You glossed over the part where most people don't know how to deal with problems that a psychologist is trained to handle. There's something to be said for the education.
After all, I have plenty of friends, and I'm in complete contact with my family, but they have no idea how to help me get through a bout of depression in anything approaching a concrete manner. Just being there isn't enough.
And I noticed further down where you market your experience with psychology. I'd just like to remind you, your personal evidence isn't any sort of justification for such sweeping statements.
I'd also like to remind you that your concept of "good people" seems a little skewed to me. I think you need to dwell a bit on how to remove so much of your personal bias from your opinions on general topics. You have no basis for positing that the world is shy of good people, because you only know a vanishingly small fraction of them.
It's a goddam pie in the sky concept. Jesus, you people must have massive cramps holding in your shit long enough to spray it all over every idea that comes around.
This clearly shows the incorrect attitude people are taking toward cell phone usage, and to my mind, goes a long way toward pointing the stupid-finger at those who oppose cell phone use
When cellphone use is permitted in the US is when I will limit myself to carriers prohibiting their use. There are too many blowhards now at the gate who are soooo impressed with themselves they want everyone to know their business; like any of us really care. No, anonymous jackass, we really don't care if you're listening to us. The phone isn't to impress you, no matter how important you feel you are. It is to communicate. You, as an apparent Luddite, may not enjoy communicating with your fellow humans, but many of us do. We certainly aren't doing it for anything to do with you, however. Again, you just aren't that important.
From a psychological perspective, this ties neatly into paranoia as well, since one of the symptoms of paranoia is an inappropriate feeling of personal importance.
Vote for NoScript+CookieSafe by default in Firefox No. I don't want my experience, nor the general web experience, to be dictated by paranoid Luddites who want the web to stay the same as it was in 1993.
He means that since it doesn't meet his needs, there's no way it could meet anyone else's needs either. He's the mark by which these things are measured. Didn't you read your Slashdot Orientation Manual?

How do you feel about inappropriate hyperbole when making a comparison?
You'd make a good high school girlfriend.
Your brush is too broad to take you seriously. Sorry.
Hey, the funny thing here is, that's the same people.
That's one of my favorite movies.
And I forgot String[] args in the main params. Oh well. Time for bed.
I dunno why I picked my random number the way I did. I'm tired, looking at it after I posted it I wonder what I was thinking.

I have to wonder, is the flamebait mod for damning Microsoft with faint praise, or not damning them enough?
Go plagiarize some spelling from a dictionary.
Only in trailerparkese
I also have to wonder - why do 8000 crybabies get to set the policy for the rest of us? There is no right to be free of annoyance.

Why are people so frightened of other people talking? Didn't your mothers teach you how to ignore things?
How does it feel to know you missed the point entirely and just ranted about basically unrelated and untrue items?
I suppose it's possible that you are the arbiter of usability, but I'm going to go ahead and suspect that's not the case at all.
It's the SDK beta. I'm not sure if that fact escaped your attention before, but now you know.
Stuff does go wrong in betas from time to time, even betas of SDKs.
They can heavily encourage updates, but forcing? No, they can't.
Hyperbole != reality.
The same way anyone would when confronted with an insane reaction - call the cops.
