Why do we blog?

oh no not another reflective narcissistic post about some bugger wondering why he writes the stuff he writes! why can't people just get along with their core business and envision their values and just run the corporation the way its done?

it seems the Maharajah of Bad Things has been upsetting people again. this time its Miss Passionately Patient. who on a personal note i dont think is boring at all. But the M of Bad doesnt deal with people with tact it seems. now 'oh please you are boring' may seem a tad harsh to put in there as a comment. but personally i'v heard far worse from jerry.

but there was no upsetting Miss Patient it seems. the comment triggered off a reflective post on the rationale behind blogging that got me thinking. Actually i'v been thinking about this now and then and hell, sooner or later we all write a reflective post about said topic dont we.

are we all boring? or are we just interesting to some people? and if we are interesting is that the sole reason to keep writing? or are we writing for our own pleasure in which case comments and hits and such like will be just a bonus? But what is this 'own pleasure' we seek?

does something we write have to be interesting? or are we but whores for attention? which leads us to the question of what it is we write in the first place, and why we do it.

The Freedom to Bitch - A Question

'Freedom of speech also includes freedom to bitch'

The words of The Artist Formerly Known as St. Fallen.

I am reading a lot of defiant and politically incorrect posts going up all over the place. Politically obtuse, religiously insulting, generally insulting, socially degrading, racist, sexist, you name it, we've got it on Kottu.

Is this a good thing?

What do yall think?

Here's a question...

for all you gay people and pro-gay people out there.

If the whole of the world's population were to turn gay, would that be ok?

And if that happened, wouldn't the human race disappear over the course of one generation?

Ok that was a couple of questions. Sorry about that.

I know there are a lot of intelligent people out there who proudly uphold the cause of gay people, and I want to know if they've thought through this particular (longer term, but albeit relevant) aspect of the whole thing.

So fire away.
