'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.

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.

[bullygeneraleva.livejournal.com]

Few people like to fight, but most of them will still kill and die if told to the right way.

...You're not a follower of Eli, are you?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Uh, I don't think so? Who's Eli?

People will do a lot of things if they have to, but that doesn't mean that they enjoy it or that it works the same way here.

[givemeoblivion.livejournal.com]

Nevermind, then. It's not important.

Good luck with your peace talks.

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]

Thanks, I'll probably need it, sadly.

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?

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]

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.

[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?

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

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

[rocksthecourt]

From the looks of things, some people here could benefit from actual therapy sessions. If it were manageable, it might not be that bad an idea.

[oldest-man.livejournal.com]

That's a marvelous idea, in theory. Unfortunately, reality doesn't work that way under the best of circumstances, which these most emphatically aren't. It doesn't do any good to try putting aside your differences while your opposite number is trying to put a large, sharp object through your chest.

No, it's not. I believe rocket science must be extremely simple in comparison to trying to get a large, diverse group of people to cooperate. Though the possibility for explosion is similar...

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but they seem pretty intent on fighting each other despite everything trying to snack on us here. I dunno if actual therapy sessions would help much really.

[scarletspeedstr.livejournal.com]

You say that, but has anyone actually tried? You'd be surprised how easy it can be to resolve a situation without fighting.

[bullygeneraleva.livejournal.com]

Judging by the response you're getting it's not easy at all.

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

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.

[screwthegods]

Do you really think it's that simple?

[bored-todeath.livejournal.com]

Hey. What's your name?

[jei.livejournal.com]

Well, aren't you adorable.

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