The Age of Anger - Page 2

Can't forget about greed too. Government and upper class greed causes poverty and this cuases anger towards the upper class. Thus dividing our people.

Divide and conquer, thats what the government does

Other people shouldn't have to take responsibility for your anger, be they rich or greedy or anything. You are responsible for your own emotions. No one else.

Papercup · 02-20-2006, 12:12 PM

bollocks, Western Civilisation is undergoing an age of apathy and chagrin.

SweetSativa · 02-20-2006, 12:39 PM

Depends where you look. It's all there... more anger, more love, more compassion, more fear, more ignorance, more knowledge....

I agree, it does seem like we are living in an age of anger, but what age was without anger? A world without anger is a world without people or animals. You can go as far back as the original dispute, Man vs. Man (Fukuyama). One man is is always trying to, for lack of a better term, outdo the other. It grows and grows into a group of people trying to outdo the other, and into nations trying to outdo the eachother. No one is willing to be in the submissive position, so disputes arise, and as we all know, no dispute is without some form of anger. My point is, anger has always been, and always will be a part of existence.

Anger has been a part of our speicies for thousands of years. If this age were to be labeled anything, I would say its the "Age Of Realization."

At no other time has the human race had the ability to realize how angry it is and make a conscience decision to stop it. Decision is key. Plus we will realize all sorts of things in the next 20-40 years. Its gonna be better than the enlightenment, and you all will (hopefully) be around to experience it

Maybe YOUR existance but some people have managed to live a life without anger. Whenever you become angry you CHOOSE to become angry. Angry doesnt HAPPEN to anyone. Its so silly to say that something we choose to do is natural and will be around forever. We just have to realize that every victim/perp behavior is a choice, and no one will choose to become a victim. Cease yourself from becoming a victim and your life will improve in ways you can never imagine.

I would love for you to give me one example of a person who has never experienced anger. To say anger is a choice, and that some people have magaged to live a life without anger, is ridiculous. You don't choose to be angry if someone hits you in the face, or offends you, it automatically happens. I think you're associating anger with retaliation. Anger is a part of every single human beings life, its an emotion that no one is exempt from.

PSYCHOMANN · 02-20-2006, 09:44 PM

^^^Yeah. I'll agree with that . These days it's get pissed first, ask questions later.

I totally agree with SSD.

When people are angry what do they need the most?

Some fucking space right?

Where can we get that in todays world?

North_of_Sanity · 02-23-2006, 05:43 AM

The world's angry because hardly anyone gets what they want out of life.

Probably 95/100 people hate their jobs, and probably 4 of those 5 are unhappy with the pay.

Probably 3/4 people married someone they barely even like just because it was convenient, and now feel it's too late to start over.

People are pissed off at the government, sick of metro city stop-n-go traffic, sick of their kids being fuck ups/not liking the same hobbies they like.

Then there's the people who think everyone owes them something. Like people with no education who think it's the government's fault or employer discrimination as the reason they can't find a decent job, or women who get knocked up, then expect the government to pay her to stay home for like five years.

Fuck, how many people do you think live completely fulfilling lives? Maybe 1% at best?

It's just human nature to be wanty. When people don't get what they want, they get angry. Some do something about it (winners), but most just get angry and blame society (losers).

In this world, there's probably 19 losers for every one winner.

SmokeSomeDoja · 02-23-2006, 08:20 AM

^sounds like youre pretty angry

i dont think its as simple as that. thats like saying people are unhappy because they cant be happy.

North_of_Sanity · 02-24-2006, 06:50 AM

Why are people angry then?

(other than George Bush)

PSYCHOMANN · 02-24-2006, 08:24 AM

Maybe angry isn't the word. Dissatisfied- perplexed-and drawn to the increasing reality that the world boils down to the "Haves" and "Have Nots".
We are getting more "working class poor" people now. People who work their asses off, but just can't seem to get ahead, or live paycheck to paycheck. You have to learn to accept the situation or do better. A lot of folks can't afford serenity in life. There's no place for them to go. They can't afford to fall behind to take that time they so desperately need to recoup.
Others have it made. I'm sure that there are a some people who are fucking angry. Like, those Muslim rat ass militant bastards.Nothing stirs up anger like a cause that is reightious. Blind faith...a dangerous commodity.
The world sucks. Point 1. Because it sucks, we are pissed. We try and can't really make headway. Why? The world sucks. Back to step 1- catch-22.
Ya know, if the aliens are gonna come down and do anal probe, I hope it's someone like Zoltron, who would not only enjoy it to the max, and consternate the aliens administering the probe, but, even his shit would be angry and attack at first chance. That'll show 'em what we are capable of. Bend their damn will for once...
Anger should be a learning tool. A step in the right direction.A distribution point for frustration, angst and fear.
And, I hope they don't lube up that probe first...

nope, you choose to be angry when someone insults you or punches you in the face.

we choose all of our emotions. your just justifying your behavior by saying that anger is not a choice.

people are angry because as humans we have thrown our species out of balance. the minority is rich, fat, greedy white people. the majority is poor, starving people of different colors.

the majority is pissed because they are forced to take part in a "rat race" to live. stress, anxiety, all that stuff. the constant ego-gratification from things like t.v., iPods, cars, cell phones, etc etc keeps them from going crazy and blowing shit up.

the majority is pissed because they have no food, no shelter, their governments keep getting destroyed by white people, and when they do find work its in some sweatshop for .25 cents an hour. that and most of these people live under dictatorships who were directly funded and supported by the good u.s. of a. so when they arent working at sweatshops for .25 cents an hour to make shit to gratify all of our rich egos, they are getting blown up by missles and shot by american troops or american-funded troops.
