Opinions are like assholes...

As my dad has said numerous times - Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one. However, I don't understand the need, the desire, the shear amount of disrespect some people grasp at when pushing their opinions onto someone else who may not feel the same way. The people who push their views over and over and over again, in my eyes are the most needy and insecure people around. Why do you need people to agree with you. Be a strong minded individual who has class and respect. Understand that not everyone in this world feels the way you do about who, what, when, where, how and why!


The three things I've always been told to never talk about in a larger group of people is Money, Religion and Politics. Aside from a small group of friends, I do not discuss these things. I sit at work on a weekly basis, and listen to people argue over what president was best, how Obama is running this country and they hate him, and how Jesus doesn't exhist and anyone who prays is wasting their time.

I voted for Obama - as did most people. I don't need to sit and hear other people discuss how that was such a bad call to vote for him, and he's done nothing to fix this country and yada yada yada. Guess what - the asshole before him fucked this country up so bad, that no - Obama probably won't be the one to FIX America, but at least he's trying. I don't throw insults your way because you voted for McCain. So don't throw them my way because I voted for Obama.

Religion: pft. What a nightmare this can be. I was raised Catholic. I believe in the sanctity of God. I don't agree with every word in a bible - I don't live my life as a strict religious person, but I have faith in a higher power who is looking out for all of us. Just because you are an athiest, doesn't mean how I believe is wrong. Nor does it mean how you feel is wrong. You can feel that religion is useless, that the catholic church is filled with pedophiles and creeps - FEEL that way, but have some GOD damn common courtesy and show RESPECT to the people in the room you KNOW believe in a religion - whichever religion that may be.

That's the power of opinions. The joy of them in fact. YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE. So why don't people get off their high horse, stick a sock in it and don't put people down because they don't see it eye to eye. I have so many views different from my friends and obviously vice versa. I never push my views on a single one of them. At least I feel I don't - and I apologize if anyone has ever felt I do. I stay true to what I believe. I'm against many things and if I'm in a conversation with someone who supports something I'm against,  I don't slander their judgement - I hold no resentment - I place no judgement - I just know that if it were me - I would'nt necessarily do what they did, or act how they acted, or said what they said or felt how they feel.

I've been told: "You should'nt even be a mother because you are not going to breast feed." - yes someone had the audacity to say this another human - PREGNANT human being. Our hormones are already crazy enough before some batshit crazy old broad makes statements like that to us. And guess what - I'm a damn good mother - and the fact that my boob wasn't in his mouth hasn't affected my ability to be a damn good mother in the slightest bit.

I'm sick of seeing status updates, and links, and posts, and rants about this is how the world should be and if you don't agree then you're a bad person. Get over yourselves people - the world does not revolve around you - nor will it ever. Because I think the grass looks green and you think it's still a shade of brown, doesn't make you better than me.

But hey - that's just my opinion!
