Not News

I am getting tired of the non-news that is filling up the world.

Starbucks can put whatever they want on the cups.  Get over it.  If it really does offend you take your $ elsewhere.

If a store starts to decorate for a season too soon for you, take your $ elsewhere.

People say things that offend you?  If it does not threaten your life and livelihood, take your indignation into private and just get over it.

If you do not like some one's opinion, use polite discourse to change their mind.  And if nothing in the world can make you change your own mind...... you are the problem, not the people you are hurling vitriol at.

Anonymity is the mask of a coward.  If you hurl insults and threats from shadows you are lower than a bully and the only thing you deserve is to fade from life and be alone in your anger.  If you want to join the human race and have your opinion heard, stand in the light and speak up.

Be pleasant to the police.  It does not always mean they will be pleasant to you, but the odds are much higher if you start with a smile than if your first response is anger. 

Don't want your children to be vaccinated?  No problem.  If they have horrible medical problems because of your decision, you get to pay the full cost.  If they die, you get charged with premeditated murder.

If you truly want to be free, and be able to do what you want, give others that very same freedom.

I guess somehow this post morphed from petty to serious issues.  Mostly what I am wanting to say is that there are more than enough truly serious issues in the world that need solving and for the truly trivial things that crop up, get over it or get counseling.

And most of all, please keep your indignation over the trivial from my news feed.
