    I defriended someone when they went on a rant that Obama was only elected because he was black (on top of a ton of other garbage). I said "Oh, so you are ignorant and racist at the same time? That's a great combination". I defriended her after that, but she sent me a message after cursing me out, and used the "I'm not racist, I have black friends card". That is a friendship I don't need.

    And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

    This line never ever fails to fantastically amuse me.  Once I made a smartass comment about black folks on my bestie's FB, and one of her friends went on this long rant about how I was a big fat racist, and everybody else was like "Uhhh.....yeah."  She said that my "picture looked like I was Spanish or something, not black."

    Ah yes, but when she posted it, she then said she was not getting a flu shot (based on what she "learned" in the article - her eact words were "No flu shot for me, ever" and her friend boasted that she was not getting her son a flu shot, so I am judging the hell out of them for endangering their children's health based on junk science and not doing any research. If you want to believe it and die of the flu, go for it. That is Darwin in action. But when you subject your kids to it, that is a different story.

    Oh, I didn't defriend her. i defriended the closet racist. I just silently judged the vaccine chick. Actually, I judge her for a lot of things. She is Cuban, and has a ethnic sounding last name. She changed it to a ethnicity-free last name because she went into fashion, and she didn't think she would get a job with a name like "Rodriguez". She wanted to sound more "white". She also changed where she grew up from the Bronx to Manhattan. Yeah, big diff, honey.

    [QUOTE]I have a grievance with emilyinchile's "go to my fb and like this photo so I can win a contest" post on E. I don't mind her, actually I think she's really nice, I just think she could have kept it to her FB friends.  That and the fact if any rando came in and posted somewhere about asking people to help her win 200 bucks she'd get flamed hardcore for it, and the post would probably get deleted.

    First of all, I couldn't agree more with Sarah07 about blocking angering posts. FB is not there to teach me tolerance, even if I should learn it (an should I with prejudice/racists posts?).

    Second of all, ReneeJacob. Her topics. I have always thought she used SB as her personal Loveline and it bugs me to no end. Renee: you said yourself you ask us questions you can't ask people you know/friends... so what are we exactly? I'm okay with personal questions, but talk about impersonal stuff too, then it doesn't seem so out of the blue.

    Thirdly, it seems like J&K is really nit-picking every post in here, sometimes in general. Pedophile vs. child molester for instance. And that one in particular bugs me because there is way too much gray area between pedophile/molester and it just sounds like JK's saying "But guys! You have nothing to worry about! Pedophiles don't act on thier urges, so they're chill, it's molesters we need to watch out for!" Um, no, it's okay for people to be worried about pedophiles and to use that word for the whole pedophile community at large. 

    I'm kinda cranky today, so there is that too.

    [QUOTE]Thirdly, it seems like J&K is really nit-picking every post in here, sometimes in general. Pedophile vs. child molester for instance. And that one in particular bugs me because there is way too much gray area between pedophile/molester and it just sounds like JK's saying "But guys! You have nothing to worry about! Pedophiles don't act on thier urges, so they're chill, it's molesters we need to watch out for!" Um, no, it's okay for people to be worried about pedophiles and to use that word for the whole pedophile community at large.  I'm kinda cranky today, so there is that too.

    It's AYG, it's FOR nit-picking.  And the pedophile vs child molester thing is something that I have a personal bias about (and more knowledge on than the average person, IMO), based on the populations I've worked with so it really gets me going.  Not every pedophile molests kids.  Plus it's a mental health diagnosis--it's a personal pet peeve of mine to have them thrown around all willy nilly.  (Example:  She was mad at me, and then she wasn't!  She's so bipolar!) There's no gray area.  It's a mental health diagnosis vs a criminal offense.  Sure, some pedophiles molest kids.  Sure, some child molesters are pedophiles.  But one does not equal the other.  Never did I say you don't need to watch out for anyone.

    I get J&K wanting to set the record straight on pedophiles and child molesters.  That's her education and work background; it's something she's passionate about.  If she says it's important to distinguish between a person and an act, I can see that.

    ETA:  Doh.  We posted at the same time.

    Thanks.  That's what I was trying to say but you said it better than me. 

    I never said "don't worry about pedophiles/child molesters."  I wasn't even posting my little semantics lesson on it in response to that.  It's just something I like to clear up when the terms are being used interchangeably.  I DID say it must be tiring to go around constantly worrying that the person you date is a pedophile, and I stand by that.  That would be exhausting.  But it had nothing to do with pedophilia vs child molesting.

    I'm always late to these threads!

    I have no issues with YIO referring to her child as her kid on an internet forum. It is weird to me but I don't see the harm in it. I call all my friends' kids "kiddo" when talking to them.

    I have serious privacy issues in my personal relationships mostly because of my psycho ex-H. He went through my phone, stalked me on online forums, found and read my diary then used the contents against me (to guilt and/or shame me, publicly). So while I'm not personally bothered by someone that goes through their spouse's email without consent or knowledge of the spouse, I do think it's incredibly disrespectful and damaging to the relationship. I trust my H implicitly and would show him all my emails/forum posts/diary if he asked and I know that he will not break my trust by going behind my back to essentially spy on me.

    Also, it's not a grievance, but I like that AATB was not afraid to step in and speak up against the majority on E in that dollar dance/garter auction thread. While I, personally, find them distasteful as they are not common in my area, that doesn't mean they aren't the norm somewhere else.

    For some reason all of this talk about pedophiles reminded me of when that facebook group of "why test on animals when there are pedofiles in prison" made me want to choke something.
