Anti Social media? You're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?

Admittedly, I have a very low tolerance for bullshit.  Your kid running around outside my hotel room at 7 am screaming and yelling will probably start my day off the wrong way.  Maybe it's because I'm getting older and have always viewed the world in a unique way.  I don't see those things that divide us, because frankly, I don't give a shit.  I see things in all their complexity and I prefer to look for the positive in all things and people.  I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt until your kid is still carrying on at 0830.  Then I'm going to get dressed, go down to the hotel staff and complain that enough is enough.  However, maybe it's just that after the ridiculousness of the last election, and my bullshit limit has completely been exhausted.  I tried to get people to see each other's views.  It didn't matter if they were voting for either major party candidate.  I saw the appeal of each and I saw the even stronger lack of merit of either.  Lack of merit didn't bother most.  Somehow, as long as there was one thing that appealed to them they simply ignored the lack of.  Why?  Well, I have never deleted anyone for political reasons.  But, what I've started to realize is that since many no longer review the merits of anyone or anything, they simply latch on to the most drama they can find.  It's infuriating really.

What do I mean by latching on to drama?  It's really pretty simple.  You share bullshit.  You don't even care it's bullshit.  I saw Kid Rock dead posts on Facebook several times today.  Hoax, hoax, damn he was young, was it drugs, hoax....The comments read as a count of morons in this country.  Please double check. It's not that hard.  It's not hard at all.  Some would point out it was a hoax.  Some would ignore it, if they knew it was a hoax.  Some would just share without double checking....obviously.  Some would select the tears button.  Really.  'Oh just f***king stop already.'  Yes, that's exactly what went through my mind. 'You've got to be kidding me.'   Nope, they're not.  They are lazy.  They are so lazy that they can't take 10 seconds to Google or Yahoo News to ensure they are not sharing bullshit.  Social media let's us all know who the dumbasses are who believe every little thing they hear or see.  And not just me or you.  No, every one of those political advisors know how f**king stupid they are too.

Sometimes these people share these awesome memes.  Like if you don't like button because it's about Jesus, you're going to hell.  Ummmm, Jesus wasn't blonde or blue eyed.  And I vaguely recall a section of the Bible that damns those that worship false idols.  Can't get anymore false than a made up picture of a dude that was from the Middle East being blonde to strawberry blonde haired, fair skinned and blue eyed.  Add some freckles and you have Howdy Doodie with long hair.  Yet, this lie has played like a broken record, or skipping CD for the younger crowd, for so long that it's taken on a very real perpetuation for centuries.  Ignorance at its best.  Even when they know it can't possibly be what Jesus actually looked like...what the hell, share it anyway.  Makes them feel good to think Jesus was actually white.  Let alone that somehow we all have to like and share or we are forsaking our beliefs.

But hey, let's not stop there.  It's America's birthday.  You know--the day we declared independence from the British Crown.  Ironically, the land founded on freedom of religion, the Rights of all to be equal and have inalienable rights that should be afforded to all human beings.  Yes, let's make that day about Jesus too.  It's all about your religion after all. Totally missed that freedom, freedom of religion AND inalienable rights shit, eh?

Then bitch about racism, how much you hate "liberals", "conservatives", or anyone that disagrees with you.  No, that's not YOUR America, and therefore, it's not American.  Guess what?  It is our America.  Good, bad, beautiful and the ugly.  We are racists, especially if we were born before 1980.  Our childhoods were full of hidden racist cues.  Bitch about how bad the economy is, but what are you going to do about it?  Nothing.  Bitch about how your jobs went overseas.  Again are you trying to find a way to create new jobs?  Bitch you pay too much in taxes.  We do, but we don't pay as much as the Europeans.  Bitch how much money we spend overseas.  But never bother to look up that it's less than 2-5% of our government's budget.  Bitch about how much we spend on the military (laughable really) while thanking every service member.  Bitch about how much college costs but cut the federal aid budget (thanks Obama).  Bitch about a weak USA and how we need to make America great again while not realizing your bitching is exactly why we aren't great anymore.  We can't be great with all you assholes complaining how un-great we are.  Duh. It's like common sense has completely left the damn building.  We have our own religious nut cases, yet some of you point fingers at the Middle East like they somehow have the lockdown on religious crazies.  Ummm, thanks for the meme telling me I'm going to an eternal hell because your Christian faith taught you so much tolerance and acceptance in your very next post.

By all means get pissed at me for pointing out your hypocrisy.  Don't give a shit.  I'm sick of the one liners and regardless of whether you stereotype liberals, conservatives (I mean how obtuse are you if you really believe you agree with the entire "conservative" or "liberal" agenda anyway),  you just sound like ignorant assholes.  Most of the people doing the most bitching about the "other" side have no idea what the "other" side thinks because God forbid that they invest some time listening to what the other side actually has to say.   They're so f**king worried they might make sense that they simply categorize them as wrong and jump on their high horse.  Dumbasses.

Oh, no, I'm under no delusions that this is all my opinion.  But unlike those of you thinking I should shut up, well, the rest of my readers are thinking I wish they would shut up too. We want America to stay great and we are concerned that some of you dumbasses have ceded that we aren't by simply buying into one liner bullshit.  We aren't under any delusions that racism doesn't exist.  We just don't think racist assholes should be given 15 minutes of fame, let alone the thousands of internet hours you idiots will give them.  We realize that the Islamic jihadists are a real threat, but we also are under no illusions that they are the only religious nuts.  Eric Rudolph, David Koresh, Jonestown....seriously some of the most insane religious logic is right here in the guise of Christianity.  Let alone some of the other iffy at best home grown crazies like Timothy McVey, the Unibomber  You remember them right?  How quickly some of us will point fingers while ignoring those things we all know can't possibly be as simple as one line, one finger or one person. But like me, a majority of us just want social media to be a smidgen of this and a smidgen of that. You want deep discussion?  I love deep discussion until you want to bitch about some racist while using reverse racism. Did it affect you?  No.  Is it going to?  Maybe but give it a rest.  Those of us that aren't racist don't want to hear it anymore and for good measure, you racists out there, we don't give a shit about your agenda either. I know the race war is coming, blah, blah, blah...Guess what?  There's one in the Middle East right now, and for the most part you can't tell which one is which.  Seriously. The Israelites are a race.  The Arabs are a race. They look silly fighting over race and so do you even if the color of the skin is easier for you to figure out who you think is your enemy.   We're all human. God's children.  You would no more choose one of your children over another but somehow you live in the delusion that our father, our God, would?  WTF....Not a question.  A statement.

So, next time you want to share some stupid shit on Facebook or any other social media, think.  Is this who I really am? Are you the judgemental asshat who thinks all non Christians burn in hell?  Do you really hate someone because they believe in global warming and you don't?  Did you really think the last 5 twitters from the President were a "good" idea or are you just refusing to admit he might run off at the mouth way more than a President should?  Are you really hating anyone who wants to save the environment?  Or protect their right to own guns?  I mean maybe you don't understand what they think, but do you really hate them?  How??  You don't even f**king know them.  If you hate someone you don't even know, well, as the comedian and a meme you've probably shared one too many times says, "you're a special kind of stupid, aren't you?"
