(81,523 posts)I doubt that some of them are that self-aware, that they understand "what they've gotten us into."
They're just as impulsive as he is. All they know is what they want RIGHT THIS INSTANT! I doubt it's occurred to them that what their actions are aiming for is TOTAL FUCKING ANARCHY!
They're the "nobody tells ME what to do" crowd.
And I'm sorry to have to break it to them, but that's what we have government for. That's what we have police departments for. That's what we have fire departments for. That's what we have poison control for. That's what we have hospitals and doctors' and dentists' office visits - and dietitians and physical therapists and veterinarian visits for. That's what we have red-yellow-green stop 'n' go lights at intersections for. That's what we have a vehicle code for. That's what we have traffic control people out there with signs to "SLOW" or "STOP" when they're fixing the road and have things choked down to one-lane-only and have to manage two-way traffic, for Pete's sake. That's what we have instruction manuals for. That's what we have doctors' instructions for - when you get a prescription filled, that's what we have pharmacists for, who confront you when you're paying for your prescription, to ascertain that you understand the FUCKING INSTRUCTIONS before you take your meds and head for home. That's what we have fitness clubs, personal trainers, and exercise classes for. That's what we have teachers and professors and ministers and church leaders for. Hell, that's what we have the fucking Food Network for! To tell you what to do to fucking COOK something properly, forcryingoutloud!
If they want to live a "nobody tells me what to do" life, then they need to find their own island to live on, set up their own island nation, and live there. And I'd bet they'd want to dictate what to do to everybody who dared to try to settle on THEIR island.
They don't call it Dumbfuckistan for nothing.
