Tired...

[bliss_eternal]

...taking a break from the big forums (GD, etc.) for a while.

Threads like this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x827939

(now locked--not rallying the troops.)

w/all the usual suspects dropping in to call abortion murder and infanticide on a progressive board...very draining and disconcerting.

Peace,
bliss :hi:

1. Hey bliss..

...I saw that thread and know what you mean. I read it early on and was so disgusted with some of it that I decided not to look again. Checking it again through your link, I was at least glad to see the "feminist pig" post was deleted. :applause:

I find the discussion of certain topics here to be exhausting - even just reading the threads can make my blood boil. :mad:

5. I was glad they took that out, too...

...though the sub-thread should possibly go too, so there's no reference to it at all.
I am really sad to continually see abortion referred to here as "infanticide and murder." :wow:

(((sigh)))Oh well, the only person one can ultimately change is oneself.
Can't change those that don't want to. Got to move on.

Thanks for the kind words, no surrender. :hi:

2. The Willfully Ignorant simply

aren't worth your time nor effort. I say: IGNORE THE IGNORANT! Because they will just depress you. Keep your strength for the battles that really matter.

Take care!

4. You're right, femrap...

...and thank you.

I seriously need to place some people on ignore. My hope was to aid in getting them tombstoned,
but in the process, I'm making myself look ridiculous and raising my blood pressure.
The repeat offenders that I allow time and again to really push my buttons. You're right,
it's just not worth it.

:hi::hug:

Thank you for the words of wisdom.

8. I have learned to love

that Ignore button! Let it be your friend.

Take care.

3. That thread made my blood boil

That one and so many others. All the attacks make it difficult for me to put together a post of my own - can't seem to stay focused on what really matters - feeling a lot of anger and defeat.

6. don't let it get you down, too...

dancing alone. As femrap said so well--they just aren't worth it.

:hug:

7. God

I missed that one too. Why can't they get it? A male can support a women's right to choose. Plain and simple.

But women don't need restrictive legal/illegal bullshit over a medical procedure. What is so hard to understand about that? Giving a women autonomy, saying in a sense, "I respect you and your ability to make medical decisions for yourself, you are the one who puts your life at risk with pregnancy, and I will support your choices, whatever they may be?

Sensitive bastards aren't they? Must be embryo implantation envy.

9. I see my responses to some were deleted...

...:eyes:

I told one of the usual suspects when semen was legislated, and men were called on "wreckless abandonment" for premature ejaculation, then MAYBE we could talk about their opinion on my uterine rights. ;)

10. I love threads like those for one reason, and one reason only.

It lets me know who to put on my ignore list. Which is quite lengthy and full of misogynists and racists.
