This all gets avoided if the kid says, "sir I'm walking to my fathers house."

Great. So people being stalked have a responsibility to tell their stalker where they are going and if they don't, it's justifiable to kill them.Shirley wrote:In a comment to a post a conservative (non-white) college friend made saying the Zimmerman verdict was justice:

Exactly. I'm glad I don't know this guy. Just knowing that someone could not only think that way, but post it for others to read pisses me off. I'm sure he'd feel exactly the same way if a white kid had been shot by an overzealous, armed black man.Jerloma wrote:Great.

Not a ridiculous thing I read, but in the last 2 days at least 3 major Facebook pages that one can like has shared a photo I made for my page and didn't hook my page up with any credit. Now this is completely hypocritical considering I found the pic on Reddit and added text via ROFLBOT, but still. I want my Facebook page to have a bazillion likes dammit! Maybe I'll just have to contact George Takei and ask if he'll share my page or something.
And yes, my life is so stress-less I can bitch about irrelevant, pointless, non money making things like this. Why do you ask?

Re: Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook
One of those suggested pages for me to like is Oregon Planned parenthood Advocates. No doubt a worthy organization. But they posted a link claiming that "the media" has used the Anthony Weiner scandal to demean women:
I am all for planned parenthood, and I tend towards the liberal side of things, but a posting like this makes me think that maybe Rush Limbaugh isn't such an idiot after all...
Ummm... not the media that I've been following. A great example of how people cherrypick in order to stay outraged.After mayoral candidate and former congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) admitted to sending more sexually explicit messages and pictures to strangers on the Internet after resigning from Congress, it didn’t take long for pundits to seize the opportunity to draw conclusions about appropriate female behavior.
From attacking Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, for standing by him, to mocking the sexuality of his latest online mistress, Sydney Leathers, the media has chosen to moralize about the “sex” aspect of Weiner’s current scandal rather than focusing on his deception and infidelity. This choice is ultimately a form of ‘slut-shaming’ — assuming that women who have sexual desires are always immoral or impure, and it’s their responsibility to behave more chastely so they don’t tempt men.

Yeah...I haven't actually seen one media report ever focusing on the hoes. Just Weiner, his ween, and how his wife must feel. That's it.

Re: Ridiculous Things You Read On Facebook
I don't think you want to see a screen shot of it, but I thought this was hilarious. I belong to a FB group called, "You know your are from Grand Junction, Colorado, because...". People who are from my town post old pictures and memories of things of days gone by, so folks can reminisce.
So, recently, one guy (let's call him Joe Smith) posted somethng like, "I can't believe I originated this group x number of years ago for a few friends, and now there are thousands of members of this group posting dozens of times each day. It makes me really proud." He got many kudos and thanks in the comments.
Then, a couple days later, a different person, some woman, posted a REALLY indignant post, saying something like, "I have been boiling mad for a couple days and had to compose myself before posting this. I founded and originated this group, myself with my friend Mary Jones back in month, year. We have been moderating it and guiding it along ever since. I don't know who the hell Joe Smith is, but he did not start this group and shouldn't be taking credit for it!"
So, then, down in the comments to that post, Joe Smith posts, "Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I started a different group with a different name. I guess I got confused on that."

Reminds me when Bill Cross lectured me on how the Tea Party started. His description was different than I had remembered. But my memory had the advantage in that I was actually there.
(At the first Tea Party protest on record, April 2008 in front of Bear Stearns, predating his history. Yes, we called ourselves the Tea Party, and no less than Fox News credited Karl D as one of the founders.)

"God's Army" stuff always made me laugh. I envision it in terms of a Hollywood flick (Braveheart, 300, etc..) and 2 sides completely devoid of humanity are about to throw down on this biblically epic war scene where no one wins and time ends because, duh, it's the apocalypse. It's so pretentious even a hipster would laugh at it.

Random Facebook question:
How many of the people on your friend's list are dead in real life? As of last week, that number went up to 4 for me.
One is a dude I ran a Ragnar Key West with in 2011 that committed suicide. He was 22. Sad, sad stuff. Another is a person I worked with in Arizona that was prior enlisted (and from New England) that got really bad liver cancer due to his years of excessive drinking. Another was a neighbor, a childhood bully in fact, that battled drug abuse from post high school on and was found OD'd on the floor of his parent's house. And the latest is a girl I was with over in Korea who was diagnosed with breast cancer and appeared to be doing well and just suddenly died from, I'm guessing, treatment. She was in week 3 in high spirits one day. Then there's an "In Loving Memory" page created and dedicated to her a couple days later. She was in her mid 20s.

The head cheerleader my senior year of high school was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and had a bad reaction to her very first treatment. She passed away less than a week after the diagnosis. Most people hadn't even heard about her having cancer so it was just a complete blindside.Johnnie wrote: And the latest is a girl I was with over in Korea who was diagnosed with breast cancer and appeared to be doing well and just suddenly died from, I'm guessing, treatment.
