How many of you all actively do real work to make the world better?

I wish I could just poll this. I don't because I realize people are assholes and are not worth the effort. I did once, raising a few thousand dollars for charity (march of dimes and st judes) when I was in junior high/high school and pinched my own money into charities I believed in at the time

Now I just don't give a fuck. People will die and suffer and it is their fault

Vincent-"When people die and

Vincent-"When people die and suffer its their fault".. People die and suffer but it usually not their fault. Cancer or disease, war, hurricanes and tornados, draught and floods or a host of other things kill, harm, and discourage people. God has created such misery everywhere. I am kind of numb to the suffering. So much havoc and death everywhere but what can you do---nothing. It is not "peoples fault because they suffer and die....But they suffer and die anyway.

Ah yes, the age old classic

Ah yes, the time honoured tradition of making the world a better place; by kicking security guards at the hospital.

the police report lied. I

the police report lied. I made no motion of attack

I suppose they also lied

I see you made the world a better place in January of this year by pleading guilty to "assault family violence".

I have anger issues and

I have anger issues and severe dysfunctions, such as bipolar disorder. I don't condone my actions but you don't know enough about the circumstances of my life to judge my actions.

But I feel unless I unveil the whole issue it won't die

I have a lengthy wrap sheet of 7 convictions, mostly family assault.

I have always been an agry child and that transitioned to teenage years, to college years, to adulthood. In college, I was introduced to a jui-jitsu club that taught me how to harm others. I was addicted.

Then the fun times came to an end. I could no longer wallow in depression because my scholarship was up and so was the freedom of college life. But I knew I couldn't get a job. I did not have the skills or inclination or ability to hold a stable life (I probably never will).

I was forced to study abroad as part of my scholarship (it was London that I chose, on the school's dime). It gave me time to reflect, be depressed, but see some amazing sites and interact with amazing people. I did drugs in Amstradam and visited a financial conferance in italy.

But then I paniced. I graudated a year and a half early but the conditions of the scholarship were that I could have a full ride for four entire years. I had nothing to contribute. I was more of a bane on society than a contribution. So I tipped the scales so that I would be kicked out of school, be arrested, and be diagnosed with a mental illness.

That is when I was forced to live with my parents again, you know, not being able to get a job and everything. By older brother was also living with my parents and was diagnosed with schizophrenia my freshman year of college. This is where the assault tradition began in my life

He said he could kill me any time he could. then he through a glass cup at me, which shattered and made me bleed. This is when I knew he was serious and knew if I did not beat him in this battle now, he may actually kill me in the future.

We traded blows, and at the time, we were about equal in fighting ability. but he had a marginally more shortage of breathe than I did. so I seized the only opportunity I saw and got behind him and put him in a rear naked chokehold. I did not stop applying pressure until he submitted. After I released the hold, I called him weak and pathetic. He then took a chair, their it at me, and kicked me in the left eye, blinding me for several hours, after which he said I was weak and pathetic (I presume because I showed mercy). At this point I decided to go to the police because I felt my life was in danger and I felt a crime had been committed. I relayed the message to a cop that drove by, with him being arrested for a misdemeanor assault and me being arrested for a felony assault.

From there my brother had been in and out of mental hospitals and jails. the memories are hazy so I won't go into it. But suffice it to say, my brother hates me, my father prefers Wilson Tran over me, so by extension, my father hates me.

Now to the assault in question. the other felony. My dad had been spewing hatred at me ever since I was a child and I just had to take it. I stopped giving a shit because my professional life was over so I decided to razzle a 76 year old man, on the streets, where anyone could see. I was arrested and plead guilty because the way it works is most accused criminals plead guilty because they fear the jury of their peers will judge them properly or improperly in sentencing. I felt like I deserved a 5 year prison sentence so I took the plea

As to whether I actually strangled him. my dad said I did not. So I'm going to take his word on that.

and that's the pathetic story of a man fueled by hate and has never been loved by another.

