The Internets and It's Incredible Sensitivity

*Disclaimer* This entire post is about insensitive, vulgar, but mostly true internet babble that I get a kick out of. Feel free to skip this post if you like catching weiners with your mouth...

There's a soft place in my heart for people who talk bluntly. Never mind sugar-coating it, these people say what they mean and mean what they say. The fact that someone is honest though does not preclude them from being wrong as well. If people and programs were judged based on facts, not emotions our society would be much better off.

This applies to government just as much as it does to people.

I know I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff, but Neal Boortz wrote a terrific commencement speech that has not been used yet. By his speaking style you will see why he is not looked to for inspiration by any typical teacher/professor.

As long as we're being cynical and insensitive, let's take a look at a blog I found recently; notdirtywriter.net

I have no idea why I love this stuff so much, but I do. Despite the fact that there are posts which blatantly contradict themselves (i.e. What Being Certain Says About You, and The Nature of Opinions, and They are Always Wrong). Getting beyond a few of those though, you get terrific nuggets like:

• Things Blacks/Whites/Hispanics/Asians Need to Know
• Why People Need Cuteness
• 10 Substitutes for Religeon
• How the Masses Are Manipulated
• How and Why People Flock
• Why You Should Hate the Fearful
  
• 10 Signs That Your Society Has Too Much Money
  

There's plenty to disagree with, but that's not the point. Internet ass-hattery has never been so blatantly, and entertainingly, presented. Well, except maybe for Maddox and a few of his enlightned articles:

• There Is No 9/11 Conspiracy You Morons
• One Thing PC Users Can Do That Mac User Can Not
• Fashion Tips for Women From a Guy Who Knows Dick About Fashion
• Your iPhone Is a Piece of Shit and So Is Your Face
  

In case you haven't noticed my sense of humor is incredibly sophisticated.
