Ok, this is possibly me being over critical or over dramatic (things i can do quite well)...however, I just need to vent.
Now, I understand that everyone in this country has their own opionion on things and I respect that...believe it or not, i do...Most everyone knows I am a bleeding heart liberal. I understand that many people dont hold that value. The first thing we are always taught as children is to never talk politics, as it just brings out arguements and you are never going to change anyone's opinions....case in point, i know that my bro-in-law and sis-in-law are pretty much republicans...and yet they are some of my best friends....we just dont talk politics (or if we do, its just them making fun of me...in a humorous, non-competative way).
So, I log onto Facebook today and someone I went to college with must have been bored and took all of those stupid quizzes. Now, I try to keep facebook light-hearted, as it is a social networking sight basically for people-stalking and boredom. Granted, I have my own opionions....but i dont post messages about it, i dont take "quizzes" etc.....
So this person I went to college took all of these "opinion" polls and they pop up on my homepage...first off , i had when people take more then one quiz at a time on facebook,becuase it clogs up the status report thingies.....secondly, this perons took all hot button "social issue" quizzes.....
The first one is "I dont agree with assisted suicide" with a huge parargrapg narative....ok, while i dont agree, that one ill give you....
The second one is about "abortion"...now, as everyone probably knows, I am pro-choice.....however, i do not go around advertising that on Facebook, because that is such a hot button issue and not something I wish to discuss on facebook.....well this person (of course) Check "i do not agree with abortion" and then there is another huge paragraph explanation.
The third one was "gay marrige".....and you can only guess that this person is OF COURSE, against gay marriage.
Well, at this point I have had enough and my bleeding liberal heart is bleeding some more....and since I'm a loser, I think the best pay back is to go ahead and click that i am Pro-gay marriage (which I am----they are people just like you and I).....I had just reached my breaking point and played into the "Game"....It just pisses me off because this particular person (who i doubt is reading this blog because a) many of my prior posts are equally offensive, im sure and b) Im pretty positive that I only have 5 regular readers {chris, merry, bourtney erica and amy} and 3 occasional other readers {family members} who just read my blog to see if i am being offensive ) was like BEST FRIENDS with a person who was gay in college and, if my memory serves me correctly, even WENT to a gay club with us in college ....and now she is say that shit on facebook?!? WTF!? Its like saying "oh you are my good friend, i love hanging with you, your so fun...but i dont think you deserve that same rights as me, becuase i am a conservative straight christan and am more entitled to basic human rights then you are because i am better because I was born genetically pre-determined to like people of the opposite sex"...blah blah blah...I am actually really proud of myself because i didnt post a smart-ass comment on her facebook site or a smart ass comment as my status...like anyone really cares, because im sure they dont....but STILL!!
ok, so i guess this rant makes no sense to any one but me, and if i have offended any one, i dont really give a flying fuck. I do oddly feel better though...hmmm....ok, enough "politics" for awhile...back to talking about the weather!
