<p>I don't know if the title really explains what I mean, but I think
something is really wrong with us as a society. I seriously think we've
been changed by too many "edgy" TV shows, radio shows, stand up comics,
etc, and we can't seperate that stuff from reality anymore.</p><p>Too
many people say stuff like, "yeah, so I would have just banged a hooker
than hit her in the face with a hammer; What? I'm just being
honest" </p><p>The problem is it is said by someone INCAPABLE of
hurting a mouse, even less so a human of any gender. Therefore the
"honest" part is invalid, because in a real situation, they'd never
really do that.<br />
</p><p>By the same token, I think actual "sincerity" is shunned by
society. god forbid you have a passion about something other people
don't agree with or show that you have some feeling or care about
something before you make sure it's "ok because everyone else cares
about it" before you mention it. you get the "FAG" or "LOSER" response,
or the John McLauchlan via Dana Carvey "WRONG!" its very "lord of the
flies" in a way. </p><p>Remember all those people who said,
"once you get out of high school, people stop acting that way" I
think we have a whole generaton, that have gotten so old now it's
embarassing, like mid-late 30's, who were such "high school heroes"
that they've perpetuated that juvenile mindset and engraned it into
mainstream society.</p><p> Anyway, I'm just putting it out there.
personally, if I'm the only one that sees this, and I need to be locked
up in a padded room for it, so be it. I just wonder if I really am
alone in the way I see the world.<br />

Sweet Queen Bee, I hope it comes quickly,
I hope your thoughts don't drift to me
I'll die in here, you now are free...
