Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
See I like Spencer Reid, but nsm MGG. MGG is super attractive physically, but after following him on social media I don't find him attractive anymore.
Add me to the list of people who've gotten roped into Confederate flag debates.
Now that Mayor Landrieu has started talking about taking down the statues of Lee and Davis, Facebook has exploded exponentially for me.
Yeah, the latest thing was someone asking me if I also supported that. I said yes, and he accused me of wanting to destroy all history.
I am going through and hiding posts like crazy. And unfollowing.
History is often times ugly. Statues of people who advocated and fought FOR owning other humans? Pretty damn ugly. Hitler built nice roads. I am sure Pol Pot could dance nice or something. Go advocate for their statues. Stupid people are stupid.
I was quite dismayed to realize Hitler had quite a nice speaking voice. All the footage I'd ever seen had been him ranting at the climax of the rallies. But it's not something you can easily say to people.
"Hitler built nice roads" - is my go to "shut up defending that" or "me criticizing this thing does not mean it has no redeeming qualities, stop being an absolutist".
"I want to be taller" is my go to "you can't always get what you want".
Both generally either annoy people into leaving me alone or shut them up.
I've completely disengaged. Between the rampant racism and defense of a flag they never fought for in southcentral PA--WHICH WAS PART OF THE UNION if you didn't pick up on that earlier--and the victim-shaming in a local DV case which was supposed to be a double murder-suicide, but the estranged wife has survived so far, I've lost my faith in humanity. The batshit crazy husband and a male friend didn't. If I try and engage, I am called a libtard, Obama-lover, a kid (when I pointed out that was a fantastic compliment since I'm 41, she responded that I have a childlike mind instead). It raises my blood pressure, stresses me out, and makes me angry. I have to gird my loins to do battle. Right now, I'm battle-weary.
