Why do some people think...

[MJ5150]

...How does the fact that somebody else has it worse make my situation any better?

It isn't meant to make you feel better, just less bad.

More along the lines of comforting you since many people in a bad situation start to feel like they are the only one or are being singled out. Having someone remind you that there are others going through difficult times can alleviate the feeling of being singled out, and can provide a person comfort knowing that other folks are out there struggling just like you are.

I'm not saying it works for everyone, or that you should grasp my idea whole heartedly. Just saying that this is one of the ways people try to comfort others.

I don't agree with the philosophy. Just because other people may be having a problem that is worse than my own, it doesn't change the fact that I have a problem.

According to some it should be united with "shaving down south" thread. I fear...

How was Japan? Any pics? You perve you.

Got pics. Mostly rated G stuff though. Still interesting though. I'll start a thread when I sort through them all. /hijack.

I think that saying that people that have to leave their houses by boat have it worse than you do is incredibly insensitive to those who live in Venice and may very well scar them for life.

No hijack at all -- I'll keep an eye out for your pic thread, as I've got some of my own. Mostly Tokyo Disney (it doesn't get any more G-rated than that!).

Sorry all you Asian-babe lusting wolves -- I'm just enough of a perv to have gone around Japan taking upskirt shots of young Japanese girls...

On the other hand, Harajuku was quite interesting, I must say!

Harajuku and Shibuya too for that matter. My wife had to snap my head back a couple of times...

And, have you been to Akihabara lately? It's the new cosplay capital of Japan!
