Give a Shit: Yea or Nay?

Tiger Woods having an affair? Nay

The latest way to stay thin? Nay

Whether or not LeBron James is staying with the Cavs when he's a free agent? Half-hearted Nay.

Sales happening / money / winning shit for the holidays? Nay.

That chick who got into a whitehouse dinner, uninvited? Nay.

The fact that we're still at war? Yea.

The fact that I am still paid 70 cents on a man's dollar? Yea.

The fact that so many people still don't have access to adequate healthcare? Yea.

The fact that credit companies are doing everything they possibly can to prevent people from paying off their debts? Yea.

The fact that education is unmanageably expensive and yet, ironically, the only way to make it above the poverty level in the United States? Yea.

The fact that our isolationism is largely ignored, accepted, misnamed and causing many of our social problems? Yea.

The fact that young girls feel as though they owe their bodies to any young boy who shows them attention? Yea.

The fact that young boys are permitted to continue their bad behaviors because they "will be boys?" Yea.

Living in a society in which small scale news items are made out to be huge deals while the actual huge issues are glossed over entirely because we'd all rather think about something else since we've all been conditioned to view comfort and ignorance as being of the utmost importance? Priceless.
