I kind of hope some people come around and I wish I understood them better.

 So you stuck your nose in the air and your fingers in your ears and then made a big show of getting up on your toes to tower above us. You told us that you're too mature for this shit... And then you pranced off on tiptoe with your nose in the air and your fingers in your ears, dancing around to convince yourself and others how much happier and more evolved you are now that you made us Get Ours by telling us off...with your mouth still running to whoever you ran into who would listen, about how you are so above this shit... Way too mature for it.


I muttered, "May you fall on your face from walking like that. May people then laugh at how you talked like that."


This will happen anyway... With or without anyone's curses... Unless interrupted.


I'm obviously no saint either... Never was. No more or less than you are or ever were... Evidenced by the fact that i wanted you to fall flat on your face for treating us like that, I make mistakes too. I have made disgusting ones. So I found my common sense and my conscience again ... Aka found out where I'd put my brain and my heart... and interrupted you. I said "Hey, you're gonna trip if you keep walking like that." 


You turned around and fired back, "What do you care?" 


I said to you, "What do you care that I care? You're the one that's too mature for this shit." 


Your anger mixed right then with this other feeling you couldn't place or name. Your confusion stopped you in your tracks, causing you to trip and fall and spill the coffee you picked up on your way to go chat with your friends about how you are way over this shit and too mature for it.


Guess who laughed together while cleaning up the mess.

If I had been able to communicate better to you about what bothered you about me and what was actually going on and what I actually was saying and more outwardly technical communication blunders, then you would never have felt the need to be too mature for that shit.

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!
