OK...while sitting here at the computer staring at one of my friends Facebook post....I have gotten angrier & angrier....to the point of actually wanting to yell racial slurs at this one "out of touch" person who was "correcting" my friend. Now I am ONLY racist when I need to be. And THIS brings me to the POINT of this whole thing. My friend was posting her OPINION concerning the current President & the whole US Government Shutdown thing. AGAIN...it was her OPINION on it...she even prefaced it by saying that she didn't mean to upset anyone or make anyone mad. As soon as I read her post...I thought "AMEN SISTER" becuase she was spot on with her opinion, then there were a few comments in agreement with her opinion...and BAM here was some guy posting his Democratic bullshit...about how she was not right etc, etc. And then some literally ignorant girl joins in as well as another fellow....the last 2 being black. The black girl does the obvious....twists it into a RACIAL issue. So I did the next best thing....turned off Facebook...to keep me from saying something that I shouldn't.
Opinions are just that...a view that a certain individual has concerning something. YES, it can be argued that some opinions are a much better representation of the truth based on facts or historical information. While, other opinions are clearly nothing short of ignorant & misguided. The problem is that even opinions based on fact & historical info can be "torn arpart" by someone who does NOT share the same view as you. No matter how much you argue or "prove" that your opinion is correct...99% of the time you will fail to change the other's views...so why even bother.
That is one of the BIGGEST problems with Social Media....you cannot even state your OWN opinion on your OWN page without some of your supposed friends & aquaintences doing their best to "correct" you. It's an OPINION. You cannot correct an OPINION. The best you can do is either agree or disagree...NOT write an entire short story as to how your "friend" is wrong. GO FIGURE...It just shows how STUPID & IGNORANT people REALLY ARE!!!! On my page...when I post my views & opinions on things...if I see someone attempting to correct me...most times I don't delete them or their comment or even my post (like some of my friends)...I simply IGNORE their comment...it's sometimes BEST this way...I do it to simply save time...because ultimately it will evolve into some nasty & hateful thread....and there's NO need for that to occur. So I basically tell myself how stupid the person who attempts to "correct" me is & go on about my business. NOW depending on my mood...I reserve the right to argue, which is known to happen on occasion.
And this SHOULD go for your other friends & aquaintenances as well...BE COURTEOUS...if you agree...then show your support...if you do not...then SHUT IT & just don't say anything at all!!!
just something to ponder until next time...bondo
