![]() Between the cries of “accept ME/tolerate ME/where are MY rights?” and publicly labeling their own friends as racists, I don’t know how these whiners have time to put food in their mouths. On the opposite end of political circus, we find these equally annoying people, and they make Facebook a living hell just like their right-wing counterparts. Political Posts from Whiny, Self-Righteous, Liberal Crybabies: They sound like those morons from the “Goobacks” episode of South Park. In a perfect world, every time I had to see an “Obama is trying to take all our guns!!” post from one of these idiots, I would be allowed to provide them with one punch in the temple. I’m not sure why, but I’m still “friends” with an inordinate amount of these jokers on the old Facebook, and methinks it’s time to flush the proverbial toilet on this nonsense. Political Posts from Right-Wing, Constitution-Thumping, Muslim-Bashing Gun Nuts: While you have an intended audience in mind, the actual audience for such vapid fare wishes they could e-punch you. “If you love God, share/hit the like button!” Although I’m a stone-cold atheist, I’ll try to tread through this without being completely offensive, but I’ll say this – if you do choose to believe in some invisible deity, I guarantee that he/she/it is not taking such pointless social media shenanigans into consideration for when you shuffle off your mortal coil. Oh, who am I kidding? I’m not watching the game. ![]() Or my own two eyes while I watch the game. Nobody needs Facebook status updates on every down, every catch, every interception, or every time the head coach is caught by one of the cameramen picking his nose on the sidelines. This usually pertains to whatever football game is on at the time, and since EVERYONE in America is inexplicably obsessed with the game, chances are that everyone is watching the same game. It’s not going to amaze me or make me cry, and the only thing I can’t believe is why everyone keeps falling for it. I hate to break it to you, but most of it is either staged, or is not that interesting to begin with. You know the stuff – “blah blah blah…what he did next will AMAZE you,” or “you won’t BELIEVE what happened next,” or “what she said next will have you in tears.” This garbage meant to drag people in without giving away the punchline needs to stop being passed around like herpes. This phenomenon has taken over the world of Facebook over the last couple years, and it is supremely irritating. These are the things on Facebook that burn my biscuits, and they are in no particular order. I’m sure you have your own list of things you’d like to see banished from your line of sight as you scroll through the dross, and I’ll be sharing mine with you now. While no amount of annoyance will likely ever lead me to shut down my own profile, there are so many things that I see on a daily basis from people I should no longer “follow” that make me seethe with anger. ![]() We’re all annoyed by much of what we see on our newsfeeds as we mindlessly scroll, but nonetheless, we’re all still addicted, myself included. It’s a wonder any of us still use Facebook throughout the day, considering what a wasteland it has become.
