WTF?
What is up with using the phrase "grammar nazi" as a pejorative? When the fuck did ignorance suddenly become a laudable thing? When did someone else observing the fact that someone has made it to adulthood and failed to obtain a workable knowledge in their own native language make the person making the observation the asshole? Spare me the bit about "it's what you say not how you say it". If how you say it reflects the fact that you are ignorant, lazy or stupid, how is that NOT a factor in the weight of what you say? The Palinization of our nation is a sad thing to witness, but if we are going to go the way of Rome, I, for one, am looking forward to the bit where we feed the Christians to the lions.
And when did use of the phrase "Its not my fault" stop getting questioned? I see this one a LOT on my weight loss blogs and groups. A LOT. Its my metabolism. If the internet is to be believed, we have a nation of people with hormonal problems and Krispy Kreme and McDonalds are going bankrupt while the veggie farmers are simply overrun. Only 99.9% of the people claiming to have a thyroid problem haven't been told this by an actual doctor, they never even go to a doctor, they aren't on any sort of thyroid medication. It just sounds like a workable excuse. Here is a news flash. Your fat cells are not reading your posts where you claim to eat well. You can't bullshit your body. Making up a fake medical problem as an excuse doesn't prevent heart attacks. It doesn't even achieve the basic goal of making you sound good. It makes you sound like a person incapable of personal responsibility and a liar. You know what people who actually have a thyroid condition do? They see a doctor and go on medication. I saw one woman post complaining that she could not lose weight even though she ate so healthily with a a list of what she ate that day, and it was pretty much all sugar and carbs. When people told her she wouldn't lose weight eating that way, she started to argue with them. Hey - dumb bitch - didn't you start off with "I am not losing weight"? So maybe, just maybe, pork with potatoes and rice and no veggies ISN'T working for you, no matter what your google search on whether potatoes are healthy said?
I need to get my desk upholstered and my palm padded.
Now I am hungry,damnit. I am going to go eat a Christian.
