Hoo boy. Tonight is not the night to have a discussion with one of your conservative FB friends ....


....... Fox News talking point after Fox News talking point about the Michael Brown case. So willfully ignorant.

I had to delete the thread I started because reading it pissed me off so badly.

I'm staying on DU and the FIFA 15 subreddit. You don't need that shit when you know you're on the right side of history.

I don't associate with people actively seeking to destroy the country, hell even the planet with their stupidity.

Almost none of the whackos has responded to that.

I have Facebook with over 600 so I can only imagine. I will not go to Facebook until Thanksgiving Day. Sorry to those who have birthdays the next few days. No post from me. I am only going to DU for at least a week. Oh on Thanksgiving, I will quickly open Facebook and type "Happy Thanksgiving to friends and family." I will post and bale. I can look at it again in a week and see the numerous turkey dinners proudly displayed throughout the pages. Lol.

ZERO conservatives on my Friends list discussing this matter; maybe they're watching Fox. Few liberals posting as well, which is very odd.

I've either unfriended anyone who expresses such viewpoints or hidden their postings if they are relatives.

You can do that, too.
