Random Thoughts
Okay, I don't know how or why I'm getting hits from the Popdex archives. That's just weird.
The next time someone says that Bush is acting like Hitler, or compares Operation Iraqi Freedom to the Nazi movement, I'm going to ask for a point by point comparison. They won't have an answer.
It's much more difficult to find a coloring book image of a crawdad than one would think.
I'm going to be a pirate! I'm taking over a blog......bwahahahaha!
Okay. So it's to temporarily help someone out. But STILL!
The Dixie Chicks? Puhleeeeeze! Listen. The "controversial firestorm" over Natalie Maines' blithering pretty much amounted to nothing after the first week. But, since the sales of their album haven't been what they wanted, they've resorted to "defending" themselves with Diane Sawyer and Entertainment Weekly. It's called PROMOTION. Nothing more. Nothing less. That's my 2\x{00A2} on the whole thing.
And, finally.....the day a troll or anyone else deters me from blogging is the day I hang up my Internet hat completely. Once again, I see that someone's taking a bit of a hiatus from blogging because someone said something in their comments and hurt them.
Look. Blogging is a personal thing. It's yours. You own it. If some oddball on the Internet can break you so easily, you probably shouldn't be online. Otherwise, turn off the comments and remove your e-mail from the site. Hold your head up and keep writing. And, don't ever let anyone know they got to you with their pissant comments or actions.
If you still can't deal with that, then you need to start keeping a private, handwritten journal. You probably shouldn't be online sharing your feelings and your life.
That's it. I think I'm all done.
No.....wait. I'm not. The idiot who e-mailed me his propaganda yesterday? Well, of course he resorted to "you war-mongers are all alike! And, I know what I wrote in my email. There were no typos!" Um.....sure. I went ahead and copied the opening paragraph with the typo highlighted and the definitions of "Loose" and "Lose" for him.
Okay. Now I'm done.
Posted by DaGoddess at April 25, 2003 04:06 PMWhat I love is when people let all the BLOGGY games (Blogshares, etc.) get to them. And when they threaten to stop BLOGGING because they don't like that sort of thing.
Please. If that sort of crap affects or governs your life that much, it's time to step away from the computer and interact with people outside the so-called BLOGGING COMMUNITY.
Sheesh.
Posted by: Jodi at April 25, 2003 04:12 PMRe: Dixie Chicks. If I see the clip of Natalie Maines crying big ol' crocodile tears ONE MORE TIME, I'm gonna hurl. I cannot STAND women who manipulate with waterworks. Makes me want to shoot the TV.

I just thought I'd stop by and say "love ya." *smooch*
(And NO, that's not hot girl-on-girl lovin'.)
I think. Heh.
Love,
Margi
I agree to some extent, but just because you are on the Internet is no reason to throw decency and sense out the window. I try not to do (say) things on line that I wouldn't do (say) in real life. But that's just me. A lot of people apparently do feel like the Internet is the last frontier and just behave like bitches and bastards for the same reason that dogs lick their balls: because they can.
As Jodi closed her post the other day:
That is all.

Posted by: Martie at April 25, 2003 10:49 PMoh yeah we warmongers are all alike. pah. show me another warmonger just like me and i'll eat a freakin bell pepper (fyi, bell peppers are the fruit of the antichrist, in my opinion). Hell, I'll eat TWO of the nasty things... raw.
i was walking by a peace protest in town a coupla months ago and they mistook me for one of them. must have something to do with the scarlet hair and body piercings. oh well.

Posted by: Dave at April 26, 2003 05:36 AMI hide myself in the corner and cry anytime someone sends me hate-mail. I also try to keep all my personal opinions off my blog.
I don't post monkey-pictures, either.

Posted by: hoopty at April 26, 2003 09:31 AMSo why haven't the Maines + Streisand wannabies morfed Operation Iraqi Freedom into Operation Iraqi Liberation for the acronym?
Or did they finally shut up after realizing that the war may have provided a greater good?
Although after all the retorts of "Liberal/Democratic Press/Media" they seemed to do a culpable job of showing and revealing the Sadam Cruelties that have been ended!
But BwaBwa will still continue her Bush-Bashing won't she? Do celebrities really think the general public respects their opinions? Or do they think were all just cattle?
