Am i better than you?
I don't get people and i surely know by now, i won't ever get them.
Now, i have this little routine each day.
I log on, check my mails, then hop on over to yahoo to read the news.
Now, sometimes, or should i say each and every day we seem to have a war going on there.
People judge, insult and are really mean towards others.
I don't call that natural human behaviour. I still need to find a word for that.
Now, normally we start insulting each other and get off the topic at hand. We judge each other according to your gender and race. I can be one of the most unpleasant people on this planet, but that lot, really get me started each day.
I cannot understand why you should be better than anyone else, just because you are from a different country or a different race.
So f$cking what. We are all human and as far as i know, no one on this planet have another blood color than red.
So tell me, do you think you are better than someone from another race or country/
Do you get along with people, no matter where they come from?
Please bahve yourselves when responding, i won't stand any rude remarks towards one another.

I don't waste precious valuable life and or time with people who choose to like dislike strictly for race, color, breed or whatever. lol
I am not perfect but do not waste my time and or life on such silliness, I have bigger fish to fry in life silly things is not one of them. lol
I don't think I am better then anyone and can get along with just about anyone, if anyone has an issue with me, I feel that it is there issue and not mine.

Hi sweetie.
People are such ignorant little weenies sometimes.
I have to say i do get along with a lot of people these days.
Must be the weather or something.
If they have a problem with me, so be it.
I'm just fine with it.
You on the other hand need some vodka, i see.

I get along with people , Not A$$holes. anyone in this day and age who Needs to feel superior to anyone that is not Exactly like them are sad , backward a$4holes. One exception, they didn't know how backward they were and when they find out , they change. It is sad that these people have so little in their lives that they Need to feel superior . so instead of just following a true , tangible bliss , they look for something to judge others by and for something they think they have that is better than Anyone. What is really tragic is the racist. They actually think their hue is the Only thing that makes them special. Wrong!! And what really gets me is that they Could be good at something but will they Really get to do it , in this day and age. Maybe , maybe not! But there will be racists . And homophobes. I never understand why it should matter what an adult does with his or her partner in their own bedroom. But to some it does1 It is sad but it can't be helped. The great news is that there are more straight but not narrow and truly colorblind people than a$4holes in this world.

Sadly I think they will always be with us . But... their numbers are decreasing. Look at it this way. 40 years ago the ratio of humans to a$$holes was about 60-40 A$4hole. Now? it is 80-20 Humans. Parts of Martin Luther King's dream come true across thew globe. Case in point President Obama?! So don't let them get you down.If you can't stand what is said , write them off. They have the right to be that backward but you have right not to be around them too!

hi saphy I have never felt I was
better than anyone else here. I have wonderful friends from many different countries and first of all we are all human beings and we all bleed the same shade of red.I deplore mylotters who really try to hurt others for any reason.
they forget they have just as many faults as the person they'
pick on. I get along well with people from all over as I was taught
as a child to be respectful to others and also treat others as I
would like them to treat me.

I wonder what exactly human behaviour is. I do believe what you are talking about is human since I see that behaviour everywhere. We ask for respond/answers but if we get them we don't like to hear it. We love people who only say what we like to hear and a big part loves it to kick at others. Might be it's just a kind of attitude but I do believe it's human.
We all say or think it's not since we think humans are better as animals since they have brains to think (many animals can think too so that's not true). We think human is the same as being social, friendly, helpful, polite. Which it isn't. In our eyes animals are cruel but I never saw any animal harm any other animal or person except when it's needed. Only human beings are doing that just for fun.

Hi sweetie.
I like the way you stated this.
People should be open and honest, but not insulting.
I would rather hear the truth, even from a stranger, than a lie.
Anyway, animals seem to be better than humans as they do repsect one another, one thing lacking in humans.
Humans have a crooked sense of humor it seems.

You are the best dear spahy (this is my reply to your title).
The angel is somewhat angry that is what I felt on reading your post. I don’t know what makes you angry.
Myself, I think I am the worst…
Great people, always be humble.

Yes i am better because i am Indian or i am more pretty than you ( if its your avatar here)....
well. kidding. Perhaps you do remember that i started a discussion here regarding discrimination and cited that some foreigners insulted us as Indians. I never consider that a person is better than anyone by complexion, religion, race or so so... i person is better by his knowledge, behavior, courtesy and so so.
have a nice time ahead.

Someone's in a really bad mood
I guess I'm lucky that I haven't experienced this over the net, but it is fairly common everywhere. It's the reason why people fight. One person will point out a mistake or a misdeed and the other can't accept it.
I think that affliction is called pride and arrogance. They have an overdose of self confidence. I can't say I'm not guilty of this, I do sometimes feel that I am better than some people, but definitely not because I'm from the Philippines and definitely not because I'm Asian or brown-skinned.
People who use country, race and color have nothing to be proud of in themselves. They have nothing to boast about that they just use any other excuse to mean that they're better than others.
We should pity these types of people.
And remember, the best way to annoy your enemy is to be nice to them

Hi sweetie.
People are really idiots you know. So what if we disagree on something, doesn't make you someone from the moon, i guess.
Let me tell you a little secret here.
The western world, me included can learn a hell of a lot from the filipinos.
Anyway, i don't pity people sweetie, i give them hell.
I am the gate keeper, you know.
I take my job seriously.
I cannot be nice to my enemies, i usually irritate them.

Hey saph,
Those who think they are better are just not better! One can be a better person compared to themselves but not a better person just because they come from a particular place.

Hi sweetie.
I call that kind idiots.
I want to see the better in them.
Maybe then i will have a good laugh about it.
I don't care who comes from where, that should never be a problem to anyone.
If they don't like it, they are more than welcome to fly to hell, first class.

Hmm, don't tell me how I am worse than many people. I am from Romania, remember? Of course an Austrian is better than me. That's why the Austrian train tickets controller felt the obligation to take my papers and bring them back after an hour. It was written "Romania" on my passport so I was a criminal by birth, wasn't I? So what if I was a tourist and I felt terribly ashamed in front of the other tourists from the same train compartment? So what if they looked at me for an hour as if I really was a criminal? Did that matter? No, because they were better than me, remember?
For his own good.
