Chris and Remorse

Yeah, you're on to something interesting here. The pattern of long-winded explanations in his apologies is clear -- see also his excruciating descriptions of sex acts for Megan back in the day. One of the crucial components of a good self-delusion is the belief that everyone else thinks exactly like you do, or would if you just had the chance to explain things...

Good so far. I think a key component of his "remorse" is that, over and over again, he's really just sorry that he got caught. This is very similar to the behavior of small children, who often fail to understand the difference between the mechanistic action-and-reward system of apologizing and averting trouble, and genuinely regretting a past error. Yet another example of the fact that Chris's only real problem is that he sees the world through the eyes of a five-year-old. Pretty much all of his fucked-up misadventures can be traced back to that. Sygerrik 20:16, 3 November 2009 (CET)

Chris's Closed Mind

I like what you're putting together. I was actually starting to write up an article intended to be something like, "Chris and Hypocrisy," to discuss all the things Chris does and is okay with, but then turns around and condemns others for doing the same things. I hadn't gotten far, but I'd planned to touch on some of the same things you're discussing here. Alteceastlansing 06:53, 3 December 2009 (CET)

Chris and Hypocrisy is awesome, so I'm just gonna see if I can incorporate what I've written here into it. It's entirely possible however that taking that action would just make Chris and Hypocricy LESS awesome, so I might just delete this altogether.--Beat 01:58, 14 December 2009 (CET)
