I'm becoming mean.
Edited on Wed Oct-05-05 10:25 AM by redqueen
I used to play nice and if people didn't care about politics, I'd try to win them over subtly over time.

Someone just told me they got pro-Wal Mart propoganda at work (they work for Wal Mart) and when I asked them how much of that they thought wasn't 100% bullshit, they said they didn't know and didn't care.

My response? Fuck off and leave me the hell alone.

I'm sorry... I just can't take it anymore. These intellectually lazy fuckers make me sick. If you're too lazy to think I really want nothing to do with you.

Is that so wrong?

I apologized, btw, for being so harsh. But is it too much to ask that people at least LOOK at what's going on? Don't write letters, don't change your habits... whatthefuckever... but at least ACKNOWLEDGE REALITY!

2. hehe
I see this country turning into a police state... and these lemmings are lining up... as if it's not bad enough that all the gains made in the labor movement are being frittered away through this laziness.

I've had it!

3. No, it's a valid response to what's happened in this country.
There are too many who lust after the 1950's and long to turn this country back to that point.

:hi:

Nice to see ya again. Hope things are goin well for ya. :D

I calmed down and told him if we're to continue to associate, I'm treating his choosing to remain ignorant like a bad addiction... I'll be on his ass constantly to change it.

9. If you're wrong, that makes two of us.
I feel like I'm permanently mad at anyone who doesn't even bother to find out what's going on. They act like I'm crazy and reading all the wrong things! Shit -- my kids are in the Air Force and my sisters voted for * not once, but TWO times. The country has gone to hell in 5 years and they say it doesn't matter who's president.

:banghead:

11. What really bothers me about those types
is how much they pretended to care about politics and information when it was Clinton under the miscroscope.

Now that their boy is fucking up shit beyond anyone's wildest expectations, suddenly they don't care anymore.

:nuke:

13. The thing is I consider this guy a friend.
I think my idea about treating it like a problem and helping him to overcome it is still a good one.

14. Sometimes people just don't want ot get involved.
It makes me crazy sometimes hearing some of my friends spout a bit of ignorance, but I can't force them to get informed. I just tell them they're wrong and why. Sometimes they pay attention, sometimes not.

20. I'm to the point now
that I won't tolerate them not caring.

If they don't care, I don't want to talk to them. I can't handle it. If they do that, then IMO they're part of the problem, and either they change their behavior, or we're no longer friends.

19. I've noticed several of my husbands fellow Democrat friends driving
Mercedes, BMWs, Lexus and wonder what happened?

When did we quit buying American?

The Red Lobster in our town was PROUDLY built with non-union labor - they actually talked about that. So, we've never eaten there. Now I find out that there is a Democrat rally there...WTF?

It's like some have just given up, like some have found it more convenient to be DINOs than continue to fight for the cause.

What's next...supporting republicans because it's easier than having a spine? Oh, whoops, already happening in my town.

:toast: redqueen, I like it that you're mean!
