They all hate you. Seriously. We're just too polite to show our dislike in public.

I always get mistaken for some old fart when talking to strangers. When the pretty girls talk to me I know the conversation is going nowhere as I'm 18 and they're always 21+. My favourite part is when they find out my age and the conversation has an abrupt end. It does wonders for my self esteem despite being forever alone.

I met my first girlfriend in a laundrette when we were 18. She was reading Jack Kerouac's "On The Road" and I was reading "Woman On The Edge Of Time" by Marge Piercy.

>I never talk to people on public transport though. I'm British.

This made me lol.

I have never met a man through book reading, but I did get hit on in a bookstore. I was looking at 'Of Grammatology,' and he said, 'oh, I'd start with a guide of some sort.' I am sure he meant to be nice, but it sounded patronising, and I said, 'I've read a number of his other works' in a really snooty voice.
He then asked me out to dinner, but I said no, because he was way too old for me. He raised an eyebrow and said, 'I have only to look at you to know that your current boyfriend is a plebeian, I'm offering you a chance to discuss real ideas with a real man.'

That has been a short guide on 'how not to pick up in a bookstore.'

Are you making some kind of... accusation? Are you typifying me, with all the powers and influence at your disposal, simply because of my dissenting opinion? State your accusation directly. Clearly what we have here is some vengeful individual, almost certainly a cog, a part, of the military-industrial complex who has siezed this blessed anonymity, this true liberty of 4chan to make a scurrilous attack upon me. Your blatantly false implications, fascist stereotyping and warmongering will do you no good here, or anywhere else for that matters. My intentions are, and always have been, true and clear. I am in talks with the Swedish police.

Whether or not that would be an identifiable facsimile of my appearance were a photograph (something of which I would surely be aware, unless unseen and villainous elements were conspiring to replicate my physiognomy in digital, in pixelated form for ill) of said appearance taken has no relevance to this discussion. Your attempt to steer this free and frank exchange of views with some meaningless, constructed and populist image betrays your own evil purpose. It is a typical tactic of people in power who do not wish that the truth should come to light. Expect to hear from my legal team soon.

You're a sellout, aren't you? I bet you have ghostwriters working on your book as we speak.

(P.S. - were your legal team in fact able to access my information and, as a result, contact me in regard to my personal attacks upon your appearance and the validity of your chosen 'career,' I would happily send them a reply detailing every aspect of your personage that I find repellent, up to and including your ability to raise one eyebrow and use the word 'plebeian' without a trace of irony. They may then use this information as they see fit or as you instruct them; either to sue me for libel, or, perhaps, work on self-improvement during your inevitable years of incarceration.)

And so, like so many other fascists collectively turning, ever turning at the top of their ivory pyramids you descend into the nadir, the unretractable depths of meaningless vitriol. I see I was wrong to engage you in debate (admitting a mistake, here, though the lack of such action has always been a key signifier for those of your disposition). The post-capitalist post-conspiracy persons, qua persons, elements of decay, have corrupted you beyond redemption. Data suggests the average Swedish jury does not believe me guilty of any crime.
