This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The only people that believe that crap are 4channers dumb enough to believe that being an amoral asshole makes you smart. The reddit thing is true though.
For a while I was living in a student dorm in a student area. I was taking a walk when I saw one of those:
Not that particular piece of paper but one with the same text. Took me 2 minutes of googling to trace it back to /pol/.
I'm an atheist and ex Muslim, Islam ruined a large portion of my life... but I took that paper down anyway. Random person had the right to hang it on the street and I had the right to crumble and recycle it.
The statement itself wasn't the triggering part... The triggering part was 4chaners think they are smart or making some kind of "point" with a quipy and short sentence... hanging out behind a screen trying to affect the real world outside even though they often claim not to be social or get any sun at all. At least that sad 4channer got to take a walk to hang this up. It was confusing more than offensive, had to read it a few times to even get it lololol
4chan, like much of The Internet, is proof that what is lacking in society now is the ability for anyone to have the shit beaten out of them for saying absolute stupid, mean or destructive things.
People are being assholes online because in the real world they are sorely needing to have their ass handed to them for the stupid shit they say.
This is how the world worked for hundreds of years.
It's that no one has an actual discourse in person. That would include shame and maybe some punches to she face. The internet is now the 3rd place and it's built to extract money and be addictive.
