Vandalism of other people's property

[wolfking]

My faith in humanity is wearing very thin.  I just don't understand people these days.  My work mate last week walked out to her car and noticed someone had backed into the back leaving a big scratch on the bumper, there was no note and no evidence of who did this.

This week she walked out and was horrified to noticed that some bastard has keyed her car all the way down the passenger side.  Why on earth do people fucking vandalize people's property, especially a low act like this.  Why are people such assholes.  Now she'll have to claim on her insurance or pay hundreds of dollars to get this fixed and for what?  This is a brand new car that she has only had 6 months, so you can imagine how devastated she is. 

In return she's extremely upset, depressed and much extremely cynical.  Why do people do this?  Fuck I hate people. Rant over.

I'm sorry for her and I understand her sadness, she must feel angry too.

Why do people do this? 

"And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually".  (Gen 6:5 KJV)

I hate certain people, dude. Vandals are just one of them. Fuck em, they'll have their day.

Do you have to quote the bible?

The bible reference doesn't really apply. I dont know why people fuck shit up. I used to a little bit when I was young and stupid, but I'd never do something that cost someone money.

Vandals will never truly be happy. Not until they become more virtuous and cease these acts. This is not because of any religious reason....it's just that assholeism doesn't usually get to the endgame of happiness. It's main reward is a fleeting sense of pleasure which is always attractive in the very short-term but tends to precede and disguise deprivation and depression. So I think these sort of people will get their just desserts....not through some convenient heavenly justice, but just through the nature of the brain and of human interaction.

Adults who vandalize stuff usually have a reason for it.  The reason might not be clear to you, but there's something that set them off.  This is the #2 reason not to put bumper stickers on your car, BTW.  Mind you, I'm not saying that the reason was valid, just that there was one.  Maybe he didn't like the way she parked.  Maybe she looked like a girl that dumped him back in high school.  Who knows?

Kids don't need any reason.  As we all know, they lack comprehension of consequences.  Destroying stuff if fun, and you never have to see the work and cost of repairing/cleaning/replacing, etc.  Stuff like deductibles doesn't matter to a 13 year old since adults have all the money in the world.
