a while I grew afraid to improve my life because I didnt want to go through losing everything time and time again. I felt is was safer to just remain poor.

Actually i dont ...i have no history with him...so honestly i may be talking out of turn...all i know is i see him posting that hes sorry and trying to better himself. Is that a pattern with him ? He does seem to bring a lot of attention to himself with his responses to certain posts,he seems to play the victim at times...some self pity . He seems to take most comments very personally but at the same time seems contrite . If he trying to turn over a new leaf shouldnt he at least be given a chance?

I never wanted pity. Ive messed up here in the past but I just want to be a better person. I dont have a relationship with my family or any close friends. My gf loves me too much to push me to be a better person because she thinks im perfect the way I am.

FBG is my social life. This community is the only thing I can try to change for and make proud of me. To most that sounds pathetic and crazy, and maybe it is, but it is honestly how I feel.

I have no recollection of you being banned. I do remember you asking the mods to block your username and IP address so you couldn't access the site even if you wanted to.

That is not me. I have never posted on those boards. Lots of people post there and here and its just someone making fun of me.

I would never post there. When someone suggested it to me I read some of the board and I didnt find it interesting.

I swear on the lives of the two most important people important to me, my sister and my girlfriendb, that it is not me.

You know there are people who would do something like that to makr fun of someone or to discredit them.

 

[MC Gas Money]

There is no way I ever said on here that I was posting on that board.

If you want me to openly admit who I am to prove I was not posting on those boards I will.

I USED TO BE DSP 6 MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!!

I hope I dont get banned again but I truly am not that giantsfan person.

You should at least know i would not pick such a generic name

Fine I can accept your premise and agree people can be not suited to certain jobs. I can also agree that it could lead to a nervous breakdown. But saying having certain jobs causes you to do drugs? I'm not buying it.

The job isn't a direct connection to the desire to do drugs. It's a specific state of mind that directly links to one's desire to do drugs. Many things could put someone in that specific state of mind. An argument with their significant other could do it. A loss of a loved one. Etc, etc.... A misfitted job is just one example of something that can put such a person in that specific state of mind. And that specific state of mind is so uncomfortable to them that they just want to escape it, and drugs offers that escape.

Look, I'm not excusing the behavior. I'm just explaining the process. "Normal" people don't question at all how our world functions, because the world is designed for "normal" people. But not everyone is wired to live the way the world functions. Some people call such people "mentally ill". But I don't like that title. It would be like calling a left handed person "mentally ill" because their mind doesn't prefer the right hand like "normal" people do. Their minds are just wired different. And that unique wiring can produce some incredible talents if somehow they finally get to somewhere in the world where their talent can be harnessed. Unfortunately most get lost in a world not designed for them, bouncing around as they try to fit in and be like everyone else even though they are not. Many of them end up homeless or in special homes because "normal" people just don't know how to deal with them and don't understand why they just don't conform to the "normal" world. It's not a life anyone would consciously chose to live.

Plenty of people are telling him to 'suck it up' if not in so many words.

MCs previous identities don't do much to support the argument that he doesn't have mental health issues.

MC has been bemoaining the fact that he is unable to work, while also working hauling trash all week.

I hope your experience with people who have mental health issues has taught you that they are, y'know, not all the same.

 

[Chaka]

I completely understand the fact that DSP d####ed it up in here, and I understand if you guys don't like him because of that fact. If you guys want to hold onto those things and choose to not give him a second chance (or a third or a fourth) then I completely support that decision. However, instead of simply ignoring him it seems like a few of you won't be happy until you convince everyone else to agree with your position about the him. That is what I have trouble with.

And FTR I am not a huge fan of MC either, I love his comics, but the way he initially presented himself in the "girlfriend's mother's cooking" thread was pretty low class. I thought it was fishing for a long time, now after reading a bunch of his posts I think he may be sincere and have some serious, potentially debilitating, mental issues. I am not going to make fun of a person like that or try to poison others against him.

I do wish he would focus more on his drawing in his comics thread, because that seems to make him happy and provide the positive reinforcement he desires. But it is up to him how he wants to try and be a part of our society in here.

The bolded is why I am making a conscious effort to disengage. The things I would like to say are all negative and he clearly has some kind of odd attachment to this place and takes everything way too seriously.

I don't understand why he's still here and I believe he'll be gone soon anyway, and I believe that will be in his best interests. I hope he gets help and can eventually have a fulfilling life, or failing that, I hope he doesn't breed.

I think people deserve second chances. I would not feel entitled to a third or fourth.

I am not proud of a lot of things I have said on these boards. Some of it is due to me just being honest about my thoughts even when they may be offensive. Some because I am impulsive and say things which I tend to regret right after saying them ( and I choose not to delete them because I would not be able to do so in real life and I must suffer the backlash). Some because I was angered and wanted to be inflammatory. Some because im just crazy and some because I can occasionally be a jerk.

I wont adress them all specifically except one.

It was wrong of me to brag about recieving SSI. That was purely to be inflammatory because several people angered me. I am not at all happy about recieving benefits and I greatly desire to work and lead a better life. I am trying to find a career that fits.

