The fact that you do not understand any of your former friends' posts points out your biggest flaw of all; that you cannot accept anyone's ideas except your own. You only hang around with or talk to others for personal amusement or because they have something you want to manipulate out of them. Further more, you refuse to believe that anyone's ideas but your own are correct, shown clearly through your ignorance to all of your former friends' addvice and warnings and don't give me the bullshit answer "I agree with you" to make it seem like you understand because you don't. Your parrents tried to help you, had sympathy for you by offering you rewards if you even showed signs of getting back on track, but you spat right in their faces as soon as they handed over what you wanted. I tried to be your friend, and you punched me for breaking a fucking stick and nearly set me on fire. Maybe if you at least respected people for trying to help you, even if you didn't believe in the system they were trying to bring you into I might at least sympathize or respect your views. Your parrents won't tollerate you forever, Eric, and when their money runs out you're going to get quite the wake up call. In a way, I still do sympathize for you. All I can say is good luck, but I can no longer tollerate being near you until you change.

You deleted my comment. Why is that Eric? I'll tell you why, it's because you hate anyone who doesn't kowtow to your every order, it's because I actually pointed out every legitimate flaw in your style of life. Why? Why do spit in the faces of your parrents? I mean you can rebel against the system, but hypocritically, you manipulate your parrents by going along with it to make them happy enough to reward you, then you scream at them and claim to be a justified, persecuted revolutionary. You manipulate people's compassion to succeed, and yes, you do have potential but you should be able to tell that you can't stomp on people forever to succeed, especially when everyone in this blog is telling you they've had enough. This is a legitimate counterpoint to your beliefs and therefore has the righ to be part of the discussion. If you delete this, you are a coward who can't accept deffeat since you cannot create a counterpoint. And don't deny that this is how you function because it is.
-James
Well then, I am merely rebutting your example and pointing out its flaws. And perhaps I did get a little personal with that last post. It's you choice whether or not you repost it.
-James
The first post is the one James thought i deleted, for some reason it deletes longer comments, if yours doesn't show up, feel free to contact me and i can make it a post so you can get your point across.
I do not censor comments or posts unless they contain links to porn.
Now that that is out of the way i would like to say a few things regarding what he has to say.
First, when it comes to my parents, i choose not to discuss them specifically for personal reasons. So, from where you stand it may look like i am a dick to my parents, and you would be right, but only half so, there is a lot going on behind the scenes, so i would prefer if you left the relationship i have with my parents out of any points you wish to make.
Secondly, it is not that i never take others views because thats just how i am, no, if someone makes a valid point that is backed up by irrefutable evidence i will of course believe in that idea, however, i believe that you should think the way you want to and in what you believe, whether is is right, wrong, opinion, or theological. Its more about being yourself than not listening to others, also all the points i said i agree with i honestly do. School is important, it makes life easier, it gets you connections, it helps develop social skills, writing skills (which i lack) and many other points that were put out there, im not arguing school is bad, just that it isnt necessary.
Next, dont rehash old events, and only a few people know the what happened at the crew party, however if you took that personally i apologize, i never intended it to be that way. i was merely angry that you basically went with the "if i cant have it no one can" approach, and maybe i went overboard, people make mistakes, you have, everyone on here with beef has. Maybe im making a mistake by not going to school, but i have the right too, and if i think i can succeed in doing that, if not then sucks for me right? but there is no reason for everyone to hate in the comments.
Last, on the manipulating people to get what i want, isn't that a good thing? look at Marc Zuckerburg, he dropped his friends shares by 1000% and took all the money for himself. Is he a dick? YES, is he the worlds youngest billionaire? YES! It may not be nice or the right thing to do, and im certainly not saying im the next marc zuckerburg, all im saying is that seems to work out pretty well in the end.
James if you truly want to not be friends with me because my choice of education, or my relationship with my parents, the fact that im flawed (like we all are), or fight for myself, then YOU are the dick.
But, you have every right to be a dick, and if thats what you want, then ok. Good Luck in life. or Semper Fi

firstly, I am neutral since I am good friends with James and Eric here.I hope we can get out all this personal shit once and for all so we can move on to deeper issues. But James, your points about Eric not accepting others' ideas into his own thought process i believe is completely false. I'm sorry but I have had a seemingless infinite amount of discussions with Eric on all kinds of shit and he ALWAYS want to hear opposing views. I think he is more interested in the thoughts of those that think differently to him than those who think similarly.
