Apparently on Facebook...
only those who are Christian and/or in the military are allowed to have an opinion.

Just defriended eight people. Enough of that shit.

1. Anyone can have an opinion, but you can get outnumbered easily.
I just dumped an old friend, too, for repeated homophobic posting. Wasn't happy, didn't do it out of revenge, but I realized I couldn't remain silent when he posted that stuff, and he wouldn't stop, so there was no point in us beating each other up.

2. I am soooooo glad
I have resisted using Facebook. Every time I read one of the many posts about it, I have no regrets whatsoever.

4. Meh. That stuff doesn't happen often
And I find it to be better than the Lounge ever was in terms of hilarious threads. I just died laughing at an Apple thread yesterday.
No mods either. People who bash FB, ought to bash the Lounge too.

3. Anyone who spouts that kind of crap
I just hide - and limit my wall posts to be seen only by those I choose.

Avoids all that crap without defriending people.

5. It was from people from high school...
I was done with those people when I graduated in 2000. I don't need them in my life today. So I don't care that I got rid of them anyways.

10. yeah - I have the same situation
people from HS (done with them as of 1990 rather than 2000 in my case)

For now, I'm content to just have nothing to do with them.

11. I just love watching them post patriotic BS
only to get their asses handed to them by people from other countries. :evilgrin:

(and by patriotic BS, I'm talking about the "America is #1 love it or leave it" crap)
