NOT feelin' the love today.
What burns me up is people you don't or barely know making insensitive comments on what you say in social media. Case in point:
On Memorial Day, I left what I thought was a beautiful tribute to all of our veterans past and present on Facebook. Almost every comment was nice and respectful... even had a couple of shares of the post.
And then comes the negative yahoo, who is a friend of a friend, that makes a long rant about the U.S. being an Imperial, war-mongering country that are baby killers! That I wouldn't understand what it's like to be poor and abused.
Well, I deleted the comment and reported them. THAT problem is solved.
But saying I don't understand what it's like to be poor and abused? Brother! I was raised in a poor area. The middle school I attended for three years was 95% black and I saw prejudice from the other side. When I got to high school, the so-called "rich kids" made fun of me for being poor. Through all of that, I maintained my sense of humor and found quite a few people liked and respected me for being a nice guy.
I still see abuse everywhere I go, but overall? I see a lot more good, friendly people here in the U.S. than all of the nay-sayers who seem to get all of the press.
Here on NN, I try to be respectful and nice to women in my comments. On my blog, I try to use humor as much as possible. Some people get my sense of humor, some people don't. When someone leaves me a nasty comment or message, I delete it and then block them. Easy-peezy.
I won't let negativity slow my roll... I'm still the nice guy.
Sometimes ya just gotta vent a little, ya know? O.K. Show's over. Back to what you were doing. That's all I've got to say...
For now.
Peace!
