You cynic...


Here in Spain the problem we have with politics is nearly as big as the economical one. Every single day are news of some important politic (or even the royal family ¡) having problems with the justice. Sometimes seems that every single politic or banker is a thief. Meanwhile, nearly 30% of Spain is unemployed, and the European measures are drowning the economy still more.
Soooooo yeah, we know a bit about that kind of things.

You call him a cynic...I think of him as a realist.


I may not be Spanish, but I know enough to know that when the majority of your college age demographic is getting out of school and no one can find a job..serious problems are ahead. At least it's not as bad as Greece, right?


Yeeeeeep. Number 1.

Yeah, the sad part is that, no matter how bad are things here, Portugal and specially Greece are worse. A thing that our politics reminds us constantly; "don't protest: things can be worse still".

All of the Paizo folks get our own avatars. It's so we don't have 150 people disguising themselves as Erik Mona. :-)

I guess I'm an optimistically cynical realist.


I used to know a guy whose screen name was Optimisticly Cynical [sic].

I get that.

But you couldn't have had a different Abadar Avatar and let that one for Players. I have a PC that is perfect for. The other one has the Crossbow doesn't work for him.

Well, we in the US have a congress that's nihilistic enough to make Kefka orgasm, our political left is milquetoast and secretly corrupt while our right are theocratic; mean-spirited and openly corrupt, and we're anchored down by an entire region of the country that's one big albatross of regressiveness-'n-racism around our necks as we march into the 21st century.

Granted, your situation seems worse (Thirty percent unemployment, jesus), but the US is still doing piss-poor. And don't forget, we're all in this sodomy factory together folks! It's too bad that we can't strike back against corporate America, the marketers who convince us to put up with them and the Ayn-Rand-corpse-tonguing economists who let them sleep at night* in any significant way except for silently praying they get cancer. Or possibly Bleeding Nightmare Pox.

Leave me out of this! I'll happily obliterate worlds left and right and hurl worthless sacks of living meat into obstinate scrounging poverty at my feet like the god I am, but don't compare me to politicians. It's insulting. I have limits to my depravity!

There's a joke:

A cynic thinks things can't get any worse, an optimist is sure they can.


An optimist believes we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true.

I thought it was: An optimist thinks we live in the best possible world. A cynic is sure we do.

At least your Congresscritter is honest about it. ;)

I was going to say "he got elected" but I see that is already covered.
