What's the point of being nice?

[sunshine]

Altruism and cooperation are all very well, but what's to stop a few selfish individuals from taking advantage? Carole Jahme went to the zoo to find out...

Now it's my turn to quote some lyrics:



The fast fingers, the expert eyes
And the same old 'how'd you do'
Disgust is just his dumb disguise
He wants a word with you

His problems are the end
His mouth needs exercise
The last thing I need is another friend
I don't want to be nice

I don't want to be nice
I think it's clever to swear
Better seek some sound advice
Better look elsewhere

Your face is an obvious case
You shouldn't put it about
This is neither the time nor place
To sort these matters out

What you see is what you get
You only live twice
A friend in need is a friend in debt
I don't want to be nice

No we never met before
I'm very happy to say
Far from perfect strangers
I'd like to keep it that way

I'm not your psychoanalyst
I'd rather talk to mice
You're so easy to resist
I don't want to be nice

I don't want to be nice
I think it's clever to swear
Better seek some sound advice
Better look elsewhere

Your face is an obvious case
You shouldn't put it about
This is neither the time nor place
To sort these matters out

What you see is what you get
You only live twice
A friend in need is a friend in debt
I don't want to be nice



...JCC said it nicely.

Who is Carole Jahme???!!! oooh and it's lovely to see you are posting some interesting (hmmmm!) points for once sun!!! Good question although I can't help but be nice, it's just something within me (while like Andy I also quietly rage inside about how much I hate the world!!!!)...

I don't think I'm very quiet or insular about it, but whatever. I wouldn't say I hate the world so much as it infinitely frustrates me. I prefer to save my loathing for Lady Gaga, conservatives, and myself.
