^ That's why I haven't been watching TV for about 3-4 years. :)

@Battryu and Serj_360 Yeah i guess that's the way to deal with it. Trying to stay nice, althought it's sometimes hard. And focus on the positives. I don't know if people from the US heard about "Böhmermann" and what he "did to" Erdogan, but im looking forward to see the judges decide. In my opnion, it will show how far we have come or , well we haven't come...

Somehow this is becoming more and more about politic, which wasn't intended but is fine, I guess.

Don't know that much about Trump, and maybe he is smart, but if that's true then he's an ignorant asshole.
I admit that i don't know anything about the other canditates, but even if they are worse, that doesn't make him someone who should be president. Didn't his father built up their wealth?
Maybe Rainecho is right and it needs a bang so people wake up again, but well. Do they really have to touch fire to know it's bad? Like. We have been there. 70 Years ago. How fast do people forget. Guess all we can do is raise our voice against them, and encourage others do to so aswell.

And yeah the IS is a problem , which is a whole different topic, for sure, but ignoring global warming isn't right. Why should we fight the IS when theres nothing to fight about?

First of all I have to thank YOU for answering!

Mh , i think you are right, maybe i went to extreme. But at moment, it sometimes feels like racism is accepted and every "average" person supports it. I'll guess I will follow my promise more strict. Be kind but more importantly honest. And ignore people that aren't worth it or my time.
It's kinda disgusting that "goodguy" has become an insult. We live in a world were you can discuss everything with almost everyone around the world. You could literally talk with an japanese businessman, a russian politician and an american farmer about tea flavors, if you want too. That's such a great achievement in helping finding, learn and educating yourself. Why ruin all that.
Let's hope that the kind and open-minded outlast this stupidity. After all they already did once, through pretty dark times.

Yeah, you're right, some of them are worth the effort, but its hard to face the " wall of stupitidy " around the rest. Guess some of them are "learn-resistant".

Hey there!

I stumbled upon the group and I'm positively suprised how many kind people found together, discussing with each other, and being nice to each other.

That's why i want to take the chance to ask about how you achieve that.

Having a borderline, because of parental violence and partly growing up in a protectory (i believe its called like that in english) and hospital. It's sometimes hard for me to stay kind, sometimes it almost "hurts". I'm done with the past, i'm not "suffering" too much from my state, live together with my girlfriend and have a (very) small group of friends.

The last time i went to hospital, i promised myself to never lie about anything again, i don't want to hide myself or suffer from others without resisting it. I would say im mostly kind but the thing is: 95% of the time i hate myself for being nice to strangers and smiling, i can't describe it myself, it just feels wrong. I often help people (almost can't say no) but only very rarely it feels "good". Don't get me wrong I don't want to help to feel good for myself, but i don't think it's supposed to feel... bad / awkward / depressing.

I'm 25 right now and well, im disappointed in humanity i guess. Europe is becoming a cesspool of racists. One of the US President Canditates is a , pardon me, rascist ape that should be looked at as a bad example and not as an idol. There are still people in the world who fight religous wars in 2016. There are even way too much people that still believe the global warming isn't real. How do you stay calm and kind to humans with that in mind? It just makes me angry. Sure not everyone is to blame for all that, but there are racists, rapists, drug dealers, murderer etc in the world.
Here in germany racism becomes a real issue again. And i can't understand how people, especially in germany , and with our past, be so FUCKING (pardon) stupid. Just typing about it makes me rage and wanting to punch a wall. They even think they are right with their "portect our race" and "germans are better people then non-germans".

Bearing that all in mind, how to you stay kind when talking to people in everyday life? Because i really want to, I know how great it feels to have supportive and kind people around you, and always looked up to them.Like: I know it's ridiculous stupid to be mean to strangers, as you don't know them to begin with, but it#s hard for me to do.

Any advise would be a lot to me.
