Like Winning A Gold Medal In the Special Olympics

So I just wrote a whole post about people who seem to have time in their day to argue endlessly over points of philosophy and politics on the internet. It was a little judgemental, and when I went to post it, something miraculous happened - the internet and its magic - and the post disappeared.
When that post vanished, so did my irritation, somewhat. I canceled my MySpace account a few months back because I was sick of people who listed "Acitivism" under their hobbies, because I don’t consider "Activism" to be sending out endless MySpace bulletins about how Hillary is 200% MORE PRO-GAY THAN OBAMA AND HERE’S THE PROOF!
To repeat something I read somewhere (forgive me, I don’t recall where) - arguing on the internet is a bit like jerking off to your own photo. So I’ll just say this: if you really want to be an "Activist," if you really care about the world and want to make it a better place, let me tell you about this homeless shelter I know about where you can volunteer every other Saturday.

Right on. I keep threatening to cancel my MySpace account, considering I never use it. People’s lack of etiquette with regards to bulletin posting is absolutely irksome to me, as well.
