It seems women weren't the only thing you were hitting on...
She Absolutely despises Guns, Free Markets, Thinks George BOOSH was Beelzebub, and just can't get enough of Ubama's programs.
I tell her that a Ubama policies leads to the Same Place that she grew up starving and fleeing in Germany in the 1940's. But is thick as brick when it comes to that.
A Rich, 78 Year Old, Jewish Land Renter isn't high on Ubama's list of people to please.
That wench has to have been whacked with whatever is dumber than a fence post and is in serious need of being whacked with a Clue by Four to bring back to reality.
She’ll still be a Looser Loser and unworthy of a hit from the Laz.
This is why FR is so valuable....it gives me a chance to vent off steam in a way I cannot do with the people around me.
On FB, I keep things lite, generally just commenting on sports and stuff like that.....it’s just not the right place for politics.
Facebook is a wasteland. I NEVER post anything personal: I post ONLY political stuff. I could give two hoots if anyone “defriends” me because of my beliefs. They weren’t real friends to begin with, and quite frankly, I’ve grown to the point in my life where I neither have to nor will in fact tolerate fools, so I say good riddance. Life is way too short to surround oneself with fools when there’s plenty of other great people around who are worth associating with.
I have only a very few friends left from former lifetimes who I’m willing to tolerate enough to still occasionally associate with. I never discuss politics with them and if they try to after warning them not to, I simply do an about-face and leave the room without saying a word. It’s surprising how effective such a tactic is. After about the third time, it never happens again.
In the mean time, I continue to develop new friendships; people who I have much in common with, people who are intelligent, thoughtful, objective, and who are in continuously-learning mode. People who can have rational discussions about a myriad of subjects. People who have something to offer me and to whom I have something to offer in return.
I tend not to form close relationships with leftards; it just isn’t that fun to hang around with people who make a political issue of everything.
But there was someone I added on FB for gaming purposes. She put up something about Earth Hour and as a joke (well, somewhat) I commented: “Know another good way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions? Stop breathing.”
She responded with a nastygram via private message and unfriended me.
Don’t let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya, and furthermore, it ain’t MY problem that you can’t take a joke.
I’ll be your friend on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays since I’m busy on the other days
Still, there are a lot of folks we have to deal with from time to time whose political ideology has so totally permeated their lives they are incapable of normal relations.
To be honest, I know several more members of my large immediate family are more conservative than my father, much more really. Truth is, they would probably consider themselves moderate Republicans, but there is this visceral hate for Republicans that keeps them from admitting it.
Its just kinda tough maintaining relationships when you differ so much on politics, and when one or more parties is unable to tone down the rhetoric. It it wasn't family, I wouldn't bother dealing with it.
My condolences, but on the other hand, good riddance.
Now what would she want in her new constitution?? I bet she would like Gay marriage, the age of consent to be 1 day old, Socialism and all the founders that buildings (or towns) are named after renamed.
I bet she wants a tax rate on corperations at 99.999% and the rich at 99.9999%.
Am I correct??
De-friended by a liberal is a badge of honor, especially since you gave her several outs to keep it friendly.
I lost my lifetime best bud over the election debacle of 2000. Oh well, I now have nothing to do with libs of any flavor; envirowackos, abortionist, commies, homos, femmies. Life is too short, and all that stuff.
Liberal friends are good for a few laughs. After that, they become rather boring. Every conversation eventually turns into assessing feelings.
Many years ago I sang in a group - we were all devout Christians and great friends. I just recently reconnected with some of them. They are all conservative - except one has gone absolutely far, far left - to the point where he got involved in the Obama campaign and has true communist songs posted.
I also notice there is no mention of his wife, a very good old friend of mine. But there is a new honey, it seems. And a strong inference that one of their children is gay.
As you stray from truth, your life slowly becomes out of order. It’s not hard and fast, and good people do have problems, but I see it so often. As proverbs says, the blind stumble in the dark, and do not even know what they are falling over...
Don’t fret about losing a worthless acquaintance, Laz. You have more REAL friends here than you can shake a stick at. Hugs!
Something I've noticed over the years is that these guys use the words 'I hate' more than any of my other friends.
It seems women weren't the only thing you were hitting on...
As a fellow former Rochesterian relocated to Atlanta(ish), we’re both observing & living the oft-mentioned bit about the Civil War having pitted former friends against each other due to political geography.
What meaning does friendship have if it is detached from the concept of values? If values of others are the opposite of yours, then they might be acquaintances, but true deep friendship is impossible with them.When one evaluates the moral character of others, one responds emotionally, feeling esteem and affection for those individuals whose values one shares. The result is the phenomena of affection, admiration, and friendship.
WOOOHOOO Laz!
