@ Hayley: Because good people get shite thrown in their faces almost constantly when they've barely done anything wrong in their entire life. Which would be fair if that happened to absolutely everyone...but it doesn't. You've got murderers, rapists, peadophiles etc walking around happy as larry and barely anything bad happens to them.
People work hard to get where they are and then basically get shat on by the government. Teachers, for example. Not mention all the rubbish that's going down over here about people's pensions. I don't think it's fair at all. But hey, that's the way it goes.

hm.. i'm not really sure there are any people who have barely done anything wrong in their entire life.
Most people have done many horrible selfish things. I take every good experience as a blessing. A bonus - Definitely not a given. Who is anyone to demand or expect a pain-free life? This is what i mean by life is fair. Cos anyone who feels "jipped" by life, must be pretty damn selfish and theyre the last people to deserve "happiness".
People who truly deserve what we call "happiness" are generally already happy.
Its the same as pity. Never pity anyone. People who want it, dont deserve it. People who deserve it, dont want it or need it.
As far as rapists, murderers, p-files and the usual culprits go.... I have yet to encounter a single one who is happy as larry. Except perhaps the crazy ones, in which case - theyre crazy. You cant really count them. The only reason ANYONE hates other people is because they hate themself. Put yourself in the shoes of a murderer and try to imagine feeling a sense of fulfillment. They are desperate people. The self-loathing they have, and the pity others hold for them is the worst thing anyone can experience.
"Nice" and "fair" are just different things.

Maybe not done anything wrong...but i know a hell of a lot of people who are have been pretty "good", but have still got s*it smeared in their face on quite a regular basis. You can't really expect anything from life, but it would be nice for some people to not live a life of pain and suffering.
I don't think it's a case of people feeling "jipped", i think it's more of a case of people thinking "i can't handle this anymore". They are the ones who are fucked over by life and do deserve the happiness.

"pretty good"? .. well i dont really believe in the concept of a heirachy of sinfulness. We're all as bad as each other as far as i'm concerned.
And i dont really see how you're trying to seperate being "jipped" from being "fucked over by life". Sound like exactly the same things to me.
Everyone has their own s*i* to deal with. Just because some people in life are ungrateful, or selfish, or self-righteous or narrowminded or more prone to whining or whatever! - doesnt make them a better person than anyone else.

"Life is unfair". It's a simple concept that you don't seem to understand.
For some people life is unfair. Unfair means unjust and as long as there is EVIL in this world, there will always be injustice.
To the families of the 2,700+ people working inside the WTC who got burned alive and crushed to death, life is unfair. To the hundreds of thousands of people who were victims of genocide under Milosevic's rule, life is unfair. To the tens of thousands of people who were gassed by Saddam, life is unfair. To the people who went to or are in jail but are innocent, life is unfair. To the children who got molested, life is unfair.
Life is shitty, nice, beautiful, complicated, good, sucks, sweet, vibrant and UNFAIR is definitely a qualifying adjective to life. Capiche?

I am not disputing the notion that life is fair to others.
My point here is, nobody can say categorically that 'life is fair' because for some people, life circumstances are not fair to them.

Wrong again princess.

What about families that are ripped apart? Children that lose one, or both, of their parents? Or their silblings? People who are sexually, physically and mentally abused every day of their lives? Children shoved around from foster home to foster home, not wanted by anyone?
Don't know about you Luke, but i'd say that they are justified to say that life is not fair.

hell, i'd say anyone who's ever lived and breathed is not justified to cry about life being unfair.
Life is fucking incredible. For everyone, no exception. The chances of merely being born are one in a million trillion.
Life is unfair?? what the hell does life owe us? What have any of us done that entitles us to a pain free life? There is not one combination of bad experiences that could come close to overshadowing the immense priveledge we are all born with.
Unfair? life is not a person. Life has no motives. no agenda. Life cannot BE anything BUT fair.
Anyone who chooses not to commit suicide is clearly admitting even by their own reckoning that ultimately, it IS fair. Having said that, all suicide can ever prove is selfishness and ungratefulness. Good fucking riddance.

yea i disagree, but not totally..
i wouldnt say people in general, groups or individuals, are assholes - cant generalise like that.
but yea there are a lot of assholes around..
i also believe there are people, family especially, that you can trust
but we all have opinions :)

for the most part that is true, but not always, I have friends I can really depend on and would never hurt me, and anyone a friend of mine, knows they can depend on me as well!!!
As they say though, if you want something done, do it yourself, less aggravation and no waiting...lol
