Open Mouth Insert Foot

Alright, I'm reading some things that I'm finding serious offensive and what's sad is they're comments on my friend's journals.

I've just now considered defriending the journals with the offending material in them but that wouldn't be fair to the journal owners as they are innocent in this.

I've considered saying something in response to the comments but I don't want to inflict the fall-out bitchfest on my poor friend's journals.

So suffice to say, in my opinion some people need to step back and watch their mouths because they are dangerously close to offending people who are already touchy enough about the election. Or, if they really feel that strongly, they could at least extend everybody the courtesy of keeping their more controversial comments to their own LJ where people who already know they don't agree with their opinions could keep away from material that they find distressing.

A little thoughtfulness people can go a hell of a long way.

Hugs... just BIG hugs from me...

I don't discuss politics for a reason and NO, it's not just because I'm not American (since your government decisions often impacts on other countries if not the world I could, but no) but because 2 things I remembered from being a child and seeing Christmas family parties turn to a carnage...

1- Don't discuss religion;
2- Don't discuss politics.

Both subjects are too emotional and tempers fly and insults are fast and furious and harsh words are used and everybody gets out of this bruised and friendships torn apart.

I've mostly stayed away from all posts today but I've seen a few comments earlier that just proved that... yeah... today is not the day to sprout pro & against rhetoric in other people's LJs. It's too sensitive an issue.

I think I agree with that comment 150%... and then some.

And now back to finances... which won't be helped by the election results. *throws another receipt to the side* Make chinese food, not war. *goes to get take out*
