On February 10th of this year, I wrote a blog entitled, "'The difference between high school in 1970 and 2015' is common sense, research, and evolution...," which can be read here - http://thekind-heartedsmartaleck.blogspot.com/2015/02/the-difference-between-high-school-in.html?showComment=1452562538036#c178470387604326188. The blog had to deal with a viral post I read on a friend of mine's Facebook page, which tried to prove the the conservative talking point that things were much better back in the day, without political correctness, without the "coddling" of our children, without as many rules and guidelines, etc. Here's one example of what I'm talking about with regard to the post:
"Scenario 1: Jack goes quail hunting before school and then pulls into the school parking lot with his shotgun in his truck's gun rack.
1970 - Vice Principal comes over, looks at Jack's shotgun, goes to his car and gets his shotgun to show Jack...
2015 - School goes into lock down, FBI called, Jack hauled off to jail and never sees his truck or gun again. Counselors called in for traumatized students and teachers."
Yes, it only gets better from there...
So, just recently, I received a comment on that blog, which read, "sad....the 'lovely remarks' lacked both intelligence and humor, I am glad I skipped to the end."
For the record, when I uttered those two words, "lovely remarks," it was at the beginning of the post and in reference to sarcastic commentary of mine throughout the entire duration of the blog. So, in other words, while this responder attempted to be insulting with his/her comment, he/she proved they didn't read the blog, including the "lovely remarks" he/she mentioned specifically, for how could one read all of these sarcastic remarks (from beginning to end) while also skipping past them all? I know, that's a mystery to me as well. With that kind of mindset, expect this responder to utter the following lines in the future (if he/she hasn't already):
- "War & Peace sucked! I read the first paragraph and the last paragraph and was like, 'Whatever!'"
- "Songs 2 through 13 on that album were horrible! Know how I know? That 10-second prelude to song #2!"
- "Baby, do you ever wish we could just skip to the end of this relationship because everything happening before then is so boring? Just wondering... Wait, where are you going? Honey?!?"
Nice try...
