Splat!!!

It will do to walk away. You generally don't have to flounce away with your nose in the air. That's telling the person who hurt or got you mad that they are generally inferior to you or that their behavior if they even did it was for an inferior and invalid reason. That they did it for a less intense or right-for-their-knowledge-level reason, or for a less complex or sentient reason... And that they are thus a less intense complex sentient valid legitimate person.

Some people will admire your supposed confidence in your own opinion, or the confidence you had that made you act like that at all... and say they envy you for it. And others will just say, "Well, I don't. If she keeps walking like that then I see a big SPLAT in her near future." Then they'll add, "And if she keeps TALKING like that?" And then they'll just look down and shake their heads.

Waltzing away on tiptoe to elevate yourself over us... With your fingers in your ears and your nose in the air... To prove the point to us that you're too mature to hear us about our own lives you are trying to control... more often than not with your mouth running too about how much better you are than all this... is advertising your own immaturity when it comes to this... and walking like that without your hands because they're over your ears and without your eyes because they're trained on the pedestal in the sky you're aspiring to... Is going to cause you to trip and fall on your face and tempt my own immaturity to cause me to say that if you cry then maybe that's part of the process of growing up.

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!
