why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

it was ok, kind of cloying

There is a hippie-dippie earnestness that cloys sometimes. And also a tendency to adhere to vanilla white-suburban-liberal NPR pieties.

For all the "we don't have any doctrine or dogma" stuff, there is often a surprising amount of socially-enforced conformity.

My stereotypical UU is still a 65-year-old guy with wire-rimmed glasses and a chunky ethically-sourced sweater. He's a vegetarian and he has a wooden canoe. He plays some twee folkie instrument like mountain dulcimer. He gets in his Prius with its "Proud Democrat" stickers, and goes to the farmer's market with his PBS tote bag. Gets some acorn squash.

My Catholic father married into this and mocks it relentlessly.

That's so sweet joygoat.

Maybe people become more of whatever they were before? I know I'm heading farther left the older I get.

the guy who wrote the lyrics to "do you hear what i hear?" went to the UU church i went to when i was a kid. he was nice. i always loved that song. it was nice to sing it with the congregation every christmas.

xp yeah I'd say conservative people (small c) become more conservative with age

Do you sing it like Bob Dylan? xpost

Have to admit I like this one.

these fuckin people

Eh. Agencies that never get noticed by the public are ripe for budget cutting by congress, even if they keep kids from dying. What's a dead or maimed kid or two here or there? It's not like they're fetuses that need protecting or anything like that.

waht

Yeah. Defriended. sorry guys. No more veteran memes.

that just... doesn't make any sense?

It's making fun of transgender people while also stroking it's own dick about gun ownership and then conflating transphobia with racism, capped off with some illiteracy for good measure.

there's a lot of competition but that must be up there with the stupidest image macro in the entire thread

Yeah I get what it's trying to do but it's such a topply shitpile of an MC Escher bigotry, none of the angles support each other at all

I have wandered down too many veterans humor facebook pages during the few months I was friends with that guy to ever be sure if I have found the stupidest one. That one came from https://www.facebook.com/DisgruntledVets/

love too mix metaphors

i think i'm about to get banned from facebook. they told me i had "violated their community standards" by posting a link to scott walker's "patriot, a single" (honestly i don't even remember doing so, which means someone somewhere is under the impression that reviewing facebook posts nobody remembers anymore for "violation of community standards" is the best way to fix their credibility gap), and then they asked me straight up if i was a spammer. i hope they do ban me because i don't have the strength of will to delete my facebook account.

I would instantly unfriend anyone posting that. What an unforgivable combination of picture and text.

You could try to hold a discussion with them? Although:

A common denominator to many professional and personal success stories, Steve Maraboli has spent nearly 20 years refining his Coaching/Counseling/Influence methodology.

He is the creator and developer of, “Psycho-Neuro-Actualization” (The Maraboli Method); a breakthrough Influence Methodology that has gained worldwide attention for its effectiveness in Behavior Modification, Habit Reconstruction, and Personal/Group Mindset Enhancement.

PNA (The Maraboli Method) has been called, “The Science of Influence,” and UCLA recognized PNA (The Maraboli Method) as, “An important behavioral breakthrough for maximizing the human potential.”

With the increased volume of client requests for personal coaching, Steve works one on one, training and certifying PNA (The Maraboli Method) Coaches around the world. Steve and his ELITE team of Coaches work with their clients, domestic and globally, in-person, by phone, and through Skype or FaceTime.

And yet he isn't going to waste time trying to explain any of this to anyone.

ELITE team of Coaches

stop trying to explain yourself. people only understand things from the sensory input they receive so the best thing to do is withhold your possible contribution to their experience of reality out of a selfish and foolish desire to conserve energy whatever that means

PNA (The Maraboli Method) has been called, “The Science of Influence,”

lol. this is about the lamest claim imaginable, on a par with penis-lengthening spam emails.
