Reply #291: what your young friends need to understand

[northzax]

is that this is all a game. There are only a few rules, and the stakes at the future of mankind. There is no one to tell you how to play, none of them know any better. All you can do is play according to the dictates of your own personal god, knowing what the stakes are. You can't take this seriously enough to have your feelings hurt, it's not that serious, it is much, much more serious than that. At the end of the day, the rich will still be rich, the poor will still be poor, undeserving children will still die in stupid wars, so has it ever been. Life's a bugger, and all you can do is try and make it a little bit better for those that come next. On the day after either candidate wins, we will all forget our differences and team up against the greater wrong, and anyone who doesn't get that really should avoid this place and all others like this.

This is not about you, this is not about me, this not even about the freepers, it's about all of us. If one or two comments, however nasty, turn you off, perhaps another hobby is in order, go home and let those of us who actually can handle it play the game. Go back to the minors, you aren't ready to be an adult about this.
