Warning: this is a rant!
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to offend. If you can't get enough of facebook, then good for you! I'm not attacking facebook, I'm attacking the problems my facebook friends are causing and trying to find a solution.
Now on to the rant...
I used to love facebook because I could keep in touch with friends from all over that generally weren't very good at responding to emails and phone calls. But now it's just gotten freakin ridiculous. I have a plethora of people on there that are pro-gun people, and while I have nothing against gun ownership(in fact I've always wanted to learn to shoot), I do not enjoy having every single thing they talk about turn into a fight for gun rights.
And then there are the military and political people that can't stop posting on everyone's page why their views are the right ones and how everyone else is stupid for believing otherwise. Every time someone posts the opposite opinion they jump on their butt about it. I would have been happy to delete most of those people, but that would have probably ended up being most of my friends list.
So why is it that people who are super nice in real life decide that they can force their opinions on you in a digital format? They are obviously not anonymous on facebook, because I know them personally.
Anyway, I gave up facebook for the MLPTP since people are wayyy way nicer here and respect other people's opinions. But I would like to keep in touch with some of my facebook friends, but I don't know how I should do that since every time I post anything on facebook, they turn it into a political argument and then I get angry and fume for days. I thought these people were my friends. Maybe they are not.
Anyway, thanks for reading this far. I would love to hear your thoughts on the matter. Let me end by saying I really love you guys and the community everyone has created on here.