There is always a job out there to suit any disabled person. They have a more limited pool and it is more difficult to find the right fit. Every person disabled or not is simply not suited for certain things. Im sure just about everyone here has had a job that was just completely wrong for them.

Every one of us is a jerk at times, or we say something ignorant or just plain stupid. There are many bad feelings I have that my rational brain knows I shouldnt have but are present none the less.

I do apologize to anyone I offended. I also apologize for anything I said that was just plain stupid. I really am trying to be a better person and a lot of my experiences on these boards help me guage my strengths and weaknesses. The FFA is the only socializing available to me right now. I do not have any peers I can interact with personally.

I came back now to use my second chance and create something positive from it. I think I have made progress though I am still far from completing that journey. Many have been helpful this time around and I thank you and I hope in the future I can change the opinion of those who have good reason to dislike me.

I have a lot of crazy in me that im trying to overcome and I truly intend to do so. I hope everyone can be understanding of that. My dream is to one day have an artistic impact on the world and enough success that I can help other people in ways that I never recieved.

Thank you. I hope some people are now able to understand and not be so hateful of the people struggling for being born different

His point if I read it right was someone without a job, health insurance, a home, etc. etc. shouldn't have children as they have no means of supporting a family.

Not "you" shouldn't have children, but you shouldn't have children if you don't get your #### together.

 

[MC Gas Money]

I find it amazing that people would use terms such as "disengage" as if im some sort of malfunctioning object and not a human being.

It is sadly typical that people dehumanize the mentally ill.

I think some of you are taking everything around me on these boards way to seriously. Im just a person on a message, not a raving lunatic on the subway that you have to be afraid of.

I dont know how I could have such an impact. People are talking like m some sort of alien that landed on earth and they are shocked and amazed by such an odd being.

Its bizarre how deeply I seem to have affected some of you. That was never my intention. I am not as different from you as I may seem. I am not so radicly different from most people except that I have a very vivid imagination, offbeat sense of humor and have more negative emotions.

Im not a monster

And FTR I am not a huge fan of MC either, I love his comics, but the way he initially presented himself in the "girlfriend's mother's cooking" thread was pretty low class. I thought it was fishing for a long time, now after reading a bunch of his posts I think he may be sincere and have some serious, potentially debilitating, mental issues. I am not going to make fun of a person like that or try to poison others against him.

The bolded is why I am making a conscious effort to disengage. The things I would like to say are all negative and he clearly has some kind of odd attachment to this place and takes everything way too seriously. I don't understand why he's still here and I believe he'll be gone soon anyway, and I believe that will be in his best interests. I hope he gets help and can eventually have a fulfilling life, or failing that, I hope he doesn't breed.

That is exceptionally mean, especially to say that because someone has mental/emotional issues that they should not be allowed to have children. That is nazi eugenics.You have no right to pass that sort of judgement and nobodies DNA including yours is perfect

His point if I read it right was someone without a job, health insurance, a home, etc. etc. shouldn't have children as they have no means of supporting a family.Not "you" shouldn't have children, but you shouldn't have children if you don't get your #### together.

I am not irresponsible enough to bring a child in to the world right now or if ever.

The rest of his post was very dehumazing though. It felt like something you would say to another person about a caged animal they were studying

Let it go. It was just a comment by some guy on a message board, which you just said is how you want to be viewed by others.

Draw some comics. Heck draw anything, that seems to take you to your happy place.

Reread the last 5 words of his second sentence in bold... I get #### from enough people on this board, it doesn't bother me in the slightest, in fact I find it humorous.I, an internet message board might not be best for you if you are going to be offended this easily

I agree I need to stop taking it so seriously. Im not taking it nearly as seriously as 6 months ago. Im still working on it.

BTW I sent you a pm last night. Did you not read it or did you choose to ignore it?

In all seriousness, an internet message board might not be best for you if you are going to be offended this easily, or maybe just stay within your drawing thread if that gives you relief from your day.

It's ironic that DSP starts a thread about experiences with idiots and quickly becomes the topic of conversation. Or is it foreshadowing?

When someone who is unemployed, brags about their 176 IQ, & currently living off the government starts a thread about "idiots", it doesn't take someone with an IQ of 176 to see where it will go. That is all for me in this one. GL with the muffin thread, I like banana crumb & choc chip.

Your doin it wrong. Also I would advise that the way you talk about other people says a lot more about you.

I adressed some of these points earlier so this isnt entirely accurate.

I was never bragging about my IQ. Its actually a horrible thing to be that high. Id rather be average and have an easier life

Talk about who? The guy in my OP?

Ok...I'll bite....why do you think your life would be easier with a lower IQ?

I wouldnt see things around me in such detail, I would be able to focus and concentrate much better, I would probably be able to enjoy many things much more and not be so discerning.

It just makes me so jaded and I cant appreciate the simple things in life. Every little idea I have spirals out of control to a point that can never realistically be achieved.

Overall I would feel much more in control
