Someone people wonder why I have yet to get married. Probably, because I spent the first part of my adult life in the Army and saw some weird marriage stuff.

When I served, I had several "marriage" proposals. I turned all of them down. I put the word "marriage" in quotes because it was fraudulent- the marriages were only meant to secure better quarters and get better pay. Back then (and it's still true today), single people were treated like crap- no matter what their rank.

I saw some pretty whack arrangements myself- but even though the huge raise in pay was tempting- refused to participate.

That was one of the things I saw repeatedly, too. Kind of cheapened the sanctity of marriage in my view.

Sadly, I've seen more bad marriages than good ones, and more people married for the wrong reasons than the 'right' ones. Like you, I've never married, and am quite content to remain so. It's amazing how common sense goes right out the window when that subject is concerned, and every time I hear the word 'sanctity' associated with 'marriage', I have to suppress a snark-ass laugh.

How low can man or woman stoop to satisfy their Lust for Money or Self aggrandizement.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
