Facebook Rant: Lesson Learned (I hope.)


I decided today to take a better path (or at least to try) in order to preserve my own serenity:

Step 1:  Don't say something if you can't say it nicely.

Step 2:  Block the asshole who percipitates these types of responses from you.

Step 3:  Repeat Step 1.

Two Facebook responses not posted as a result:

Post 1:
Yay!  Predictions are fun!  This is kind of like sports talk for politics.  Thanks for clarifying where the prediction came from.  Really had me wondering - Did it come from a data driven, mathematical model?  No, could not be that, can’t trust data and math.  Maybe seer stones (there’s someone very popular with access to a set).  Or maybe a vision, tarot cards, divination, crystal ball, Liu Ren, astrology.  So many faith based systems used to produce predictions. 
 
Post 2:
Oh ye of little faith in your conservative Christian fellows.  Once the brothers and sisters of the Republican party take power and establish the United Theocracy of America, all of the non-believers will miraculously become believers (or will be forced to believe by law and constitutional amendment or at gun point.  Any remaining aberrations will be deported or put in camps to die with the LBGT crowd).  Take a leap of faith, go forth and bring the word to those heathen countries.  Fear not, the plan is in place to deal with all of the heathens here.

One Facebook Block as a result.

I feel better already.
