Bold move

worst idea ever?
having your family on facebook.

My dad asked me to change my "religious views" part of my facebook profile yesterday. jokes.
I don't know if anyone saw it, but it was an obvious haymaker quote. not that that means it describes how i feel about organized religion any less... but regardless, it really wasn't a big deal.


Hi Hon;
Please do me a favour. Change the "religious views" portion of your profile.
You have a lot of family "friends" that you are now hooked up with reading your profile.
You would be better off leaving it blank.
Love
Dad


By family "friends" he means people i don't know or care about. and i don't think you can even look at my profile if you aren't my friend.

anyway, i guess in his absence of my earlier years my dad forgot that i wasn't raised within any sort of religion. and with the growing awareness of how FUCKED UP it all is, and how many problems it causes world wide, i'm somewhat disheartened that he would try and squash, what is in my opionion, one of the more sane views on it all.



i have never been one to push my views on things upon other people. not even just about religion. and i would like to think a lot of thoe choices i make when it comes to my lifestyle are carefully thought out and weighed pertaining to whats best for me as an individual.

Getting this e-mail, makes me even more dissapointed in the human race than i already am, that we still have such a close minded point of view on things that something as fucking lame as part of a facebook profile would cause any sort of judgemental behaviour or negative action.

it's almost fucking 2009 people.
time to wake up.

but my pal took part in it by putting her middlename as hussein on facebook, and for someone whos middle name was like slutcakes and loosetitties and other silly things, an old highschool friend had tattled to her mom, and then her mom tattled on her own mom, which then scolded her for her middle name on facebook even though shes like, pushing 30.
