“We now have a whole culture based on the assumption that people know nothing and so anything can be said to them.”
- Stephen Vizinczey

Its a funny thing about this part of humanity where they choose to take sides so quickly without finding out the truth for themselves. But that requires work and for them to think the other person is better although most people think the worst of everyone with out ever seeing past it. Funny world we live in while it could be better as a whole everyone is happy if they are happy without a care for others.

woo long weekend yay.
