PC be damned!

I know it's not politically correct to say anything negative about anyone, so I won't. However, I believe it is open season on people's behaviour.

Yes, we believe in free speech in this country, but for pete's sake, if you don't have something intelligent to say - do us all a favour and keep it to yourself. Just because you talk louder doesn't make you right.

Only truly ingnorant people justify anything by saying "that's the way it's always been". Sometimes the way it's always been has been terribly, terribly wrong.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Again, I merely ask that you base that opinion on some fact. Do the work it takes to form an intelligent, well thought-out, reasonable opinion. Just because you read or heard someone else's opinion on something and are regurgitating it, doesn't make you sound informed.

(Is anyone sensing I'm on an anti-ignorance rant?)

If you are negative all the time, no one wants to hear from you. Most of us want to surround ourselves with positive people. If your life is that bad, seek professional help. There is absolutely no shame in seeking counseling to work out your troubles. Constantly burdening your friends with your negativity is unfair, uncool and unproductive.

Does anyone else see the incredible irony in people bitching about bitchy people?

Here's some reality - your Facebook 'friends' may not actually be your friends. Keep the really personal information off of Facebook. Future employers have access to FB too. Think about it.

If you have to look over your shoulder before you say something - you probably shouldn't say it.

Why do so many women spend all of their time on the wedding and absolutely no time on the marriage?

Why do you think it's ok to interrupt someone?

'Please' and 'thank you' are words that never go out of style.

Your perfume/cologne/aftershave is giving me a headache. Wear it when you're home, not in the workplace.

Cover your mouth when you cough/sneeze/yawn.

If you want to improve your life, do something that will improve someone else's life.

If you just stand by and say nothing while witnessing an injustice, you're just as guilty as the perpetrator. Speak up. Stick your neck out. Do what is right. Be an ethical person.

It's all right to choose one cause and not all causes. Just support something.

Nobody's perfect, but why not keep trying?
