The hysteria around "Somail pirates" has never sat well with me, but I never knew concretely why. Luckily, fightingwords is on my friends page and posts things to help clarify.
people can be so hateful and short-sighted and ignorant and mean, all for the supposed sake of being cool, clever, pithy. i need to take a break from the internet today though, because my reaction all day has "stop being stupid and mean because i want to scream in your face and stab you in the eyeball so hard" and that is not exactly healthy either!!
but i do kinda want to stab that DJ in the eyeball for you, too.
