You’re Probably An Asshole

IF…

In no particular order, this latest blog was brought about by the religious zealots, the racists and the all out assholes who felt the need to chime in during one of the worst natural disasters in Alberta’s history. I am referring of course to Fort McMurray.

You’re probably an asshole if:

1. You equated the fires in Fort Mac with some kind of spiritual parallel where karma is giving it to the whole population for their participation in the oil industry
2. You believe that this is the time to point out the faults of our current government, past government and any government official that doesn’t currently meet your specific conditions for being able to ….fucking govern.
3. While people are generously giving everything they can afford to give, while government officials are doing everything in their power to make good governing decisions and while those in the trenches are working tirelessly to keep everyone safe — you somehow turn this into a issue of immigration, race and hatred by pointing out that Fort Mac deserves the money more than refugees.
4. You think this is a good time to promote your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram accounts using any of the various hashtags associated with the Fort Mac fires.
5. You think Trump is an actual viable choice for leader of the United States.
6. Your dog has a pinch collar.
7. Your truck has more than 8 inches of lift and blows black billowy trails of smoke on your daily commute to work.
8. You’re still wearing true religion jeans and think that T-shirts with Affliction written across them is dressing up for a date.
9. You think bicyclists are the worst kind of people because — they take up space on the road and offend your sensibilities and love of big trucks and cars that blow black billowy smoke when asserting domination on the road.
10. You listen to Nickleback (Sorry for those fans who don’t fit into this…oh screw it!)
11. You wanted to donate money to Red cross but you’re down to your last cigarette and liter of diesel in the big ol’ truck.

Yes, if you haven’t put it all together — I’m basically saying that you’re an asshole if anything on this list pertains to you.

The good news is — it’s not to late to join the rest of us. The human race. Heard of it?
