From what I've read, about 29% of the population has these sadistic tendencies. Wow. I don't like hurting other people; it doesn't make me feel good or superior to know that I'm hurting or annoying someone else. I used to work with a guy who would make it his business to learn his co-workers weaknesses, so that his could use that knowledge to annoy or hurt them. He would delight in their misery. And yet, if you were in need, or any kind of help, he'd be the first person to step up and do what could. So maybe trolls aren't all bad. And if you're going to be an everyday sadist, internet forums are a relatively harmless venue to channel your energy. I am so setting myself up for getting trolled.........!

lol pu ssy.

Sadists are never satisfied with only online access. They always crave more like doxxing and stalking. Inflicting pain is like a drug to them.

29% seems like a serious overestimate. There aren't that many real assholes in the world, but the amount of trouble they cause is out of proportion to their numbers. Not to mention the level of attention they're given. Which is exactly what they're looking for. Yeah, if you're unhappy with your life you want to make things better for yourself. I don't understand how making things worse for others substitutes for that, or makes you feel any better. But apparently there are enough knuckleheads out there who do get something out of it. If you're looking to make sense of this I can't help you. People like that just strike me as sad and pathetic.

+chrisjdel: The 29% should read "of people tested", not population. The testing was done in a study for Psychology Today. But from what I've seen of life so far, do I think about three out of ten people get satisfaction from hurting others? Yup.

I was once accused of being a troll on the star trek board. I was serious about my question. If Vulcans came to Earth today and if a human had sex with a Vulcan under our LAWS he/she would be guilty of beastality. Was that a troll question??

Depends on the rest of your posting history. There's a troll from the old IMDB Walking Dead board who kept asking what Jenner whispered to Rick at the CDC. That could have been a legitimate question, but it wasn't coming from him.

Actually, our far-sighted politicians have never crafted laws that cover extraterrestrials or AIs. And they won't until we're actually confronted with a situation involving one or the other (I'm guessing there will be AIs long before we meet actual aliens). Bestiality only applies to animals. What legal status an alien being would have under our laws is a good question. I imagine a big ship in orbit would probably convince anyone with half a brain that they should be treated with respect though.

👏👊👍 Kay would probably think that the victim of a mass shooting is the problem rather than the victim. And, the reason why the shooter decided to shoot and kill everyone is because they shouldn't have been wherever they were in the first place. Or they zigged when they should have zagged. In other words...blame the victim...not the perp.

No. Kay thinks people who compare meanie mcmeanersons on the internet with mass shooters need to turn off the screen for a few days and take a few breaths.

Just checked out another board and..."I SEE TROLLS".

Weed smoking, video game playing, living in parents basement, B-word talking TROLLS. 👺👺👺

I think we may need to escalate the, "REPORT, IGNORE" request. We may also need to put in a request marked "EXILE" and shoot 🔫 them into space 🚀🌕 👽 like what they did to the villains 🕵on Krypton with the clear floating disc in space.

Seems like an argument may be in the works between new comers that just arrived today.

The honeymoon 👰💑 period is coming to a close quickly. ⏳

Note: Weed 🌿😧 smoking 🚬 optional...due to medicinal purpose. 🤔

Please post a list of all these offensive trolls & I will go about reporting them to the admins. BTW do you have the admins phone number?
