Well, those are a lot of interesting responses, and I'm hearing from a few people that the way the world is being visibly mismanaged must have something to do with what's going on. That was my suspicion too. There are always going to be differences of opinion; there's always going to be hatred and intolerance; but I've noticed that just coexisting peacefully seems harder today in the U.S. than it did ten years ago.

What are all these viewpoints and opinions that people are wrongly labeling as intolerant?

Yes, they are calling it "intermittent explosive disorder".  Will it be added to the DSM?

  Nobody gives a fuck about you.  The world in general really doesnt.  They dont care who you are, where you come from, what you think or what you do.  They dont care.  Because the world isnt about you.. its about them.  The world, people, they care about themselves and could give two whits about you other then what your good for. 

I deleted a lot. But I do think that in general the majority of the world does care. They just don't know how much power they really have. They have been numbed to believe they have none. They know that to make it better that they have to care about each other. But feel it doesn't matter or work. But it does and it can. The tiniest minority make the rules through the power we let them have. With a communal casual shrug, we could shake the leeches off.

The time is coming round again that it will happen. The minority has put the majority into such a state of stress and hopelesness that the big bitch slap will happen. It has over and over again through history. The powerful forget the responsibility and wisdom it takes to keep it. The giant mass of the powerless see the power left unattended. They take it back for a while, then get as lazy and complacent as the powerful.

The majority knows in their bones it is a world where it takes the many to make a go of it. Individual effort moves us ahead, the majority works to keep us there. Some manipulate it to the detriment of all.

I've been on Collarme for about two years.  Some people have been on here longer than that.  I have about 3,500 posts.  A few people have more than that.  But I've been here longer than most and have posted more than most.  And I've observed something lately.

People seem to be fucking ANGRY.  I don't understand it.  Why is everyone so angry, and where is all the intolerance coming from?  Every other thread seems to be about race or immigrants.  When it's not about that, it's usually some soap opera about a couple or a threesome that no one actually knows, but how they're doing something that's atrocious and horrible, and why they all need to be hanged by the balls for it.  Yeah, we always had people who thought their way was the only way; we always had people who went out of their way to offend everyone--but lately it's just gotten out of hand.  The threads go on and on, and eventually they just become mud-slinging contests.  Thirty pages about a household that no one even knows personally?  (That thread was finally pulled, thank God.)  Now page after page about political correctness?  Immigrants ordering in Spanish in a cheese steak joint?  Whether Jews are better lawyers or Chinese better wholesalers?

Look, if people enjoy arguing about this stuff, God bless, I'm not trying to start a revolution.  I contribute to those threads too.  I'd just like to understand where people get all the time and venom to expend condemning others on an ANONYMOUS INTERNET CHAT BOARD?  Why is everyone so upset?

well it's been made obvious to me no one here really cares what a noobie thinks, nonetheless...
I never dreamed till i came here that the bdsm community would be so pacifistic in general. The original posters lament actually surprised me. I like to keep it real in everyday life, and am the kind of guy people think is dour, and maybe unhappy. While im not really, i do detest pleasantries, and have been known to say, when casually asked how i'm doing; "halfway shitty" Anyone who knows me knows thats my backhanded sarcastic way of saying im allright, while rebuking them for again daring to insult me with their tired pleasantries. They don't really care how i am most of the time, and if they really did, sure coulda fooled me.. My best friend in the world is so, because whenever he calls, the first thing i hear is "hey dickhead" such realness and bland impoliteness actually make my day. Why? because im so fucking sick and tired of people who are so fucking fakey-ass and nice all the time. Those with heavy cases of PMA can actually invoke me into being abusive if im not careful and get myself away from them asap. No, I don't win a lot of popularity awards, and most either love me or hate me, but i dont care.
I'm a dom. im sadistic (sometimes that means I'm mean as a snake) for real.
Deal ffs.
