Our culture allows for people to be jerks. They can get away with it and so they go ahead and take advantage. Imagine if we didn't (as a culture), put up with people being jackasses. Sure there would still people out there that were, but it would be a far lower number. The most amazing thing about this is that jackasses actually seem to thrive in our culture. I'm not exactly sure why but people like them, for some reason we seek their approval in hopes that they might not be jackasses to us. It is all quiet weird if you ask me, but I don't think their is much we can do about it. I think there is a natural psychological reason for our attraction and need for acceptance, but I imagine it is also trained into us as well.
Jerk
I'm not talking about Steve Martin,
I actually think he is nice,
does magic and stuff.
I'm talking about jerks.
The guys that do as they please,
especially if it hurt someone else.
We let them do it,
sure we may call them a jerk,
or an asshole,
but they know they still have the power,
that they are the ones wearing the proverbial pants.
So I say we rise up,
do as we please,
and make them feel bad about the insecurities they overcome by making fun of other.
In other words,
be jerks.
