We want to be able to express ourselves and an open forum is an open forum. Anyone should be able to say what they want when then want. Take it with a grain of salt, get out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat, suck it up, put on a pair of big boy pants or big girl panties, stay on the porch if you can’t run with the big dogs… I could cliché you to death but I really don’t want to think that hard about it all.
How able are we to say what we think is necessary to be said, how able are we to vent our frustrations, express our opinions, feelings, thoughts, ideas and emotions in the written forum.
We have because so litigious that, what a person thinks in written form isn’t really all that safe any longer. You are free to say it but it may not be protected any longer.
The machine of information that exists in the world today can blow something up so quickly into something it was not intended to be.
What about the substance of what is being said, as we become more scrutinized by what we say in public and even semi private forums the content is shrinking and the accountability is huge.
Quip mentality … how many characters do you get to sum up your thought a 120?
Oh ok that is plenty to make a valid point
Well in some cases it is, other times it isn’t nearly enough space to say what needs to be said to ensure a clear understanding of the message being delivered.
Unfortunately no one seems to care any more. Lets all get fired up because Bocephus made a dumbass comment trying desperately to cling to that last few minutes of fame he has left in the public genre, yes I know that is so incredibly timely however it does make the point.
Because who the hell really cares what Bocephus thinks about anything really... the people interviewing him did not, he was there to appeal to a demographic, and the demographic he was meant to appeal to didn’t care what the hell came out of his mouth because they agreed with his statement anyway, which was really that he doesn’t agree with the politics of the current president… Shocking
Language is an art form, it can be violent, caring, reassuring, confident, awe inspiring, fear inducing, beautiful, ugly, confusing, bitter, cruel, angry, happy, joyful, celebratory and so many more things
But WTF people if someone tries to make a point that is well thought out some one is going to interject some snarky quip that doesn’t mean a thing and we all bleat along as we disavow, discredit or otherwise ignore what was being said.
Everyday we lap it up from the 4th estate and the entertainment media who are both whores to greed and their own narcissistic endeavors and do not demand more from them.
This whole way of thinking has corrupted every institution of our society. Say what you need to say, but say it well. And if you disagree with what someone has to say how big a deal is it, really?
Oh and if you are a business and you make a product and your product is not a functional product what ever it is, you need to take the bad press to heart and make a better product or get out of that business don’t sue the reporter out of existence because you decided to cut corners in building a substandard what ever the heck and don’t want the bad publicity. Make a better product and people will sing the praises of what eve the heck you’ve made, make a bad one accept that song as well.
Certainly there are things that people say which are unacceptable but most of what we complain about isn’t worth the time it takes to reply to it and most likely it wasn’t said by someone whose opinion makes a difference in what anyone else listening to them already thinks
Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely
