People rarely acknowledge the wisdom of the written word as opposed to something that's said on TV or on bloody YouTube. To cut to the chase, you hear some asshole saying something 'smart' and you accept that sooner that you'd sit down and read a book. Going to Wikipedia and watching a fucking video is easier and quicker than reading a whole book. Simple as that. However, the fact that you've heard someone say something and accepted it as being a 'wise' statement, doesn't make you an expert on the subject in question - you haven't even scratched the surface.
This is what bothers me about the world today. There's an increasing amount of idiots who think they 'know it all' and so they start offering me advice. Ah, so you know this? Based on personal experience? No? Ah, so you read a lot and you've learned this from people who are actually smarter than you? No? Then how the fuck can you advise anyone on the matter, you fucker? What, you accessed a Wikipedia page at some point, and now you're capable of offering advice? You very small immature teet!
The Internet is a useful tool and it helps the world in so many ways that I can't even begin to describe. So, it is a good thing. The obvious downside is that it has increased the number of people who think and act superficially. If people live their lives without educating themselves or attempting to master a skill of any kind properly and methodically (and I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this does require reading books and using a more classical approach), then they'll never be able to acknowledge wisdom, let alone offer advice of any sort.
It's also affecting humor in general. Okay, you don't always have to read books to understand how something works. For example, you can watch movies or enjoy stand-up to discover comedy, but you need to go back a bit and find out what it was like through the ages as well. When it comes to humor, it has to come naturally. Yes, you must possess a natural inclination. "Witty" remarks and sarcasm don't cut it. And yet, these days people think they are perceptive by being cynical and "funny" all the time. I'd kill these people and I seem to see this in almost everyone I meet these days. Everyone's a smart-ass, everyone's funny... I've talked about this before, but it continues to piss me off. What I'm saying is, if you're hungry for humor, surround yourselves by people who are genuinely funny, not cynical bastards who think they are.

I apologize for being a too philosophical these days... I also promise to post shorter Morning Post in future.

