Ripping

Age old question.

Why the hell do people feel and then indulge in the need to rip on others?

Simple answer, because they feel themselves inadequate and tear other people down to feel better about themselves, or they want the attention. Or both.

But what really gets me is those sneaky little bastards that couch it all in the terms of teasing or jokes, when they add that stupid little, lol to their comments. And yes, I have actually heard textards use that instead of just laughing and leaving it. Or the even more annoying, lololololol. Yeah, are you pausing between your laughs so that laugh, pause, laugh, pause laugh? At last lmao makes more sense in that situation.

But just because you've added that f**king lol doesn't make your comments all right. Recent case that burned me, was people commenting on my husband singing. One chick hadn't seen my husband in twenty years and she was complaining about his singing voice. Well, he only started singing about sixteen years ago when he joined my father's band. And then, my father and hubby's brother join in the ripping. WTF!? Not like they're much better than he is. Yeah dad, where is your cd? Ooh, still in post-production? Sure. When was it supposed to be released? Last summer, winter, spring, this summer? Sheesh. Haven't seen hide nor air of it yet.

And you know what, the post hubby made wasn't even a video of him singing. He simply quoted some lyrics that he felt were apropos for the situation. And Bitchy McBitcherson decided to open her trap. At least he was gracious and was saving the ripping on her for a private phone call. Except he couldn't find her number. People are just such freaking jerks. Another reason I hate fb. Because between me and the blog, it's the family and the friends that are the worst.
