Discussions on the Interwebs

Discussions about controversial subjects usually don't bug me.

Not in real life, at least.

But if I happen to be engaged in a discussion on the internet about gun control with someone, the rules for civil conversation suddenly vanish for no reason.

People seem to be under the impression that once you get behind a keyboard and a computer screen, you can be as big of a doodoo head as you want to be.

You can avoid answering questions, blurt outrageous statements with no source, and call people doodoo heads. And lots of other nasty things.

Question. If you were actually face to face with the person you're flaming on facebook, would you say half of the things you're barfing onto some poor soul's page? You would? Quite a wonder your nose is as straight as it is in the two hundred selfies you've got on your profile.

'Nuther question. Wouldn't it be more enjoyable for everyone if you only posted things you would actually say in real life? Wouldn't it make intellectual conversations, erm, actually productive? Calling each other doodoo heads whilst attempting figure out if Obama is a doodoo head or not doesn't accomplish anything at all.

Be nice.

Don't fling doodoo.

Fling chill pills. And hugs. But not facebook pokes. I will kill you. Doodoo head.
