Why do people tap their breaks in the left lane when passing someone slower on the right?

Please stop. Tap your breaks if you're signaling something going on in front, or if you need to slow down faster than just taking your foot off the gas will slow you.

Ingratitude

I don't understand why we gotta argue all the time like is it really a big deal if you put the milk cereal??

Why any human being actually believes they're somehow going to find salvation. That's what I don't understand. We're all prejudiced, we're all full of our own bigotry toward others, we're temperamental, gun happy, torture-loving monsters. Humans are not designed to be "loving" creatures, and we continue to think the horrors we do will somehow be forgotten or forgiven. I'm reminded of the movie "From Hell." This is what people are, the rough smut of beasts, slouching toward Bethlehem, not to honor or repair but to destroy it with our anger.

I'm always amazed about how we use the term "humanly" to express kindness. doesn't seems to fit the actual behaviour of the species indeed.

We do pretty well on average. Problem is, destroying things is a lot easier than building things, so it only takes a small number of absolute bastards to ruin it for everyone, and helpful people are much less likely to just kill those guys than the other way around.

True enough. There are kind people out there, but they get drowned out by the ocean of evil and corruption that overwhelms our world.

We have this notion (bred by a delusion of civility) that we are somehow a peace-making race. Which is about as true as saying that rabies is a fun disease of peaceful bliss. We are all rabid monsters, humans have what anthropologists call a "reptilian brain." We're about getting everything for ourselves, and leaving nothing for others. We grab all we can off the table, and then spit bile over what remains so those below can have nothing good for themselves. We're evil, we're sick, we're all the same. So this war in the middle East is just a fun lark, once you see the real truth.
