It's been brought to my attention that some see me as arrogant and disrespectful. This is my answer to that. For one, the things I say are the same thoughts that many people think and don't say. Why don't those people say them? Because it's wrong, because it's cruel, because they've been told they shouldn't. And who has declared these things so? Some philosopher in the distant past who sought to put reason and structure to the chaotic realm of man. And so important did this person think himself that he aimed to put his "morality" to all humans. That his ideas of right and wrong should be universal. And I laugh. Does the hypocrisy strike anyone else? Arrogance in the past, that disrespected the concepts that others constructed according to the manner in which they viewed this world, has bred the arrogance of today that would lead us to say another is arrogant and disrespectful because he doesn't mask his ability or his praise and scorn. Consider for a moment the way in which our brains are constructed. Our id, instinct and pleasure, seeks to escape an overpowering superego, "morality" and the like, but there are no such restraints on the id. We are set to seek pleasure, to say that which comes to mind. When I see an animal shredded by a fiercer animal, a field mouse by a hawk, I smirk, I smile, I laugh. I'm not ashamed of that. While I walk through this existence nearly every moment is a wish to hurt something, to destroy something, and that doesn't bother me. Savages, undeveloped, uncivilized. Savages were the ones bound in chains in this plane, but they weren't held by them in the others. The chains that would have one resign to capture and imprisonment, versus the freedom from them that would facilitate escape. Dancing flames, lightening, tidal waves, meteors, earthquakes. Fantastic displays of nature's destructive capabilities, and they entertain me immensely. Blood, oh blood, that you might poor down the streets in flood.

well viewers, now it's your turn to vote. scale 1-10, how arrogant am i, and how much right do i have to be so? if you don't do the number thing, i'd appreciate a bit of comment/input anyways :)
