Do you do a silent happy dance or are you genuinely upset for them?

Perplexing huh?

it just reminds me that everyone gets what is deserved in due time.

I'll count that as a

Revolution said:

mmm, a little of both. i don't think it's healthy to gloat TOO much over someone else's misfortunes, even if they deserve it. nothing wrong with a smug, satified little smirk for a few seconds, though.

Karma man

... but sometimes it doesn't seem to go around fast enough!!

Nope, gots to stay humble. I don't know what might lie around the corner for me, so I'm not going to waste my time celebrating someone else's misfortune. A brief smile, perhaps.

Fauxie said:

Agreed

Not enough bad stuff happens to bad people.

I'm more of a redemption type of personality...as in if someone or many someones do me wrong and then one by one get their comeuppance...that makes me do serious....

I agree. The cool part is being there and watching it in the front row! Got to love it. Like my boss giving me hell and then begging for my help. That was beautiful. It is a very touching and rewarding experience for me!

ShySlantedEye1 said:

Hell Yeah!!....as one of my former Sergeant Majors put it....

"Castration at dawn, with mountains of hot buttery popcorn for the show..."

....are we evil for deriving such pleasure from that?

Revolution said:

My first answer would be that I'm never happy over anybody's disgrace.

But then I look at my sig and think: Damn, he deserved it!

bad stuff happening to bad people? i'd like to see more of that.

Karma is not to be underestimated

My Mum passed away in 1998 but for quite some time before that she had been seeing this man who I will not dignify with a name... he made the last months of her life terrible by stalking, slashing the tyres of friends cars and generally just harrassment. he is the only person I can genuinely say I hate with a passion... a few months after Mum passed away friends told us they saw him and his wife dining in the same restaurant as they were and he had had a bad accident and lost one of his eyes. I know it's evil but the first thought that came to me was "karma, baby, karma" again, the only person I've ever thought truly evil of...

Agreed

in small doses and not too violent of course.

god.. sorry to hear that...

Revolution said:

I this thread!

Revolution said:

as much as I'd like to dance, I've learned that when I resent someone for something they've done, I'm better off wishing for them, the same things i wish for myself.

Bunch of hippy-lovin' non-committal cunts. "It's not a religion, it's a philosophy, a way of thinking". Pick a God, you fucks!

Revolution said:

I do a LOUD happy dance! I love it when the evil get theirs. F--- all that PC crap. I have no sympathy for the wicked - my heart goes to their victims.

Fauxie said:

there's not even a decent mascot! some old dude on a buffalo? bring a book.

Anx said:

Dude probably didn't even exist, and buffalos? I've never seen one. Pray to something you cunts! Can't you give eggs to a gold-leaf statue at least? Fuck, it's like Buddhism for lazy bastards who don't want karma cookies.

Fauxie said:

they could come up with some kung-fu hippie or at least a clown with a big fat purple sidekick. something.

I've spent quite some time thinking about this, and whether or not I believe in karma. Yeah, I like it when bad people get what's coming to them, no matter how bad it might be. I'll even help dish it out.

Ding dong the witch is dead.

i totally would not have expected such a response from you. you're generally so gentle and empathetic.

My mama didn't raise no contrarians, but I really don't believe in bad. I believe in rogue neurons, maybe. Bad things, bad people, good things, good people, it's a bit silly if you had hubble's glass eye. Human perspective is bloody odd indeed and there's a slice of wet tissue between the killer and the monk.
Gk Chesterton once said something like 'The poet only wants his head in the clouds, but the logican seeks to get the heavens in his head. And it is his head that splits.'
This means fuck the logic and morality. Let's dance on the grave of that faldecrest fuzziness.