ReplyDeleteEric, your comment about zuckerberg is crazy dude. Manipulating people to get what you want is not a good thing because you end up being left with nothing in the end, with the thing you chased having disappeared only to be replaced by an emptiness from that which you left behind..
i never said that is was good, and your right in the end it may end up worse (overall) but you have to admit it is an effective way to get what you want
ReplyDelete"Last, on the manipulating people to get what i want, isn't that a good thing? "-Eric Maier
ReplyDeleteFair enough, i didn't consider the extreme long term consequences, so i edit my statement
ReplyDelete"manipulating people is effective at getting what you want, however in the long term you may end up being the loser"
Ok, that thing about Zuckerberg is ridiculous. There are two kinds of people in this world (IMO): Those who value relationships and connections with people above all else, and those who simply value money and business and careers. The latter usually end up to be generally lonely, unhappy people. If you think Zuckerberg was happy that he abandoned his closest friends, I suggest you watch the movie again, lol. Sure, he's a fucking billionaire, but ironically, he has no friends because he stepped on everyone to get to the top. I don't want to see you be like that. I know you have much more potential to do better things than that. He did some shitty things, and no one's really proud of him for getting sued by his best friend for an insane amount of money.
ReplyDeleteAs for Taylor's comment, I think Eric only likes to hear different opinions is so that he can bash them down. I've heard him have a conversation and that's pretty much what happens, haha.
Zukerberg went to Harvard and actually educated himself first. And you think I dislike you for your beliefs on education? No, I dislike you because you're an asshole and treat people like shit for attention, just like this whole blog.
ReplyDelete-James
As james said he dropped out of harvard, just like bill gates went to harvard, and dropped out, BUT THEY BOTH WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL
ReplyDeletecome on eric you are better than this
-harry
Honestly, I know I'm one to let personal feelings get in the way, but we are trying to help you, Eric. You have potential, but in denying school you show your flaw of not being able to learn from others and how can you succeed in a society whose system you reject?
ReplyDelete-James
haha, everyone calls me stupid, yet you all still fail to realize this isn't about me or attention or whatever, its a debate, on necessity of schooling, you all want to use it as a chance to make it personal, fine its your prerogative. If i wanted attention i would write about how i'm soo great at everything and i was abducted by aliens or some shit. This is simply a discussion, some of you have valid points, and if you dropped the personal bullshit, it would be an excellent post.
ReplyDeleteThis schooling thing is only going to be up for a day or two more, and then we are moving on
yeah I'm with Eric, this blog as far as I thought was not really personal at all, more about deep issues, so I say we stick to that
ReplyDeletenot that some of the points others are making arent true
ReplyDeleteYou know what eric, i have one simple thing to say to you, and that is F*** off Who are you trying to fool??? Patent??? 5 million dollars??? to be honest, i simply don't give a s*** about what you do. This blog isn't about having people debate about political agendas and what not. Its about U. U want us to talk about you and waste our time. If you really want to stick it to ur parents or to the man. how about you go to school get a good education, then flip your parents off and never talk to them. Who are to be all day sitting on your lazy ass and posting a blog. i mean look at yourself if you had even a shred of dignity you would come to school and thank you parents for allowing you to still live in their house.
ReplyDeletewow people really dont know how to read, and im the one who needs to go to school...
ReplyDeleteactually to "anonymous" this blog is definitely about having debates, the commenters have tried to hijcack it and make it something different, at least thats what i was hoping it would be when i heard about it...
ReplyDeleteThis blog is Eric trying to get attention. Simple as that. If he wants to waste his life trying to fool himself that he can do whatever he wants without a diploma, that's his problem. I think we should all just ignore him and then maybe he'll see how important it is to have people on your side, and a diploma under your belt.
ReplyDeleteIf its all about me trying to get attention, then why are you here reading it..... if i want to waste my life, that is my prerogative, and if you care so little leave, and let people who actually want to discuss things do that, if you would like to take part, i believe that Taylor Wilson will be starting the healthcare debate tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteEmaier, i like the way you think. WHen yo burn in hell for being a fucked up person who cant tell the truth even if their life depended on it, Im inviting you to chill me with. :)
ReplyDelete- Adofl Hitler -
Poster who said they are hitler, Hitler would never want to hang out with eric maier, Hitler is a geneus. he was able to take control of most of europe. Hitle>Eric maier.
