SOCIETY IS SICK

[Duchess]

I don't know if it's always been this way, maybe I'm just now noticing how fucked up society is. I feel like standards have been lowered and many people have no fucks left to give. Mockers, where has dignity went?

[Clang McFly]

Dignity, what's that? Sounds French.

This whole damn world is going to hell in a handbasket. That's what they said when they nailed Jesus to the cross, it's nothing new.

Let's crucify Fauci.

 it's nothing new.

It frequently feels new to me. Like that client of yours who called you a fucking asshole. Who the hell does shit like that. Jeezus. It's one thing to talk to each in here like that, but it's a whole other thing when people are doing that in the business world.

I'm giving the whole fucking world a purple nurple

I'm actually very polite and well spoken despite the crap I talk in here. Time and place for everything. Here it's for the comedic and sarcastic effect which is fun, acting like an ignorant jackass in public is a totally different thing. I get the feeling that everyone here is that way though which is why I've been here for what seems half my life.

FQ2 once said something to the effect of "I have to care about things all day long. I don't want to have to care when I come into Mock".

I feel the same way about hanging out at the cigar shop(and Mock).

I probably should have said society is broken rather than sick.

Years ago I got into an argument with Dick when he said that society is fractured because of the demise of 2 parent households. I disagreed, but now I don't have such a strong stance and I think there's something to be said for kids being raised by 2 parents rather than 1 who spends all their time working in order to survive rather than being in the home raising their kids.

How about sick *and* broken?

Maybe if the megabillionaires found something else to do with their lives, other than get richer, we could have healthy economies that don't require people to work 5 jobs to get by.

Mock turns 14 on the 28^th of this month so you're not too far off with that estimate.  

[Maggot]

What is this "Mock"?


IDK the people I hang out with are decent. It's the media that ruins it. Myself I like to shun the news serices for a few days, then I'm not covered in the worlds slime.

[rothschild]

Duchess, was there something in particulat that caused you to feel this way?

[Duchess]

Duchess, was there something in particulat that caused you to feel this way?

I think that was the day Sally posted about one of her clients calling her a fucking asshole. I thought that was so undignified to lose one's composure to that extent. This was business, she wasn't taking his parking spot. In my mind, to lose one's composure like that is to be undignified. I'd rather eat shit than lose my composure.  

Anyway, it made me wonder if others see what I see.

Remember the thread "People are fucked up" I made? I think that is the title. Too lazy to go look.

There is something to be said for having a loving family or a good support system, or being a part of a community.

I've been dealing w/ assholes most of my working life that it seems normal. That is why I love the industry I am in now, seems to be a happier bunch of people I get to be around.

There is strength in that and I agree with you.

Society’s moral compass has disintegrated. The world will remain rudderless until it is restored. Unfortunately, unholy conditions such as they are, will likely not return to as we would like for them to be in our lifetime! There are no captains (leaders) out there now that are capable of bringing about the insurmountable change required! I
