I am so incredibly done with stupid people.
I am an outspoken, opinionated woman. Why does that make me a bitch? Why does that make me mean? Why can't people have a goddamned discussion these days without getting all torqued up when someone offers a different point of view? Adult discussions consist of just that, various viewpoints on various subjects. An adult can have a discussion with someone that doesn't agree with them and they can still be friends at the end of the day. That's called maturity. It's utterly ridiculous to become catty and hateful with someone just because they don't agree with you. I might call someone out on something or argue to the death about something, but in the long run, I still respect other peoples' opinions if they have any merit to them at all. Now, if they're just being an asshat and their opinion isn't based on any kind of reality or make any kind of sense, then no, I probably won't respect those that are arguing just for the sake of arguing. I'm just tired of people being called mean and insensitive just because they are opinionated. Are people seriously just eternally stuck in 8th grade? God, please take away the stupid people.

Well, it could be the manner in which you state you opinion can offend people. Now, you and I have a habit of calling people stupid and other miscellaneous names, and you have to understand that sometimes the terms we use offend people. And when people get ofended they become defensive. And guess what, they are going to name call us back. It's just something we bitches have to deal with.
While that may be true in some cases, I'm pretty good at taking it back when I dish it out. It's when I don't dish it out and I still get called a bitch that pisses me off. If I simply disagree with someone, that alone does not warrant name calling. Actually, being called a bitch usually doesn't bother me, but if it's unwarranted it does.
I agree completely! - emmainfiniti
F'em if they can't take a joke!
Amen, sister. You're preachin' to the choir. :)
It's like people think that you MUST think as they think.
Asshats.
hehehe
You stopped by blog to get me to the shiity blog forums. I have gone and tried to register at the forums..i have tried about 4 times to register and i keep getting the message" spambot registration attempt!" I am trying to get to the forums. I just can't get it. Can you pass that one to a moderator for me. I can't register. I have not forgotten about the SBC! Stand up and be shitty! Hodgepodger
You're being much too gracious. Lots are eternally stuck in 7th grade or lower.
Hey there! I agree with you. Completely. I have actually lost friendships, well only one really, over petty shortsightedness. I had a friend who was rather conservative, not even extreme in her views, but definitely extreme in her righteousness, and she couldn't stand that I saw things differently. We'd been friends for fifteen years. That really hurt. Why can't people accept differences of opinion? And who's a bitch? Men that are assertive do not get called names constantly! I am NOT a bitch, and have always been annoyed with the idea that I should just embrace the title. Sure, if it were true, but I'm not. I'm considerate, thoughtful, and respectful; I'm also not a doormat, have my own opinions, and feel I have a right to share them. So Amen, as usual, to you!
