This is my impressed face

Reading around on LJ, you know what makes me glad? You guys - my friends list - being sensible. Not all the time, of course, but sensible when sense is really needed. Really, the sort of things I read about on other people's LJ, flists and comments run along these lines:

• People demanding DL5, or anything really, to be shared. (Because it's their RIGHT to have it and people who own it have a DUTY to share, yeah baby.)


• People reuploading flocked things when specifically requested not to. (If I share it on a Chinese forum, surely the OP won't find out and what people don't know doesn't hurt them!!11omg1!)


• People commenting on an entry of someone celebrating Michael Phelp's Olympic win saying "the West Coast feed is three hours behind, please do not spoil" (WTF. It's swimming. It's an event that lasts for mere minutes, you haven't been spoiled for blow-by-blow action where Swimming A overtook Swimmer B who then did a left turn and crashed into Swimmer C. Honey, this isn't racing, tennis or football. And the Olympics has the whole world watching. If you don't want to be spoiled, stay off the World Wide Web. And the TV. And radio. Maybe don't go out too, in case you accidentally hear someone discussing it. Or, maybe you could stop getting your panties in a twist.)

etc, etc.

Ah, internet.

Honestly, i don't understand those kinds of people in the west coast. I live here but really, if you don't want to be spoiled why are you on the computer? If you go on yahoo you get all the information there. It's not like they were watching a football game in the last 20 seconds with a tied game, and then someone just says who wins.

I actually don't mind that we don't have a live feed. I can half pay attention to the game and do other things and have my friends who've already watch it fill me in.
