'It's too hard to hold hands when your hands are fists'

Seriously, we're all in the same situation, can't we PLEASE just TRY to get along? At least until we can find a way out of here? Geez, it's not like it's going to kill you.

You seem to have missed a very basic lesson on human nature.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

What, that people like to fight or something? I've never brought into that idea. You'd be surprised what people can achieve if they just try.

[gottabetactile.livejournal.com]

Dude I totally agree! People should make love not war. It's way more fun for starters!

Unless you like the rough stuff but that's just another way of doing it. And it feels pretty good too.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Dude, that is completely and utterly not what I meant.

I see a lot of talk here about torture and getting revenge. Escaping will be difficult if the entire populace is after each others' throats. Perhaps a solution could be easily found if more people focused on a single goal together, yes?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I think. But apparently that's a little too hard for some people to get or something. Pity we can't have a mandatory 'get along with your enemies' day or something.

[Awww, you made Lugnut sulk. <3 ]

[hailmegatron.livejournal.com]

I ONLY WANT TO TORTURE ONE PERSON. AND HE DESERVES IT.

Speak for yourself. Some of us have a terminal allergy to Kumbayas.

Of course, some of us could use a tranquilizer, too, if these postings are any indication.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm not saying we all need to be hugging and singing about rainbows and kittens or anything, just that there seems to be a lot of people who're more interested in killing each other than considering that maybe if we all just TRIED to put aside our differences, we might get out of here faster.

I mean, it's hardly rocket science, right?

I recall some phrase about "herding cats". Let's just say some of us are dog people and some are cat people.

[mizuhomaiden.livejournal.com]

And that would make you which one?

I'm all for getting along, but you know that old saying, about how there's bad apples in every bunch? We've got some really rotten ones here who just want to hurt other people, you know. I don't think they'll be so keen on listening.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

The problem is that no one seems to be trying at all. Seems like it's easier to say no one changes and that they're bad people than to take the first step.

[screwthegods]

Do you really think it's that simple?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

I dunno if it's simple, but I think it's easier than everyone seems to want to think. Seems like everyone just says 'it's too hard to work together' without actually trying it first.

[bored-todeath.livejournal.com]

Hey. What's your name?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Wally West. Why did you wanna know?

[jei.livejournal.com]

Well, aren't you adorable.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty good-looking too, if you're interested. ;)

[anoooon, so anon]

[for-marian.livejournal.com]

The people here are largely disorganised idiots. Good luck with your crusade, but I won't be surprised when it gets you killed.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

That's a little harsh! I think you'd be surprised what people can achieve if they just try.

[anon]

[piggy-king.livejournal.com]

Not gonna happen. I've seen enough of the dark side of humanity to know that it'll never change.

But that makes it more interesting, right?

Re: [anon]

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah? Well I've seen my fair share of the 'dark side' too, and you know what? Sometimes the only reason it's so dark is 'cause no one's willing to take a little light there.

People seem to think it's easier to say 'it'll never change' than to actually try.

You know what? THANK YOU. It's so hard to find people who aren't completely trigger crazy these days. Glad to see some sanity still exists.

If you ever do get a mass escape attempt going, I'm in.

Re: Anonymous

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

I know! It's like everyone here is more interested in fighting the guy standing next to them than the evil-crazy doctor, and today's been even worse.

Glad to hear that at least one other person gets this. Wouldn't think it would be that hard a concept.

[toxicspiderman]

Maybe we should start a Boxing Club. Sometimes men people just need to let off some steam.

-- S.T.

P.S. Or badminton. Smack those little things until the feathers are everywhere. Is there a set in the shed?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

You think that would work? I don't think the nurses would mind us playing badminton if they have the sets and stuff. We can always ask.

[sheisthecause.livejournal.com]

Not everyone wants to fight. Sometimes we just don't have much of a choice.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

I get that, I really do. But I don't understand why we're all fighting each other instead of working together and fighting the bad guys.

[demon-beast.livejournal.com]

Survival and victory require combat.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Look, I'm not saying 'No Fighting Anyone, Ever', I'm saying can we stop fighting each other and try fighting the bad guys?

[rope-victim.livejournal.com]

I agree with you!

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It's nice that a couple of people do! Even if so many don't...

[unsigned]

[thecamellia.livejournal.com]

I agree, too. It's a lie that it's too difficult or impossible for people to work together in this situation while still being prepared to fight. There are always going to be hateful people, just like there are always going to be differences between people, but...

Well, everyone has to learn these lessons for themselves. You're not wrong, even if there seems to be a lot of disagreement.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I just wish that people were more willing to at least try to set aside their differences.

[akarusa.livejournal.com]

Maybe we can't get everyone to agree... but I think we can get enough.

(Seriously, if I can honestly miss the guy who killed me, what's everybody else's problem?)

[toadally4boobs.livejournal.com]

It would make things easier. But not enough people are the 'big picture' type, some focus on squabbles or events that have happened in their world, and others are simply disagreeable by nature.

Although I have yet to meet anyone I couldn't work with if I had to.

In that regard, have you spoken to anyone who would be interested in working on theories about Landel's itself? We could use a few more good heads.
