Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook

I can't even find it in the group. Can someone post/pm a link?

And yes, ReDave, the Korean art joke was a killer.

I really don't think it is, having lived it real time... It was pretty confusing, even though I went from being sort of involved to eventually having the whole He Who Shall Not be Named saga slowly push me away from the site. But I'd still interact with the Facebook group. It was just hard to keep up (and would be very difficult if not impossible now) because people are posting responses to things that were happening in The Swamp.

To sum it up, there are a bunch of people lamenting the fact that a dude with admin rights was threatening to (and eventually carrying out) bans on people he didn't like. Some folks defending or more accurately trying to reason with folks not to escalate or engage with that guy. Then the guy eventually gave up this admin rights and proceeded to troll his way into his own ban. And the people rejoiced. (And some even came back to the site.)

It all started in a thread in reaction to the Boston Marathon bombing.

Oh I remember it quite well. I also left for a bit after that during that time. No one can forget false claims of internet thuggery. Did anyone ever give him their home address so he could come kick their ass like he said he would?

That was...interesting? Missed that when I joined FB (and that group) last year.

Saw this tripe on FB today.

some guy I don't know, on Facebook wrote:Time is like a river. You cannot touch the water twice,
because the flow that has passed will never pass again.
Franklin Graham was speaking at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida in January, 2015, when he said America will not come back. He wrote:
The American dream ended on November 6th, 2012 in Ohio. The second term of Barack Obama has been the final nail in the coffin for the legacy of the white Christian males who discovered, explored, pioneered, settled and developed the greatest republic in the history of mankind.
A coalition of blacks, Latinos, feminists, gays,government workers, union members, environmental extremists, the media, Hollywood, uninformed young people, the "forever needy," the chronically unemployed, illegal aliens and other "fellow travelers"
have ended Norman Rockwell's America.
You will never again out-vote these people. It will take individual acts of defiance and massive displays of civil disobedience to get back the rights we have allowed them to take away. It will take zealots, not moderates and shy, not reach-across-the-aisle RINOs to right this ship and restore our beloved country to its former status.
People like me are completely politically irrelevant, and I will probably never again be able to legally comment on or concern myself with the aforementioned coalition which has surrendered our culture, our heritage and our traditions without a shot being fired.
The cocker spaniel is off the front porch, the pit bull is in the back yard. The American Constitution has been replaced with Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and the likes of Chicago shyster David Axelrod along with international socialist George Soros have been pulling the strings on their beige puppet have brought us Act 2 of the New World Order.
The curtain will come down but the damage has been done, the story has been told.
Those who come after us will once again have to risk their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to bring back the Republic that this generation has timidly frittered away due to white guilt and political correctness...

Soros is a pretty shitty socialist considering he's worth billions.

It sounds like that quote is misattributed to Graham. He did speak at a Pastor's Conference and said that America is "not coming back," but the rest of that quote was written by someone else, inspired by Graham.

Don't bother. I finally watched it after it appeared in my feed for the fifth time. Just a loud, annoying woman cacking because the mask makes Chewie's sound.

I know. Between this Hiroshima visit (HOW COULD YOU DO THIS DURING MEMORIAL DAY!) and the annual outage of military members and their guilt trips for civilians (REMEMBER WHY YOU HAVE A HOLIDAY, CIVILIAN. IT'S NOT FOR BBQs AND BEER!) And this weekend has been a windfall for indignation everywhere.

I'll defer to your experience, but from what I've seen it seems like 90% of rants like this come not from actual military people but from self-appointed civilian "advocates for the troops."

Must be a very diverse mix then. Most of the people I know are or have served. And then it doesn't shock me that someone with tangential ties to the military woulda also hop on the train.

Other than Johnnie's posts, and posts Johnnie commented on that popped up in my feed, I only saw two Memorial Day is about fallen soldier posts, and neither of them were remotely preachy or chastising. My only active military FB friends are Johnnie and my cousin who is in the Air Force. I can only think of 3 former military FB friends, Fritz being one of them.

One of Hood's friends just said this to TT...

And then may or may not have subtly blamed him for slavery...

We learned violence from the Master. #Slavery

Was that the dude who got pissed off about the joking in the gorilla post? If so, I think someone has reached the limits of his cynicism.

Sat next to a very successful local butcher today and usually this would cause me to bristle up bracing for the possibility of a "YEAH BUT BACON!" comment or other harassment I usually encounter but it was a long and friendly conversation that ended with him saying, "Yeah. Americans eat WAY too much meat. I only do once a day but I mostly eat plants. Actually, I go through one of those giant mixed greens packages a day and I love mushroom stir-fry. I think I could go vegan but I'd have a hard time giving up eggs. Animal agriculture is seriously destroying the environment and is a waste of water." He then told me he had an excellent vegan hollandaise sauce lately and asked me for advice on making veggie burgers from scratch. Never would I have ever thought a conversation with a butcher would go that way but it really goes to show that sometimes people can turn out to be decent as all hell and you really never know so you might as well speak from the heart and stand by your values and passion and people can surprise you with being receptive and respectful.

Yeah, he's just trying to get in your pants.

And in context, the "But best of luck to your Black girlfriend" comment was pretty funny.

Watermelon is tolerable but I'm not really a fan of it. Cantaloupe and honeydew taste like something you are not supposed to eat that has just had a bunch of sugar added to it.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Mon Jun 06, 2016 11:56 am

I was listening to Huey Lewis and the News' "I Want A New Drug" and it occurred to me that he's wrong. We don't need a new drug. We have one that gives you highs and lows. Makes you feel ecstatic and depressed. Gives you complete happiness or downright despair. It is called LOVE. Love is the greatest emotion we can feel. It may not always bring us joy but when we find it there is no other feeling like it in the world.

Ummm...isn't that like the exact point of the fucking song?

MSNBC and the Left. THIS IS NOT A GUN CONTROL ISSUE.
This guy was on the FBI watch list.
This tragedy needs to be dissected and find out how we dropped the ball yet again. In a free society shit is gonna happen. But Mr Pres it's time for you to wake up and say these words , RADICAL ISLAM IS REAL.
Not saying the words isn't going to make the problem go away.

Can anyone explain to me how exactly allowing someone on the FBI Watch List, who was friends with a suicide bomber, to purchase two assault rifles with no problem whatsoever, not a gun control issue?

If you're looking for a shirt that might make Christians and Muslims murder you, that's a winner (I think it's funny also but I'll let you wear it in public.)

Is the pendulum in this country ready to swing back to the RIGHT??? The tragedy in #ORLANDO and domestic terror is a winning issue for is a WINNING ISSUE for Donald J. Trump...Terror attacks under a Hilary regime will no doubt increase in scale, number, and frequency.

Yes, we must swing to the Right in order to protect the gays.
