Interesting. Many creative minds have Manic Depressive Disorder. Mania has always helped my creativity.

"No one asked for your sympathy, just like no one asked for your opinion."

There is a comment box under the video I assume its for people to use, This sentence you wrote is pretty much useless , just because none asked for an opinion dose not mean sum-one should not make one and it does not mean that that opinoin is valid or not valid.

"If you don't know who he is, why are you commenting?
Do you go to funerals and tell people "I don't know who he is but, he's probably a cunt!" "

So you know Steve jobs personally ? I am at his funeral now ? 99.9% of people who know about Steve jobs don't know him in the slightest. Maby you should pay more atention when you read what people say I said "We have this weird artificial image of him I don't even know who he is , he is probably as much a cunt as he is a nice guy." I did not say he was a cunt I said he was "probably as much a nice guy as he was a cunt" The point is Its impossible to really know there are reports of him being caring and reports of him being an exploitative bastard.

"Some people accomplish great things in life. You accomplished nothing.
Your death will be morned by no one."

Who are you to say what is a grate thing ? you don't know me or what I have done , say I have done nothing in life , but I have an organ doner card that gives another person life. To me that would be a far grater achievement than making lots of money or a successfully buissiness leader.

The numbers of people that morn you or not often has no baring on how "good" a person you are or the achievements you have made in life. I'm sure there are many people that have died who were arguably far more significant for man kind than steve jobs who were moard by noone or by very few people.

"I hope you die and to paraphrase Louie CK, I hope your mother has sex with someone with AIDS so she'll die. But before she dies, I hope you have sex with her, so you get AIDS and you'll die too."

Now you are wishing death on sum-one you don't know I can see how that's constructive , Its also really lazy as an insult to quote a comedian for an insult in the way you have done. It would make sense if a comedian had said a specific thing that carries a point across well , but in this case your just being lazy.

In the end you have failed to comprehend my first comment and as a result talked utter nonsense. You should probably think about what other people write and try and see where they are coming from before you get angry and comment back.

It made me sad that he is dead which is pretty fucked up and shows you how shallow emotions can be, logically I don't care that he is dead not any more than any other person that has died.
We have this weird artificial image of him I don't even know who he is , he is probably as much a cunt as he is a nice guy.
Just because sum-one can be more easily attributed for there effect on the world should not mean we should necessarily celebrate them more or less than other people , or morn them more ore less than other people.

I never liked him, I worked for Apple in the mid 90's and Apple is worse than Convergence, he rewarded people that worked 90+ hours a week and if one of them happen to doze off he would go into major rages and fire them publicly in front of everyone. He had major problem with anger in the office.

That movie pirates of silicon valley was dead on how Steve was in real life. It led to him being fired by the board but he did return of course and after his firing he cooled down a bit.

I worked there for 3 years and saw a couple of his major rage outbursts publicly firing several for not meeting a deadline, yelling, cursing and throwing his patented Steve fits.

Overall he was a nice guy, but I swear he was bipolar.

I left on my own when I had to move due to financial issues and wound up moving to easy coast and working for Mythic before they were bought by EA games then was part of the massive layoffs by EA.

EA is the real devil

Kind of the same feeling here. Every time I hear about a celebrity death, I wonder how many people died the same day who are completely unsung. Maybe I'm just bitter about those princess diana trading cards I got off ebay...

Haha. That's pretty good. Here's the truth in case anyone cares.

I unfriended DFT on FB a while back, and he's never let it go. I re-friended him because he came to a screening of my film. Later he unfriends me and then takes some sanctimonious position of whatever the hell who knows. He's a nice guy, and I like him, but I have a lot of good friends IRL and losing an internet friend isn't going to make me lose any sleep.

I still thank you for taking the time to drive from OC to LA to watch my film in a theater. Thank you for that. All this "Glenn close in Fatal Attraction" narrative is silly.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Just because you don't know him personally, doesn't mean your feelings of sadness are not valid. We're modern, tool-using, human beings and touched in all kinds ways by people we don't directly know. I cried when Ol' yeller died. A fictional character, not even in my species. >> ^westy:

Looks like the operator went for the shark. What a nice guy.

