No, you shut up!

   One thing I realized about living in this city, is every damn person believes that you are entitled to their opinions, whether you like it or not. Aah, free speech, the last bastion for the incurably stupid. I'm glad we Torontonians live in a city where all ideas, no matter how asinine, are voiced and heard. Sometimes though, I wish people would keep their dumb traps shut (irony)!  We all need to take a collective deep breath and think about what we are saying and whether or not it's important enough to say at all.
   I don't care if you would fuck whoever, marry who gives a shit and kill some dumb schmuck that you wouldn't even theoretically fuck or marry. SHUT THE FUCK UP, seriously!  If you absolutely have to have a meaningless conversation in public, have the common decency to keep the decibel level to a hushed incoherent mumble.
    Occasionally, a brave but misguided fool at the end of their rope will nut up and lay into these yammering CHUDS. The result of one of these outbursts is anything but well received. Faint war drums are heard in the distance, a call to arms is declared. I've personally been on streetcars that have erupted into full scale war zones. Water bottles start flying and crumpled newspapers are hurled along with clever insults like "Hey sweatbags, I really like your mustard stain" and "Nice tits, buddy!". Sometimes even dukes are raised and fisticuffs ensue. Never a good sign, as innocent bystander are oft caught in the crossfire.
  Why can't we, as a society, wrangle up these Morlocks and send them back to the sewers where they belong, leaving us peaceful Eloi to bask in our utopia? Well, the answer is simple. That would be fascism. Just because people are ignorant doesn't mean they don't have the right to be themselves. Not everyone is entitled to do or say whatever they want, whenever they want to. People need to treat each other with respect no matter how stupid and obnoxious we are or can be. We need to hold ourselves to a higher standard. On the whole, we need to talk less and say more.
Side note; if you've ever been concerned about your carbon footprint, why don't your hold your breath until you pass out. Save your breath, save the planet.
