She couldn't name one newspaper she read and had to be fed lines. Did you also know that you or me can run for president. Anyone can run.

Are you a former governor? Of the biggest state in the U.S.? (I said biggest.)

Did you ever win a presidential primary?

Did you ever write a best seller?

Do you believe you could accomplish any of these things in your lifetime?

NO, so STFU. You cannot. THE END.

Ok. She did not win a presidential primary or run in any presidential primary. She was selected as a running mate by the winner of the Republican presidential primaries. Nor did she write any bestsellers. She had a ghostwriter.

Exactly.

I can also be friends with pretty much anyone - even Republicans! - but I find it challenging to hang out with the following:
- people who talk about themselves for 5 hours straight
- the same people who can't shut up, go on and on about things they ask for your advice about changing, but never do
- people who aren't active. I can't go out for a 2-hr dinner then sit in front of the TV. I mean I CAN, but it's hard.
- people who are on their smart phones when we are at dinner. Um, no.
- people who only according to their ad hoc schedule because work comes first and they can't 'commit' to meeting at a certain time. I see you once every 3 months, why can't you leave by 7pm for ONE night?
- people who give up their own identity and lives because they let their spouses do what they want, and they pick up the slack in terms of childcare and running the home. Oh, Johnny can train for a marathon, play a team sport, and work late a lot, but we have to plan months in advance for a day to get together because of HIS schedule?
- people who judge my parenting or make statements like 'MY toddler will NEVER act out in a restaurant' when they DON'T HAVE KIDS (or, they have one very easy kid)

Unlike a few pp's I can be friends with people who smoke. I can't be friends with people who do drugs or get wasted all the time and expect me to help get them together. Your ass is drunk, not mine, so no, I am not going to hold your hair so you can throwup or stay out til 4a.m.

I can't be friends with people who can't focus, and who depend on others too much. They tend to think that they are the only ones with problems. Maybe others have problems that come out in other ways (such as things that seem trivial to you, but if the roles were reversed - well then!). Also people who regularly make a big deal out of little things and try to minimize the big things.

I say I dislike judgmental people because they seem to be the ones expecting handouts or trying to count others pennies. They seem hypocritical to me. They need to do for themselves.

I tend to avoid people who do not realize what life is about. They don't know how to embrace the moment, or truly enjoy life. They have never felt significant losses or sacrifices and somehow feel entitled. No one owes you anything. Ever.

Ick.

I really wish I had friends, so I could answer...but apparently I do things that people don't like, since I don't have any...

I am closer to people who I grew up with. I never really had much in common with people here. They seem too willing to try to take the next person down based on their own insecurities. It is obnoxious and unappealing behavior.

ITA PP re: animals. If people don't like animals, they probably don't like people!

[Anonymous]

people who waste too much time watching tv and rarely get out and about and actually DO something with their own lives, rather than watching some fictional (or nonfictional) rendition of real life on the boob tube. we live in the nation's capital. no reason to stay inside and watch tv all the time. if I call to ask you what's up, i also don't care to hear how you watched golf, and then it's the cubs game. that's not your life. that's what you are watching on television. get out nda live a life. not only will it be better for you, but then you can have something to talk about other than just tv shows.
