I guess it would be because I knew a lot of people in high school who were of the "cool crowd" collective. All those southern folk who's parents are real well off and they never really had to work a day in their life. A lot of them have either A) failed out of college or B) already gotten married / engaged and settled down in the exact suburb they grew up in.
It's not necessarily that I think they're bad people, I just think it's depressing. |

Feeling good about doing good is one thing, feeling good about peoples misfortune another. But this is taking it to a whole new level. What's with the need to actually point it out to them and "the rest of the world"?
Doing this just reeks insecurity and an inferiority complex. |
doing well :o |

There's a lot of disdain for "rootedness" in modern life. If you stay in one place you must be a loser who never "went anywhere" (in the metaphorical sense, too), not part of the mobile cool kid crowd. Going home to start your career and family is a failure.
But really the only person who gives a crap about your silly life mission to differentiate yourself from your parents and your childhood and your home town is you.
Not saying that all of this applies to you in particular, E.  |

| It's just personal opinion, it feels like settling down too early to me, but that's just me. Most of the people I'm referring to were complete s in high school, so I'm also biased in how I view them. |

I was going to edit my previous post and add "..unless they were s to you in High School, in which case you can mock away.. and you can never run out of the comfort and enjoyment watching them being useless losers" :D |

Of course, if they have wronged you and you bear a grudge I can see the desire to do something like that. Are you explaining your refraining to do so with being the "bigger man", or do you just not want the drama and attention it would cause?
I knew a couple of people being dicks back in high school, but I never felt anything but pity for them really. Writing something like that to them now would be more destructive and evil than anything they ever did. First of all you're (most likely) grown up by now. Secondly, people tend to be dicks because they have issues, especially those who "fail at life" later.
Thank you for the correction srussell. You're doing good. |

For me, I haven't really kept in touch with too many people from back home, but it seems that a lot of them are still living at home, or not doing especially well otherwise. I don't blame them, the economy there is just as bad if not worse than here. For some it's a personal choice too. They just haven't grown up and aren't ready to leave home yet. This is as much a fault of the parents as it is the children. A few others have settled down and gotten married and had children. Again, that's another choice. I tend to believe one should be settled financially before getting married and having kids, but to each his own. The point is you rarely actually know the reasons why someone is "doing nothing" with their lives. Maybe they enjoy the lack of responsibility, or maybe they're just not that smart. I tend to just ignore those people on facebook, because their lives aren't interesting to me, and I also hate seeing a million pictures of somebody's baby that they had when they were 20 years old.
Live and let live, imo. |

Mind you, they might be a lot happier than you. "making money" doesn't necessarily = happiness. Especially if you have to be condescending and contemptible towards them to validate your own existence. Deplorable attitude you have. |
People that are 25 years old and still dealing drugs. Sure they could be happy, but they aren't doing jack with their life. I actually make a difference. |

Isn't Facebook a giant sandbox where you're supposed to play with everyone's comments?
I don't see why I'd refrain from saying anything there. Unless it's offensive... but then again, I don't see why you'd be rude to a "friend" in the first place. |

Drug dealers are an invaluable part of any society where said drugs are criminalized. That's actually true. |

legalize everything maaaaan. the system! *spray paints an anarchy symbol*
Anyways:
Next time I see a career drug dealer who is trying to improve themselves as a person, I'll think twice before I talk about them. I have more respect for the people that do the drugs than the people that sell them. And before anyone gets butthurt, I am not against drug use. |
