    It's a play. I left out Shakespeare and Beckett too.

    @Zombie You did such a fine job of defending Sherlock Holmes you get an honorary powdered peruke wig. Deloused, of course.

    Being a site for readers, it would be a terrible oversight to not include at least a partial list of misanthropic books. Candide by Voltaire Animal Farm and 1984 by George Orwell Lord of the Flies by William Golding The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger The Stranger by Albert Camus No Exit by Jean-Paul Sartre Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Rabbit, Run by John Updike

    I agree.

    The wri ter of the article makes this inane observation. "The fact is that you have to interact with people on a daily basis if you want to be a member of modern society." Since a true misanthrope has no use for society, why would they 'have to' interact with it? Technology has made it possible to live and never interact with another human.

    There can be a lot said for the qualities of a decent misanthrope. For one, if you look around, you'll find it's difficult to argue they lack good taste.
  7. drpaladin
    From the Greek misanthrōpos, meaning hating human kind.

    You never quite know what you'll find or where it will end up.

    Complacency is pausing on the railroad tracks to make a long and involved phone call or continuing to walk on the rotten floor because it supported you fine yesterday.

    It's also a sense of self satisfaction marked by unawareness of real danger or deficiency.

    Although I've been in the UK many times, I've never had marmite. Since it's salty, I'd likely try it in porridge. After trying it on crackers first. Vegemite is a maybe too. I've never had it either.

    I won't argue with you there.

    As I said once in my youth when I mixed bourbon with grape soda, it might be good. *** BTW - I did drink two, but my taste buds were quite dull at the time. It did look rather pretty when it came back up.

    This word prompted me to pause for breakfast, porridge. Since I like my porridge savory, I put odd things in it. People typically make faces when they hear my additions. This led me to consider inporridgibility. Are there things I wouldn't put in porridge? Yes, there are. Tuna for one. What would you dear readers never put in your porridge?
  15. drpaladin
    Never used some form of incorrigible? I find this hard to believe. But I suppose I have an unfair advantage. I've been called incorrigible more than a few times.

    Apparently all the ethical whores must have ended up there. They sure aren't here.

    Chapter 29

    drpaladin commented on Demiurge's story chapter in Chapter 29

    A successful relationship requires compromise and moderation. Fortunately, we've already seen them together after this point,so we have a inkling they work something out. Kenji has bodyguards, so there's little doubt who subjected the damage to him. Who else would dare except his dear Papa?

    It's what they're paid to do, to be a necessary and indispensible whore in the justice system.

    Chapter 29

    drpaladin commented on Demiurge's story chapter in Chapter 29

    L- O-V-E . The deadly ans terrifying e-motion. It's stressing both River and Alec. They are like bookends, tilting against each other and delicately balancing each other out. What Kenji needs is an able second in command he can delegate some of his business business to so he can adopt a reasonable work/life balance. They need to have THE TALK and get these feelings out on the table so they can work this out.

    The most ironic thing is that particular page is promoting a lawyer.
  21. drpaladin
    Could be, although I prefer the ones with a wry sense of humor.

    My hanging around on-site could probably be defined as pathological.
  23. drpaladin
    From the Greek pathologikós.

    Well, you have to take into consideration those on the list are making a big production out of and shouting, "Look at me!" The others may well be giving, but more under the radar. In that case, the only ones who know for sure are the tax man and their accountants. The big production thing was started by John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie. It was good PR back then and still is today.

    This calls to mind a marvelous short story by Frederick Forsyth, A Careful Man. In it a wealthy English man finds out he has a terminal disease. He wants to leave everything to charity, but he knows his greedy and litigious relatives will drain the estate with legal fees and then there are the death duties. His solution is ingenious.
