As Kanye rant#989633 is analyzed and worked over by the media, I like to turn the focus inward and look at us the viewing public and ask that title question.Opinions are a dime a dozen but today we end up seeing many more opinions then ever.
We all have various social pages and whatnot. We have "friends" there for whatever reason with some people being closer to you then others.Today's media has given instantaneous uncensored license to a lot of people that really don't need to be heard from. What I find even more interesting is that through these emotional knee-jerk reactions/comments/twits/whatever you really get to see the true identity of many people. You can be creative with angles and lighting, had some Photoshop to make a nice profile pic, but that online outburst of profanity because of your "loyalty" to Beyonce just made you look a tad ghetto and a lil crazy.
I don't know.I think all this online accessibility is showing me more of people then I really care to see.I can deal with TMI from my usual suspects.But some folk need to back away from the pc.

I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.
your random short blogs be better than some long ones I waste time reading LOL
The reaction to Kanye's outburst may not have been neccessary but surely understood. He was completely out of line by "speaking his mind" because there is a time a place for everything. In this media takeover we live in you as well as I know that people were going to jump on twitter, fb, blog, etc and make a comment about it. Thats what they are there for. Even you in this blog said what you have to say. So those people have every right to express their frustration however way they want to.
@Goddess
I try :)
@ Assertive
Um that was semi compliment......right?
@Chymere
Yes of course we all have the right. And I wouldn't attempt to take it away from anyone. But I think my thought/question isn't about do you have the right to do say. But rather, in exercising that right are you making the best representation of yourself.
Anyone can say whatever they want. I'm no "comment cop" but in my opinion I do think their is something to be said about how people react to things. Do they fly off the deep end making statements with little factual support, do you play devils advocate and try to see the flip side of things.
Just observations....our previous President had 8 yrs of stupid comments so it's part of life.lol
