The only thing you dicks accomplished (which is a stretch of the word, reading old posts was by no means clever or innovative) was cockblock me out of the hardcore raiding scene, which I should actually probably thank you for, because while you turds are shitting in socks, exploiting pathing, talking shit ingame and on the forums about everyone who calls you out for being said turds, losing your jobs, alienating your families and friends, freaking out over loot that will be obselete in 6 months, cheating and scamming each other, and generally fulfilling the stereotype of the hardcore gamer, the rest of us are actually ENJOYING logging in and playing.

Just because I dont share your same views makes me so terrbile! Sorry Im not a sheep, I dont feel the way people "think" you should feel about things. Once you learn that not everyone has to share the same views as everyone else maybe you can enjoy life.

Using the term "I don't share your same views" to sum up your opinion that the United States should "get over it [the terrorist attacks and senseless deaths of 2,976 innocent people on 9/11]" and that you have

only helps to prove just how shallow and empty a human being you must actually be. It's not my views you're not sharing, it's the views of most human beings not just Americans who are able to produce a shred of empathy for their fellow man. The Armenian Genocide took place nearly a century ago, in a place on the opposite side of the globe, yet when I read the news or meet someone who recognizes the events that took place and mourns the unnecessary losses I feel genuine emotion and sorrow for what happened to those people for no reason. It's called empathy, not a differing viewpoint or opinion. Empathy is a base human ability to share and understand another person's condition, not merely shrug it off since it has nothing to do with you. The fact that you exhibit such a callous disregard for human life, let alone the actual feelings of another human being is what makes you an absolutely horrible person not just someone with a differing viewpoint.

See this is where you fail horribly. If you actually read my post, I said it was a sad day, so trying to call me out on being a "shallow" person is invalid. IT was a sad day, but to say you actually care about those people is a lie. Did you go out of your way to make sure every family had what they needed or call them and say youre sorry? Doubt it. I doubt youve even talked to 1 single person thats lost a person in the attack. So to say you care about those people other than feeling sad for them, as I said I felt, you are lying to yourself.

Keep trying, Kraft, maybe one day you can convince me youre a better person than I or even convince yourself that people actually give 2 rats asses about what you have to say.

It's a very, very rare thing for a human being to care about the billions of people they've never met. Phallax isn't terribly misanthropic by making that comment, in my opinion - the majority of the world shares the same belief.

Would the world be a better place for humanity if empathy towards strangers was a more widespread behavior? Certainly. Maybe in a few thousand years.

As for the three thousand lost souls in the towers? Mourn them, but after a time it's best to let them go. Holding onto the dead haunts a person after awhile, pun intended.

I just said the same thing Phallax did, but without that special edge he uses to tear jagged holes in other peoples' sensitivities.

I'm saying he's crude and a bit self-centered, not an internet monster.

See this is whay I love you, my Humwawa.

I dont consider myself self centered, crude for sure, but thats life. Being crude is life, I dont know a single person on this shard RL so I dont see any reason to make them think Im the best person in the world with how I feel about or view things.

Im actually a fairly good person for the most part. Take care of my family, help friends and family when they ask for it, hell Ive even donated to some various charities when I could, Im not the richest SOB so I cant give thousands, but I do donate when I feel I can spare it and not hurt my families needs.

I also dont take the time to make my posts look like im the most intelligent person, mainly just because writing posts shorthand is alot quicker and internet friendly. I dont really care what anyone on the interwebs thinks of me, thats what makes its so easy to play game and post what I do.

We are all self-centered. It isn't an insult.

Well sure, to a certain extent. Online for sure, RL not so much.

Being self-interested is an important trait of humanity. There's an evil in altruism if it is used as a weapon against people who you think "aren't altruistic enough." It's a common argument against people who are simply stating facts and explaining reality.

We should be more concerned about those close to us than those who aren't - if no other reason because we can only be equitable to the people we interact with if we limit that scope. If we assume it is our responsibility to "care" or "be more empathetic to everyone in the world," we end up strangling ourselves by trying to go out and find every tragedy at which to cry every day of our life. There's enough evil in the world to keep us occupied forever.

It's far wiser to find a close group of friends and family and do what you can within that scope. Human beings are far more effective at being "empathetic" to their close associations than they are to everyone else around the world, and rightly so - should I sacrifice my family to go "be empathetic" about someone 10,000 miles away? Sure, I care about that person as a human being, but my efforts, emotion, and passion must be directed closeby, where it actually has potency.

How can I call someone else a shallow human being simply because I am not within their scope of intimate fellowship? That doesn't mean I can't be charitable or friendly with them. It just means I do not deal as closely with them as I would, say, a friend i've known and closely interacted with for 10+ years, and rightly so. Just a fact of human relationship.
