it takes all my self control...

to not lay into some of the idiots on facebook regarding the events surrounding osama's death.

I have honestly typed out three separate responses to some of the most *insane* posts, but have deleted them before hitting enter.  

I just need to keep taking slow, deep breathes.... 

 

sh!t like this really brings out the crazies. 

Re: it takes all my self control...

  • I know what you mean. I'm taking the rest of the afternoon away from the internet. The Bin Laden stuff is only half of it for me, but it's so frustrating.

  • Ditto. It all drives me nuts, and yet.... I can't look away. I have spent the majority of the day bouncing between twitter, fb, news, etc. I have also typed out a buunchhh of stuff, but just delete it.

    One that DID make me giggle...."breaking news, Chuck Norris just returned from his vacation in Pakistan."

    The Chuck Norris jokes crack.me.up and I couldn't help but giggle at 4am when I read that.

  • I have hidden a person here and there from my feed today! At least work is keeping me busy. Tongue Tied  Well.. moderately.. since I'm here.. :P
  • I know. This will pass. My feeling is that people just have to get it out of their systems. But I will de-friend anyone on FB who says something racist. I have no time or energy for that BS.

    Ditto this.  Most of my FB friends are just saying "he's dead" or "yay OBL is gone"

    I had a few friends post a bible verse from Ezekiel, something about not rejoicing in the death of evil....Sorry, but I am kind of happy he's dead.  If we could have brought him to trial, that would have been good too, but really he was a very evil man and I'm kinda glad he's gone.

  • I totally agree.  There are times when I read things that my "friends" post and I just wonder, how did I not know you were such an idiot.  I'm glad that they got him and he deserved to die but sheesh.

  • A lot of the posts on my FB have been truly idiotic, and when I try to mention legitimate concerns about this whole thing and how it's not just a victory but a large concern for security, people jump on me and say I'm not loving Amurricuh enough. And, being the sh1ts stirrer I am on FB, I have readily called them all out on it. I haven't been able to concentrate on studying for my finals at all.
  • Yea, I've been staying off FB too. I just don't have the patience to deal with it.
  • I've got several "friends" that are constantly posting about how they don't believe he's dead - Obama is "this" or Obama is "that" - and how this is all for the election.

    ummmm. okay.

    I've already deleted the racist from my friend list... but there are a few others that are reeeeealllly close to the delete option as well.  I hope pp is right and this will all die down and I can go back to the blissful ignorance that people research and found their ideas on logic and reason. sigh.
