What a Week End (Vent/Complaint)

[jiiimmm]

That is just like I said in my first reply, basically if anyone has a problem, you assume they are somehow "faking" or their problems aren't real, so you think it's ok to dismiss anything a person might say.

Also, don't you find your attitude strange? First, you assume that anyone who vents is "looking for sympathy and kind words". Never mind if your assumption is true or not. Let's assume it is true, anyone who rants or vents is looking for sympathy and kind words. Alright.... so what? You say that as if it's wrong or stupid to want kind words, or to give them. What is your problem?

I don't have a problem. But why don't you read the "poor mans" story again and tell me why you feel the need to feed the sympathy dragon. Everything this guy went through was self imposed. No sleep, no food, risking the lives of others on the highway due to no sleep, can't find a beer store, gets a little sleep then has to get up to party some more.

I mean really, get a grip on reality here. It is totally fine to rant or vent and I've read some posts in the past that were interesting...but this one...there are people out there with real problems but this is fluff. I don't know if he has real mental issues or not but odds are great that we have a drama queen in the making. If he does have real issues, maybe TERB isn't the best place to find the help he needs. Just my opinion.

Did it ever occur to you that what you consider "fluff" and "self-imposed" are symptoms of something else that isn't fluff nor self-imposed?

Why are people such assholes? Is it that difficult to show some empathy, or at least to keep moving without saying anything if empathy is not in your genes? Geez.

go ahead, feed the dragon but had the OP killed someone on the 401 due to HIS actions I guess it wouldn't have been his fault.

The guy said his problem is loneliness. Apparently you did not read that part, only that he was tired and hungry.

Ok, folks, this thread's run it's course. I do not want people squabbling over a thread that I shouldn't have posted to begin with. Jiiimmm is free to feel the way he does and to take away what he wishes.

As for myself, I do apperciate the kind words. They did help tide me over until I could settle back into my little place in the world. I am feeling alot better now. Thank you.

And jiiimmm, who's fault would it be? The magic pixies of course.

So I politely ask lets put this thread to bed, and let the tides of terb gently wash it into obscurity.

Good day,
Dave

Nice post and time will tell.

I think you are missing the point.

If your opinion is that he should not get the kind words, sympathy etc. that is fine, but why the need to kick the guy when he is clearly feeling down?

That is the part I don't get. You don't have to give advice, or be helpful, or "feed the dragon" but you don't have to pull the carpet out from under him either.

This is a grey world, not black and white, so just because you won't do one thing, doesn't mean you have to do the complete opposite.

Can someone tell me the difference between drinking/driving and driving while exhausted? Other than legal raminfications, both seem to put other people on road at great risk for sheer stupidity on part of driver.

To my understanding you can be charged with being "too tired to drive" (as well as bad driving brought on by medicines). It's just a lot easier to charge someone with DUI as there are tests that can be administered to show your alcohol level.
