Life is too full of people who don't care.
Too many people have almost NO empathy.
No empathy, and they run around hurting everyone else without caring at all.
There are some people who do care how others feel, but they are more hurt by non-empathetic people than others because they care about the other people but are treated like crap in return.
Now, I would start to try and make a change here, but this is life. It is the fundamental truth about things.
If anyone disagrees, post why here.
If anyone agrees, post why here.
I guess its just some jumbled up thoughts, but in the end empathy is what stops people from doing horrible things to other people.
Now, lets get back to our lives full of crap.
Thats what you were doing just a minute ago, right?

Especially on the internet, right? People just feel that since nobody knows who they are they can act like complete assholes and feel the same about themselves, because it's nobody they know personally. NEWS FLASH: It's a real guy out there, and it does make people angry and sad.

I think that this pretty much sums it up.

Ha I've been thinking the same kinds of things lately. For most people, life is about them and what they can do for themselves, regardless of what happens to other people. It's really not that hard to have some empathy, to actually care about other people, and yet no one does. I wish everyone could just have some care for people...
Like that's going to happen...

I think electronics is part of it. Now, you can say whatever you want, but we have no reference here. This age is the first where we can anonymously insult, threaten, harass, or do otherwise to anyone we wish. There is nothing from any time before this age to see how it affects our behavior in actuality, or just on the internet. We even act different on facebook.
Its EASIER to be a jerk when the other person can't touch you. You feel safe.

I have other people's signatures stuck off, so I can't ever seem them. Oh well.
I agree. Most people are selfish and don't care about others. If all people loved their fellow man the way God wanted them to, this world would be a lot better place.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13:4–8a
There are other reasons that people do not do horrible things.
For example, having and using a brain able to predict obvious future events.
>If I kill someone, the police will put me in jail forever.
>Jail is a very horrible and boring place with no upsides.
>Do not kill people.
Or desire to have respect from others, or be promoted.
>If I'm mean to this person at work, other people will dislike me.
>If I'm mean to this person at work, I could get fired, and certainly not promoted.
>Being fired is bad.
>Do not be mean to this person at work.
Not that I'm endorsing apathetic behavior.
It's definitely stupid, but not the only reason for unkind people.
If someone has a problem, I either help them or (if on a forum) do not post.
IRL, I try my best as I can't ignore them without seeming mean.
The only exception is if the person with the problem is one of the 50% of my german class. Those people are stupid beyond imagination and rude in every possible way.

Now, now, children, your uncle DethPotato is here to tell you to be nice to each other regardless of each others' opinions. He is also coming here to tell you to either make a new thread regarding this topic, or get back on the main topic of this thread. Or, you could slightly change the topic of this thread so that your current discussion fits.
Everyone has seen the very numerous threads bashing the various features of 1.9, Notch, Mojang, etc. Can we turn down the hating? Just a little bit? Sure, everyone may not be pleased with enchanting, or potions, but really, is it at all realistic to expect that Notch will undo his work from the past several weeks and take these features out? One, that would infuriate far more players than it might pacify, and two, something like that is completely unprecedented in a game as popular as Minecraft. Complete feature removal? Forget about it. Nobody is forcing you to use enchantments and potions.
.
Adding an XP bar does NOT, I repeat NOT turn Minecraft into an RPG. An RPG, to quote the dictionary, is a game in which players assume the roles of characters in a fictional setting and take those characters through a structured narrative or structured decision making.
.
Fantasy elements are often found in RPGs, but the reverse is NOT true. Fantasy != RPG. XP bar + minor fantasy elements does not and WILL NEVER equal an RPG in Minecraft, since Minecraft is completely devoid of a plot whatsoever.
.
Finally, at the end of the day, you have to give Notch and Mojang some credit for what they have accomplished. Minecraft has over 3 million users. If Mojang was making bad gameplay decisions, why is Minecraft one of the most popular video games of all time? Because Mojang knows what they are doing. The success of Minecraft is testament to it.
.
tl;dr: If you cannot come up with a completely valid reason for claiming that 1.9 ruins Minecraft, please keep your mouth shut.
There are other reasons that people do not do horrible things.

>If I kill someone, the police will put me in jail forever.
I can kill someone at my age, then get out of Juvenile Hall at age 18 with a clean record.
>Jail is a very horrible and boring place with no upsides.
For some people, jail conditions are better than home.
>Do not kill people.
Or desire to have respect from others, or be promoted.
>If I'm mean to this person at work, other people will dislike me.
>If I'm mean to this person at work, I could get fired, and certainly not promoted.

Empathy is still important, especially for those who are a bit smarter (as in they try to understand things). I don't know. I'm tired. Don't listen to me.

Stevie Wonder is blind.
