Your Say

If I'm not mistaken;
Make-work government jobs has nothing to do with qualifications or common sense but more about redistribution.

A new study might find that conservatives just drop out of facebook altogether, citing the insanity of the games, the spam and the people who want to friend you that you don't even know, anyhoo.

I quit Failbook two years ago and haven't missed it for a moment. One of the best decisions I ever made, both in terms of increased productivity and healthier mentality.

Well, in my own case, I'm a conservative who, during the Komen/Planned Parenthood kerfuffle, unfriended eight people.

I found it difficult to tolerate that many people who could go on and on about how great Planned Parenthood is, and who show little respect for the other side. I found their arguments tendentious and manipulative, and I'd just had enough.

The only other time I unfriended someone was when this person came out in favor of Hezbollah, Iranian hostility to the U.S., Palestinian terrorism, gay marriage and abortion in a short period of time. I didn't unfriend him earlier because the posts were usually pretty well spaced out. But one day he went off, and I'd had enough. (Unrelated to the unfriending, he took his wife's last name when he got married.)

So that's my story. There is a lot of liberal hostility to conservatives and Republicans, and I have to listen to it all the time. Just yesterday a co-worker was going on and on about how the South should be expelled so they can learn to pay their own bills, and so they can create a racist theocracy.

I always thought educated people can state, correctly, the other side's point of view. It's childish to think, in most cases, someone disagrees with you because they're bigoted and ignorant.

Before I dropped Facebook for it's mind-numbing banality, I thought of my page as part of my personal space, and my friends as invited guests.If someone called me a "Republican shithead" in my dining room during a dinner party, I'd show them the door, as I did with numerous Facebook friends. I don't see that as intolerance.

maryina Posted on pues en realidad esto no es un mito es algo real muy dfiicil de distinguir , las persoas que realizan estas actividades son personas que tienen una enfermedad psicosexual que los mismos doctores es dfiicil de tratar ya que el paciente se encuentra en un estado que nada lo satisface y que cree que es lo correcto para, dejar ello el paciente en primer lugar tiene que darse cuenta de que es algo fuera d elo comun sus preferencias y necesita un tratamiento es muy dfiicil y pocas personas logran resultados, algunos medicos comentan que el nombre que se les da eso solo alo cientifico y algunos opinan que son deprabados enfermos o etc. en este caso y ami punto de vista yo no comparto este gusto pero entiendo que hay personas que tienen gustos diferentes se merecen respeto como prsona pero ellos tambien deben respetos hacia nosotro y si alguna persona se encuentra interesada en cambiar lo mejor es hacercarse a un psicologo para tratar su caso para indentificar de donde o cual es la razon o el problema de ello, asi que ya saben chicos respeto ante todo porque somo seres humanos.
