you're not "just sayin" and you're not "just puttin' that out there."

some of the harshest comments, opinions, retorts, etc. that i have ever heard are followed by the words, "just sayin" or "i'm just puttin' that out there."

i wish we'd all be honest and say what we really mean which is, "i'm sayin' what anyone with even the teensiest bit of sense or compassion for a fellow human being would say and if you disagree, you're an idiot."

tacking on "i'm just sayin" or "i'm just puttin' that out there" is another way of saying, "i hope this doesn't offend anyone, but....."

this society is so freaking afraid of offending somebody. i am so freaking sick of everybody being so freaking afraid of offending somebody.

i am even more sick of not telling the truth, which, in this culture, is tantamount to losing your job or worse, gettin sued. when you say, "i'm just sayin," it's just your flimsy-ass attempt at dodging a literal or figurative pink slip. grow some balls.

i'm just sayin.
