Pong Messiah Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 According to George Bernard Shaw: The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it. I disagree. This kind of sentiment is a self-serving dual purpose excuse to wallow in misery while looking down on others who choose the path of less wallowing as unenlightened.

Guest Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 In more modern American terms:If you're not angry, you're not paying attention. Which is the rallying cry of both sides of the political aisle, while being simultaneously angry about the exact same thing from different sides.

Driver Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 And let's update it for the modern day: If you (don't like/don't think the same/aren't angry) about this thing that I (like/think/am angry about) than fuck YOU, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?

Ms. Spam Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I think it is just Pong. I mean people try to provoke me or demand some kind of cohesive argument but I don't see it so I am the blissful ignorant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I don't think you can care about every cause out there and maintain your sanity. I think we're more likely to change the world if we all had one passionate cause instead of 50 billion to not gain an ounce of traction over.
