I have very strong opinions about some things. There are things that make me mad, things that make me shake my head and laugh, and things that really don't matter. The latter of these 3 fall under the category of "well hell you ask didn't you".
People I have found want my opinion sometimes and then they get really mad and decide I'm ignorant. Usually this ignorance happens when I don't agree with their point of view. Every knows I'm a facebook junkie. I love the facebook. Its where I get all my news and gossip. I think with out facebook whewww weee. My mama Sue and I would be in some serious trouble. You see I read it and report it and she and I discuss it. That's just the way it goes.
Every time we post we give an opinion! I give opinions without being ask. YOUR WELCOME. It's just me. If you don't like it, well then delete me. I was getting along fine without you before facebook, I'm sure I can survive again without knowing, what your eating, when you are pottying and well who your dating sleeping with or who you just loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee to listen to their music. Now don't get me wrong. I like to read these things. The real issue comes in when you want to pretend you are my Mama and you get on to me or put me down for being stupid and having ignorant opinions that no one else has.
America has lost our ability to debate. We have lost our sense of humor and we are all out to prove we know wayyyyyyyyyyyy more than anyone else in the world on any subject even if we know nothing about it.
Case in point, Yesterday on a web site that I frequent there was a post with a picture of a dog. Now I'm sure someone out there thinks its a very lovely dog. I made the comment that this dog ( yes it was a pit bull and yes i have 2 of them ) was very scary looking. I guess what I should have done was gone all politically correct and said.... Wow! That dog with the big chain around his neck who is so muscular that he looks like he's on a "roid binge" Looks like he could possibly scare someone who is uneducated, scared of pit bulls, and thinks you need to walk them with a logging chain and call them HOMIE. I'm so sorry they have portrayed a dog to look like this. Now lets all hop on the band wagon and educate all the ignorant people who are not as smart as you and I. OH yes and if you want one save your pennies, all you brave children cause they cost thousands and because you are so fricken ignorant and know nothing of what is scary ... well you can't afford it anyway. Then at that time you will have to go to a rescue and just get a dog that is a good fit and might be pretty .. sorry you are stupid, poor, ignorant and can't afford the well bred, large, toothy animal who has to be walked with a logging chain. I guess that is what I should have said.
What I actually said is ... WOW! that dog looks scary. I did not say that the dog looks like he's a vicious killer and that's why some people are afraid of them. No i said that dog looks scary.
When people think of the "pit bull" that is what they think of. Case in point.. my friend Tracy he was worried that my sweet pitties would eat my children's faces off. He got right on his band wagon and started fussing at me and giving his OPINION. Now, did I say oh Tracy you ignorant uneducated human being? No, I did not. I tried to let him know what I knew and forwarded him some research. I did not call him ignorant or stupid. He's not . He's well educated. What I did do was continue to send him pictures and laugh when he made comments about my dog eating my children. I then went on vacation .. you guessed it! We went to his restaurant on a trip through Tennessee. HE SURE ENOUGH DID KISS MY DOG RIGHT ON THE LIPS! Now, is he still afraid of "pit bulls"? Not as much. I don't kid myself that he is going to run right out and grab up a few from the pound and say wooooooooooohooooooooo got me a family dog here. No he's not, he's not because he has see the HOMIES of the world with loggin chains around their neck and a big spike collar and he has reservations. Just as we all would.
I am not an expert on Pit Bull Terriers. I am an expert on my dogs. I have 3 Judge, Sierra and Caleb. Sierra and Caleb being Pit bull terriers or so I'm told. They are the sweetest animals I have ever owned. They snuggle and the give me kisses everyday. They have not eaten my children. They are good dogs and I am a good owner. That is the key.
As for the "they cost thousands", Am I supposed to be impressed that someone would pay thousands for a dog. Ummmm
If you would like a dog any dog, please research and don't depend on the facebook experts with all the opinions to educate you. Talk to rescues and read and read and if you want a pittie baby call Lisa Durden I can give you her email. I have found that folks who spout all about their vast knowledge really really are just spouting. If they aren't well we tend to shut our ears after the first 5 post when they are letting us know how ignorant we really are.
There are lots of things I don't agree with folks on. That's why its so fun to debate these issues. Sometimes we actually might change our opinions and sometimes we don't. We do usually come away knowing something about the subject that we did not before. So if you post something and don't want a comment of an opinion, that's your fault. Don't post it and no one will comment. What it comes right down to is everyone wants to weigh in and talk about it or we wouldn't be on this facebook thingy anyway. So go ahead and post some stuff and I'll decide if I want to share my opinion. If myself and 100 billion others do, please don't take it out of context. If you don't agree and they get mean and hateful do what I do. Hold your finger on the delete button and punch it real hard. Always makes me feel better. After all Ignorance is BLISS!
