A Random Life Remembered in Song and Dance ---- A Potential Suicide Prevented through Modern Medicine

01/21/2019 --- Somewhere in Outer Space Dear life, I give up you fuckers, you win, I quit! Seriously. Stop it!!!  --- Some random stranger screaming on the sidewalk heading in to a major department store Random flies skimming through the sky, laughing at me, worthless putz of a kindless fuck, wishing I was dead before the strike of noon, Eastern Standard Time. Misery loves company, that misery is better than the lost love who will haunt your dreams, make you wish you had emptied the bottle of whiskey in a giant gulp, sins of the father, drift into the son, transference, blame game, night time thoughts keeping him awake, is he worth the trouble to keep breathing? We sat there reading our obituaries drinking gasoline, lighting cigarettes as if we didn't care that the sky was raining down acid upon our heads, the gods angry at our misuse of words in the context of the situation. Suicide was not an option, according to Ann Landers, she told us in a letter addressed to Elv...

FACEBOOK AND THE ART OF THE BAN: Use the term TRASH in any form

Tuesday, November 20th, 2018 - Facebook Jail

Anyone who has been on Facebook any length of time has gotten the dreaded "Violation of the Terms of Service!"

Recently, because of Facebook's stupidity in the 2016 election, they have changed their "Terms of Service" making it easier for the ban hammer to throw you into "Facebook Jail", a place I have apparently grown quite fond of.

I have been a member of the Facebook since 2007, according to my profile, and from 2007 till recently, I never set foot into FB jail, even though I have been quite an asshole in my trips there, making rude jokes, commentary and blatant ripoffs of 80s sit coms.

That all change in the recent year, receiving my first ban over a fantasy art pic that showed too much leg according to the Facebook Bot who I will name Steve.

3 days in the hole!!

I took some time off, clipping my toe nails, washing my hair, writing love poetry to imaginary lovers.

I came back with the promise of life anew, I wouldn't post any "Naughty" pictures or say any bad words.

This lasted about a month when in a heated flame war with a turd, I called him a "Cod sucker", actual term used, and he reported it as "Hate speech" (making sure to delete his own comments!)

I was thrown into jail for 30 days.

Okay, I thought, I shouldn't have fell for that one but yeah, okay, maybe it was hate speech.

So a few months back, I was being good, minding my Qs and Cs, when one day I made a joke, not thinking it was "Racist" or "hate filled" I made a post stating "I hate white people, they scare me!! When I see them walking down the street, I call the police!!"

Facebook doesn't like irony too much (me being white and well, calling the police on white people walking down street is a turn about is fair play!!!) and off to Facebook jail for 30 days.

I stayed cleaned up until a few days ago.

A good friend of mine, made a post, looking for recommendations for an ethnic restaurant, and being the sarcastic bitch at heart I am, made the recommendation of "McDonald's. What? White trash is an ethnic!" 

I know it wasn't proper English but I laughed at my own joke and moved on.

A day later, the hammer came down.

"Hate speech!!" Facebook screamed as if I had called their mom and whore and spit in her eye, right after we made love, a sweet love, an afternoon delight written about in song in 1978!

In the notice, there was a link to have my post and sentence reviewed, this time I clicked on it, this was not hate speech, but a fine witty comment only the finest comedic genius would say if they were sober for three days.

In an ironic, "Facebook says fuck you!", the link was broken, leading to a "Sorry, this function is currently unavailable, please try again later!"

I wanted justice, I demanded it!!!

I clicked on another link I found and this time, my review went through, except no chance to explain my well thought out defense.

Facebook denied me!!

"It's hate speech!!! You habitual offender!!!" they screamed.

Appeal again! I screamed in some lost language, this is not hate speech, it might be tasteless but in the sense that Andy Warhol was tasteless, not everyone's cup of tea but still a drinkable cup of tea, it wasn't like I killed a million people trying to find eternal life or something.

It wasn't like I had said "All men are trash!!" (which will also get you banned I have discovered in my search on Google!!)

And now I wait, to be denied again probably, but at least I am fighting against an unjust system; a system that allows spammers to spam the comment section with illegal movie downloads, ads advertising wireless signal sniffers and wireless password hacking tools (federal offense! Hacking is a crime Facebook!! You could go to real jail, and not nice prison with tennis courts and spas, but pound you in the butt hole federal prison!!!) and ads for dildos but say "Trash" and off to Facebook jail you go.

Post a historic analysis of Adolf Hitler and woosh, off to Facebook jail you go.

I know there's real hate speech online, specifically on Facebook, I've seen it, vile stuff, advocating the assassination of a sitting President, etc.

I reported such crap and Facebook states, "Though offensive, this does not violate our terms of service!"

Until the FBI got involved and then, "Hey! You were right!! Bad people making death threats is bad!!! Good job!! Here's a gold star!!! But sorry, you went behind our back!! 30 days in the hole!!!"

Codsuckers!!
