Papa Roach song. I saw them Saturday. Good show.
Anyways, allow me a rant.
Why the hell are people so quick to judge? Honestly, I don't understand how a person's actions, no matter how upsetting they can be (save for a few things, like serial murder or rape), can identify them as a person.
Case in point, THIS POST. More specifically, the comments left on them. Something that really gets my goat is when people jump on a train of thought without no introspective look at themselves and say "Wait, do I do this?"
Long story short, Iruka Sensei did a bad thing by creating so many dummy accounts. She is paying her punishment and she accepts it. My frustration lies within the comments.
"But Raina and I cant figure out why people do so much to gain popularity on the internet."
"Why people need to do this baffles me. I guess out of a desire for popularity...but sheesh -- I don't post crap, and I'm genuinely well-liked on here...at least, I think I am."
Seriously people, are we that ignorant as to call someone out on this and show disdain towards them and overlook the fact that EVERYONE has more than likely done something to be popular or gain attention? It's human nature to want to be accepted. And sometimes you do things to make that accepting feeling come about. Getting a new hair cut, buying new clothes, going out of your way to impress a loved one, losing weight...etc. You're not gonna be the way you are 100% of the time. Some time within your life, you have done something to gain acceptance of your peers.
I challenge you to prove me wrong. I guarantee you it's pretty damn hard to find some that individualistic.
I have respect for most everyone that I come into contact with on a constant basis, but when it's the pot calling the kettle black, I really start to lose respect for those people. It's hypocritcal and quite honestly, it makes you seem like a ignorant dumbass.
I'm being very preachy here, but I am certainly guilty of both actions myself. I'm not perfect but I really hate it when people do this sort of thing. I'm not saying don't have your opinion, I'm just saying your opinion is biased and stupid.
I don't really mean to call people out on most things, but when I notice a trend of rather ignorant or stupid remarks, regardless of your supposed intent, I will bring it up. And I'm through being nice about it.
You think you're holier than thou and can preach your greatness to others, fine. Just don't come near me with it.
And yes I didn't shorten the post. I want you to read.
