I guess I have overcome apathy and am on a roll

prejudice
and running out of apathy is this

Tom Tomorrow nails it

He nails it with this and then expands it to this

so...

I did a post about politics and facebook friends. I actually had lunch with birther woman who admitted she went over the top as I have to admit I did as well considering it was facebook. As for the other person, I have heard nothing. I did send a Xmas card because I am perverse in that way

Call me crazy

The spokesghoul for the NRA sez call me crazy. My response is yes you are crazy and a sick fuck to boot. How is the death of anyone including 6 year olds acceptable? No one needs high capacity magazines or high velocity weapons.

Horrific

Absolutely appalling. I have seen some comments about the death penalty and castration. My feelings are that being isolated 24 hours a day for their rest of their sorry ass lives is much worse.

Facebook and Friends

I'm not a person who likes to make personal waves so I pretty much accept most friend requests unless I absolutely have no idea who the person is.
In any case, I also wouldn't unfriend but would hide (which doesn't seem to be an option anymore) posts from those it was a mistake to friend.

I had two friends who were more work friends than "lets hang out and get loaded" friends. Both of them are republicans and Romney supporters. Being the opposite, I would respond to what I felt was bullshit strongly. I realized that they felt I was coming on too strong and toned back my posts and responses in the interest of keeping the friendship. However, one of them was full on birther and was constantly posting "Obummer" crap. I really was torn about what to do and was looking at the old option to just hide posts when I realized that the other person no longer showed up on my friend list.
Wow, thanks Facebook for the ability to do non-confrontational unfriends.

Bottom line - I just don't want to deal with people who aren't family with whacka-a-doodle/hateful opinions in my life.

I just watched the trailer for "that Movie"

Of course I am speaking of the "The Innocence of the Muslims". The only intent of that piece of drek was a unfortunately successfully attempt by christian extremists to provoke a response from muslim extremists. Christians are just as a capable of protest and violence when there is a film that they find offensive. At least Last Temptation of Christ had better production values even though jesus was a method actor.
