Adoption. As an adopted child myself, I think it is cowardly and chicken shit to create a child, birth a child, then pass along your parental responsibilities to other people. Esp. strangers. Delegation duties should not relate to parenthood. So you're not really against adopton. You are really against people being irresponsible with procriation.

Gay Marriage. I am 45 and in my time, seeing two people of the same gender kiss was unheard of. I have gay friends and I hope with time they will help me open up my mind about equality. I guess I just am to accustomed to the definition of marriage being between a man and a woman. I need time to understand this definition being changed. I hope I can honestly feel this is a right that EVERYONE should be able to enjoy in our country. At 45, I guess I am just too set in my ways. Pray for me. LOL. You're only 45 and are using the phrase "in my time". Dear Lord I'm 41 and have seen gay couples and have know gay people since college. You sound like you're 80.45 is a bit early to be "set in your ways"

Illegal Immigrants who come into this country, give birth, then have children who are U.S. Citizens which allows them to collect Welfare, Food Stamps, WIC, Medicaid and Section 8. If you come into this country illegally, then come to work. Not to have an anchor baby, get on social services then use your child as a bargaining chip for not getting deported.

Republicans.
I don't think I need to explain that one. So funny, because I would have thought you were a Republican


As I always thought, Democrats are ignorant. Republican here and I'm very pro-gay marriage, pro-adoption, pre-environment... But completely anti-Democrat, anti-Obama, anti-entitlements

23:55 seemed like a republican to me- too.

As tor the anti-marathon-dad poster.....I think that it is not selfish if them to follow their interests- life does not stop when you become a parent. My brothers and dad have run several marathon's between them and they are all devoted to their children.

I'm curious why so many people are opposed to veganism and not vegetarianism. Do you find that vegans tend to be more self-righteous about their views?

Gay marriage
I understand support concept of civil union for homosexuals and rights that go along with it like visiting in hospital, etc
But why call it marriage?
Speaking as someone who was married unhappily I want to say to some people
Did homosexual really want a fight for rights to be just as miserable as many hetrosexual people

Here's a post from someone who's a vegan, on Facebook.
The woman is in her 30s, child-hating, and cat-crazy.

"What do you do with a waiter who, after you ordered the only thing on the menu, the vegan dumpligs, being also the ONLY person in a restaurant, serves you PORK dumplings and then after you made one bite and, terrified, asked what it was tells you: "pork". What can you do, besides running to a bathroom and puking your guts out, while screaming and crying in agonizing hysteria, and after an hour of brushing your teeth STILL feeling the taste of dead animal in your mouth?!?
This day turned out to be a complete epitomy of horror, shock, pain, betrayal and vomit for me. I'm off to bed. Please no phone calls today."

I dunno what you do. Shoot the waiter, I guess.

No! Better bite him to get rid of the taste

I oppose parent participation preschools- the point for me is to get a break, otherwise I would teach the kid myself and let him socialize at the playground!

I also oppose holiday traditions which just mean extra hassle for me- I have to buy and decorate the freaking Christmas tree or take my kid trick or treating trying not to let him eat the gross candy, ugh

Spending tons of money on pets; advanced medical care like ultrasound- for a freaking cat? Come on.

CIO, I think it is worse than occasional slapping in irritation

Gay men being overly dramatic in public

People who have multiple kids yet choose to work full time and exercise "conveyor parenting" with sleep training, full time daycare for infants and toddlers, etc. Ok, after having one you may realize you don't enjoy being with your kid that much, but why have others?

Vegetarians- I think they are pretentious

Large dogs in urban settings

Name one that isn't.


Unitarian Universalism

Ethical Culture

I'm not Christian but I think the United Church of Christ is pretty forward thinking.


These are people who just don't have the balls to be atheists. I have never heard of the other two.

Religion is antiquated. I have no idea why people still do it. It is like they cannot deal with the fact that there is no meaning to life, no one is in charge, and there is no reward for being a good person or no punishment for being a bad person. All religion is full of hatred for women. All!


No, all religions don't hate women. Second, I love how you think you KNOW the truth about "no meaning to life" etc while those who disagree just have an opinion.


Ok then believe in your Jewish zombie. I don't care. Women don't have equal standing in religion. But continue your hatred of "non-believers" or people who believe in another god other than yours.


I never said anything about hating anyone. I don't hate "non-believers." Most of my friends, including my two closest friends, are atheists or follow a completely different religion than I do. What I am criticizing is your assuredness that you are right, religion is wrong, and it's fine to throw around insults and false generalizations (hatred of women in ALL religions? Really?) about the opposing viewpoints and those who hold them.

"No phone calls. Just comment on this status about the most 'terrible' thing thats ever happened to me!"
Hate dramatic FB posts...losers


Being a vegan doesn't account for that level of crazy. I was a vegan for years and once accidentally ate a chicken burger that was mislabeled as a veggie chicken burger. I would rather have not eaten it, but I didn't barf or whatever. I think I mentioned to the manager that it was mislabeled (it was at a cafeteria) once I realized the mistake but that was it. Even as a vegan, I knew I had to live in the world, and sometimes that means accidentally eating something I'd rather not eat.


+1

And my dad became a vegan after suffering some serious health complications. He is much healthier now and won't ever go back, but when he accidentally gets a bite of meat he's more excited than disgusted. I hate to think so many sweeping generalizations about vegans are being applied to people who turned to it for the health benefits.
