This shit is a dystopia.I live day by day in hell.
Yeah you're life is hell.

Their life is hell, a product of the dystopia.
A lot of people have it good, sure...in the end their not progressive, they're detrimental to society just by hogging up the resources...in a miserably failed system that allows such things.
Complaining aside, in your attempt to exploit my lack of character, you helped prove my point.
Call me names, your perspective is meaningless to me.

There life is hell, just like your life is hell? Or is your hell better than theirs'?
Why is it about me?
My argument was for the dystopia, you're grasping at the tenacity of a trained psycho-analyst (judgmental person). In doing so you're shutting off the bulk of the argument.
How human.

Your comfortable Western hell, or their starving third world hell?
What an edged question. You've already made up your mind. In such a question the answer is obvious. It's a rhetorical insult. You've made up your mind and are using the question against me.
Leave. Vomos. Shew fly.

Well I'd say 'comfort' beats 'starvation' any day.
What, you want me to concede SOMEONE SOMEWHERE has it worse than me? I only have experienced my life, the quality of another's life is beyond my knowledge.
Lord Lucien, the usurper of threads via derailment. I hate this ugly page, it contributes nothing on-topic. It's like a sore thumb. Thanks for that Lucien. Now get gone.

Edit: About a year or two ago, when I thought I understood existentialism, I told myself that I lived in a state of suffering and constant fear as a way of dramatizing my existence. I think that's what Dolos is doing here.
Originally posted by DolosI have. Your overinflated opinion of your intelligence and personal worth has contrasted sharply with the sheer drudgery of your every day life and the world around you, leaving you bitter about not getting what you think you ought to have. Typical of a human you exaggerate your situation as synonymous with something grander--"hell" in this case. In your sad lament you avoid introspective reflection that would otherwise oust as you as the terribly average creature you are, and instead you chastise the society that you think has wronged you--from birth, apparently-- as "shit", "rancid piles of filth" and "dystopic". The parting disclaimer you left doing little to hide your selfish, unjustified ego and your almost complete lack of awareness or empathy.
I've reported Omega Vision.Stay on topic Lucien.
Or is that just a character you play?

So according to you the ability to freely abuse the laws of physics is a proof of intelligence and the ability to refrain from abusing them is not? This is a part of the equation I quite don't understand. Why is it more intelligent to devolve into whim machines?
Originally posted by Omega VisionI'm going with the latter. He puts a lot of thought and time in to his posts. Too much to just be f*cking around trolling. I'm guessing he's in his late teens/early twenties, going through a phase of intellectual discovery and trying to prove it. It's why his posts read like ego-driven boasts.
I can't tell with Dolos. Sometimes I think he's just a troll, because a lot of the time when he gets cornered in a debate he'll back down and say "ha, no I wasn't serious" or something to that effect. But then I also wonder if those aren't just dodges, and he's the sort of person who'll disavow their own position to attempt to save face when their arguments fail.
Again, off-topic. Again, irrelevant. Again.
I made one brief off-topic addendum, sure it pissed off a bunch of melodramatic (in Omega's case) out of shape computer nerd-looking whiteys, but one brief off-topic offensive addendum does not give all of you the grounds to troll incessantly when idiots like Lucien are so easy to offend and so effing out of their ass with made up judgmental remarks. Just shut up.
