I have a couple of bloggers that I follow that for the most part are like-minded. Some are fitness related (as in, yes, the fat guy is trying to keep a positive mindset) and some are simply just people who write words and share their thoughts that I like to read.
Sometimes, their posts can be a little entertaining. I am sure that it is because my mind is pretty skewed. One blogger who likes to run, posted "Running may not make you live longer, but it will feel like you are going to live forever." Rather than thinking that running makes you feel better, my mind interpreted that as "Running makes you feel like your day will never end."
Another blogger, who lives in California, posted one time about how horrible her day had gotten. It was after quite a dry spell, and since she lives close enough to work to be able to take public transit or walk, she had gone someplace in her car. The car that she had owned for over two years. She had gone someplace on a day when it rained and she ended up stuck in a parking lot for two hours because the car she had owned for over two years was getting rained on and she did not have a clue how to turn on the wiper blades. Did not know whether she had the owner manual or where it was. Did not know how to look up online the correct process for turning on her wiper blades. And yet, she was allowed to drive.
Another blogger, who I was kind of (ish) a friend with for a while, and who is a professional college professor using her knowledge and talents to expand the minds of young people, took umbrage with a comment I made that if you refused to accept that one person might have a political opinion that differed from yours, they are allowed to have and express that opinion. The post that killed any chance of a friendship we might share was when I mentioned that if you proclaim to eschew any kind of violence towards others (apparently only those who agree with her political leanings) but have no problem describing torture and death to someone with a different viewpoint from yours, you might be part of the problem. Might be.
Another person absolutely lost their mind when I brought it to their attention that the Second Amendment does NOT allow people to own firearms, but is in place to protect against government infringement of the right to own firearms. More entertaining still was when I suggested that maybe since I might disagreed with their gun control thoughts I should infringe on their First Amendment protection for freedom of speech. If I find their words offensive, I should follow their line of thought and suggest we control what words people can use.
Just a thought.
