I like to think it's our jealous nature.
When someone makes something more foul smelling than I can currently produce, I think it disgusting. But when I come up with something that tops their scent, it's the greatest thing ever.
There's also the shame that we've been indoctrinated with as predominantly Judeo-Christian societies.
But when farting, for instance, takes place in a group setting- the only people who don't enjoy it are the people who can't join in on the fun.
Jealousy is my vote.

to be perfectly honest, i didnt actually begin with insulting or even directly referring to your dead brother. your histrionics directly pushed me in that direction (which, i actually regret. its low, and i can do better than that). not saying that im an innocent victim or anything, just that it takes two to tango.
if you were a better brother and human being, youd have just ignored the fuck out of me, like i deserved to be. the problem is, as is shown by your posts about him, you lack the dignity to be able to do so, so you rushed to join me down in the gutter.
youre no better or worse than i am, and to be perfectly honest, youre a lot more like me than youd think.
its just that im smarter.

I guess what you just simply don't get is that talking about my brother isn't something I am ashamed about. He was a great kid. Simply awesome, really.
Even though you have been a petty little fucking douchebag - and of COURSE we are scrapping - Jesus Christ you are an idiot, I pick fights with you all the time. It's part of the fun. You CHOOSE to sink to the lowest common denominator, and that you realize what a pathetic fucking move that is makes me smile. Good. Smarten the fuck up and be a better human being.
And look, what you HAVE done is caused me to think about him and I have missed him like crazy. But I'm thinking about him and remembering how much I love him. Or Loved him. Or whatever, I suppose love is eternal.
Anyway - your bad taste has, in reality, got me realizing how much I miss him.
Even now as I type this I remember his laugh, and what a fantastic little pest he was. there was very few opportunities missed to poke, slap or disturb some level of comfort every time he walked by. ALWAYS follow by the most infectious giggle you can imagine. A untapped mirth that simply inspired a happy feeling at the very core of you being.
And fuck, I tell you, that human being LIVED. We should all take a few pages from that particular handbook on life - not the whole thing, mind you, certain paths he chose are not for the majority of us to emulate... but living in the moment. Being honest. Being open. Truly listening to the person sitting in front of you. Selfless hospitality? Christ, the list of his virtues runs the gambit.
This kid was pure fucking gold.
He did everything the hard way and fuck, I mean he avoided death a few times - we always thought the kid was simply charmed. My Mom's faith in the good Lord above always just made her think that God just wasn't done with him yet... an obviously problematic theory now that he's dead, huh?
Personally I think there was no reason for his death. He was a happy, professional, genuine, loving human being with more to live for than any other time in his life. Sure, he was historically irresponsible and tested the very boundaries of life and intelligent decision making - but he always did it with a smile. And God Dammit if you didn't follow along most of the time. Fuckin' Jimmy Pop.
Wow. See Sam, this shithole just inspired me to enjoy and share some fond memories of my wonderful baby brother.
Thanks.
Oh, and I am definitely smarter than you. Like, totally.

Shades of what?
I have never claimed any moral high ground, I let my actions and my words demonstrate where I stand in that debate. I may use too many words and derive questionable enjoyment from wasting my time talking at idiots like you - but I know I am ultimately accountable for my own soul and nothing I have typed into this little box has ever been contrary to the common decency I exibit in my every day life.
You question the motivation for my posting - that is fair. I can only argue the error of your perception. Of course that has be ignored and continue to get it wrong. Not much I can do there.
Ubersite is like a digital microcosm of humanity - and you are a prime example of the sludge that circles the very bottom. Where I float is open to opinion, but I'm fairly certain it's above your greasy ass.
In closing, I would prefer you not disparage my dead brother - but there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop you. I'm quite certain there is nothing you can say that could possibly be worse than losing him. Now, if you >really< put your mind to it I bet you could come up with something that came pretty close - but that is up to you and your own conscience. I certainly wouldn't do it to you - nor anyone else in this entire world.
Yikes - That's gotta be over 300 words - shoulda probably just gone with a simple 'fuck off', but that just isn't my style.
ps: Fuck off.

so there are shades to the grey now, are there? youre not morally superior to me, as much as youd like to think you are.
what about using ones dead brother as a means to garner sympathy?
how do you think that rates on the cosmic-justice-ometer?
though by the way, im getting bored of using it as a device for entertainment. the only way to make it more 'interesting' is to become more extreme, and to be honest, im not really interested in doing that. though it is fun watching you flip-flop between morose resignation when you get sad about it, and brash arrogance when your little tail is up.
itd be great if you could post an actual picture of yourself and your (i hope) fat wife for me to have a crack at for a few days.

Wanting to punch your lights out, as mentioned, is likely a very common thing.
You are one of the people in this world that deserves to have the ever loving shit beat out of them.
Pointing that out is hardly damaging to my soul. Using someone's dead brother as a punchline for entertainment?
Good luck with that, Sammy.

Who actually uses the term pwned?
Look at your explaining yourself and trying to work it into a some kind of 'slam'. I laugh at you and you get all uppity and want to fight.
I point out an actual example of you crying over some random strangers bafflement at how you are on the MVA - God knows he isn't the only shocked observer of that particular 'accomplishment'.
And to top it off you dig back into your desperate bag of tricks mocking both my dead brother (further proving what a pathetic lump of greasy shit you are) and very highly paid talent (further proving how incredibly stupid and clueless you are.)
You are only good at being a smarmy little bitch, and occasionally stringing together a few enjoyable words.
Jesus fuck - you are one useless cunt.
ps - internet fighting is for retards. I'm well aware I'm acting like one every time I step up to the plate where as you seem to think you are above that distinction. I enjoy making you look bad - even if it's only for my own satisfaction.

Even just a bit of contamination in the drinking water can make whole populations sick. Thousands upon thousands of children die in developing countries every year from drinking feces-tainted water. So our aversion to poop isn't completely a social thing.

i wonder about this business of our poop being toxic
dog's dont' seem to suffer from eating dog poop
perhaps modern human pooop is toxic because of our diets etc
maybe cave man poop wasn't toxic
the other factor is cities etc. too much poop in an urban context is very bad.
so perhaps in days gone by, the cave men had no such concerns re poop
and of course, in the early days of agriculture, and in some places still, human poop is treasured as fertilizer
would someone mind combing through the anthropologic literature of cave men and early agricultural to see if there are any references to arse sniffing etc?
the other elmenet, of cours, is sniffing of genitals.

I'm dog-sitting for 2 dogs right now. One's a pomeranian that actually licks the other dog's piss puddles and shit-logs. What a revolting little pig.
It's a combination of factors that cause humans to be disgusted by our own/other people's waste. Mainly it's an evolutionary vestige (feces contain harmful bacteria so we're hard-wired not to want to touch it or ingest it) and socialization. We're taught from a very young age that poop and pee are nasty and should be avoided.
