Ute vs Roo

[den]

Dad hit a kangaroo on the way home. The roo was a big male, about 7 feet tall. Mum and Dad are lucky the animal bounced right over the top and didn't come through the windscreen.

They're okay, but the ute and the kangaroo are totalled.









Well, bugger. But the company needed a new truck anyway. Now the accountant will let us buy it.

I do not have a grandiose sense of self worth, so strike 1.
I do not have the right yto live more than anyone else, so that's strike 2
I do have a guilt and remorse, so that's strike 3
I've applauded Den for his efforts in protecting the animals in Australia, so I am not shallow.
I am not callous and non empathetic, so you're just good at giving blame yet can't take it.
I am enrolled in College so I need a job that will help pay the bills, and in case you've not noticed alot of people are worin fields they didn't plan on thanks to Bush. I know Network Admins who are now having to work at a wal-mart and deliver pizza to barely make ends meet.
my long term goals are to get a degree in paleontology, and maybe astronomy, so I do have realistic goals.
I do accept responsibility for my actions, if I make a mistake, I admit it and accept the blame, but I do get pissed if I am right and I am not given the acknowledgement.

so let's see, you like to think you're better than yourself, by trying to say your lifestyle is better, and deriding those who's lifestyle isn't like yours, hmmm, sounds familiar, sounds like something a certain person named Hitler used to use.

*laughs* Aww, he invoked Godwin's Law. Isn't that cute?

I think far more people will agree with my assessment than wouldn't -- but then, you can't have the psychos -- or socipaths -- diagnosing themselves, can you?

I don't think I'm better than myself, if that's what you meant. I recognize my failings. Unlike you. You feel you're worth more than everyone else, whilst not contributing much to society. You evidently do feel you have more of a right to live than anyone else, or else you'd've followed up your convictions with a suicide. You do not have guilt and remorse, or else you'd've apologized to Den. You are shallow, because you're utterly incapable of truly empathizing with anyone who you consider to be lower than you are -- which is pretty much everyone. Being in college is irrelevant; at your age, if you had any useful skills and a will to exploit them, you could certainly do better than a soul-killing, low-wage, worse-than-no-benefits job at a corporation which epitomizes everything I would think you hate. Your long-term goals ... well, with someone who claims to have such empathy for animals and ecology, I'd kind of expect something that would actually help change the world for the better. Good for you, though. And you certainly haven't acknowledged what an utter bastard you were a few posts back.

I only deride those whose lifestyle isn't like mine when mine -is- better, and, frankly, my lifestyle is likely much the same as yours -- except I'm not a psychological plague and a social black hole.

And, again, if you think that you don't have any more right to live than everyone else, and that all humans should die, why don't you follow that little logical train off its cliff?

A greek philosopher said that men who live without other men are gods or demons. I'll go with the latter option, here.
