It is from the New York Times. Seems I am only one of MILLIONS of people who do this…If I believed some people, that would mean that Millions of people are obsessed with their situations and most likely unstable. Oh my the world has gone MAD….LOL
Actually blogging is an acceptable form of communications today. People can still be held accountable for what they say and can be disciplined if they are in a profession that restricts their freedom of speech, but for the most part people use blogging for social interactions, to vent, to share thoughts, ideas, opinions and even to make points to their readers that there readers may not like or agree with. Some use them for business, and professional reasons. Others may use them for seeking out support or opposing opinions in order to start a debate, or even just for conversational purposes. Simply blogging is a form of communication that is now an acceptable and normal way for many who have limited social interactions in the areas they blog about and to share information.
Blogging and twittering are normal and acceptable and those who think of those who blog as deranged, obsessed over their situations, or anything negative simply have not yet grasped the concept of blogging yet. Albeit there are some that have proved to be unstable, those are a minuscule amount compared to those who use it for more productive purposes.
Bloggers are protected under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution under freedom of Speech. That means you can name names and expose things to the public that others want hidden as long as you do not violate Liable Laws or threaten people with violence (which is criminal). Posting truth and opinions are rights.
I am beginning to think that I live in part of the world that probably still uses betamax tapes (like VHS tapes only very obsolete) and vinyl records. Heaven forbid they would use smart phones or MP3 players or DVR’s or even Bluetooth or Blue Ray Players. That would seem to be inconsistent with their belief that Blogging and twittering is a sign of a mental health issue.
