Anyone else get really irritated with the stupid stuff family posts on facebook
Got on FB this morning and one cousin,who votes republican across the board, is crying about how poorly teachers are paid in her state and that there aren't enough services for her youngest child who has autism. Another cousin posted one of those "good old days" memes about how spoiled kids need things like car seats these days. I posted 3 studies on childhood mortality in her comments. I just can't deal with the idiocy.

Lol!
I cannot be myself on Facebook, so I'm rarely on there anymore. There is always someone there to argue, and I honestly do not have the time not the energy for their idiocy , bigotry or both. I have a few relatives and friends that use it for communication, so I don't feel comfortable closing my account.

I hear you. Imagine my surprise when my step-mom forwarded me a video of my sister giving a speech at a Tea Party rally...

Oh dear.
Yes! Everyone in my family leans right, and I don't mean a little, I mean A LOT. Some of them believe Obama is a Muslim, as if that is now or has ever been relevant. A lot of them don't even believe in vaccines and think that secular people are morally bankrupt. I've tried to educate them numerous times, and I've unfriended a lot of them just for the sake of my own sanity.

So have I. They are immune to reason. Are your relatives worried about morally bankrupt atheists also the types who DO all the awful stuff they accuse us of?
They have their idiotic moments but overall not too dumb. At least not the ones I haven't already scared off. I just scroll on by or unfollow if it becomes too irritating. They're family aren't they suppose to be a pain in the ass?
