I Hate Our Culture...

So at some point over the weekend, The Littlest Offering tells me she heard Chris Brown beat up Rihanna because "Rihanna gave Chris Brown herpes."

How do you know this?  I asked.

I know people, she said.

So we had a discussion about herpes ("Do you know what herpes is?"  "No."  "It's a disease that will never kill you, but it can make your life pretty miserable.  But still, it's no excuse for beating someone up.") and about gossip and about violence against people weaker than you.

Thank you, Chris Brown, for that teachable moment.  I hate your guts.
