Being A Gentleman in Real Life Is Important. Why Not Online?
http://artofmanliness.com/2011/07/13/being-a-gentleman-in-the-age-of-the-internet-6-ways-to-bring-civility-online/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheArtOfManliness+%28The+Art+of+Manliness%29/A gentleman treats others with dignity and respect, regardless of the kind of forum in which he participates. He treats life’s fellow travelers as he himself would like to be treated. And in doing so, he makes the world a little better of a place everywhere he goes. He leaves those he interacts with feeling edified and uplifted instead of depressed and angry. Every man has the power to brighten his corner of the world, whether that corner be in the office, his home, or online. The more men who decide to take the higher road of civility, the more enjoyable everyone’s lives become. And choosing to reject our baser impulses in favor of our higher ones is a big part of becoming our best selves and building our legacy.

Westboro Baptist Church to Protest Ryan Dunn's Funeral
Picture borrowed from <a href="http://eagleionline.com/2010/10/07/funeral-protest-case-to-test-limits-of-first-amendment/">eagleionline.com</a>
The Westboro Baptist Church never ceases to amaze me. I just don't understand them. What can they possibly hope to accomplish by picketing a funeral. At this point Ryan is dead, so they can't possibly hope to convert him. What good does it do to further tarnish the reputation of a dead man?
Am I the only one who doesn't get this?
Here's where I read the story. <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/westboro-baptist-church-plans-to-picket-ryan-dunn"> buzzfeed.com</a>
Ryan Dunn Is Dead
Unless you're a young, juvenile delinquent like myself, you're probably wondering who the heck Ryan Dunn is. Luckily for you, you haven't been living under a rock for the past ten-ish years and you've seen the movie Jackass. If that isn't the case, go out and watch it. It will be worth your while. Just don't eat a large meal beforehand. ;)
After you've watched Jackass, take a second and remember the scene where the guy shoves a toy car up his butt and visits the doctor. The fine young man who performed such prank is indeed the same Ryan Dunn referenced in the title of this post. Now that You know who I'm talking about, we can move on. I don't know much about Ryan Dunn. I've never followed him or anything he's done. Outside of Jackass, I would have no idea that he existed, which caused me to think a bit. How many people are there who are just like me? How many people will remember Ryan Dunn only as the guy who got his rocks off by sticking toy cars up his butt? Does it even matter how someone is remembered? Maybe I take it one step further. How do his parents feel as they try to mourn their son's death while the world recalls his least flatting moments? What do you think about all of this? Leave a comment below.Tuesday, June 7, 2011
