This is some good advice

Unfortunately...I think this guy is right. Not to sound too George Carlin, but people give a fuck about far too many things. While I don't advocate chugging cheap vodka straight from the bottle it has been my experience that many things that people give a fuck about are things that they really have no business giving a fuck about. For example...many people give a fuck about how other people live their lives. Now...if the person under question is planning a mass murder or a coup it might be wise to give a fuck. However...oftentimes the concern is more of a vessel to ignore the things in their own lives that need attention by focusing on the lives of everyone around them. Oftentimes this focus isn't even necessarily on people in their lives but rather on people and things that really don't affect them.

A short list of things people spend too much time giving a fuck about...

1. Heterosexual people that give a fuck about gay marriage: Why? This is a very strange thing to care about unless you yourself are gay and wish to marry. Provide for me a reasonable explanation as to how two men or two women have an impact on your family and I might get on board. Leave god out of it...if it pisses him off they are going to hell anyway so...why do you give a fuck?
2. People that give a fuck about legalizing Medical Marijuana (or use of MJ period): Listen...having a toke of MJ at the end of a long day is not so different from another persons nightly gin and tonic. If you don't drink...great, but why do you give a fuck what someone else is doing. Countless research dollars and time have been spent trying to mimic the effect of MJ on pain receptors to no avail. Why do you give a fuck if someone who is sick and possibly dying takes a toke to provide some relief? Really...why?
3. People that give a fuck about who their legislators are fucking: This is the business of your legislator and his/her spouse. As long as your legislator is doing a good job and not skimming money off the top of the public coffers why do you give a fuck who they are getting naked with? Don't you have anything better to do?
4. People that give a fuck about other peoples religion or lack thereof: I repeat...if you are right and there is a god who is pissed then the person who doesn't believe as you do is going to hell anyway...so why do you give a fuck?

This is an extremely short list of the things that people care about that don't actually affect their lives. I could go on, but I'm out of time for blogging on this beautiful Sunday afternoon. Perhaps tomorrow I'll post on what people don't seem to give a fuck about but maybe should...
