my fish don't care who won the election

...as long as they are given the opportunity to survive.

and just the same, i don't care what label the next regime tacks above their desk as long as they step back and take in the bigger picture.  no one is going to give a shit about a republican dominated election when their very own mother earth takes her last breath, no one is going to care about the name calling and mud slinging campaigns.  we see her stumbling yet waste all our energy arguing over which clique gets to run the playground.

yoo hoo, people .. we don't choose our friends because they wear a red shirt or a blue shirt, we choose them because of who they are and what they stand for.  should our elected officials not be held under the same policy?  i say abolish the "party" affiliations and get back to basics.  who holds the same beliefs, who is honest, who best represents YOU?  get big business and money grubbing greed out of control.  cap campaign spending, cap salary and benefits, and most importantly cap the underlying control held over your own head.

i'm far from saying the issues at hand aren't worthy of time, consideration, blood, sweat and tears .. i just see so many people losing sight of reality and getting swept up in the political circus.  what a shame.

as an example, a recent exchange on FB in which the entire point was overlooked and drug right back down into the political mud pit:


seriously shon, the name calling and flat out "you're stupid if you don't agree with me" attitude is a complete turn off and TOTALLY offensive attitude. what exactly are you expecting to accomplish? do you think the person you're spitting at is going to hear a word you're saying, even if you have a valid point? hell no. you're being a detriment to your own cause. consider your words a bit more carefully, my friend, people outside of your march may just listen if you stop acting as if your point of view is the only valid one. how many minds have you opened with the help of "pathetic" or "ignorant" or "pitiful" .. think about it.

    • Brandee by the way, this is being said by one who doesn't claim affiliation with either party .. just to make it clear i'm not acting as a cheerleader for one side or the other, nor are my words in any way politically charged.

    • Shon Sorry.. but the republicans are fucking evil idiots. Does name calling help? Nope. But it's true.

    • Shon  If people actually PAID ATTENTION to who did what and WHY they are doing it, NO ONE WOULD BE REPUBLICAN. They are just IGNORANT ASSHOLES.

      95% of the people on my page are left leaning. So mostly I'm preaching to the choir. I use this format to poke fun, vent and get out important information. I'm an independent. But when I see evil, I call it out.

      For example... OBAMA passed equal pay for women. The republicans wanted nothing to do with it. THAT is evil.

      dearheart, Obama did not single handedly pass equal pay for women. he simply signed a bill that extends the time in which people can file a claim against discrimination in pay (not only against women .. but race, religion, national origin, disability and age as well.) he is a politician, just the same as the rest of washington. that does not earn him the glory of a saint. i fully support the bill, don't get me wrong, but the opposition had valid points to take into consideration .. the extension will encourage a flood of frivolous lawsuits and be a boon to trial lawyers. it -will- be taken advantage of. my point is that varied points of view are a good thing .. no one should view any such matters with a narrow mind. a fully informed decision is always the best decision .. and the most logical way to influence the best outcome.

      an "ignorant asshole" sterotype does what good? none. a metalhead should know this, and hold it dear .. what stereotypes have YOU been wrongfully lumped in with?

      clear your mind, educate yourself, share your opinion .. absolutely. but, also, understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we all need to respect that whether or not we agree with said opinion. and understand that by belittling another's opinion, you do no good. you spread the evil of a mindless sheep mentality in doing so.

      we all have the right to support whatever we choose, and we also have the right to change our minds when presented with raw facts void of bias .. based on our own morals and beliefs. -that- is the beauty of a free nation. -that- is what we are fighting to keep. please, don't lose sight of the real battle.

    • Shon  Don't dare tell me to educate myself on the matters of politics. You're treading in dangerous water there.

      The republicans have screwed the pooch...and WE are the pooch.

    • Shon Besides...what's the fucking difference between me calling republicans ignorant and you telling me to educate myself? Hello kettle.

    • Brandee bite your tongue and re-read what i wrote. i was NOT suggesting you educate yourself .. i was standing behind the fact that you did, encouraging the fact actually, along with sharing your opinion. "absolutely" to be exact. don't seek offense where there is none intended. and don't jump my ass when it's unwarranted.

    • DeannaWow, Shon.....completely over your head....that's what you picked out? I kept telling you not to generalize people regardless of their beliefs....not one person in this world is ever entirely right on anything, or entirely wrong. That would include you...and the rest of us!...this is what happens when you work out for only a short amount of time and don't leave enough time for the endorphins to be released!
