People comment on my atheism. They comment on me being liberal. Now they can comment

Um, this is athiest forums, what you were looking for is called Facebook.

are people getting tired of my threads?

Apparently not. Two pages... this thread is going places. *shrug*

edit: and by commenting that it was two pages I made it three. It is cool because I did it ironically, and by ironically I mean by complete accident.

Everyone loves a "my sex is weirder than yours" and "I'm more socially repressed than you" thread.

Oh, shoot me. I'm an asshole.

weird. I am a liberal atheist who is a gay man trapped inside this hideous lady shell. You wouldn't believe the shit I get for all that. Too bad for the shit givers that my give a fuck is busted.

You're the first man i've wanted to bang.

I'm offended.

Best advice you'll ever get about FB.

If you insist on putting things out there, like your sexual preference, your religiosity or lackthereof, or just "screaming to the nets" like I have a habit of doing in order to externalize some of the shit that goes on in my head, learn to use the delete function.

Use it on yourself OR use it on people's comments if you don't like them.

Dear people, FB is not a democracy where people's comments have to stay forever. If you don't like someone's tone, delete it. If it pisses them off, unfriend them.

You are who you are and I don't think you should "hide" what you are because you're afraid of controversy or someone making an inappropriate comment. If you don't want anyone to come onto your wall and post their view, there is a security feature that makes it so only YOU can post status messages and no one can write on your wall.

I don't know why people put up with shit on Social sites. Just because someone else posted something doesn't make it sacred and set in stone.

I WISH people would come and cause controversy on my page. At night though - I can't access it at work.

I feel for ya. I'm vegan.

Yup. Well, I'm just a vegetarian, but still I'm looked at as abnormal.

Freak.

That's some good advice there.

I inspired other people to Come Out as well...

I feel for ya. I have radical political beliefs. I'm an atheist. I'm pansexual. I'm vegan. I'm a feminist. It doesn't get much harder for someone in this society than that :p

How about a black, handicapped, elderly, atheist, feminist, pansexual, vegan with radical political beliefs... and suddenly it just got impossible.

It was a joke.

I'm thinking Sophia is just Sophia, so I gave her kudos for coming out.

What I know about shit like that; there is dual-state identity - which applies to like everything - in this case, the "I" vs. the "I" I am the artist ellenjanuary - say that like nothing, now; but the first step was naming myself in November of 1995... and what a fucking journey did that LSD initiate. Whoo-doggie. Which means that the insidious form of oppression seems to be self-oppression initiated by a maturing morality coming into conflict with existing ethical standard.

As for disadvantages; well I'm clinically insane - unspecified psychosis - a convicted felon... that enough?

Advantages? ellenjanuary. I wanna go somewhere, I put my shoes on. Lately I've been a resident of Phoenix. I come outta the joint, I live in the bushes, I draw a certain blond - and two years later, I'm offered a position as construction superintendent. Which is to say, no experience, no references, all the deck stacked against me... but fuck a deck, I got identity. That's the thing to have.

So! Seems like Sophia is finding hers, and that's a good thing. Facebook, however; officially sucks the hog. I tried to operate that environment twice, I'm not thinking there's gonna be a third attempt.

Alternatively you could not use FB at all.
