Just back from a week in the wilderness...

[P3nT4gR4m]

... must resist urge to kill EVERYONE I FUCKING SEE!

One human is all it takes. Not a good human, not a cool one with respect and appreciation for the world and life, one with a brain and shit, I mean the other kind - the 99.9%. The one that's nothing more than a parasite, shambling around leaving a trail of shit and plastic wherever it's retarded ass slithers.

One of those fucking things can ruin the view, stink up the fresh air, leave it's fucking sanitary products strewn across the beach... but my problem isn't one of them, I live in a concrete and tarmac shithole, designed, built and populated by fucking thousands of them.

When I've been where they can't reach, because they're too fucking stupid. Because, if they travel too far from an electrical socket or a retail outlet, they fucking die. When I've been to those places I'm convinced the world (my world) would be better off without them. There's a broken bottle and a pile of puke in the street outside my house. It's the nearest thing to art we have in this hell.

Towns are ugly. The hollow, vacant expressions of the creatures that live in them are ugly. Everything, as far as the eye can see reminds me that human beings are cancer. I pray for war, for famine, for pestillence. I don't believe in their gods but I believe my prayers will be answered nonetheless. They're too fucking stupid to do anything other than fight, starve and rot.

Wellllll, not everyone can be Robinson Caruso.  Some of us require electric light, running water, and UNLIMITED DATA.  Why?  Because it is absolutely  impossible for 7 Bn people to live off the land.

On top of that, I LIKE modern amenities.  I like them a lot.  I have light when I need it, and hot water when I want it, and wifi for entertainment.  Do not judge me on this, and I will not judge you for being the next Theodore Kaczinski. 

I am one of the 99.9% that prefers city living.  There's a reason many of us like that, and that reason is probably the reason cities formed in the first place.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Yeah, man I like the tech stuff, too. I get ya. I just wish they didn't have to make it so fucking grey and ugly. And was 7 billion really a good idea - or did it just happen like some kinda accidental shitstorm?

1.  That might be a regional thing.  Here, the altitude and the sun combine to turn garbage into powder within 4 hours or so...And there's not much litter to begin with.  We may be violently insane here, but we keep the place up.

2.  7 Bn is way too many.  2 Bn is about right.

[E.O.T.]

TOWNS

        are cute

YOU

         ought to go get laid in one

[P3nT4gR4m]

My ideal world is less densely populated and a lot less made of concrete and effluent. I fucking hate cities. Couple of hours in one and I'm climbing the walls. Towns I hate slightly less. I loathe and despise towns but at least they're not cities. Some villages I even find pleasant, especially remote villages. Then you have my idea of heaven - A tiny little house, halfway down a glen, with my nearest neighbour at least 5 or 6 miles away. I'll take care of the running water, the lighting and heating (no need for them to turn the whole glen into a grey, featureless hive of machines, belching thick black smoke everywhere, just so I can turn a lightbulb on at night.

Problem is - I need a lot of their money before I can live there. So for now I'm stuck here, nursing a homicidal hatred and disgust for practically all I survey, until I can save up enough shiny metal to buy my way out of it.

Problem:  The money is in the cities.

Personally, I prefer cities.  Then uninhabited wastelands.  Then the surface of the moon.  Then small towns.

Cities are just a concrete wilderness, IMO.

I agree, if you mean "a concrete wilderness full of ethnic cuisines, nice looking ladies, and hundreds of people walking around screaming for a little Holiness^TM."

Definitely on the same page.

People just get fooled because it looks civilized.

But it IS civilized, when compared to small towns.

It's just that people have this idea in their head that "civilized" means "nice all the time".

Compared to Seguin, Texas or Morris, Illinois, cities are awesome.  Small towns are full of nosy bastards, dumb fucking rednecks, and crooked cops who are in fact so crooked that they make the Chicago PD look like a choir.

But cities are full of human traffickers, cutthroat corporatism, and a justice system that's more interested in funneling people into the prison industry than dispensing justice.

There's more actual crime in small towns.

Also, people in small towns are more likely to go to prison.  And if you think corporatism doesn't own small towns, go check out somewhere like Plano, Il.
