Do you want to...(UO)

keep doing the UO? I have a tame one, lol.

Re: Do you want to...(UO)
How about politics?
I'm thrilled about DOMA and am having a bit of a hard time not unfriending the misguided bigots on my Facebook wall who disagree.
yes!
We're visiting NYC on Saturday...and it is the best city anywhere. I haven't been all over the world, but I've lived in various places down the east coast and I will stand by my opinion that New York thumps them all
me too! Olive Garden is one of the worst "Italian" restaurants I've ever been to
Noooooo!! They're so yummy haha!
Other then the salad an breadsticks, I could live without it.
My UO: Cloth diaper laundry is time consuming and fairly complex.
Our washer isn't programmable, so it's not just "set it and forget it". We also have all types of dipes, so some get treated differently than others. We never put stained diapers in the dryer, even if they're technically clean (they go straight to the clothesline, or the drying rack on rainy days). And we do diaper laundry every day.
Yeah, I bring a lot of this upon myself by having lofty laundry standards (hah!) but when people say that CD laundry is no extra work at all, I think to myself "huh?"
I agree that it can be time consuming if you have lofty laundry standards, haha! It doesn't have to be, though. My UO is that I never line dry. I put all of my PUL items in the dryer for the entire cycle and I use Tide and biokleen at every wash. Basically I am headed to cloth diapering hell in a handbasket, LOL.
Oh no! I can hear the other boards rushing in already!
Agree! It ticks me off that people think they have the right to regulate how people live their lives and who is allowed to be happy. Don't like it? Fine, DON'T LOOK!
I am not religious I believe in darwinism but I don't go around shoving my beliefs down other people's throats saying they are wrong for the way they live. Those so called Christians must not know how to read because in their bible it states "Love thy neighbore" hmmmm doesn't seem like love to me when you're bashing them and saying they're all going to hell.
Ok flame away lol
I'm gonna UO here... I just read the one from last week... and there was a comment about how people using disposables doesn't affect anyone else. Well I am sorry. When the 5000 diapers per baby and associated chemicals sit in a landfill for an undetermined amount of time (estimates at 500+ years) it DOES affect others.
I just gasped. Oh noooo!!! Love that place.
Agreed, this cat is probably stressed about being away from home because my friend swears she never pees in the house at home. Still, the reeking litter box is enough to turn me off from ever owning a cat (and I clean the litter twice a day!). At least my dogs do their business outside!
Well said! I tend to lean conservative but I do my best to follow the directions in the new testament to love my neighbor as myself.
I love their soup and salad but I've never been impressed by anything else. Any time I decide to be different and order a pasta or some other dish there I always end up disappointed and wishing I had just stuck to the soup and salad. I also hate going there for dinner because they charge like $3 more for the soup and salad and I don't think its worth it, which is how I end up making the mistake of ordering something different.
People with liberal views can post their political opinions on facebook without fear of repercussion because their opinions do not judge anyone's lifestyle or deny anyone's equality. They don't make anyone feel inferior. Conservatives can post their opinions on facebook without fear of repercussion when this is true of what they post. Unfortunately, that is often not the case. No one is going to attack you if you post "God is great" as your facebook status. But if your status involves attacking other people, Christian beliefs or not, you can expect to get it right back. This is true for everyone, not just conservatives.
This didn't used to be a UO, but based on last week's thread and where this thread is starting to head, maybe it is now...
I think the UO thread should not be about serious topics like politics or sensitive parenting issues. I'm not afraid of a good healthy debate, but things can get ugly real quick, and to be honest, nobody is going to change their opinion based on what some stranger on the bump has to say. I like reading the UO thread because it's usually light hearted and funny!
Edited to fix poor spelling!
Hey, I did what I could with the Olive Garden
The litter box was clean, so I don't know why she wouldn't use it those few days. My friend said she cleans the box once a day, but I've been doing it twice a day and it still stinks. She also likes to jump on my kitchen counters, which really grosses me out. She jumps off when I scold her, but I shudder to think what she does at night when nobody is watching...
You know, it isn't entirely true that Liberals can just say what they want without fear or people jumping on them. I'm pretty libral, I have some conservative views, but not when it comes to human rights. A lot of the older generation in my family and in my extended family is very conservative. I can't post anything on my fb wall without getting awful private messages and emails about being young and not knowing my own thoughts and God and blah blah blah. Yesterday I wanted to post about DOMA and how happy I was, couldn't. Not unless I want to piss off my inlaws or my parents. So yeah.
This is all I have to say. I have a very good relationship with God, I won't say I"m super religious, because I don't attend church on the reg. The reason I don't, is because I find most Christians to be extremely judgemental against other people. It is hypocritical to call yourself a good Christian and then judge others, when over and over again you are told to love your neighbor, most importantly above all else, you love people. I don't care what your beliefs are, none of us are God and telling people how they can and cannot live thier lives is playing God. That in itself is sinful. Let everyone have their own relationships with God and God can do his judging when the time comes. There isn't a person on here that doesn't have something to be judged for. I'd rather be judged for loving someone of the same sex, than for being hateful towards my fellow man.

