Don't post it if you don't want comments....

Good ol' Crackbook (aka Facebook) - keeps most of us entertained throughout the day. Let's us keep in touch with friends/family members. It let's us 'post' what we are thinking/feeling. But let's make one thing very clear, if you don't want to hear people's comments, DON'T post shit!

The other day a friend of mine posted the article about the guy who 'founded' Girls Gone Wild...Joe something or other....and his girlfriend are preggers - how they chose to do IVF and genetic testing. Above the article she posted how she was disturbed that this is what the world is coming too....that people are choosing to do IVF and testing. Cue me not letting this one go! I quickly responded saying my daughter was a result of IVF and genetic testing. I said that I am sure her whole story wasn't written as no one chooses to go through IVF and went on with a few more statements.
All of my comments were to educate her - nothing was meant to be mean or make her feel bad. I quickly got a PM saying how she was sorry about the post and took it down after she read my response because I was right and she didn't want anyone to think she was being insensitive.
First - wasn't the point of my response....Second - I know I was right with what I wrote because I lived it.

Second time was this morning when another friend of mine posted how they told their children there was no Easter Bunny. They are a very Christian family and said they never meant to celebrate the bunny, but made sure the baskets always had Christian things in there. This year they are going to focus on St. Nick and not Santa. Now the comments were nothing bad, just how people choose to do things their way. She came back guns blazing saying how she is not forcing their ideas down any one's throats...oh and she loved everyone. Pretty sure that was to make sure everyone knew she was 'speaking' in a friendly voice.

I rarely ever post on my wall for this very reason. There are a million things I could post but I really don't want to listen to the ignorant comments that I will probably have to listen to....because there would be. But come on people, you know as soon as you hit enter you are allowing everyone you choose to see what you post. You should expect people to comment on it. Not everyone is going to agree with what you say and you shouldn't bite back.....as a 5 year old would say.....you started it!
