I tend to agree with you. Lesson number one: Stay your ass off FaceBook.
Right-o. This was more a case of IQ than anything.
Nothing valuable or good comes from Facebook that isn’t outweighed by the bad and useless.
I read something where Facebook is being cited in a disproportionally large number of divorce and legal cases.
“Another thug gone. Pull up your pants and be respectful. Bye bye thug r.i.p.”
We need to take back the dialogue and staying silent isn’t going to get the job done. By all real accounts Trayvon was a thug. Members of that community may not like reading or hearing such comments, but lashing out at the person saying it isn’t going to fix their culture’s failures. Calling every person who speaks up and speaks out against those behaviors and attitudes that are failing a community isn’t a racist or a bigot.
Trayvon was a thug and the community let a good child slip through to the dark side. The longer we let the community wallow in denial of how they continue to fail their young people...the more we lose as a culture. Bad habits, bad culture should evolve to something better. Oddly, in America, it doesn’t. It doesn’t because we CAN’T talk about it, challenge it, and expose its’ failure to the light of day.
I lost a few friends over posting pro-Second Amendment pictures, etc on FB earlier this year, but I didn’t care. People need to realize that regular folks that they know believe these things and that we don’t cater to the politically correct.
Call me old fashioned, but I don't Twitter, Text, smoke dope, or do FaceBook.
