Why don't these things write themselves?

I'm applying for a position at work (highly doubtful that I'll get it, but we'll see) and, not having applied for anything in over three years, could not find my resume, and had to make it from scratch  tonight

1. Duuude. I would have kicked that guy out on the street first thing--if a guy is that much of an asshole to take his girlfriend's affection so much for granted that he bangs other women, he needs a reality check.

2. Judging from my experience with suicidal people and depression, that guy would have never shot either his wife or kids--he was being selfish and wanted attention right to the end, and killing everyone else wouldn't leave anyone to remember his last deed by. I'm confused as to why no one seems to care that he's possibly scarred his kids for life, and rather seem to blame the woman who probably wanted to divorce him because he probably had been displaying signs of minor psychosis for weeks and who probably was worried about her own safety to the point that she removed herself from his presence to the garage. Just--gah. Sometimes I wonder if that "thou shalt not judge thy neighbor" thing in the bible was really the author of said book's way of saying that people are normally too dumb to make sound judgments without

1. Apparently, I'm not allowed to have an opinion since i've never been dumped by someone who then continued to live with me while going out with the person he dumped me for. Or something.

2. Like I said, I don't know nearly enough about these things to have a hard judgement there (though I can verify that, when I knew him, he was was attention hungry), it just bugs me that everyone's busy wondering why he didn't kill his wife first and trying to find reasons that make him look good.

*shakes fist at peoplekind*

But if we don't understand poor tortured men, who's going to make the hurt go away?

seems to be vaguely assigning the blame to her

D: Are you serious.

[meganbmoore]

I was TRYING to avoid going there. But yeah.

It's so haaaard to be a cheating asshole these days. Crazy wimmens.

I have to admit I'm pretty much with you 100% on your apparent "hardheartedness". Why should the woman sacrifice herself for some guy who just dumped her? No frakking way. If he was going to cheat on her, and then dump her then not having anywhere to live is just one of the consequences of his actions and he needs to face those consequences or he'll have learnt nothing!

As for the second one, committing suicide is one of the most selfish acts a person can ever do. I have been depressed, I have thought about suicide, I have wished that I could die, but having had an ex-boyfriend kill himself after I refused to get back together with him and having to spend the last 15 years with that guilt I know that that is something I could never do to anyone else. So my heart goes out to his family who are know left to pick up the scattered pieces of the life that he has left for them.

Of course, society's ideas have convinced her that it would be mean and wrong.

Yeah, I have difficulty regarding suicide as not being selfish myself.

[animeshon]

I am a big believer in not sheltering people from the consequences of the actions. It's one of the things that annoyed me so much with my recent breakup. My ex has done exactly what he did to me to another friend and will continue to do so because it has no effect on him.

To the first, be sure to add raging homophobia when it clicked for the others that she was bisexual.

[meganbmoore]

And apparently, being bisexual makes you're a complete slut, and being straight is normal, being gay is strange but not unforgivable, but being bi means you're endangering both genders. No, I do not know how that last one works at all. I was refusing to engage further even before "well if she likes both, you know she's a complete playgirl."

I feel like most people waste too much time wondering why when they should really be trying to work through/deal with their situation

[meganbmoore]

Oh, she knew. I very vaguely remember this person from when she worked there ages ago, and she...wasn't particularly someone I cared to associate with.

But the thing is that people apparently don't think that the one who was cheated on should move on. She should wait in stasis while he flits between them and she supports him and the other woman suggests that they should all live together. Because, of course, men just can't help cheating sometimes and women should put up with it. Or something.
