1. I have a lot of people unfriending me on Facebook since yesterday. Too bad. They will miss

some good information.

17. You could have just changed the settings so you couldn't see your posts.

19. However, that can have the unforeseen side-effect

of getting poked by your unseen self.

20. I never made it past

confirming who I am but it doesn't matter I still got so many emails from facebook asking me if I knew first this one person or the other. I finally changed email addresses.

3. Send them a copy of the 14th amendment's equal protection clause.

The 5 SCOTUS justices made the correct interpretation of that amendment. If they don't like the decision, tough shit.

I probably had a few unfriend me but didn't unfriend anyone myself.

7. I only had one person post a negative opinion piece

That is a HS "sistah" and we agree to disagree about politics.

[FLPanhandle]

9. and miss their pain and tears!?!

The one or two I have that posted negative reactions have been quite entertaining for me.

[uppityperson]

11. I just had one pop up with this

" really hope that all of you that put the gay colors across you profile picture knows what it means. Just saying."

They go on to quote new testament stuff, aka "the gay sex be bad".

sigh

12. why?

[liberal N proud]

13. The cap they are posting this week was bad enough, then it got really stupid

All the rhetoric favoring the stars and bars bigots, then the crap following the SCOTUS decision made me realize, I don't need these people.

15. Boy, I'm lucky that 90 percent of my FB friends seem to be pretty liberal.

I have a few who are moderately Republican but don't post much about politics. Then there's that one gun nut RW whack job from high school, but I blocked his posts to keep my blood pressure under control.

16. I find these posts hilarious.

Why do you have facebook friends who have different political views from you?

I don't.

Oh wait, maybe two. But I know them and I care about them. They have the right to post anything they want. As do I.

We stay friends.

But goodness gracious, perhaps you should check your friend list.

[liberal N proud]

18. Maybe I don't ask the people I meet what political presuasion they are

Maybe I see that as closed mindedness. Or maybe they are family.

Happy to see you are lucky that all of your friends are of one political mind and you don't have to worry about what you say at family events.

The world is not perfect but limiting your friendship to only those who vote like you is limiting your life. It could be similar to limiting your friendship to only those of a certain religion or race.

Politics is only a small part of our life!