Cheers :)

Go back on your pills dude.

Go back on your pills dude. We understand you don't think you need them, but let's be real for a second; look where your thinking has gotten you so far.

I thought so for a while but

I thought so for a while but that's the purpose of life for me as a humanist, to make the world a better place. People are victims to thought viruses, manipulative institutions and greed by a few inhumane powerful people. If we fight against ignorance, oppression and the poverty mentality rather than the physical poverty itself, mankind will be empowered against the evils of society. Our need to survive provide the most meaning to our lives, I feel great every time I help someone.

Vincent Paul Tran --You are

Vincent Paul Tran --You are good-very good-Vincent Paul Tran described every disorder, mental contention, anti-social behavior, thoughts of murder and suicide, psychosis, bi-polar, arrests assaults, prison, weird crazy thoughts and ideas, and every other malfunction a person can describe to himself. No one can be that dysfunctional. Vincent Paul Tran is fooling us. He is making fun of your sense of empathy and naivety. Vincent is good-maybe the best at exaggeration and satire. Nobody can be as screwed up as Vincent. I think Vincent Paul should get an award for the greatest joke ever performed in this forum. I tried to use satire and humor many times at Atheist republic but Vincent Paul Tran as eclipsed any attempt at satire I have mustered. Good job Vincent.. God Bless

Travis-I don't know how you

Travis-I don't know how you live with yourself since you are a piece of boring elephant shit. As unbelievable as it is you actually agree with Vincent Paul just to mimic me. An idiot, a dumbass, retard, fuck face, dummy, stupid moron, imbecile does not say enough to describe you. You are an insult to the human race. You are as small as an ameba-as cowardly as the lion in the wizard of Oz, as feeble as Sarah Palin, as ugly as a pimple on your ass, and as weak as your arguments about "everything". Go fuck yourself.. God Bless

"I don't know how you live

"I don't know how you live with yourself since you are a piece of boring elephant shit."

Easily, when I think about how the source of comments like this from you is a sad and pathetic creature who is likely living in his sisters basement, it affirms the fact that I am simply better than you.

"As unbelievable as it is you actually agree with Vincent Paul just to mimic me."

I don't know what is more pathetic, that you think my statement was agreement, or that you think I was "mimicking" you.

"An idiot, a dumbass, retard, fuck face, dummy, stupid moron, imbecile does not say enough to describe you."

You're right, but they are a good start to describing you, you flatulent pissant.

"You are an insult to the human race."

If much of the human race is like you, then I would gladly insult them.

"You are as small as an ameba-as cowardly as the lion in the wizard of Oz, as feeble as Sarah Palin, as ugly as a pimple on your ass, and as weak as your arguments about "everything"."

Keep struggling, I like my prey with a little spirit. It will just make it more satisfying when I utterly dominate your ass intellectually, and show you as the mental midget you happen to be.

"Go fuck yourself.."

Unlike you, I don't have to.

"God Bless"

I would tell you to stick your gods blessing up your ass, but considering you are mentally retarded, that would be considered exploitation and rape.

Travis-Good try but you are

Travis-Good try but you are nowhere near me in being able to humiliate, disparage and ridicule. The reason you are unable to compete with me is I am brilliant and you are an idiot. But more than that you are all the things I say you are and I am a handsome, creative, intelligent, happy, delightful, amazing person of absolute integrity. So you begin with a disadvantage because as I said you are a moron. God Bless.

I am glad your narcissism

I am glad your narcissism makes you so certain that you are so brilliant, but none of us have seen any of that here. I am glad you think you are a bunch of wonderful things, in your own biased and deluded mind. I am also glad that you seem to think you are capable of judging the intelligence and cognizance of others, despite your obvious lack of mental health and relative intelligence.

As much of the problems with you, the only person who likes you is you, and the rest of us simply know you are a piece of shit.
