how people can fight so hard to support a freaking fast food resturant, and spend crazy amounts of money to do so, but they can't do something REALLY good and donate that same amount of money to a food bank, or clothing bank, or homeless shelter. They'd rather go spend that money to buy a chicken sandwich (or whatever else they want to buy, IDK, and don't care) because, in their tiny little minds, they actually think it's gonna accomplish something in the actual battle. That doesn't make sense to me.
There are a BILLION other things that need support, and are actually worth talking about.
And a few that I'd rather hear about, lol. Like, amidst all this chicl-fil-a bs, and the sexuality debate, where'd all the doomsday people go? Come on now. Is the world still coming to an end or not?
Or what did the presidential forerunners say this week to piss someone off? Cause I haven't heard anything. (not that I actually care, or really pay attention, but still) It's gotta be more interesting than
"this many people protested outside so and so resturant today, while there was a line out the door and around the building in support" Really?
I. DO. NOT. CARE!
But you can't say that. OH NO! Because it's just fine if you pick a side and have something negative to say about the other side. But it's not ok, not at all, to say you're tired of hearing about it. UGH!
You scream and yell and fight ONLINE, where you're forecing people who just don't wanna hear about it to listen to all the petty bullshit. If you really wanna get something done, stop fighting online and start actually taking action. It's petty, and annoying, and boring.
I'm not deleting anybody. That's just stupid. That's just as bad as fighting with them, because it's telling them that I think they are wrong and I'm right, and there's nothing they can say or do that will make it better. That's now how i feel at all. I mean, I have my beliefs, my opinions, etc. I truly understand where most of these people are coming from. But I just don't wanna force people to have to listen to it. If you wanna know, just ask. I'll answer your questions. But if you don't, I respect that too. I just wish people would do the same thing for me. But nope. So instead, I will just hide said posts, and pay attention to the things that actually matter.
But, if it escalates much further, I will just delete the facebook and start over. It's not worth it to me to have to listen to all the drama and bullshit every single day. I have my own things to worry about - Like keeping a damn roof over my head and clothes on my girls backs and food in our stomachs.
In a few months, when this has all blown over (and if it hasn't blown over by then, I'm going to SCREAM!) and everyone has gone their seperate ways they are gonna feel pretty damn stupid for dragging it out and taking it as far as it's gone. It will be just like the womans rights protests, or the protests and boycots of integration, etc. When they look back on things like that, they feel pretty stupid. When the debate on sexuality finally reaches a conclusion - whatever that might be - the other side will feel pretty damn stupid.
Truth be told, it's nobodies business what you do behind closed doors. I don't care if you sleep with a man or a woman, a black guy, or a white woman, etc. That's your own private personal business. It's what you do in public...Who you are and how good a person you are when the world can see you.... that i really care about. If you're a good person, and help people, and make the world a better place, what does it really matter?
Yeah, the Bible says this, or the Bible says that, etc. But are you GOD? Yeah, didn't think so. And GOD is the only one that needs to make those judgements. Because we may have our beliefs about what happens after we die, and what our actions on earth will do, etc, but until we are actually dead and find out what happens next, we can't be sure. So WHY on EARTH do you want to go around causing hate and dragging it all out? Seriously. What's the point? Please, please, explain it to me in a LOGICAL way. I may be an emotional person, and I do get stirred up about things I'm passionate about, but I do not understand - Emotional or not - Why you'd want to stir up so much hate. Responding to every single thing that's said on the subject with something hateful or mean is just fueling the fire on the other side. If we could all just agree to disagree, the world would be a better place and we'd all be happier. I know, I know, Wishful thinking. It's never going to happen in our lifetimes.
But a girl can dream. And sometimes, that's all we have at the end of the day.
For now, i'm going to go hug my daughters, change into my pjs, turn on something to put me to sleep, and crash out. I'm going to focus on the actual IMPORTANT things in my life - Like my amazing friends and wonderful family. I'm going to remember that everyone has an opinion, and they are entitled to that opinion, and some think it's their right to voice said opinion CONSTANTLY. That doesn't make them a bad person. Just makes them a little slow to the ballgame, lol. I don't know if people can see when I hide a story off my facebook home wall - But if you can don't be surprised if every single Chic-Fil-A post is taken off, and any other hateful religious, sexual, political, or otherwise heated topic is removed from my page. I'm not on there to fight with people. I'm on there to keep in touch with the ones I can't see on an every day basis. And I don't need to add drama and hate to that mix. I want to make it a happy time. So yeah. I just hide the posts and read only what isn't fueled by hate and ignorant people spewing things they don't truly understand.
Goodnight everyone. I hope I don't offend anybody, cause that's not the intention. Just need to get it off my chest in a place where nobody is going to come up and scream at me for having an opinion.
LATERS!
