I sit here with my drink (number two, but by any normal drinker's standards it's probably number four). As I scroll through Facebook I see a lot of keyboard warriors. I see a lot of people willing to pass blame on a situation, change their profile picture, or post a long message about gun control, gay rights, terrorism, the election, and anything else. You all hide behind the keyboard, because it's safe there. You stand with the 1st amendment as your shield to spread your toxin among the masses. The advent of social media and 24 hour news cycles has turned an informed public into a group of lemmings willing to fall off of the cliff of their beliefs because the internet has shown them the "truth".
This is not a slight against those who choose to make their voice heard through social media. I implore that before you flex your fingers across the keyboard, think before you write, is your opinion yours? or that of a social media hoard sucking your brain out and making you join the cause. And if it is your opinion, do you have to post in a destructive, mean spirited, negative manner? Can you not give your opinion and not have a mental battle of wits with the fool on the other end of the internet?
I sit here and I watch this and I wonder why I no longer enjoy social media..... That and the ridiculous amount of cat pictures, get some dogs in there....
The grammar sucks, I've been drinking.
