This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is true. My running theory, the shit man theory, is that if you take a famous person from the past they're most likely a shithead. For example;
Mahatma Gandhi was a nazi-loving racist who would gather young and underaged apprentices with whom he'd sleep naked to prove how virtuous he was by not raping them.
Mother Theresa didn't pay her workers, withheld medical attention on the grounds that if they took people to proper medical facilities they'd not use hers, re-used needles and knowingly spreading infectious diseases (like HIV), would purposefully make people suffer because suffering is godly.
I think there are two explanations for it:
It's probably both in most cases.
