I don't give a shit....and neither should you.

[Japanfreak]

If you haven't hit your bong yet do it please, then come talk to me.

Often when I have a thought I hit google with words and see if I can't find a sound track to go along with them. The thought, based on monkey research was "do what the monkey man do" and this is the soundtrack.

So here it is people, I totally believe in the idea that we can't really give a shit about more than about 50 people because we are programed for tribes.

By giving a shit about people who mean shit to you, you are hurting your fellow man!!!

OK take a breath and relax. I know you're a kind person so chill.

We can do good for our fellow man and not give a flying fuck about them.

OK relax again and take another hit

Remember those 100k who died in the tital wave? I don't give a shit.

Remember those Chilean miners? I really really don't give a shit.

I mean shit yeah, I shed a tear over the 100K who died.....but I cried more when Bruce Willis died in Armageddon (it's a parent thing, movie sucked donkey balls).

Doesn't mean that I can't donate money to them, because I know it's the right thing, but honestly it means diddly shit to me.

We need to know our limitations, otherwise people will take advantage of our desire to be good people.

We can't really give a shit about people we don't know, we can try, but we don't. It's fucking entertainment.

So here's what I want you to do. From this day forward don't give a shit about anybody you don't know.....but care a lot about the 50 people around you. That's it.




By the way, the Chilean prez? That fucker brought credit card debt to his people and they call him a hero for showing up. Don't give a shit!!!!

Uh, yeah. Perhaps you should put DOWN the bong, dude. Just a suggestion.

 

[Japanfreak]

That's not a suggestion, not even a thought. It's a reaction, a knee jerk, an itch, resist.

 

[poplars]

hmm interesting thought.. we can do things for the general good of the people, but manually helping 1000s of people by yourself is impossible.. so I'm kinda with the OP on this one, it really is only possible to truly care about 50 people...

 

[hughesresearch]

well, i hit my bong, watched the video, rolled up a blunt, watched the video, read the words. you cant say you dont give a shit if you care at all. if you even say that sucks, you give a shit to some point. no it does not affect us, but when it does, you will really give a fuck. if your a survivor of a tidal wave and everything around u is fucked, you really really give a fuck and one last thing, i now, do not give a fuck about you, so...lets see where this goes lol.

I hit my bong, read the first post.

Just another punk who thinks he knows how the world works.

My high kicked in and i immediately hit the back button.

immediately eh...

 

[juleswinnfield]

i kinda agree with the op

except i don't think anyone really gives a shit already..

they feel bad but that really only goes so far.

i think natural disasters and high death tolls just scare people into thinking it could happen to the .. so people all of a sudden care for a bit ... than everyone forgets cause everyone is too into themselves

 

[hughesresearch]

@juleswinnfield so sad but mostly true. but he said give a shit, not caring. by posting this he gives a shit or wouldnt take the time. either that or hes trying a freud experiment.

 

[tip top toker]

I think my mother would simply paraphrase it as "chose your battles"

I certainly agree to an extent, i mean how many countries (uk for one!) are currently paying tens and hundreds of millions in foreign aid, desite the fact that the economy and country is going to utter shit. The Uk is currently making changes to pretty much try and fuck up anyone wihtout a good backgrounds chance of university, yet they have money enough to be giving £50 million out in aid and almost that again every single day just to be part of the EU. Stop thinking about everyone and takee care of the people right in front of them.

 

[poplars]

the way I see it is this, if everyone cares for 50 people, the whole world is accounted for, the end.

edit: hell, if even 60% cared thats still everyone all accounted for, hah.

 

[juleswinnfield]

@juleswinnfield by posting this he gives a shit or wouldnt take the time. either that or hes trying a freud experiment.

i dunno..

i actually kinda think its a pretty legit discussion topic

 

[hughesresearch]

tip top: yeah but you cant say fuck them or we end up in fuckin war, your getting into politics with this topic.

 

[fizzle]

I didn't hit the bong, nor joint, nor anything. Great post, wish I was back in Greece.

 

[juleswinnfield]

but when we say we should only care for those 50 people... what does that really mean.. we just feel bad when they get hurt or die?

no that means you'll go out and help them. as if they were your 'tribe'

a lot different than just caring. maybe 30 people is more reasonable than 50... dunno what the optimum number would be, that would be entirely based on your own capabilities.

 

[420God]

I don't give a shit either. Don't even watch the news. In fact I get pissed when people even bring up bullshit disasters that have nothing to do with me.

If I'm not part of it, I don't care.

 

[jesus of Cannabis]

maybe thats the problem with the world is that noone gives a shit anymore, or at least they out number the ones that do give a shit.

agreed, and im the one with ftw tatted on my neck

but if its a natural disaster than what are you supposed to do? if someone dies they die

the normal natural thing to do if you survive is find other survivors no matter who was part of your 'tribe'.

i can see if someone you care about gets sick you should help them but people don't help out random people with cancer or ms as it is.. they give to charities

so really we already are only caring only for our tribes... aka our family and friends.. you know? careing for dead people on the other side of the world is totally up to the individual, either way it doesnt change anything
