People are always so profoundly intelligent, aren’t they? I mean, they are always coming up with extremely witty quips in which make me want to change my mind and submerge myself within their never-ending pool of wisdom.
What brings me to such conclusion, I hear you all ask? Well, friends, like the rest of my generation (and apparently every other generation at the moment!) I am a facebook mogul. That is to say, I enjoy spending, nay, wasting valuable and precious time on writing on people’s walls (ooh, how rebellious of me!) and posting pictures of nothing of any great consequence from my precious iPhone (yep, I’m one of people those cool kids). So while on facebook the other afternoon I happened to be meandering through a list of ‘groups’ on the site. If you are a facebook user, you’d understand that there is a group for just about every thing you can think of. Only on facebook would you expect to find a man offering to name his son Batman if 50,000 people joined. Only on facebook would you expect to find a fan club for yours truly. (Hehe) and Only on facebook would you expect to see clever and astute statements as group names such as;
“Against gay marriages? Well then don’t get one and shut the f*ck up“
Mmmhm. I see.
After pondering this group name for a few short moments, my sudden stance on gay marriage did a one eighty and suddenly I realised how wrong I was for having a vague opinion on the sanctity of marriage. How dare I have been so … what’s the word, oh right… hateful. I suddenly felt foolish with this obvious common-sense statement hitting me in the face hard like the carcass of Bambi. I realised oh, how I must apply this principle to the rest of my life because surely it would make a lot of clever sense and thank goodness facebook was there to help me out.
I’m against drowning small but extremely cute little puppy dogs, so I should not drown them and shut the f*ck up. And if someone else wants to do so, that’s alright.
Thanks facebook, you really stopped me from meddling in other people’s business.
I’m surprisingly against walking up to people that I don’t like and kneeing them in the general groin area, so I won’t do that and if I see someone else do it, I should mind my own business.
Whoa, good advice.
Also, I’m mostly against the bashing, pillaging, raping and murdering of innocent people but yet if my mates support it then I should probably just shut the f*ck up, right facebook?
Gee, thank goodness you served me with that piece of advice, cos I really could have landed myself in hotwater!
I’m so glad that this advice was right here on the internet at my very disposal or else I could have committed a major social faux pas and could have been extremely hateful toward rapists, murders, bashers, pillagers, vigilante’s, gays, animal torturers, abortionists and so on…
You can see how having an opinion can only ever get us in to trouble. Keeping my mouth shut for whatever I believe in is clearly a much better option, goodness knows what kind of a world we may live in when people start speaking out and telling people they don’t agree with something.
… Oh yeah, I was being sarcastic.
Having an opinion that opposes gay marriage isn’t hateful. And it irritates me when people say that it is. I hate it when people accuse such opinions as being homophobic because for the most part it isn’t true (if I was a 56 yr old truck driver named Bubba, it might well be but thankfully I am not.). Opposing gay marriage just means that my opinion on the sanctity of marriage is different. It is a bible-based belief. Gay marriage conflicts with my belief of what God’s vocation is for all of us. (To go forth and multiply and share in the communion that He has created thru the Holy Trinity – See Theology of The Body). With my beliefs I don’t wish to upset anyone, incite hatred, judge or take away any civil rights — it is just that marriage was intended from the start times as a God-given sacrament between man and woman in union with Him, overseen by Him. And to me it’s like a kick of dirt to the eyes of God to see that His Holy intention for man and woman is being changed to suit current society.
And that’s all I have to say about that.
P.S (Why is everyone’s blogs so dead??? Are they still recoiling in horror about Obama’s victory??? lol!)
