What is it with people these days?

Question

What I notice about people, is that one thing HAS to be better than another. When one thing is better than the other, the worse one automatically "sucks". It's like this with rivalries everywhere. I like Duke's basketball team, but North Carolina doesn't suck. They're good. Metallica is my favorite band, but I like Megadeth too. Some of my friends don't get that. They are so consumed by the need to be on one side so strongly that they will say anything to protect their "judgment." Does anyone else feel this way?

Answer 1

The right to speak!

Sadly society we live in today is not how it used to be when i was a child back in the late 70s and child in the mid 80s.  You talk about people saying that one thing has to be better than another.

Well this is a rule of thumb that today Negativity is a number one factor in alot of childrens and teen lives, if someone says Megadeath rocks and because someone else dont like it they suck ***.  But ask them why they suck and lets here their reasons Chances are they say"I DONT KNOW THEY JUST DO"

so stop and ask wtf and why did they say this?  ok heres the Real reason.

we are followers just like sheep lemme tell u a silly story.

one day a head of sheep were out walking among the mountain, and the baby sheep drifted away from the heard, when all of a sudden a Lion approached the heard and they ran off killing some sheep of the group while they baby sheep was free to live.  

The baby sheep however had no family until one day! a flock of lions said to the sheep"Wheres your family" and the sheep said "I have none" so the lions felt sorry for mr sheep and said come with us! You are not a sheep you are a lion now! you must do all the things that we do and live by our rules.

so the sheep done so because he had no one. or anything and believed most of his life he was a Lion.  one day he met up with a flock of sheep and amongst them he seen his mother who managed to survive, and was shocked.  And the momy sheep said what are you doing with them and the baby sheep said"Mom im a lion now" she replied "No son you are not a lion you are a sheep look at your wool, and the lions wool you are 2 different beings".  

So it goes on and on. moral of that story is we are all sheep! and when we are amongst a croud that is negative! we all follow and we dont really care what the reason is... we dont know the answers to the questions either we just think stuff sucks or its **** or who cares because EVERYONE ELSE DOES!!!

Sooo just remember its not their fault their being retards! its society conditioning our friends kids to think in NEGATIVE ways...

You know what its like everyone b*****s about 1 thing and argues then some bright spark says WELL ya know it is a good idea though then everyone says "yeeee i suppose so" well wtf why argue in the first place about it and be negative.

Followers springs to mind.

Answer 4

most everyone feels they have something to prove. For some people, this desire is focused in common activities, such as sports or music. It gives those people something to protect, or to claim as their own. It also offers them a chance to feel apart of a group- to feel needed. attacking rivals is merely a way that some people prove loyalty. In order to be apart of a group- some feel the need to pledge their allegiance to it. it gives them an extra boost of esteem. obviously, not everyone is like that.

Answer 5

I think that today people want the newest, coolest, fasted gadgets they can get their hands on.  Be it the new iphone, latest fashion of clothes, that new band, whatever.  But what you need to concentrate on is the fact that you are a step ahead of all these people.  You don't need the newest coolest things to know who you are, you already have a sense of self identity.  I wouldn't worry about it to much, in the end the materialistic will lose and you will be standing on top rocking out to Megadeth.

Answer 6

Yeah. Same with dogs and cats, most people choose one over the other and hate the one they didn't choose! I guess that is just the way people are.

Answer 7

You had me after 'days'.
