Tell me we both matter, don’t we?
(Lyrics from Placebo – well, originally Kate Bush, but I *heart* the Placebo version, and it absolutely owns when sang live – firsthand experience ^^)
Things are looking weird here, which makes me rather distracted, don’t bite me if I make typos or stuff, k? Anyway.
You might or might not know about the things going on here, in this pretty little country. You know, demonstrations and other exciting things. That’s *not* what I’m gonna talk about. Seriously. I’ve wasted too big a part of my life already, trying to convince people that certain minorities have a right to live, too, and also that they’re allowed to do so in OUR country (apart from some cases, obviously).
Now, while surfing the net, I’ve accidentally come across this little beauty: http://www.bombagyar.hu/ (Okay, so it wasn’t that much of an accident. I admit, I was looking for it – happy now?) Feel free to check it out. It’s a nice read. Done? Are you upset yet? Wait, what… you don’t care? Or… or… you actually agree with them? GTFO of my blog!
Just kidding. Oh, you’re gone already? Ah well, you will be missed… not. Back to the topic, which is totally not whether all jews and gipsies should be kicked out of Hungary. It’s NOT. It’s the blog itself. Let’s say you* hate black people (You* don’t, do you*.): while I don’t agree with you, and if you ask my opinion, I’ll tell you how I think you’re wrong, but I’m not going to stalk you, find out your e-mail address, and spam you until you marry a black person, adopt black kids, and admit you’re actually black yourself.
You can have friends who hate blacks, too. You can gather up in your flat, and say nasty things about black people. If I find out you do this, I’ll probably never talk to you again – big loss, isn’t it ^^ – but I still won’t bitch at you, unless you invite me to one of your meetings.
But, if you write a goddamn blog about it, expecting people to comment – why, I’m gonna comment. Life sucks, huh. And I’m not going to do it because I want to provoke you (provoke: to incite anger, by the dictionary). I don’t want to make you angry. I want to discuss it. Supposing I don’t think you’re incapable of civil conversations (I don’t, really. Okay, maybe i do think so about some people, but not the author of the blog linked.), I might actually want you to tell me about your point of view. Of course, I’m going to tell you you’re wrong afterwards, but hey, you started the blog, and thus the debate.
On the other hand, if you’re just going to moderate my comment the very moment you find out I disagree with you, after which you will call me several times (I’m supposed to give you my phone number and address in order to registrate – wth.) to say… well, i don’t know what, I obviously couldn’t bother to go through the process only to be banned after 5 minutes. Instead, I’m complaining here. Makes sense, doesn’t it? /sarcasm
To add to the… insult, you tell me you need my real name and number, because you don’t want faceless comments. Riiight. Look, if I agree with you, why should I be ashamed of who I am? If I don’t, you’ll delete my posts anyway. Umm… so… what’s the point?
By the way, you say you wouldn’t be interested in my opinion, and that’s why you’d delete my posts. That pretty much means you don’t wanna hear anyone who doesn’t agree with you. Nice. You wanna live in your little personal bubble? Fine by me, but please, get off my internet. kthxbai 
No, really. You’re here cause you want to be praised by the ones who agree with you, but you ain’t enough of a grown up to face criticism? Full of confidence, aren’t we, now.
Ah well. Done bitching, I guess. See you, have fun. Or not. Go demonstrate. Blow stuff up, that will make Hungary richer. Seriously. It will also solve all our problems, as well as find the cure for cancer. /shoo
edit: *you: the “you” in the text is obviously not you, unless your name happens to be Tomcat, in which case you probably didn’t read it this far. Even if you were him, I wouldn’t be talking about you. (see, I’m a coward, too) You is just… people in general. Not all people, I mean… Oh well, I’m sure you understand. If you don’t, sorry for wasting your time. Have a nice life. :/
