I don't need to defend myself for laughing. Stop being ridiculous. My point is anything can be seen as offensive--not that donuts are offensive. Once again, people not being able to read is not my problem.
The joke was FUNNY. You didn't think so? Sorry, not sorry. I have freedom of laughter. End of story.
@southernyankeegirl I do not believe I have read them all. The only time I go onto the bump anymore is on my phone and I've had to delete and reinstall it several times because my pictures were taking up too much space. I believe the last post I read from her was that she and her husband were beginning to do better and seeking counseling. I tried going into her previous posts after reading your comment, but every time I try to open one the comments over lap and it is very hard to read so what I know may be old news.
I'm going to try and explain this next part as well as I can but again, I'm on my mobile, so if you need clarification please let me know. Only a handful of other more regular (I don't really consider myself a regular because to be quiet honest since I've been back at work the only day I make sure to check the bump and post is on Tuesdays when my ticker changes, because I enjoy starting that thread and reading where others are in their pregnancies) anyway, only a handful of people would have known the struggles texasmama786 has had or any of us who don't post a lot would have had for that matter. It seems like every week I see more and more names that I do not recognize. If I were to post something like Texasmama did I wouldn't assume that someone agreeing with my sarcasm would have gone through my post history to see if their comment was enabling me or not.
I think the biggest problem many have here is that they assume people read everything in a post and/or everything in a comment. This is usually why my responses are so long. I was taken out of context many times when I first started posting here so I've learned to either not post or write a long response.
I'm not saying that I agree with some of the comparisons sparks fly made but I don't see a point in jumping to the conclusion that she supports abuse either.

You're free to laugh, but your post specifically criticized others who had only posted to let the poster know that it wasn't okay to feel like she should be grateful to have a roof over her head.
So she made a "joke" that may or may not have been a joke. It very well may have been a cry for help.
Others who probably did know her history told her it wasn't okay if that's how it really was meant - "not funny" as in that's sad if you really feel that way and he shouldn't say that and you shouldn't ever have to feel that way, not as in "no one should ever think this is funny".
YOU are the one who basically told everyone else to back off, that it's just a joke, that you have a right to find it funny, and we all have our panties too far in a twist. Because someone suggested it wasn't appropriate to control a woman by making her feel like her basic life necessities had to be earned somehow. How dare they ruin your joke!
I find most of your posts are confrontational and self-aggrandizing, not to mention insanely illogical and stupid. I won't be responding to you anymore here because I think you add nothing but trash to any conversation you post in. I reserve the right to counter your nonsense anytime I see it, though.
@kmfreema - have you read the stuff she's posted about her DH before? I think her "joke" isn't a joke no matter what she says now. Sometimes supporting someone in an unhealthy relationship means telling them that what they're saying sounds unhealthy, not just patting them on the head. That's called enabling.
@southernyankeegirl I don't comment to your posts either because you need an education and just rant like them. If I want to laugh I will. @Stargirlb was the one that started by telling me I can't find something funny. If you want to be dumb and ignorant, too, that's your choice I'm glad you don't comment to my stuff because I find you as asinine as the rest of them who try to control people's thoughts. Oh I'm sorry, is it a sin to confront people? Cause that's what you're saying. I think you're just intimidated that you have nothing worthwhile to say. So what do you do-- try to degrade others. Get a life and shut up.
So many people are like three more comments away from leaving the board because of people like you. So get off whatever high horse you're on and get your southern ass in a library.
Honestly, this is what happens when people have no class. Ugh. Too unsophisticated to participate in a discussion or let people have their own opinions, then LEAVE.
wow how u get all these smartz? I dunno where to even start the learning. I must be too dense. Betta get my northern ass 2 the library. Who goes to the library anymore? Smart ppl I guess....i wouldn't know...
Honestly, this is what happens when people have no class. Ugh. Too unsophisticated to participate in a discussion or let people have their own opinions, then LEAVE.
@Stargirlb yes, you need class. Going to Guatemala and posting pics of yourself for no reason other than to say your Nikes were out of stock is called vanity. Trying to control people's thoughts is called being dense. And mocking people is called being low class. And you can't learn sophistication... Obviously.