off topic
I recently started replaying some old Lucas Arts adventures and while I was rummaging the internet for more adventure games goodness, I stumbled upon The Dark Eye:Chains of Satinav.A game I urge you to try, the arts style is fantastic, it's like I'm playing with the elements of a canvas, which ranges from gleeful to very dark, the soundtrack and voice acting are also spot on, and most importantly the puzzles range from just right to hard but they all imply a logical solution.
Hell, at one point I even took to the old pencil and paper for one puzzle required me to do some permutations, it's also quite long I've spent about 10-15 hours.The story is nothing to scoff at either, it has it's own lore and even though it includes the omnipresent orcs the accent is put on fairies, which is a breath if fresh air really.Also, it has a great twist in the middle of the game a fake ending of sorts and when the true ending is fashionable late well, let's just say it's very unexpected and it made me sad and happy at the same time, quite a feat if I do say so myself.
The game also has some lite rpg elements in the form of dialogues, but the consequences of your decisions are immediate and are in no way long term, but it does render a second play-through.
So if you liked the Black Mirror series, A New Begging, The Book of Unwritten tales try it out, you won't be disappointed the Germans at Daedalic entertainment make great adventure games, reviews are already coming in and they all are favorable.(funny easter egg use the puppet head with the curtains)
**if you intend to get it through some more questionable means:
-don't forget to patch the iso with the PPF patch before installing otherwise you'll get missing file errors;
-get the proper crack for improved loading times;
-and finally if you want to change the graphic settings you'll have to use the config file within the game folder.
Cheers
And you are not being philosophical lately,you are just pissed of that you killed your wife.
Anyway, I managed to save enough $$$ for a 1TB Hard Drive. Much better than the old drive in my PC!
I apologize if I come across as rude and sarcastic sometimes. Hang in there Vader I was married for 15 years.
How sad.
Maybe I could offer you a tissue to cry into, you twat.
This nostalgia your words reek of is so old that it is almost ironic.
You long for world that doesn't exist, or maybe never existed.
There always were idiots, there always were shallow people. And I think it was easier 'back then', because now it's easier to call on bullshit. And 'people' used to read more books, because there were no alternatives. And the fact that you read a book, or the book doesn't make you any wiser.
So you can be bitter all you like. I couldn't be bothered anymore.
I wasn't speaking about kids or teenagers here at all. I was speaking about people in general. While there is a certain personal bitterness in this morning post, it's not aimed to criticize kids of today.
Among other things, it was meant to encourage a discussion, not verbal insults.
Also, sorry but I can't always chirp like a happy birdie to make you all feel happy. The Morning Post has always been about everything and nothing. About funny and not funny. Interesting and not interesting. It's a break from the usual daily grind if you will. A break from the typical news post or media or info.
If indeed you have a tendency to run from problems I'd, as expected, would advise against it, sort out the problem or at least talk about it, from my experience running doesn't resolve much, it does keep you fit though, but that's beside the point.
Normally I'd say you should let go, you can't force people to do something they don't agree with but, since you have a child I'm inclined to think it is(and hopefully will continue to be) a long term and meaningful relationship.The base word here is compromise, if it's something on your end, try to give in a bit(you know to show her you can change) not too much though or viceversa just enough to incline the balance.
Now the part I resonate with the most is the child, even though I'm almost 20 and I'm not as dependent on my parents as I used to be, I still dread the tough of a divorce that's never been the case, since they never argue(the argument part is usually found in the younger couples, of course you shouldn't shut yourself in arguments are like opinions it's good to have one/multiple but too much opinion can blind you, you have to be consistent at some point you can't change day in day out) but I'm the kind of guy that takes every possibility into account.
Having a family weighs hard on the shoulders of everyone involved(but usually it's the man, that is if he's not a drunken pig, that beats his wife every night he comes home) the main point here is that, when you decide to have a family of your own, you can't live only for yourself anymore, you live for their well being as well, think about what effect your decisions have on those around you.
If all else fails, have at the divorce though, I wouldn't do that unless, I tried everything humanly possible to reconciliate the situation.As for the stupid people around you, why should you care your save haven is your family, at least that's how I see things, I don't take to heart what those around me think or do, I know my family always helped me sort out both my external and internal problems and they'll hopefully continue to do so.
Never forget that human stupidity/foolishness is a natural resource, it would be a shame if you wouldn't exploit it, like any other natural resource for that matter.People say I'm a good listener and that I should have become a priest, although I have my own toughs on God that aren't very canonical, but in the end you decide if my advice is worth taking and it is you who has the final word/decision, just don't rush it.
But in the end, it's none of my business and I apologize in advance for my nosiness, there's a saying in my language that goes like this:
''One does not wash one`s dirty linen in public but in the family".
And it ain't just about you.
Also, in my opinion, the wise people are those that invest their time in science/medicine to increase understanding (and an increasing vocabulary for wonderment) and reduce suffering on a practical level.
Maybe you should take some graduate classes or get involved in something. I haven't quite figured out my deal yet.
SWTOR makes me forget me worries and makes me happy! U should try it! :D
IQ, general knowledge, work, behaviour, etc...these are not proof of wisdom.
wisdom is not shared because it forms from the individual for the individual, best case scenario it can be observed, analysed and emulated. that's why harmony in whatever sense you wish to understand it has yet to spread itself for more than a square foot.
Vader, everyone in the world is crap, everyTHING in the world is wonderful. you need a vacation my friend with or without technology. You have my best wishes.
I think all the bad news and its ability to spread across the internet (or the world) has a pretty big effect on youth. It drives cynicism. Many seem to try and counter-act that with humor. I know, right now, I have absolutely less-than-zero desire to have children in the future.
I like to say, "I think," because I don't have all the answers. I like to think I have some answers, though. I try to think like a realist. It's pretty hard not to sound like a pessimist that way.

Good luck.
ps. I look forward to the future development of ARMA CO's DayZ mod. Things have become more fucked up in that game then ever before.
