I know my writing is not on par with a lot of bloggers out there, but that doesn't mean my emotion and drive isn't. So often I'm left just dumb founded at how my comments are down modded into nothingness. This becomes even more frustrating when it's a comment that requires people to take responsibility for their own actions.
And that's where it all comes to a head, the end of the line, where a comment is either decidedly up modded, ignored, or buried. If you make a call to action, where the moral majority doesn't take responsibility, and relies on others, then you can forget about being seen. That comment will be swept away, because taking responsibility means owning up, putting a brain behind that heart. Could it even possibly be taking the higher road, even if it means some people will get their feelings hurt?
The latest 'billboard image' supposedly at the Democratic Convention shows a poor sap trying to pay bills with multiple jobs and a CEO on the golf course making considerably more money. Now, I will agree this billboard gets it's point across, to hate those doing better than you. But you have to take responsibility and ask yourself a few questions.
1. Do you hope to be a well paid CEO or higher level worker someday? After all, if you are an upstanding citizen you apply yourself everyday and hope to achieve raises and promotions. It's called the American way and means growth.
2. Where do you draw the line at who to hate? It's easy to curse the CEO enjoying his life on the golf course making lots of money, who cares if he busted his ass to get there...right? But what about that individual in your company right now, who is breezing through the ranks and getting promoted, is it ok to hate them too?
Making brief comments pointing to the questions above will only get you buried. The massive social networks and monsters would rather chase minorities around with pitch forks and torches than own up to their own hopes and dreams. But I'm sure someone will come around and deliver them change in due time.

Popular social news networks finally show their true colors recently when a picture of 2 young Olympian girls were screen-capped kissing. Although completely harmless it's been pushed to the front page of both Reddit and Digg in a disgusting manner, where any conservative or sane minded person would be ashamed to look at it the way these social inept are.
It truly makes me realize that arguing in such forums is a waste of time and effort. How could you possibly hold an intelligent conversation using common sense with a group infatuated with internet memes. Furthermore, such an image of underage girls displayed in a perverted manner should be stricken from these news outlets. What does that say about the people making topics popular?
Yes, this is the defining moment where I realize my irritation with Redditors and Diggers is a waste. It's hitting a brick wall and truly shows their mental capacity.

Obama is campaigning on a platform of cards. It looks great on the outside but it's not structurally sound, therefore cannot hold up to real life. The man is capable of speaking with the charisma needed to be President of the United States, but unfortunately experience and the inability to stand firm will keep him from being Commander In Chief.
The American liberals need to ask themselves, do they really want to put someone in charge of the entire US who has only spent 2 years in the senate, all of which focused on becoming president. The lack of change he's provided in his short term as senator should be enough to make educated people run away. However, a simple message based on dreams and telling people what they want to hear has managed to keep him a front runner.
Those who support Obama, as yourselves, what does he stand for? He stands for the liberal agenda, which I don't personally support, but he doesn't even have strong feelings toward them either. Would anyone standing up for 'Hope' and 'Change' make it as far as he has without being black? Also, will history look back at the citizens of the US as being naive for electing a Muslim president. Put away your thoughts of propaganda, there are links, and there are ties.
If we keep voting for the lesser of 2 evils long enough, we will forget we are voting for evil.

Today on Reddit.com you would have been greeted by a last testament by an individual whom was about to receive capital punishment. Assuming we can trust the transcript it would appear that the man is innocent and that he was merely acting in self defense. It's bull shit and the boys and girls at Reddit.com thought it would be a great story to once again make the American Judicial system look incompetent and even racist.
Henry Martinez Porter was a heroin addict, paranoid schizophrenic, and had a psychopathic personality. However, the way that it's presented on Reddit makes him look like a saint whom was wrongly accused and mistreated due to his ethnicity. Sob, sob, another bleeding heart story. Hell, this man had been sentenced to a mental hospital since he was 17 years old because of hallucinations.
Not only did this man go through one criminal trial, but two, both of which he was found guilty and sentenced to death for his actions. But don't tell that to the mindless bloody hearts at social networks on the internet, they'd rather wallow in pity and believe another poor immigrant was mistreated.
The fecal agitator comment on Reddit.
Link to case study on Mr. Henry Martinez Porter.
How does crap like this make it to the front page? It makes it because too many youths and internet savvy individuals think it makes them look compassionate to degrade our great country. That's my theory anyway.
Thank you mortifera for the image.

Only on a website like Reddit.com could you find a bunch of people up in arms over a marine roughly escorting an Iraqi. These are insurgents that have proved themselves countless times by burning non-combatant Americans and then hanging their dead bodies from bridges in celebration. But lets all get pissed off because a marine, who was probably being shot at, was being a little rough with a Iraqi teenager(supposedly).
The picture in question from Reddit can be found on Pulitzer.org. Here

No doubt there will be an uproar about how I do not have feelings and no doubt I will be called some form of the word 'fuck'. How this makes sense to anyone is beyond me and Reddit.com and Digg.com is where bleeding heart liberals thrive. Maybe someone should tell them that the entire internet doesn't feel the way they do.
