The People Aliens Should Abduct First

So, I'm scrolling along reading random discussions and comments in various places around ye ol' internet, when I come across this gem:

M. S....Nobody cares about victims of bullying, even if it is a trend. People just want to say they care (to look good) but actually do nothing about it. LOL. Just stating my observations, not my opinion. Really, people need to stop giving a f*ck, it's the only real solution at the end of the day. (that, is my opinion)

I scroll up to read further and see exactly what has sparked this group of words strung together that is now banging around in my brain, and it's a conversation about bullying (obviously) on college campuses. I have to walk away, because at this point my mind is going berserk with thoughts like, "Is this how most people really feel? Have we become so callus and self-involved that this is the attitude we're all supposed to embrace about the problems in our world? The only real solution is to just not care, at all??????"

I change clothes, meanwhile mentally talking myself off the ledge. "It's going to be okay. This is not the norm. Generally speaking, most people do care..." but it's no use. I hate to admit that often those leading the charge on this issue i.e. bullying, really do seem to pay lip service to it, while in actuality, doing absolutely nothing. And how many other things does that premise equally apply? I mean, let's face it, one of the most publicly recognized bullies EVER is currently running for president and holding his own. If this doesn't make people shake their heads with the complete unreality of the situation, then I can't imagine what would.

And how many times a day do I encounter people who just don't give a f*ck about anything but themselves...in stores, as I walk down various aisles, or on the roads with drivers oblivious to the fact that they're driving a weapon and seem to think they're the only ones out there, or worse, that everyone else will just get the hell out of their way? When did people stop giving a damn about other people? When did we become so self-involved that anything and everything that has nothing to do with "us" became irrelevant? And why didn't I get a memo that that was how the human race was going to evolve? Have we officially reached the "Sorry folks, we're all out of humanity" phase?

If that's the case, and the aliens are coming, y'all just pick me up as you fly by...or better yet, take all those yahoo's who care more about their phone, or whatever, than any person or thing they pass by on the streets. I want absolute zero part in a race of beings who "no longer have any f*cks to give." Thanks.
