Cold or hot? I have one, what other qualifications do I need before I am allowed an opinion?

The power of love and the beauty of nature lend joy to existence. But when I'm alone with my own thoughts I turn to all consuming hatred. Hatred makes outrage easy in North American mainstream culture.

He hated ribbons for causes, so did I, and now they're extinct, stupid shallow ribbons. It all started with yellow ribbons if I remember. I wonder what Mr Carlin is doing now?

Yes we love to be outraged and oh God how we love to morn the loss of things
People standing out in the cold hands over the heart the band playing and the
somber looks. Morning hero's events anything to mourn.
And we love hero's can't get enough we will pin the hero badge on just about
anyone who will wear it.
Quite frankly I am becoming outraged at all of this including outrage I am also
outraged at all those who remain silent and refuse to fuel outrage because if we
don't have outrage contentment will take over and fools will want utopia that
would be awful and an outrage

The Left-wing minority have always been whingeing and whining and complaining about slightest little things - minor things that the majority of people don't bat an eyelid at or don't see as a problem - but it's only in the last ten years or so, since the advent of Facebook and Twitter (another two awful things that those bloody Yanks have given us), that these complaints have been known to the wider world. In the old days they just made their complaints to their pals at Islington dinner parties or at Liberal Democrat conferences, so not many people heard the complaints. But these days they take to Twitter and vent their grievances over men wearing shirts with pictures of women on or a woman saying nasty things about the Sweaties on Twitter. Now their grevances are out there in the public arena, so it gives the impression that people are complaining more about the slightest things and that there is a "culture of perpetual outrage" but there isn't.
