Some days I wake up and I'm excited to see customers or interact with my friends. Other days I wake up and people are a monumental waste of time, existing only to impede my personal existence in really effing annoying ways, like today. What is your personal view of the rest of the bipedal occupants of this god-forsaken rock?

About 2-3 inches, on average. That's including people from the Marketing department.

I still have a problem recognizing others have a right to exist. I'll get to mere disdain in a couple of centuries.

It varies from day to day actually ( sometimes hour to hour)...
And often depends on exactly who I'm having to interact with.
If I'm at a "social gathering"..I, in general, get on fairly well with others...unless circumstances dictate otherwise.
If I'm stuck in traffic or in a shopping center....or forced to listen to some inane babble....then I tend to start fantasizing about people around me dropping dead....or zombies...lots and lots of zombies.

I like my 'me' time but I wouldn't say I have a disdain for humanity. Or maybe me liking my 'me' time is passive aggressive disdain...

I hate humanity sometimes, being so hypocritical about things. BAH!
But I love humanity sometimes especially when we talk about alien races most notably smurfs. Brings out an old racism inside everyone

I work in insurance.

People are scum.

For the most part I have a positive view towards people.

After working at a camp, I have realized that I NEVER WANT KIDS.

So yeah, Humanity sucks, etc.

Depends on the person.

I love everyone!

I dislike the majority of people on this planet, and I am almost positive that the majority of people on this planet dislike me.

Sometimes acts that increase my faith in humanity occur, but they're often overshadow by the myriad others which decrease it.

People who take offence on someone else's behalf, for example, really piss me off. I shouldn't have to monitor what I say outside my house on the off chance that some gakker on this overpopulated rock thinks "My friend wouldn't like that, i'll tell him to shut up." or "How dare he hold that opinion, I shall lecture him on the error of his ways, using only the information I gathered from eavesdropping on his conversation."

If only you could legally punch someone who was that far up their own arse, but unfortunately, that usually means you're psychopathic and you need 'treatment', despite rage and anger being perfectly valid human emotions brought on by the spewing of gobgak from the mouth of Sir High'n'Mighty atop his high horse.

This is how I feel.

On the internet: Quite high.

IRL: Not as high, as people tend to be more understanding in person.

Sometimes I just want to burn cities to the ground.
Other times I want stay at home and just be alone
And the rest of the time Im kindda in the middle

Pretty deep. I don't like people (in a general sense as a group). Individual people I have an easier time with.

You work in claims don't you?

It varies from day to day, sometimes I sit down and watch the news and loose all respect for the human race...

And sometimes I go volunteer with friends and I can see some good in all of us...

it really depends on what I'm looking at.

i separate people into two sections : general (stupid) public and smart individuals.

i once watched a vid of pair of thugs robbing a jewelry store in broad daylight in a busy street. one man stood in their way and tried to stop them, this man goes into smart individuals.
about 30-40 people are gathered around, watching this unfold, not doing a single thing to intervene in the beating of a man who has just tried to defend the law and justice. these people get put into general (stupid) public. one person tries to get out of this section by doing a kick to one of the robbers, he slips, decides its too much for his ego to bear and runs back to the crowd.
the robbers get away, the defiant man is badly beaten, and the crowd just starts mulling off, not even giving the wounded man even a hint of attention.

this is why i despise humanity in general. because one man can stand up to the evil, but the rest just dont want to get involved, lest they get sued or something. and even if he suceeds in standing up against it, there is always some way he gets torn down. like the man who defends his home can be prosecuted if any harm comes to the attackers. that sort of stuff makes me want to kill a lawyer or two.

I'm a maintenance person at a supermarket, I clean gak off the floors, I clean gak off the walls, the tvs are stuck on HLN so I constantly here about crap going on around the world. My fellow employees in the food court treat me like gak, I'm waiting in front of a counter for 5min out of a 15min break and sometimes they have a customer behind me go first. One manager keeps bumming cash or food off of me even thou he has 2 sports cars and a motorcycle, the one time I said no to him for the snacks he wrote me for insubordination.
So I basically have a constant hatred for humanity in general.

You can't go to a.... someone, higher above him?

Because quite frankly, I would raise a singluarily expressive digit to him.....



Pretty deep, here. Having to listen to one coworker go on about how great Germany is compared to the U.S., how ignorant Other Coworker is by not wanting to visit Germany, how much better behaved the kids are in Germany, Something Something Something Dark Si-Germany. It's rediculous.

Not to mention the fact that a 17 year old who has worked at work for a week tried to tell me how to do my job (worked there for a year), and when I tell him off for it he goes to the manager. I FRIGGIN TOLD HIM HOW TO DO HIS JOB, I KNOW HOW TO DO MY BLOODY OWN!

Not to mention that, since I don't stare at every womans ass at work, coworkers and customers alike, that some how makes me gay....

Oh, and lets not forget the fact that you can buy $6 beef jerky, put your name on it, and STILL have it eaten by other people in fifteen minutes.

And then College. Oh boy, College. One place I can apply to treats me like a statistic, another one literally costs me an arm and a leg OR a career in prostitution in order to pay for it, and the last is sending me letters from the Student Body signed by "A Member of the Studen Body"....

I don't have a high opinion of most of the hairless apes around me, on a day to day basis.

Most of them are just oxygen thieves.

I love the idea of asking a community composed largely of the socially awkward (stereotypes!) and teens (Also stereotypes) what they think of humanity at large.

..It seems to me, and of course I may be incorrect, that you yourself have a great deal of disdain towards the general public.
..Of course I'm just basing this off of reading your various post over the years.

Don't confuse my opinions towards the human race in general and my opinions towards the people I attempt to communicate with on this forum or talk about at large. I hate an awful lot of people, but I don't know the vast majority of humans and I don't have anything against some random chinese or african dude. I dislike much of the American public that I know. I don't start out disliking people before meeting them (or at the very least coming to understand their works). I am not so scarred.

Somewhat typically I'm of the rare opinion that you shouldn't feel something towards something without reason and that that reason has to be real not imagined.

In summation of this thread.

Dogma's the one with the suitcase sitting around like a shmuck. I'm the girl on the left. Cannerus of courseis standing center stage.

That makes sense, I may indeed feel a certain "indifference" towards many of those I encounter (at least until I know them one way or the other), but as to outright hatred...no, that takes a while to grow.

Boundless.
