Loners

I think the society today has forced me to be somewhat a loner, although I can be quite outgoing at times. I'm a scientific type, so I often think a lot by myself. I hate to sound arrogant, but I find a lot of people in the world hollow today, and so hateful and mean to each other. Could be I just see too many republicans. ... but look at all of the wars and building all kinds of stuff to kill each other off the face of the earth. Is that crazy or what. What is wrong with people!

I think the asshole count has gone up in the US over the years. I heard a DJ say that once, and it's stuck with me as a nice summary of how sometimes I feel. You'll never be alone on DU, there are some incredibly great people on DU and loving and kind, and they are intelligent.
