You know, I"m really sick of this. Every time someone tries to do something good online or leverage Facebook or other social networks for a decent and meaningful reason, it's not long before knuckle-dragging window-lickers come crawling out of the woodwork begging for attention. Let's get some things straight here, girls:
1) Someone's sexual orientation is not an insult. Trying to insult someone by calling them a "fag" or "gay" is a sure sign that you are dealing with an idiot and an asshole who should be barred from participating in public discourse, voting, and reproducing until they provide evidence of personal evolution.
2) OMG DON'T GET SO WORKED UP is the second-weakest shit on the internet, right behind calling people "fag" and "gay." There's a few MILLION BARRELS of raw crude in the f'n gulf of Mexico and our entire planet - including all of us! - is choking to death on our own poisons.
If that doesn't get you worked up, you're an idiot.
Some stupid little kids whose parents should have been spayed or neutered prior to adolescence are so deprived of attention and intellect that they feel like ANYTHING is their "fair game," and the selfish little jerks think that "free speech" means they've got a right to be obnoxious assholes and everyone else has a right to shut up.
If that doesn't get you worked up, you're an idiot.
This kind of stupid, posturing ignorance is PART OF THE PROBLEM, with the duuuude just chillax maaaan it's all coooooool attitude, and I for one am sick to death of playing nice-guy patty-cake with sorry-assed little punks who don't have the class, self-esteem, dignity, education, or self-respect to shut up and try learning something and doing something to make the world a better place, instead of being a stupid selfish little asshole who thinks the whole world needs to be about them.
3) This "first" meme is stupid and is the equivalent of painting a big target on your forehead that says "if only I was sterile and had any purpose on this planet I might rise to the level of douchebag."
4) This whole thing started over at Bayou Lee’s Boycott BP Facebook Group. There are important discussions there, and yes occasionally there is the owner of the group putting over something off-topic. You know what? He made the group. He busted his ass to make it happen and get it rolling, he worked hard to create it and define it, and he deserves to put over whatever he wants on it. If it turns into the "OMG BUY MY BOOK" shill group, I'll be the first to complain, but ultimately it's his group. If you don't like what's in it, create your own damn group and run it your way, but shut up with the incessant self-absorbed whining stupidity. The people who complain loudest about what Lee posts have done done nothing, ever, but sit on their miserable asses behind a keyboard playing Team Fortress and thinking they’re clever because they know 19 different ASCII art insult macros. Screw tem, they’re idiots, and they need to sit down and shut up.
