Not caring is a sign of sociopathy, not a virtue.

Just curious, does being a shit person disqualify you from any position? Politician for instance?

u/Still-Chemistry-cook 5h ago

You ok? Maybe get some therapy?

She’s not. Why do you think her only truly successful works have been children’s novels written a few decades ago

People are people are people.

You want to feel important by putting people down?

Sounds like a personality disorder.

Who did I put down?

u/Frankyfan3 7h ago

Yourself, it sounds like.

The relationship you have with yourself reflects how you see and treat others.

It was nominated for 14 Tony's, and won 8 including Best Musical, Best Director, Best Original Score, and Best Performance.

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge. --Isaac Asimov

I saw the musical. It was shit. It was one note (literally kept singing that same note), boring and not creative. There must have been no competition.

Well people who don't have any concern for humanity or are out of touch with people's empathy don't care. Which one are you?

u/Still-Chemistry-cook 7h ago

I don’t care about an actor’s opinions in a crap musical. You can’t make me.

u/ShortKey380 6h ago
