Why do people take things too far?

It will become plainly honest that I play a game called World of Warcraft by Blizzard Entertainment. WoW as many know it is a MMORPG, and Blizzard has spent a lot of time making a world that can be challenging and fun. My rant today is about the people who take the game way too far. There are many people who will ridicule someone because they cant hit as hard as someone else, or don't have what they consider the right equipment. These people will also endlessly heckle someone over the smallest detail. These are also the people that you can find logged into this game any hour of any day. They say that America has become the fattest country in the world, and it's no wonder. Too many adults and children spend all of their time sitting on their asses playing WoW, or any other game of it's type, or in front of the television. Nobody seems to want to get out of the house and enjoy our world, or all the infrastructure many communities builds. Park, Museums, Zoo's. They are all tourist attractions, but I have noticed something. On a beautiful day, I went to the city I live in's Zoo. I remember as a child going to this Zoo with my parents and it was crammed tight with people. The Zoo was still busy on this day 20 years later, but not as I remember it. The crowds were at the shows, but it wasn't near what is was then. Why? I am by no means a small man, but why cant we get out more? Why cant Americans get off our collective duffs and do something instead of increasing our chances for heart disease and shortened lifespans? Beyond the health risks... the afore mentioned "gamers" do not ever unplug. They know the right thing to have at any time and will make sure you know that think you are fail. It's a game.....I pay 15 bucks like you do. I don't care about your opinion. This... obsession isn't stuck to just this game. Any type of entertainment has it's own obsessive fans. They know everything and going to tell you that you and your team are wrong. This people can take a flying leap for all I care. It's my money, my time, and all of you who thing you know everything about everything can take a long walk off a short bridge.

My thoughts tonight

Tonight. I got into a conversation in a game about homosexuality. As I said. I do think Homosexuality is wrong. I will NOT on the other hand go about bashing or in any other way advocate violence against homosexuals. I want to know why it is considered wrong for me to speak up and say. I think homosexuality is wrong in my opinion. I'm not going to "gay bash" anyone. I'm not going to destroy a homosexual's property or follow them around spewing my beliefs at them. I made one statement and I have.. offended. No shit. I am not here to sit by idly and push my thoughts down so that others may force me to think a different way. This is what I think. I am not easily offended, and I believe that those who are need to get a grip on life. Life is not easy, or fair, or guaranteed to go your way. We are all allowed free will. We have all been given mouths with which we can make noises that other human interpret as speech. In our.. "modern" society the idea of going against something is.. taboo and wrong. So, you see me as wrong for saying I don't think homosexuality is right. Am I wrong for having gay and lesbian friends. I have told them what I feel, and it ended with that conversation. It is just that. We as people.... humans. Need to quit worrying about offending, and just talk to each other. We don't have to get along with everyone. Here is the other statement I will make this eve that may blow someones mind. I do not agree with homosexuality but I will protect someones right to live their life as they see fit with all that I can. There it is. Do I think homosexuality is right. No. I RESPECT other's thoughts and beliefs. Please respect mine. I'm not going hate you, but I'm Irish. We WILL tell you how we feel.
