4revgreen: So, first post. The rules say to introduce yourself, which I guess I will do.

My name is Reverend Vincent Green, I live in a small village in southern England, where I am the lone Reverend of a small church. I am in no way religious, in fact I'm am an Atheist, which yes, I acknowledge is rather strange. However my father was the Reverend of this church,and his father before him, and his father before him; you get the picture. My father passed away from cancer two years ago, and seeing as my brother has down syndrome and the town here is very set in their traditional ways and would never accept any of my sisters as Reverends, it fell on me. I don't mind the job. In all honesty it can sometimes be quite fun.

Oh, and there's an animal collective song named "For reverend green" which is a reason as to why I don't mind the job. Listen to it.

The people in this town like to trust me with their secrets, I know everything about everyone and sometimes it's fun to whisper tad bits into their ears and pit them against each other. Especially if there's some love triangle going on, or cheating. Most people in this place are typical consumers, and a few are very angry farmers. I've always thought of this as a pleasant hell hole, filled with filthy people who probably don't mean to be the way they are. No one is ever aware of how disgusting the are. And most humans are disgusting, whether it be by nature or nurture, I don't know. But the news is always filled with stabbings and exposed abusers and paedophiles nowadays. I don't want to leave this village, because I don't know how bad it will be in other places. I've made a little life for myself here. I live in a property attached to the back of the church, which has become home for me.

I'm 25 years old. I don't feel it. I feel older. I always have.

I'm single. Not sure if that's relevant. Back in secondary school I had a few girlfriends, a few boyfriends, and then decided that no one in this world could possibly live up to the expectations that I had. Basically, I didn't feel anyone would ever be worthy of me.

I guess you could call me a narcissist, but I found a quote that explains my reasoning behind being this way.

"I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am."
―SamuelJohnson

Seeing as this is a forum for those who are also Misanthropists, I don't see a need to explain that. You all seem very intelligent. I enjoy reading your posts when I have nothing else to do, which is a lot of the time. You seem like the kind of people I wouldn't mind conversing with.

I have 12 GCSEs and 4 A-Levels (Psychology, Biology, Philosophy & Ethics and English Language) but couldn't face any more education, too many people. School was hellish for me.

Pointless trivial information here, but I have 5 dogs (All rescues) and 8 cats, 2 rats and a snake. Animals make much better "Friends" than humans. They can't talk, and they're much, much more intelligent. I also play several instruments in my free time, though I have no way of recording any songs, but I am looking into possibly buying some studio equipment.

Anyway, thank you if you read through this. I've been lurking on this forum for months now and I thought it was time I made an account and posted.

Yours "sincerely", Vincent (Will not accept any shortened variations of my name. My name is Vincent, that's what my parents chose and I don't understand why I would change that)

Blueeyedmr: Ur right about animals making better friends than humans. Can't wait till humanity is extinct. And Animal Collective are mental, can't get enough of 'em.

4revgreen commented on: Should capital punishment be brought back for extreme crimes?

Completely against the death penalty as it's hypocritical but people should suffer for what they inflicted on other people, to some extent. The government should impose harsher sentences on rapists, for sure. And lesser sentences on drug charges. Wasn't there a case where a rapist got 3 months in jail? Sickening. Honestly don't care about what happens to people like that.

4revgreen commented on: Is it normal to hate celebrities as much as I do?

If by"Celebrities" you mean people who did absolutely nothing to gain the support and success they have, such as the "Kardashians" or whoever they are, then it's normal. They're not talented yet have so much money that they cannot possibly appreciate it at all.
