Don't these little children realize that going out of your way to alienate the people whose support you need if you hope to succeed is self-defeating? Thanks you, Idnami, for once again showing that OC isn't a protest so much as it is a temper tantrum. |
I have spent the past two months being accused of laziness despite my hard work, incoherence despite attempts to elucidate and having no idea what I am talking about. I'm cool with that. People don't get it. I try to patiently explain and they still don't get it. Fair enough.
My friends and I have been called hippies, squatters, bums, spoiled brats and worse and that is also fine. I have a job, I shower often, I work hard to make the world just a teensy bit better and people still feel very proud of themselves for ignoring these facts and continuing to spout ridiculous contempt. No problem. I really don't take that personally, frustrating as it is.
However, a group of people who claim to respect hard work, skill and dedication have just suggested that we take someone else's hard work, skill and dedication and disrespect it, destroy it, anything but accept the gift in the spirit it was given. This disgusts me. This is disgusting.
If I suggested we melt down the Stanley Cup because I personally am sick of hockeymania you would all be feeling quite justified in using whatever choice language you wanted in telling me where to go. I have no problem with criticism. I have a big problem with stupidity and asinine refusal to look past the end of one's own nose.
Our world is in all kinds of trouble. Anyone with half a brain can see that. We condone human suffering daily for the sake of our own greed and this is WRONG. So go ahead and hate. Hate and ignorance are what is killing us all. I think people who wear their hate and ignorance so proudly are probably beyond help.
I came to talk to you guys and some of you were civil and reasonable and I thank those of you who were. People who want to destroy a valuable piece of art work given freely to their city are not worth my time. Nazis did that kind of thing. You are truly messed up if you think it is ok to do so.
Now I really am done. If you would like to criticize my ideas further you know where to find me.
