I like this one. This is where you get called a _____— apologist.

This mentality really shows whenever you bring up flaws in one party's actions, like "The kid shouldn't have been putting ice cream down people's pants in the first place." Then some people will jump up and say, "Oh, so you're saying he deserved to get beaten up? You're saying the bullies were saints? You're saying they did the world a favor? THE KID IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND YOU ARE CONDONING THIS?" I mean, come on. If one side is shown to be more wrong than you thought, it doesn't automatically make the other side less wrong. You don't have to subtract the wrongness from the other column, it's not a @!$%#ing math problem.

. . .and this one. LOL!!

A weird story about a child setting fire to his teacher? "How long are we going to let these crazy out of control kids continue to maim our nation's teachers until we finally do something?" A psychotic woman cuts off her husband's penis? "It's just shocking to me how women continue to get away with this, no man is safe anymore, and won't be until we fight back." A fruit vendor attacks a woman after she refuses to buy an avocado from him? "Women just aren't safe anymore! Don't trust anyone."

Some people manage to relate every news story, every discussion, every YouTube cat video, back to their pet cause. You probably won't have to look through too many failed skateboarding stunt videos to find comments about how the injured skater will be taking his chances under Obamacare.

Pssh, it's not like this is anything new. Seems to me someone is just trying to criticize the average folks on the 'net. Well, I hope whoever wrote this loses all their freelance writing gigs and goes bankrupt! No doubt he lives in his mom's basement and only eats ramen noodles. Seriously, there should be a law against pointless stuff like this. It just goes to show you that they're trying to dumb down America so the Mexicans can take over!

Perception Dominates Reality

I usually try to add something when I comment. But all I'm left with is ditto.

This article was priceless.
