I don't understand why everybody seems so angry about everything all the time. I don't understand why this anger only appears to last 24-48 hours before the next offending incident takes place. I don't understand why people think I want to see what they had for breakfast, I don't understand people saying 'happy birthday' to their pets. I don't understand how people think they will change others religious or political views from a meme. I don't understand why people want to fight about...what they eat?

He sounds like that cantankerous old guy who used to be on 60 Minutes. Rooney was his name? Back me up, here.

Also- Bookyface is great! I can keep up with my mom and my sister, and the friends I have there I can kee up with way better, not to mention interact way more comfortably with, than I can IRL.

I suck at friends and family IRL. I'm terrible at it, actually. I don't know why, I'm just uncomfortable with most face to face interactions. But I can be a great electronic friend and I have a lot of great electronic friends, many of whom I met here and later found in Facebook, who I genuinely like way better, and care about more, than many friends I have IRL.

Some people could say it's "pathetic," or "a shame" or whatever. Fuck those people. I like that I have a means to have meaningful interaction with other humans all over the world in a way that works for me.

Now now, Proto, you and I both know that there's tons of people here who annoy you way worse than me.

And I'm always here for you, buddy. Whatever you need.

I'm getting me a new baitcasting rod and reel soon, too. I need better hardware, to rip those bass out of the heavy cover.

That may very-well be, but inside your Grecian Ideal physique there's a curmudgeonly prune just waiting for you to sit down at the keyboard!

I am thinking about setting up a second facebook page under a different name because free speech is not all that free and some people I see need some I.G.X style flamethrowing upon them.

I got accused of being an insensitive, homophobic, meathead stalwart of the patriarchy today, by an unattractive, overweight bisexual hippie girl, all because I made fun of a parent who went out of their way to turn her daughter's sandwich into the likeness of a Disney princess and posted it on Facebook for the other molly-coddling helicopter parents to coo over.

I've had worse accusations lobbed at me by better looking women.

LOL...yeah, I love it when it's implied I am a racist/bigot by those who don't have a fraction of 'friends of color' that I have who would never 'unfriend' me on bookface. Uppity fucking white liberal/progressive crackas are first and foremost, what's wrong with our world under the Stars and Stripes, today.

It's incredible that somebody who doesn't even know you could nail it so closely.
