If you're stupid

Then what the hell are you doing reading my blog? I don't like stupid people. I'm actually allergic to stupid people - they make me break out in a rage.

I seriously should not read the comments section on news sites. Truly. It's a gathering of the lowest common denominator, using twisted logic and misappropriated quotes to justify their stupidity, bigotry and sheer flaming hatred.

I love the Internet. I truly do. But unfortunately, it's also becoming the intellectual equivalent of a zombie pit. A zombie pit that has a small island in the middle with a couple of living people. They try their best to fend off the rotting hands reaching for them, but for all their efforts and attempts to survive, they eventually get pulled in the heaving, seething mass of decaying flesh.

There is no real point in arguing on the Internet. Sure, it has some temporary satisfaction, like trying to eat a 1 metre diameter carnivore pizza. The first few slices are deeply gratifying, hitting the sweet spot.

But then you have another slice. And another. Those don't have the same enjoyable feeling as the first ones did. In fact, you kind of want to stop, but you can't, because you've come this far, you may as well carry on.

Now you're 3/4 done with the pizza. You're feeling bloated, uncomfortable, and you have the meat sweats. But you're going to finish this damn thing if it kills you. So you power through, and finish the pizza. But you don't feel good. You feel crap, and you probably waddle to the bathroom to throw up. For the next few days, you continue feeling crap. And that's what arguing on the internet is like.

So don't argue. Ignore the trolls. When the zombie apocalypse happens, stupid people will be amongst the first to go. *sigh*. If only.
