There is so much of the "but what about THIS" going around right now. I hate it.
People post about their pet cause and then inevitably someone else jumps on it with non-sequitur "how can you worry about that when XYZ is so much worse?"
How can you give money to fight Alzheimer's when there are children who won't even grow up because they don't have food? Etc, etc, etc. it's irritating.
How can you care about any of this when Kraft has announced they changed the name of Kraft Dinner to KD. What kind of bullshit is this? I'm gonna start a petition.
Why can't we be outraged at all of it? Why does being outraged at one aspect negate our outrage at the rest of the bullshit that is going on in the world?
Her point was you can. But things would be better if we all fostered understanding and compassion... and it fell upon deaf ears. People just saw their feelings being minimized, or needed to exert their anti-choice agenda.
1. Why is no one talking about this horrible thing? 2. Everyone talks about the horrible thing. 3. Why is everyone so outraged about this horrible thing when there is a worse horrible thing happening? 4. If you post anything about the first horrible thing, you are horrible yourself. 5. No one should care about anything.
etc.
I care about a lot of things. I reserve the right to post about the ones that personally enrage me the most.
Memes happen. I prefer when they're based on truth. I have my peeves. Apparently my entire friends list is a bunch of chronic wine drinkers, if the EEcards are any indication.
And there are the pet outrages. And the friend who insists on posting articles about abused animals with photos. (pun not intended)
People are whining over a lion being killed. People whine about criminals killed by police as a result of being involved in criminal acts/not cooperating with police. And some of those very same people think that babies being murdered, chopped up and their parts sold is okay.
The moral insanity of our culture is beyond my capacity to understand.

I'm not sure I even understand your post.

Thanks for providing an example of the barbarism of our culture today. The world needs to see this evil, up close and personal.
Thank you!
