Sure, you can understand why some people do bad things, but in the case of some people it's superfluous. Jeffrey Dahmer killed and raped a lot of young men, we understand it was because he was not only horny but also really forgeted up, but he doesn't deserve respect or to be treated with decency. If you really believe all people deserve respect regardless of what they've done, then you believe Mr. Dahmer should have been rehabilitated and reintegrated into society, and that he shouldn't be judged for his crimes but rather "understood".
I said
most people are like this. Jeffrey Dahmer had psychosis that medical science today cannot be held responsible for not fixing. It simply is not possible.
That's not true for most people, though. A majority of our criminals have issues that can be coped with through therapy and medication. The problem is, we don't offer it in many cases.
Coming from you this doesn't mean much, as you believe(d) the only way you could improve yourself was by castrating yourself and doing cocaine. Are you saying this because you believe you've been abandoned by society? From the way you droned on and on about how nobody at work liked you and how you'd never score with the girl of your dreams, I'm convinced you believe this way because you're convinced if there's something inherently wrong with the vast majority of people, there's nothing wrong with you and your gross social ineptness.
I do not understand the correlation between self-mutilation and saying how everyone else is evil. I just got through explaining how I respected all people around me. I obviously blame myself for my own faults and I will handle them in the way that I see fit.
As far as me blaming society, to a certain extent. When I moved down to Florida in the 2nd grade there was massive culture shock and I really did take a turn for the worse. That, combined with the fact that I never met my father and my mother is a bona fide sociopath that never allowed me to feel appreciated, I can at least say that I was not raised under prime conditions, no.
Not all people are equal, that's a fact of life.
The doctor that's not only genetically gifted enough to perform medicine, but prudent enough to capitalize on that gift, is much more worthy of wealth and respect from not only a social perspective, but from a biological perspective as well. They're superior, and it's only because society constructed rules of modesty that we expect people to not be richards about being better than you. It's a lot easier to assert your superiority over others on the internet because anonymity alleviates us of social norms, and compels people to interact on a less civilized level.
What you need to understand is that there will be people born smart, beautiful, or both, whereas others will be anything but. Some people will naturally excel, others will not.
What society is accountable for is not what happens before your born, however, but after. Everyone needs to be given the same opportunities. You're arguing that we throw everyone into the lion's den and whomever escapes and lives to reproduce gets to enjoy life, and the rest get ripped to shreds. That's not the kind of world I'd want myself or anyone else to live in.
...and here you are again, judging people for things you frequently do yourself.
Pot kettle black.
Hold it there Iban, no need to brag about your immeasurable contributions to the fast food industry; not everyone can make a career flipping burgers and operating a cash register for seven bucks an hour like you can.
I work not because I need to, but because I want to. I am in college and I am getting financial support from my grandparents. If I wanted to, I could absolutely call my store right now and resign. The problem is, I like standing on my own two feet. I'm helping contribute as much as I can to my own education and the needs that come with it. I'm buying into my own hobbies, paying for my own food and other basic needs, and donating to charities with my own money.
I take no shame in it. I work at fast food. I enjoy money and I enjoy easing my own burden from my family. Do you have any complaints with this, or are you just grasping at straws right now to try and belittle me in a public forum?
Some of my co-workers have kids my age. One of my favorites has a teenage girl that's 16. The oldest coworker I know of is in his early fifties. I'm 18. I can work at fast food. That's typically what teenagers do for money. I don't see your point in drawing this out.
