Does regular society and pop culture get you upset?

Who cares what others do . A stronger man stands alone . Only weak people seek approval it's sign of low self esteem and weakness . Do things for you . Have confidence in your own ideals . Most people are ignorant, so never give a rats ass what most people love

lol, damn, a lot of you sure do get pissed off at what other people do, watch listen to. Do you ever wonder how many people would get pissed off at you for using illegal drugs?

Maybe spend more time worrying about yourself, and you can find some kind of inner happiness and you won't have to be so concerned with what others do or find happiness in. Life's too short to give so much concern for people that you don't even know. Some of you need some meds or therapy.

I think its ok to be upset about the direction our culture is taking. I don't hate anyone. I am disappointed that he information age has damaged us.

Things are not going to change and if they do they will probably get worse - if thats your take on things anyway. I would spend less time thinking about stuff you don't like if it bothers you that much, at the end of the day.. who cares. Live your own life and worry about yourself. I care about my friends, family and thats things I am interested in thats about it. I couldn't give a fuck what anyone else is doing or thinking or whats on tv because for the most part I don't watch a lot because its crap. And if someone has a problem or doesn't like what I do then kindly go fuck yourself.

Getting laid should fix most of your problems

Only way to do that these days is to snapchat your junk to as many women as you can. Some people just don't want to get with the times.

Social interactions have gone to shit.

 

[Jasons1985]

Its easy when youre young to not care if society around you is crumbling but when youre older..especially with children its heartbreaking. Like people have already stated social interaction has gone to shit, moral fiber has gone to shit, honesty & Integrity etc etc.

Im only 28 but it depresses me sometimes because i know when i have children things will only be worse and all the garbage influences are everywhere. Kids 5 years old have smart phones now..how can you be totally focused in class and on homework when you have such a powerful and exciting distraction? I had a tough enough time when i was in school with girls, sports and friends as it was..couldn't imagine with these smartphones.

Everything has turned political now. TV, movies, sports..the agenda Hollywood has going on right now is downright disgusting. The country is so divided with politics, race and religion right now it makes you shake your head in disgust.

We have a president that is literally destroying the fabric of our once great country day by day. We're being lied to and betrayed by our leaders and politicians to a level thats never been seen before.

I could go on and on...the one thing that keeps me sane is the gym and the bodybuilding lifestyle.

I notice my level of serenity is directly related to my level of expectations. The more I expect of people the less my serenity. And the less I expect, the higher my serenity. And I also notice the less TV I watch the better mood I'm usually in.

I have $150,000 in federal student loan debt for my master's in creative writing. I've been unemployed since I graduated.




the government should forgive my debt

I hate that some people think big rims look good on any piece of shit. I also hate people that think anything covered in camo is automatically awesome.

LMAO

 

[mikennrg]

I try my best to not let stuff annoy me, but the use of phones is getting to me. I have a coworker in the next cube over that's always on his phone. He also has to have every single notification audible and at the highest level even after I've asked him to change it. Someday that phone may end up thrown across the office.

 

[werfewgrt]

The excessive use of the social media allows us to pick and choose everything and everyone that we feel like to interact with, which creates this FAKE bubble and mentality that you can block people and things that you don't like nor want to deal with!
People are on their phone on Thanksgiving dinner, in classrooms, in the bathroom, while their kid(s) is playing in the park (you are suppose to enjoy watching them grow), and god forbid if you say something and I say something else, then you will be blocked, deleted, called horrible names and such!
Thing are a bit different out there in the real world though! People will say thing, do thing, and you just have to STFU and take it in and TRY to get along!! Just because you are a Republican, Democrat, Outlaw, etc. doesn't mean that we cannot train together, live together, love one another, and help each other, but I guess making fun of people, posting things that everyone else wants to hear just so you can go back later and check how many likes you've received, and playing Candy Crush are all more important!!!

Sorry for the rant!! lol

 

[blackngold]

To answer the question, YES. I am so tired of the idots that are everywhere, people blasting rap with their kids in the car and I am tired of rap. Bitches, violence, drugs, get money, uh...what..uh. NWA did that in the fucking 80s. Try something new!! About a decade ago I was at work and had to interview a guy and he comes in wih sagging pants. I made it real short and threw his application in the trash. There is a bitch that lives next door to us that parties with her mother and son there, rap blasting. She smokes pot and is loud and rude. She stole my fiances liscense plate off her car, threw food all over the front door and her dogs shit because my fiance complained to the leasing company. These low lifes have zero respect for anyone who does not rap. I had a conversation last week with a teenager about her use of Ebonics. You been in this country your entire fucking life and you don't know English yet?? Are you fucking serious. And what ever happened to a man being worth his word?

I hear you man. Sorry to hear about that. We had the same problem with these wannabes next door. I grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in Cleveland and live in a small town now. I really don't give a shit if these guys want to look like a joke. However once they started disrespecting me I showed them really quick the difference between a guy who grew up in the hood and some chump that listens to rap, fantasizes bout it and tries to talk and act like he's a brother.

people can do what ever they want as far as i am concerned. as long as i and others are not required to go along with it.....and it gives me some thing to laugh about.

 

[Freddy Mercury]

I find it so strange, that in the age of instant information, people still except opinion as fact and relevant. Also, I say to the younger generations, if you want to find out how "cool" your life really is, or who really cares about you from your social networks...delete your Facebook/Instagram for 1 week. Put you Xbox away for 1week. See what happens. Are your "followers" or "friends" on social networks going to call you up and ask how you're doing and tell you they miss you and your selfie posting? Is not getting any "likes" on your picture you took of your breakfast going to change your world? Turning it off, will reduce you to who you really are...and force you to take a look at your real life. See, the older generations know what it's like not to have those things. The younger generations, do not. Strange concept.

 

[ManoftheWorld]

I find the social norms nowadays disgusting and dishonable at best. People think that time spent in school and passing tests to get a slip of paper to hang on wall (degree) weighs more than experience and practiced skill and/or natural talent.. also i can go to grocery store with out seeing gross tabloids and tell about movie stars or joke reality stars like grossly disproportionate Kim K or other yahoos like the kate broad with 8 kids or the teen mom who did a porn.. those cunts need a lesson in class IMO... same goes for douche equal guys... not for nothing Kourtney is more attractive, intelligent, classy etc than her other trash sisters altho still poor taste in men like most typical women... any man who is a shit father is NOT a man.. simple

Anyways... the media outlets have really hit an all time low this era.. nothing that counts for shit matters, its all vanity and popularity its disgusting.. the sheer ignorance, arrogance and plainly dumb unintelligent celebrities makes them a turn off and eye sore.. im just old fashion, i have pride dignity self respect and like my privacy... i try not to judge but i also dont throw myself around like a neglected puppy seeking attention and approval but those that do kinda put themselves out there in a position were not judging is practically not human and impossible...

Having the discipline to workout 24/7 (weights/diet/cardio) places us a cut above the norm. I too worry about society, but the best thing we can do is to try and share knowledge and experience. I did a lot of dumb and fun shit as a young man.
To quote Sting "There is a deeper wave than this" We can help the world by being loving examples. I have faith we are evolving to a better place. I hope! Read "The four agreements"

Nah, different strokes for different folks.

 

[Zomb131]

Quit bitching. You complaining about what others are doing shows your lack of maturity you try so hard to detail in your long drawn out post about how hard you had/have it.

Join the Marines, go to war, then you can complain.

Society has become too materialistic :naughty:
