I don't think I'm going to post things on Facebook anymore. It feels like any time I do, it turns into a fight. I think people make assumptions about my political leanings, assume that since I'm a Mormon from Utah I must be super conservative, therefore, anything I post must be super conservative, and they must argue against what I've posted. Regardless.
No, really. I can say that abusive, questionably rape-like relationships are bad and I'm wrong.
Which is funny because I'm actually right in the middle as far as politics go. Fiscally conservative, socially moderate. I'm a registered independent, and according to this political quiz, I'm basically in the middle but slightly skewed left. And I'm finding that being in the middle is pretty tough because everyone collectively hates you (or the very worst they question my testimony because apparently science and religion are mutually exclusive....???):
- I'm a tree-hugging, anti-religious, crazy liberal to my super conservative friends and family for believing in global warming and evolution. I guess I just like the earth and think that not being soley dependent on oil wouldn't be the worst thing, oh and how dare I treat my gay friends with love and acceptance (which I'm pretty sure is what Christ would do, but apparently I'm wrong about that too).
- And yet somehow I'm also an anti-science, anti-free speech, crazy conservative to my liberal friends for thinking that pornography is damaging and for being annoyed that the government takes 40% of my paycheck, (and that the government is the biggest waste of money and mostly ineffective, inefficient, and useless, bloated corpse of what it should be).
