God DAMN, liberals make me sick...

Yeah, I post stuff fairly often, too.

Usually if people post something I don't like I just hide the post. I sometimes get some awfully graphic pictures due to my support of protesting animal abuse and fighting kill shelters. *shudder*

I have only unfriended one person from high school because they would post nothing but Reliv shit day and night. I was hiding stuff so much I realized he never said anything else and I can't use the shit and the people pushing it never listen to me, insisting it will cure me instead. He didn't want a friend, he wanted a customer.

I've had to (very politely) let people know that I wouldn't endorse their pyramid scheme by liking the page they put up advertising it.

Click "like," then ask him where you can pick up your concubine.

Yeah, I've got one of those friends who seems like she's just discovered atheism, because half her posts these days is about bashing prayer and those who do prey.

I also can't stand folks who go on and on and on about any one topic, period. A former Target co-worker go into UC Davis last year, and she had at least three posts about the school every day from the day her acceptance letter came til after that pepper-spraying cop from the Occupy protest a few months back made headlines.

Defriended two people. One was a classmate in Oregon. 75% of his posts were bitching about how much he hated his job and left wing liberal stuff. After a year or two he quietly sent me another request. He kept his nose clean for a bit but now he's almost as bad as he was before. The other, maybe 20% of his posts were neat stuff about baseball, going to state fairs, etc. The rest was about how stupid religious people and conservatives are. I quietly defriended him and he sent me an e-mail asking me why. I politely told him I wasn't interested in his political or areligious agendas. He replied that if I couldn't handle his posts, maybe I should defriend him.

To be fair, I have one "friend" who is relentlessly, militantly conservative. In his defense, he ran for Governor and has a talk radio show, so it is kind of his thing. I've got another friend who has a butt-ton of hardcore Christian stuff. But I'm able to filter them out for the most part. Most of the time I'm able to filter my liberal friends as well, but once in awhile they will post something like that that makes me

I don't understand why people think they have to block free speech that they disagree with.

A lot of people here post things that I vehemently disagree with. In some cases, I think what they say is dangerous! But I love to see what they have to say. I love to figure out why they're saying it. Where they're coming from. Once in a while, I even change my mind.

Sadly, people who clamor for "openness" and "tolerance" are often closed and bigoted in their own way.

Thought you were talking about me for a second there.

Yeah. had to block an old friend who posts at least three pre-packaged anti-republican graphics a day, and a relative who keeps posting pictures of some rock star in girly makeup she knows or likes or something.

I don't use FB much anymore. I have a private group with a few good friends, and I still promote stuff I'm involved in, but most of it is just memes, sloganeering and pictures of people's kids. It's turning into MySpace, with about 20% useful content and the rest is just crap.

I don't unfriend people that often, but I have dropped a few people I went to HS with who literally do nothing but yammer about every single thing their kids do. I've also dropped some industry people I know who post endless updates about whatever web series they're working on, or just take dozens of pictures of themselves mugging for their iPhone camera.

Twitter is where it's at for me.

Back on topic...

Yep...it's one of those stores with a misleading name...wanting people to think "everything's a buck!" when it isn't. They are just like Family Dollar here.

Re: Oh, the drama -!

Absolutely not. If I'm good friends with somebody, we've long ago agreed to disagree and focus on the things we have in common/like about each other.

And I can't imagine any circumstance in which I'd (A) attribute one friend's idiosyncracies to an entire demographic and then (B) run to a message board and bitch about it.

On the rare occasion where a friend has gotten up in my face about something, I've backed them off ("Look, I don't think we should talk about X any more") and vice versa. That's how adults do it.

I'm beginning to think this has little to nothing to do with Volpone's Facebook friends. It's just his latest "hook" for bitching about liberals.

There's a lot of back and forth going on in this thread, yet all I seem to hear is...

Good god.

How can any woman think she looks good like that?

She could fly to Guam flapping those lips.
