Why do so many people want to be a merperson?

Question

Now I have received a lot of nasty comments about my belief in the existences of merpeople.... But I could care less for I know that merpeople really exist... Now I won't get into how I know again... But I do know that mermaids are very real and no de-bunker will ever change my mind as into the existences of mermaids ever again...Now

my current interest is why do so many people want to be a merperson with out knowing the dark side of merpersons... Now I know that movies and books make them seem like beautiful and free like creatures that wander around the seas of this world bothering no one... But that part of their history is very, very far from the truth..... They are stone cold blooded killers that feed on the flesh humans and fish alike... They are far from being beautiful and their eyes are cold and black and they have a mouth full of sharp partruding teeth like a shark that are meant for ripping the flesh and crushing the bones of their victims and many human through out history has witness this as they were drowning and bleeding to death from a mermaids bite..... There are plenty of stories that can be found in the freedom of information acts, About sailors who's ships were sunk during WW-I and WW-II in the Mid- Atlantic by enemy fire power... That tell the stories of how they had to fight off Sharks and merpeople yes merpeople.... And how many Sailor were dragged under and drowned and eaten by merpeople.....There is a very long history that shows that there is no love lost between these two species..... And this history goes back many thousands of years... Now in the beginning I had no reason to believe that merpeople were real ... But during some of my research You could read the stories that some of the ancient Egyptian, Greeks, and Roman and other sea faring countries wrote about how their saliors were lured off of their ship only to be attacked and eaten by merpeople...... Tell me why even in todays world why merpeople are killed in the nets of these sear faring countries long before they were brought onto the decks of these ships in some very un-pleasent ways............ And this is why I say to all of the mermaids wanna-bee's to do some research before you may get what you wish for..Now there is one more thing that I have to ask what has happen to all of those bodies that were traped by blocked door on ship that have sunk and why were some of those door found open by divers that were closed the day before and where do all of those bodies gone by the next day when divers go back down to retrived these bodies.... Can you tell me who else has the power to open a closed door that deep in the oceans of this world..............

Answer 1

Stop the ridiculous "politically correct" of calling mermaids "merperson". Mermaid is the way to call it. Now, I have something else to tell you: mermaids are as fictional as a "Looney Tunes" cartoons.

P.D.: What's the big deal if they don't exist?

Answer 2

You have pretty much answered your own question as to, "Why do people wish to be merpeople?" The problem is that most people don't study those things. Most people don't believe in merpeople. From movies and books its all beautiful and pretty but how many people think of merpeople like you do? Dreaming or wishing is just something that people do. Whether they knew the truth or not about merpeople it probably won't stop them from thinking it would be neat. The way of mermaids in movies and merpeople the way you described them are very different. It's almost like they aren't even meant to be alike. It seems more like they are creatures totally different but have similiar names. So maybe they shouldn't be described as the same thing because it seems like they aren't. The fantasy of mermaids is different than the scientific facts of merpeople. People want to fall into the fantasy of being able to breathe underwater and dive with all the fish and through the most colorful forests in the world. To be a beautiful woman with long hair and a bright aqua colored tale. And to not have to worry about all that scuba gear that can just be in the way of swimming as naturally as we do walking. It's just the way of people. Even if the whole world did know about the real truths of merpeople I really doubt that you would ever stop them all from dreaming of being a mermaid.

If by "mermaid" you mean some unknown or unidentified sea creature, I will agree with you.  As far as being a "person" or "people"...no.  A lot of your post is pretty rambling, so it's hard to comprehend it towards the end there.

Not trying to belittle you.  Run on sentences are not the best way to get your point across.  Defensive much? If I were trying to belittle you...there's much more rich material than run on sentences.

Okay, I seriously don't have time to read all that. Can you post a summary of what you just said?

Answer 7

I coudn't be bothered to get past the first non-existant paragraph. But to answer your question; probably because mermaids are the sexiest mythical creature type.
