If you can't change them, and if you refuse to join them... what next?

When something happens (something small, something epic, whatsoever), you'll start noticing a lot of messages, taglines and, sometimes uncanny, words that appears over various internet interfaces such as forums, blogs, and social websites. I guess as the multimedia develops, more and more people want to have a say in things around them. The context, too, varies. From individual events such as birthdays, to social events such as exams and gatherings, and to nationwide or even worldwide events, people will comment on whatsoever they feel like. It's hard to miss them, especially when you log on to various platforms such as msn and facebook and start seeing messages from a same category of people commenting on one common aspect of things, you'll know something has happened. The thing is, they are all too obvious to be missed.

Of course, I get it. Everyone wants to have their say, to the public and, if not, their friends and amongst their social circle. Expressionism is one major aspect of post-modernism and it's only natural that everyone wants to have a share of the pie. But then and again, it's only through these kinda events that you can get a better understanding of the people around you. Those who posts hell lots of comments, and tries to comment on each and everyone's comments (chain reaction, eh?). Those who watches in silence except for a few clicks on "like" buttons. Those who spam in forums under a name that no one knows. Those who sit back and watches as the world go round (that'll be yours truly =D). And of course, theres those who post a comment, saying "who the F*** cares" and calls it a day.

Yea, I don't really like to comment on stuff. I'm the type who usually keeps my comments to myself, though I'll be happy to bombard some if you ask =D. Anyway, theres only two probable outcomes of such taglines and stuff. Either you agree with the flow, or you disagree. Well, if you agree, it's be a stereotypical way of commenting on the same event like the whole world does. Maybe you can apply a wit or two, but thats all. And then maybe some others will agree with you and, ya, end of story. And if you disagree, ho ho ho, people like me will be happy cause it's show time =D (sorry, im being a bit cynical here, for humor's sake, trust me). A heated debate will start and people will be bombarding comments here and there. Well, maybe there'll be attacks, vulgarities, and maybe people will dig into your background, info, bla bla bla. Still, that's what happens. Oh and maybe the little facade of the internet can shield you. Maybe, but then and again, watch what you say. It's better for your health.

Still, I'll stick to my fence. No comments, no likes or dislikes. Just watch as the days rot by.
