You know something ...
I have absolutely no problem with people who want to tell it like it is. I agree that those are the people you can trust the most. I have so much respect for people who are able to be up front and tell someone what's up.
What I have a huge problem with is someone who's rude. Someone who doesn't care about being tactless, crude, unrefined, and disrespectful in order to get their point across. Someone who has absolutely no concern for other people at all.
Let me tell you something you poor excuse for humanity. You think it's okay to tell racist and gay jokes just because it's supposed to be funny? You think it's fine if other people are offended by you in an environment that's suppose to harbor team work and cooperativeness?
It's not.
I am one of those people who really does not care what the rest of the world has to say about what I do or don't do. That does not under any circumstance mean I'm going to do something that I know or am aware is hurtful to people around me in any way. Your opinion? I could care less about it. Whether something I do is going to directly have an impact or consequence on you is completely my business. What I do is my business and nobody else should have to suffer negatively because of something I do.
IE: You wanna get drunk? Peachy. You want to get drunk, go driving, and possibly hurt -another- person in the process? Go to hell.
I don't care if you're trying to be straight up, help someone out, or letting out your frustration about a particular situation. Do it in private or around people you -know- are okay with it. Stop being a jerk. And don't you dare say I'm telling you not to express yourself. Just STOP BEING RUDE.
SO! In conclusion ..
-Being straight forward is awesome.
-Being expressive about how you feel is awesome.
-Being honest is awesome.
-Being yourself is awesome.
-Being RUDE* in the process of any of the above is not at all awesome.
*(Rude: ill-mannered: socially incorrect in behavior, ill-bred, lacking in refinement or grace, uncivil, crude)
That is all.
Peace, Love & Pancakes

I completely agree with you!!! It is very common to hear racist and gay jokes down here, but I don't find them funny at all. I mostly just stare at them, shake my head, and walk away. I'll never understand why people feel like being rude and hurtful is an alright thing.
