I figured since everyone's panties were in a bunch from my sarcastic rebuke to rachel, Id show what it exactly said. She in no way said anything negative to me or about me, she just thought it was sad that my journal got as many comments as it does and that one of the more serious entries got very few:
The sad thing is, his one entry where he talked about a schoolmate's father dying and how horrible he felt about it... got a mere 4 comments. The smallest number of comments throughout his journal. Now what does that show? It shows the only thing the readers of his journal are interested in and have become accustomed to responding to are negative things, things that spark controversy and disagreement. 4 people chose to comment on one of their classmates losing his father, yet 21 people can comment on MTV, 38 people can comment on aborting downs syndrome kids, and 52 people can comment on Josh. But only 4 can comment on someone losing their father
Now I think its pretty obvious why this occurs the way that it does. Think about it, when Jakes father died, I went to the wake, but I was terrified Id say something stupid or offend he or his family somehow. Most of the people that read this wouldnt even know jake, and they were most likely afraid that if they said something wrong they'd be ridiculed to no end. I mean I didnt expect a lot of comments, death is terrifying. The reason why the other stuff gets comments is because its actually relevant, its actually stuff that people see around them in their everyday lives. I mean we are bombarded with religion and politics from every type of media. People have opinions, and its undeniable that I have very strong opinions, so what the hell, why not say them here, why not prove to someone, even if its just my parents, that kids aren't the idiots that we look like. I think we can all agree thats better than half of these retarded livejournals. Like that girl that preached to me about how im a conceited and cocky, and im a giant prick blah blah blah... heres some conceit...your livejournal sucks, thats why you're reading mine...I looked at it, its as crappy as everyone elses.
So I hesitate to appoligize for my last entry, because really im not sorry.... but I do appologize for not completely presenting rachel's side of the thing... that was a little cheap
Oh and that whole thing about me being bitter about being shutdown.. I think Kevin and James rebuked that quite effectively...but yes.. rachel shut me down.. so did most of her friends..so did most of that school.. and most of my school...and most of the other schools around the seacoast.... trust me......Im bitter as all hell....but dont kid yourself that its because of any one person
