Caltrops - Tales of the Sword Coast





	[quote name="Quétinbec"][quote name="I need clarification"] I don't give a shit about all the rest of your justifications, rationalizations, self-delusions, and outright lies, but this one always burns me up. This image you have of yourself as some sort of Marlow exploring the darker sides of humanity is laughably ridiculous. [/quote] Why is it laughably ridiculous to think of myself that way? I'm close to a lot of whores and married men who fuck whores. That should be all it takes. I should be allowed to think of myself that way without having to murder someone. [quote name="I need clarification"] You cry over being fondled by your landlord. [/quote] I never cried over my landlord. I cried over not being able to find a job and again over eventually working a shit job. I never gave a fuck about him groping me. That was just some weird shit. [quote name="I need clarification"] You cry because the girl you met in summer camp can't come to the senior prom with you. You cry because your on-again off-again girlfriend won't let you come visit her. This is high school shit, not a high-stakes life. [/quote] Whatever you're babbling about has nothing to do with me. [quote name="I need clarification"] The people you keep trying to mock, the people with actual responsibilities and expectations of them? Those are the people with high-stakes lives. The reason you don't see that is because we're successful at it. [/quote] The reason I can't see it is because it doesn't exist. Aside from a death in your family, what's the worst thing that could realistically happen to you right now? If you lost your job, your wife could cover the mortgage; your wife can't cheat on you because she looks like fucking shit; you won't get divorced for at least another 10 years because your kid's too young. What are your high stakes? Your insured house burns down? Your kid gets a D on his maths? My career's on the line; my future wife's on the line; my health's on the line; my family's on the line. Fuck you, you gutless little shit. Don't puff yourself up like you've got a set of balls. [/quote]
