This is such a 'duh' thing to do.
On a different blogging site, someone . . . I'll be nice and not say his username, or maybe I should, sent me a 1 sentence message (with bad typing and grammar skill; does no one capitalize the beginning of sentences anymore?) which was less than 10 words about how I needed to get a life because life in America was all I knew.
No . . . really, Sherlock? I live here. From what I understand there are quite a few other countries that are no better or worse than the US also.
I don't go out of my way to send random people I don't know messages and email telling them to get a life or otherwise, so I don't understand why over the years, people have done this. Normally I just brush it off because I really don't care about a stranger's opinion. I will never meet you. You will never meet me. What is the point in telling someone to get a life . . . especially over the internet? What does that prove?
If a person has to tell someone to get a life over the internet, then it seems to me that particular individual perhaps spends too much time on the net themselves and obviously, has no life to worry his little head over what I think about incidents.
Either that, or some people are too oblivious to the world around them. A lot more happens than what you think. You just never hear about it.
For instance, I thought I lived in a nice, quiet little town until I started working at a police station. I had no idea how much trouble my town had on nearly a daily basis.
It winds up making you numb. It makes you want to tell other people who are ignorant of these facts to just shut up and then shake some sense into them.
Oh, and by the way, I spent some time in Europe, but nevermind that. After all, the only life I know is America.
