Something I have been thinking about the past little while. Does anyone really care anymore? My parents cared about me, but both of them have passed on now. The rest of my family cares a little, but not really. So what do you think? Is the world totally screwed in the regard? I know there are some who care, but it seems like I have yet to meet people who would really care enough to get involved in someones life. Perhaps I am just lonely. What do you think honestly?

Thanks for posting sharkeeper. If I didn't have to work tonight I would be drinking one beer after another believe me.

Beer will make you even more depressed.

It's hard for people to see much farther than the end of their nose. You may think they don't care, but they're just busy with life.

I've been thru some stuff lately that shoulda curled my hair. People I'd never met before were coming out of the woodwork to offer support with no notice whatsoever. People will be there for you if you need them.

Get up, get out, as the saying goes. Find someone to talk to about things you have in common.

people don't show that they care. today, in the news, you hear about parents stashing their children in the trunks of their cars, both parents mauling a 2 year old, a 7 year old punching his sister to death... it is in reaction to this that people have the impression that others don't care. it's sad. i think people need to realize it's important to invest in other people's lives, because before you know it, they can be gone or have made a terrible mistake.

Yeah I guess I really need to find people to talk to, but I really don't have many friends. At least not friends that I can talk to. I usually end up talking to people about their problems, but am to afraid to talk about my problems. And thanks for reminding me about alcohol. I think I will lay off it for a while and see if I feel any better.

It only sounds worse because the devil (media) is so much more efficient at getting the information to you.

You think POW's weren't "mistreated" in WWII?

I am not really reffering to the media. I don't watch news much. I was just thinking about people in general. People that you come into contact with by just living your life. Perhaps I just wish for better circumstances or a happier life.

I bet you will. Join a gym, take a class, whatever, just go find people that you already have one thing in common with. You'll find more things to share if you put some effort into it.

If you are already depressed about problems in your life, find a professional to talk to. You'd be surprised how much the load lightens when you talk about it.

You can tell everyone I'm a down disgrace,
Drag my name all over the place,
I don't care anymore,
You can tell everybody 'bout the state I'm in,
But you won't catch me crying cos I can't win
I don't care anymore, I don't care anymore.

I don't care what you say,
I don't play the same games you play.

Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends,
And it seems to me there's a means to an end,
They don't care anymore,
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time,
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind,
I don't care anymore, no I don't care anymore.

I don't care what you say,
We never played by the same rules anyway,
I won't be there anymore,
Get out of my way, let me by,
I got better things to do with my time.

I don't care anymore,
I don't care anymore,
I don't care anymore,
I don't care anymore.

Well I don't care now what you say,
Cos everyday,
I'm feeling fine with myself,
And I don't care now what you say, hey,
Hey I'll do alright by myself, cos I know.


Cos I remember all the times I tried so hard,
But you laughed in my face holding all the cards,
I don't care anymore,
Well I really ain't bothered what you think of me,
Cos all I want of you is just let me be, I don't care anymore,
Do you hear I don't care no more.

I don't care what you say,
I never did believe you much anyway,
I won't be there anymore,
So get out of my way, let me by,
I got better things to do with my time.

I don't care anymore,
Do you hear I don't care anymore,
I don't care no more,

what do you mean is the world screwed? if we all die, the world is still gonna be there, and other forms of life will take over. hell, if we nuke the planet a billion times, it will still be there, and other forms of live will take over. unless of course we alter its orbit and it crashes into the sun.
