I think Humans of New York on Facebook is stupid, and the cult like following of that site by my friends is ridiculous. They feel so good and uplifted by commenting on other peoples' tough lives -- as if they even understand -- and truly think their words of encouragement are SO important.

I really don't get it when SAHMs say they're "busy."

Also, I don't believe in god.

McMansions and subdivisions are hideous.

Gas should cost a hell of a lot more.

I am disgusted by people who drive Mercedes and other status-symbol cars. Especially Mercedes, though.

Instead of using monkeys and beagles and rats for experiments, scientists should just use pedophiles, murderers, and rapists instead. But we have to be sure they did it.

When people say they don't believe in god I always assume they are either lying or just like to be different, but deep down I can't wrap my head around how you just can't believe in god.

Are you a native born American? To each their own, but you're an idiot. But I guess that comes from not being educated beyond high school.

I am a white American. Unfortunately I do have a college degree. My parents made me go to college and it's something I'm not proud of. I will have to take it up with god one day and hope he forgives me. No I'm not trying to stir the pot, just stating my beliefs.

Hopefully God will remind you of the educated women in the Bible.

I'm a god fearing person. I don't think I will ever be forgiven. But I try to do better each day.

Were you abused as a child? You sound like a very broken person--I fear for any children whom you might pass such crazy ideas onto. It's possible you may have suffered a head injury.

I truly do not care if my children smoke weed. I think it's much less harmful than drinking and if it weren't illegal I'd be openly fine with it.

Oooh pp me too! Especially when they star in trashy romance novels!

Its a minority opinion on this website.... I really like manky men, soldiers, marines, FBI agents, police officers, Navy Seals etc yummy

Not a minority view.

Uh -- yes it is. Have you met all the parents out there of special snowflakes who say -- oh yes the millennials are terrible, our kids need more discipline and structure so they don't grow up like that, BUT MY Aidan is just a cut above the rest; he doesn't need that because he is SOOO gifted, you wouldn't understand. He ONLY acts out in school bc he isn't challenged, do you know how tough that is for him???

And even for parents who aren't so over the top about it, almost every single one of my peers believes in their heart of hearts that their kid is just a cut above the rest, and the rules shouldn't apply to their kids/family like they do to everyone else; once you're around them long enough, it slips out. Seems like no one views their kid as "average" anymore. I'm an advocate for old school 60s-80s parenting, where most parents thought their kids were just fine but were average and just like the rest -- which means if they did something bad, they were punished and parents sure as hell weren't running to school or calling the teacher every time the teacher had the audacity to discipline or correct their child.

If people eat pigs, I have little interest in their criticism of other cultures eating horses, dogs, dolphins, etc.

I think the ones who work even moderately hard will be shining stars in this generation, since their peers are so lackluster.

They may be frustrated that you get to decide whether to promote them- they're not their

Didn't it always used to be that way -- your boss got to decide whether and when to promote you? You couldn't typically promote yourself or get a promotion just by demanding it -- and certainly not at age 23 when you haven't done anything different or better than the rest of your colleagues!?

This person is implying that because you confused "their" and "they're" you're not worthy of a management position. As if copyediting is the pinnacle of human achievement.

Editing = very important in real jobs. Fortunately I don't consider DCUM my job, so who gives a f--- if there are a few typos!? Who has THAT much time to scrutinize someone else's post and then reply about that!?
