"I don't think..." said Alice. "Then you shouldn't talk" said the Hatter.

Yep, I'm going there this week.  Because for me yesterday was fun!  I say fun with the utmost sarcasm.  My team lost a big playoff game and immediately everyone had their own opinion about the game...and most of them were negative reactions towards my team.

I totally understand, it's all fun and games.  In fact it is a game!  But how often do we get online, throw stuff up on our Facebook and Twitter without really thinking about it first?  Especially about stuff way more serious than a football game?

Take two of the top issues in the world currently trending online: racism in America and the Muslim attack in France.  The out pouring of hate and misunderstanding online over these things is astounding.  People use events like these to excuse the fact that what they have to say is rude, generalized and most of the time not based in any truth.   And just because your say "you're not a racist but..." doesn't excuse everything you're about to say.

I'm not saying everyone should be censored or that no one should have a voice.  Absolutely not!  And I'm definitely not saying that there are not bad people in the world.  But not everyone is the same either.  What I am saying is think about the people that see the things you post.  Think about the friends and family that have been with you and supported you your entire life that you are about to alienate because you didn't think that post was that bad or you didn't know how someone else would take it.

Abraham Lincoln said it best: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."  I had to unfollow a lot of people this week because of the uninformed, harmful things they were posting that affected me and people I love.  I'd say I'm sorry but I don't have tolerance or room in my life for negative hateful people.  So just think...before it's too late.
