Nice, but less useful for those of us who aren't in our depressed-teenage-black wearing-"Life's shit"-period.
Jordan, you have an English boyfried (or, at least, a boyfriend who lives in England), right? Have you ever compared notes about how the two countries treat their gay population?

Y'know, even though B5 is on TV, there are like millions of real life examples of prejudice.

Ah, but who has the time to go out and see real life prejudice, when TV prejudice is so much easier and more entertaining.
And no, I am not one of those crazy black wearing goth people(and I think they're sick, and yes I do realize that is a prejudiced statement) But I used to beleive that life is shit, untill I met my special someone. And the fact remains that humanity has done nothing good ever since their creation, and I fail to see how you can deny that.

Mother Teresa. All the teachers who remain in their profession despite constant harrasment and low pay. Ghandi. All the non-corrupt police officers who put their lives on the line every day to make our lives safer. Abraham Lincoln. All the soldiers who fought in the two world wars for freedomn, knowing that they were very likely to die. Martin Luther King. The people who riked their lives going into space to expand the human frontier. Winston Churchill. Everyone who spends their lives helping mentally or physically disabled people. And lots, lots more.
While you may not be a goth (which I don't believe I actually mentioned), but between "Humans are all assholes" and "what me and my partner have is one in a million", I'm guessing you don't have a whole lot of real life experience from the bad side of 20.

Just to play devil's advocate here...while all of the people PsyLiam named are "good", aside from the people who risked their lives in the pursuit of knowledge in space, all the people he named spent their lives fixing up the fact that the rest of humanity has screwed up big time.
What "actual" good have we done? I think thats what infinity11 is trying to say in a disjointed fashion.
(And fixing up other people's messes isn't an answer - Crapping on your desk and cleaning it up, on the whole isn't very admirable)

how about the painters, musicians, writers, poets, and other people who create art? I think that's pretty worthwhile.

Yup. But that's getting a bit too pylosophy class.
How are teachers fixing other peoples mistakes? How are people who look after mentally and physically handicapped people fixing other peoples mistakes?
