Re: Unpopular Opinion Thursday
Did I miss the explaination about this? Is it like the vent Thursday?
Anyways, I guess my unpopular opinion would be I dislike all the political adds and don't pay attention to them.
My Blog
yeah its pretty much like the vent thread used to be but its not necessarily personal stuff.
I could not agree with this more!! I can't wait for the election season to be over. Don't get me wrong, I believe in voting with an informed decision but I could care less about the mud slinging that happens in the commercials...just tell me your opinion and what you will do and be done!!
My Blog
I am SO SICK of my friends' political posts. I'm about to go on a massive defriending spree. It's one thing to post something you think people should know, but there are a couple "friends" that post things that aren't even grammatically correct, not to mention that they usually just don't have any logical basis!
On another facebook related note: I am sick of the Causes application. My mother is obsesssssed with it, and she constantly posts ridiculous petitions and other stupid things on my wall. No mom, I do not need to take a pledge through Causes that I will remember the events of September 11th. HOW COULD I FORGET?! How would a taking a pledge help me remember?! And then when I bring it up to her that she needs to stop the ridiculousness she gets all righteous about whatever it is that she posted and how I'm an insensitive person for not supporting it. It isn't that I don't support the actual issues, it's that pledging to do something on Causes doesn't actually make ONE BIT of a difference.
What did she do that was stupid again?
My Blog
She's the girl that fell while zip lining then got the flesh-eating bacteria and lost her leg and both hands.
The part the news stories seem to leave out any more is that it was a rigged up, homemade zipline in someone's backyard - it did not happen at a professional place.
interesting. this is the first I heard it wasn't at a professtional zipline place. I just assumed it was.
This is from the AJC (link at end):
"On May 1, Aimee just wanted to relax. Her finals were done and she was gearing up to start working on her thesis. She and a couple girlfriends spent that Tuesday afternoon outside and, according to friends, went to a buddy?s home near the Little Tallapoosa River.
The friend?s yard included a homemade zip line, common around the area. Each of the women made a run on the line, riding out to the middle of the stream and dropping to an area where the water is about six feet deep. The line was attached to a low bluff, rising perhaps six feet above the rocky bank.
Aimee grabbed hold for her second ride. About three feet out from the bank, the line snapped and she fell, hitting a rock on the bank of the stream below."

I so agree with the political posts! It's super important to be informed but I don't care to hear what everyone else thinks.
My unpopular opinion has to do with Facebook, too. I hate when people overshare! I haven't seen this one girl that I graduated with since high school and I know that she has a baby with a deadbeat dad, she found the man of her dreams, they got married, had another baby, he's amazing and she needs to tell everyone about it, and now she's had a miscarriage. Why does she feel like she needs to broadcast all of that on Facebook?!
