Bio
Once again it's time for a change, figured I'd use a real pic of me. Of course this one is much more pleasant, than how I look these days. Politics, Gay Rights and the Environment are still very much on my mind. I'm still fighting those evil Lawn Nazis', and I have all but given up on the intelligence of the average American, but will continue to express my opinions -- over and over and over. Until it makes you or me sick, whichever comes first! Hopefully someone will listen!

Why do I wast my time?

Rate: 4 Flag

Today I posted a few comments that I regret.  Did I really say that?

Well, lately I have done more reading than posting.  I have lost interest in this country for the most part.  Having decided that a large portion of the populace are either very, very stupid, or they are just plain evil!

When reading others' posts, I often look at the sidebar to see other posts, that do not show in my own sidebar.  I sometimes find writers, who really impress me.  ---- and I also find writers who either burn my short fuse, or just baffle me, for their stupidity!  Today was one of those days.

I came across a writer in Montana, who evidently thinks that besides being the antichrist, Obama and all his followers are Marxists.  I have to admit, I lean more towards Socialism, than I lean towards Capitalism.  However, a true Marxist, I am not!  I enjoy my right to private property, and I don't necessarily believe that government run everything, is always the correct approach.  

That aside , I read through this writers postings.  My fuse blew!  This jerk is just that a jerk!  His writing ability, however is good.  I just don't go along with his ideas.  He's retired military so, that's a good reason for ignoring his postings altogether.  I live among a bunch of retired military.  I call them the "Lawn Nazis".  Because they think everyone should take marching orders from them.  They tolerate no variance, from their outdated and boring deed restrictions.  Water restrictions?  So water after dark, when the water police aren't around.  You want to paint your house,what color?  Sorry you have to choose from our 1971 color chart!

Seems that's just the way ex-military are.  They live in the past. They are still figting wars, that ended years ago. They don't accept any other ideas, than their own.  I guess that has something to do with this guys mind set.  -------- Then perhaps, he's just a right wing nutcase from Montana.  He has that right, I just don't have to agree with it!  I don't really want to start any flaming wars.

I suppose as ex military I could take exception to your tirade but hey, I don't fit that mold at all while many others do and not just the ex military. I personally bother for one reason, I want to and that is enough for me. Let the people who are so ignorant of reality that they can look you in the eye and call someone a Marxist, a socialist, a communist, and a fascist, as though those terms were interchangeable, fool themselves and each other. Any person of reasonable cognitive ability and moderate public education knows the truth. Truthfully, I feel a lot of pity for them. I fear them too.
Bobbot, thanks! Sorry for lumping you all into one pile. It's just been my personal experience.
We all have those days, Kenny, when we wonder, "Why even try?"

But for the most part, it is good that people disagree and have vastly different opinions on matters as important as politics, religion, philosophy.

I truly try not to let the fact that I am ardent in a direction different from someone else, influence how I feel about what and how that other person says.

You noted that the one guys was a good writer. Fine! Focus on that...and then do what I do...

...just say, "Ah, fuck him!"

Then it all feels good.
The explanation for this kind of thinking is really simple. If you spent most of your life eating a diet of bacon and pork chops, it clogs up the arteries to your brain.
some days, you wonder why you ever started reading OS; but today is not bad
