 Howdy, so let me ask you a question. You know y'all are watching this which basically says that you know something about social media So we've got all these different websites we have Facebook and Twitter and LinkedIn and Google Plus and we also have YouTube and You know we go to these places and we have a little bit of fun Entertainment some happiness Maybe we get to talk to some friends or some people that we're just meeting for the first time and life can be pretty good and Then you have the other side where you have all the hate and nastiness that comes out You know some of y'all have been to some of the sites on YouTube where you got to deal with the trolls You'll be on Twitter and you will suddenly get these hateful messages that pop out of nowhere Sometimes it even it doesn't have anything to do with anything that you've posted or that anyone else is posted You know this stuff just comes So one of the things that I tend to do is I block a lot of stuff You know on Twitter it depending on what client you use you can block certain words You can easily block people you can block bots. You can report them You can block sites that earth the heck out of you you can do that on Facebook I use Firefox and there is a plug-in called FB purity And so I use that and I block a lot of stuff that I just don't want to see and You can do that. I don't know if you can actually do it on Google Plus I know you can block users on Google Plus and you can block users on LinkedIn if you know if you really want to So I had someone who was saying to me well wait a minute Some of the stuff that you block and you know as far as politics goes You're blocking because these are people who differ, you know in their opinion from what you do is that fair, you know shouldn't you have to Evaluate what someone who you think you disagree with Evaluate what they have to say before you make your decision and I didn't even hesitate. I said no You don't have to do that. Why don't I have to do that? Because I can read, you know They got this thing called reading where you actually look at the words and you make your you know Decisions based on what you read so I can go to CNN comm or I can go to NBC comm I don't go to Fox spews because come on really that's not real news But I can see all these things I have flip board on my phone and on my nook So I can go to flip board and I can see the news so I know what's going on I know what people are saying. I don't need to listen to someone else's Interpretation of what the news actually says and have them trying to convince me of something You know what? I'm not trying to convince anybody of anything if I happen to share a positive news story about President Obama You know what? I am going to support President Obama. That's it, but I haven't put out anything I don't think maybe I have I don't know positive, you know about Hillary Clinton. I haven't bashed Bernie Sanders I Every once in a while I I do bash Cruz cuz I don't like him and I bashed Trump everyone's bashing Trump But I have decided to stop doing that too because it seems that the more you mention the name the more it just keeps coming to you And I don't want to bring that kind of negativity into my life So, you know, it's that question. Do you have to subject yourself to bad things on social media? You know what? I read these articles where there's a lot of people who say, oh my god It's just bothering me so much all these people are saying these different things I got to get off social media because social media is ruining my life And I'm thinking why would you let social media ruin your life? You know, you probably have friends you have family you have other people you want to talk to There's a lot of great information that is on social media or on websites or on the internet or whatever and you can't hide from Everything just because there's stuff that bothers you when there's something that you like I mean, I spend a lot of time watching YouTube videos and there's stuff I don't watch and it's not just stuff. I disagree with there's stuff that I agree with that It just gets overwhelming and you just don't want to keep hearing it over and over I mean, how many times can they bash someone that you don't like and you just sit there and just keep listening to it It gets into your pores and you just can't get it out of there So I'd rather go clean. You know what? I have not watched TV news in about three or four years now And I feel great if I want to go see the news Then I'll just go online and I will check some stuff and I get off. I do the same with the local news I haven't watched any local news in a long time and I know some of these people locally So I probably should be watching just to give support But you know what? I see them at events and I talk to them and they don't know I'm not watching So there you go. So let me ask you this question Do you think that people have a right to bring bad stuff to you with the intention that you have to see it? Or do you believe you have the right to say, you know what? I don't want all that garbage and all that negativity in my life. I want a little bit of peace Give me your opinion down below unless you're a troll in which case you're gonna get blocked and we don't need that So anyhow, y'all let me know. I hope you have a wonderful day I hope everyone has a wonderful day even those people I don't like I just hope they don't have a wonderful day at my expense That's just so wrong y'all take care