I agree, the system favors the douche bags. But I just wonder what makes Ron Paul so different? I don't follow us politics closely, but I remember a certain candidate 4 years ago running a campaign of "change", also saying things like "call back the troops", "close Gitmo", etc. He also was perceived as honest and different.
Look how well this turned out.

Well, concerning politicians I'm just a cynic.

Stop Voting For Liars!
So, you're suggesting to stop voting for any politician?

No. We have created this problem because NICE GUYS FINISH LAST. Why blame the player when we have set up the game purposefully against them? Like a football game that everyone does steriods, except those honest guys who lose.
Who runs to lose? And what good does that do? So far I have seen rare ones who tell the truth and I lean towards Paul on this one. He says things that may be wrong (Disable most federal programs) but he says things that slice off his own foot--I.e. HONESTY. (Like, call back the troops, Iran is not a threat, stop corporate welfare...)

Ya that game shit always gives me douche-chills.

But most women can tell when a move is being pulled on them. It works because they let it work, not because this guy hypnotised them with his charm or something. For those that genuinely don't realise they are the prey, well, hi and welcome to the world. Take it as a learning experience and don't expect to meet nice guys looking for long fulfilling relationships in some trashy bar/club.

That's terrible, I feel for Jimmy and his family, Truly a nice guy of television.

I'm sorry, but Chinese (the modern culture, not the race) are horrible people. Flame me all you want. I know first generation Chinese who came over 30-40 years ago who are kind, decent, hardworking people, but the more recent immigrants, who were really brainwashed under communism are mostly self-centred assholes, who would honestly keep eating shark-fin soup if it meant some random person in the third world would be executed for every bowl, because it's a good way to show everyone how rich they are. The Chinese people I know who have been here for over 30 years hate the new generation of Chinese more than anyone else. They represent a perversion of the culture by Mao, who admitted hating Chinese culture and did his best to destroy it.
Obviously this does not apply to all individuals, but the culture as a whole is sick.


Ok, speaking as someone who has very recently been to china for an extendad stay, and i've met and had extensive experience with young and middle aged chinese;

How did you get the impression they were horrible people? Every single person i met in china was generous and selfless and went a long way out of their way to make sure i had a good time and to make sure i was completely taken care of. Their culture almost DEMANDS them to be respectful and polite to strangers. Self centred is a word which i could not apply to a single one of the several hundred chinese people that i've met.

Show off their wealth? Do you realise that the chinese people are extremely poor? The government may be fucking rich but the people certainly aren't. They work their fucking arse off in a shit job they get given and they get paid pennies, PENNIES, and they work fucking hard at it and fucking long hours because guess what they'd get if they didn't? Fuck all. I have never met a more humble and polite people, the chinese people seem to me like the british were 60 years ago (of which i am proud and sad we're not like that anymore).

I must remind you, with my limited knowledge, of the Cultural Revolution and other periods in chinese history where the people were so poor and desperate that they would eat more or less anything to survive. I was told that diverse foods were more common in the south (i was in beijing and xian) and that they are also very poor there.

I don't know what modern china is a representation of, but i suspect you know less than you claim to about modern china.

I do not promote the eating of endangered species, and i do not know the ins and outs of the shark fin stuff, but i don't need to for the point i am making, because i address solely your retarded opinion that modern chinese are "horrible people".

If anything, i would probably rate the chinese people as being the nicest i've met. Least proportion of assholes to nice guys; i didn't meet a single asshole in china. No one even rudely bumped into me or in front of me, literally not a single chinese person gave me cause to be offended or upset in any way in the entire time i was having dealings with them. The chinese are amazing, the government isn't, and i hope the chinese will soon notice that.

You're an ass and i think you're quoting some shite that you've heard on some government-funded war-mongering tv show.