pardon me, am I infringing on the turf of the upper crust intelligentsia? who knew you hang out on the bump laughing at misogynist jokes. that's it-- less guatemala, more libraries for me
I'm going to go to bed, under the roof God gave me (*wonder if this will offend people too since they don't believe in God or some women are homeless*) while the outlandish women here fight it out and try to find the best way to call me stupid. Basic biotches fest. Muah.
Haters gonna hate. I shake it off. And thank God I'm not this narrow minded.
@sparksfly22, are you ok? Your comments are so full of hypocrisy that I can barely see straight. You get onto someone for degrading others, but then you say "get your southern ass in a library"? You tell everyone to "chill the eff out" and then go on a huge rant? And you're standing up really firmly for someone's right to make a misogynistic joke and another person's right to laugh at it? I don't get it. If someone has the right to make a joke and someone else has the right to laugh at it, then other people should have the right to say that they don't find it funny.
Sparks, based on your descriptions, I am forced to accept that you are simply too broad minded and smart for me to begin to comprehend. Have a good sleep.
Oh, little old me is an uneducated Southern girl? That's funny.
I didn't feel it necessary to post that I earned some elite scholarship, was super duper smart, worked for NASA, blah blah blah. Oh wait, that was YOU!
As far as you need to know, I'm a dumb Southern housewife... it's all what you want to see, I guess? Never found it necessary to brag about my intellectual attributes and accomplishments - I let my intelligence speak for itself. If you need to convince someone you're smart, you probably aren't.
And yes, clearly I'm the one who needs an education and lacks the ability to make basic logical comparisons and a rational argument.
@Maebb You can say you find it funny. And you can say you don't find it funny. I really don't care. And people calling me misogynist for finding it funny is not okay. So yeah, if you're gonna call me stupid, I reserve the right to tell you to get your head in a book and learn the definition of an 'opinion' and if I'm saying to chill out it's because I've been attacked for close to three hours for laughing.
So are you guys ok? Is the real question. An opinion is an opinion and someone laughing is not something you can judge. And if you want to, then fine. But I then have the right to tell you what I think of people who act like Nazis.
So don't waste your time telling me what it is. These women embody it in most of their rants, and I'm perfectly content with assuming they just don't know better.
@MusicFanatic I'm sorry to ruin that especially after all you've been through-- but when someone jumps on someone else for something minute, it always ruins it. And it seems that's how January '15 plays, unfortunately.
I am grateful for the women on here who bravely read this board just because they want to learn but never post because they see the rude dynamic and are better than that. I wish I was. But I can't sit there and watch others be attacked for actually feeling safe enough to speak. God forbid they post something the 'mean girls' pack doesn't like.
k well imma get back to the belly button thread where everyone is bravely saddling to take pics of the objects they can fit in their belly buttons. u in, sparks? fun baby shower game idea.... instead of gifts bring an object for you to put in your belly button. Prize to the largest (fitting) object bringer. And u get to keep all the objects!
@southernyankeegirl brag and gratitude was the theme of the thread. Could you not read that either? You're just jealous and I really honestly have never thought about what you are cause your comments are so retarded. But now I do know that you're too petty to even keep your word of not commenting to 'my trash' lol
And what makes you think you're important enough for me to try to 'convince' of anything? That wasn't even half the list of anything I've done in my life. It was all the things I owe to my mom. I'm sorry yours didn't teach you better?
@YaMrWhite feels the need to post about her boobs and fitness all the time
@Stargirlb feels the need to post about her looks and 'super easy' pregnancies and recoveries and life all the time
Women here are always trying to dominate the board so if I want to mention my academic achievements then I will.
And please don't bless anyone with that shameful mouth. God doesn't act like a lame fool like you do.
Honestly. I don't even know why I bother. Women...

ok so we got an accusation of jealousy, a 'retarded' insult, a jab at southerngirl's mom, and some good 'ol misogyny.
Surely you could have packed a few more awesome classy/sophisticated gems in there, sparks! Losing your touch...

I post a weekly fitness thread FOR THE BOARD that I happen to participate in. I comment on bitchfest and wtf threads a few times with some boob comments and that's "all the time"?? Leave me out of this mess ya nutcase!

I dunno... trying to read your comment here and all I'm getting is "boobs!" and "fitness!"
I talked about chipotle and pizza today. Neither are boobs and fitness.
Edit: it's Monday so I did start the fitness thread and the STM thread asked about boobs and I responded. Am I not allowed to be knowledgeable in those areas? Seriously how did I get called out for this? Is it wrong to exercise and have boobs??? If so, I don't want to be right.
No idea how this thread went in this direction- while I didn't see the issue with texasmamas post after reading what everyone posted I get why they were reaching out to her- but sparks you just went off the deepend! And attacking excitedmama- she never says anything but supportive stuff so I really don't get that...

Sparks is very high level.... you have to really really be educated and classy to fully grasp what she is saying. I can only sense through her generous descriptions that what she says must be correct.
