Keeping The Peace

I really don't understand the disconnect:

  • Don't steal from me
  • Don't lay your hands on me or mine
  • Don't be uncivilized toward me at my home (remember, you are a guest)
  • Don't FUCK with me

    and you won't get hurt.

    Is it really that hard to process this social etiquette? Have you really lived under the illusion that you are shielded by society for so long that you believe you are invincible?

    If that's the case, you're pretty fucking stupid... and an asshole.

    Pursuing Passions on the Web

    I started a website about spirituality. It was focused on eastern thought and pursuing peace within one's self. I posted a link to another website which offered classes on the matter. I was promptly charged $1500 for my trouble of promoting THEM. I shut it down immediately.

    I started a website for the church I attend and offered to attempt to arrange rides for those who wished to attend but had not way. I was promptly told I couldn't offer rides. Outreach was the whole point of the website. So, I shut it down.

    In fact, the content I have generated the most with the least complaint is criticism of the government. And I have awaited retribution for that act of civil defiance with a sense of inevitability and trepidation.

    I'm confused though. I try to put up positive websites and am shut down. I put up negative websites and am still doing so freely.

    Could this be a statement on the values of mankind in general?