I was referring to on tb rather than on Facebook I'm not even on Facebook any more and Facebook is going to be very different based on your friends. I've noticed over the last few years that I've been on TB that more liberal views seem to be accepted warmly while conservative ones seem to be attacked. I have a hard time believing that I am the only one on the whole tb world who is conservative in my views but these views are not often represented on here.
Yes the Bible does say to love your neighbor but it does not tell you to accept or encourage them doing things that are wrong. If my brother broke a law I would not stop loving him but I would still tell him what he was doing was wrong and expect him to accept the consequences, those consequences aren't mine to enforce which I think is where many extremists may go wrong.
I have friends and family who live lifestyles that go against what is said in the Bible but my job as a Christian is to love them and pray for them. It is also my job to vote in a manner that reflects these convictions. I do not attack these people or treat them differently because of their lifestyles but I also refuse to compromise and say that what they are doing is ok.
Haha, my parents always said I should have been a lawyer because I like to argue.
I am going to regret getting into this but by voting against equal or civil rights you are in a very real way treating people differently and even, yes, attacking them. You cannot say that you have compassion for someone when your vote directly hurts that person and affects her or his life. What you do holds a lot more weight than what you say.
If your individual church, for example, does not want to perform marriages for samesex couples, that is your church's right and prerogative. But when you vote against the legal, secular rights of samesex couples, you are imposing your beliefs on the lives of others.
I'm sorry, it's not very "christian" to discriminate against a certain lifestyle. The bible teaches to love all, period. To teach anything other than love and acceptance is not anointed by god and invalid. Most of what the Bible says (mostly Levictus) is no longer valid in today's society and everyone goes against it. So, in other words. Using religion as your excuse is dumb.
As said by a devil worshiping Pagan. (not true btw, we don't believe in the devil)

i mostly hate that a pasta dish costs like thirteen bucks. You can feed an army with $13 of spaghetti! Lol
have you check with a chiropractor.most of the woman's after give birth,have a hip dislocation.and most of the time is what cause tail bond pain.you can also check on the mirror.you need a full body mirror,stay in front of the mirror and see if your shoulder are perfectly strait,and on the same level. If they are not on the same level,it means that your hips are not where they have to be. I do have scoliosis so I need to see the chiropractor most of the time,other ways I will be on pain and suffering from sciatica too.
good luck.

Haha when I was a kid my dad would pull up next to someone like that at an intersection and roll down his window and blast opera or classical music. As a kid I was embarrassed, now I think its funny.
But so then you are judging them. Hey live your life and all that jazz. But to be honest, I'm not sure you considered the fact that people are code switching when they are on here. That means they realize who the audience may be and they are respectfully changing the way they communicate as to not offend. There are women on here in same sex marriages, raising families like the rest of us, they also need a place to belong and the support we come looking for. If you don't agree with the way they live their lives, fine. But dare say it on here and I will feel free to let you know that you're alienating people and putting hateful feelings out there.
I agree with this. Our cat was a sweetheart until our baby was born, then he started peeing everywhere, running outside as soon as someone opened the door, and misbehaving in general. I took him to the vet, but he was ok. So we found a friend that wanted to adopt him, and he's much happier now. I don't think he could handle the stress of the new baby.
If you re-read my original uo it was never about being anti any particular lifestyle etc it was about feeling that the boards tend to be very one sided politcally and that it makes me as a more conservative person feel that my side is never expressed because it would quickly be attacked. It was other posters who turned it from "I'm conservative and I don't like that I feel like I can't voice my feelings on controversial issues without being attacked" to "I'm a hateful person because I'm a Christian" thus proving my point. And as the title of the thread says it's supposed to be an Unpopular opinion which is why I posted it here.
Added: Also I only listed homosexuality as an example of controversial topics along with abortion, I didn't say "homosexuality is wrong" in my original post as I seem to be being accused of.
Being Conservative doesn't give anyone the right to bash how other's live. I am pretty conservative in most matters except gay marriage. I don't think ANYONE has the right to tell someone else who they can or can't love. Don't like it? Fine that's your opinion but you don't have to go around preaching to the world how "wrong" these people are.
I am not saying YOU do this but a lot of so called Christians do and it ticks me off, I mean how much more of a hypocrite can you be?
