    right...basically i was talking to my dad before about this and he thought that she was right to apologise.

    now to me, to apologise for your art or to retract a previous statement is just stupendously...wrong

    his argument: you should apologise for offending anyone

    the way i view it: why are they offended? any statement i make is opinion. that. is. all. why are people so shallow that they can get upset by the opinion of another?

    my dad then said that i should try not to make people have bad feelings toward me...now to be honest, i don't give a **** what anyone thinks of me...least of all someone i'll never meet

    if the guardian commisioned me to do a cover and i wrote the same that she did, i would not apologise. i can't care if cilla black would be offended or not...the very concept of this seems alien to me - how can you care about someone you don't know? (this aligns with how i don't understand people who mourn and get emotional over things which cause vast amounts of human deaths. admittedly if you knew one of the victims then you could mourn and be affected by it but how can i mourn for 5,000 people i never knew?

    gah...this made more sense before i typed it

    It's called empathy. Some people have a lot, some people have little. Others hang somewhere in the middle.

    Having a little or a lot doesn't make one unusual. It's just one of their traits.

    That said, I can't remember whether it's being overly or under empathetic that's a symptom of being a psychopath. :worried:

    this is my point - stewy's comment elicits no emotion in me whatsoever - i can tell that it's a rather jaded and feeble attempt at mockery but i feel nothing for it

    ah well

    Yeah I have to agree with you as well penski, actually my attitude got me ina lot of trouble in the kiddie school, as I refused to apologize for telling someone I hated them. :p


    I have a thing for knives too.. And swords.. ANd other weapons of destruction... Like nuclear warheads... I'm calm, I'm calm, I'm -


    Teehee'su !

    Oh, and feh on empathy. Actualyl feh on most of those mental blockades they give such righteous protection of. :p
