I Judge/Unpopular Opinions/Confessions

Let's liven things up around here, shall we?

I seriously judge anyone who isn't voting because "they don't know enough about politics" or "don't care about the election". Do you live under a rock without access to the internet or newspapers? Go educate yourself and make an informed decision. It makes me so mad that there are people all over the world fighting with their lives for the right to participate in the democratic process while there are so many people in this country who seem to take it completely for granted. 

I judge people who bring their small children into hospitals. I understand bringing a little kid to see a new sibling, or MAYBE a very close relative who is ill, but seriously, children do not need to be running around the halls, picking up (and bringing in) God knows what germs, and disturbing everyone else...while they're, you know, sick enough to be HOSPITALIZED.

I confess that I'm watching Sex and the City (the movie), and the part where Big leaves Carrie at the alter makes me choked up, even though I've seen this movie at least 15 times.

UO: I think it's strange when people insist on giving a certain type of gift (like cash vs. a boxed gift) when the recipient has somehow made it clear that they would prefer one or the other. My Dad always gets a boxed gift, even when there is no registry, and I'm sure my many cousins would have preferred cash.

    I 100% agree with your first judge. I have several friends who say this. It irritates the crap out of me. You have how many months to follow the news, do research, whatever but you "don't know enough about the candidates".

    With regards to your UO: FI's mom does this. She will ask him what he wants for Xmas or birthday and he will say money towards something in particular. She will give home a small amount of money but the rest has to be in gifts that he opens. Half the time it is either something he already has or something that is to no use to him.

    BF doesn't vote it or get involved in politics, it kind of makes me stabby sometimes. I just let it go, he isn't registered and doesn't vote because he doesn't have the time to devote to make an informed decision. Sigh....


    Jorja- I was watching the Sex and the city movie it was on after I got home from work. It does upset me when he does, but I was more upset she went back to him, after all of that.

    I confess I was hoping to be engaged by the time our 3 year anniversary it, it's next Wednesday and I am 99.9% sure it won't happen.  I'm a bit bummed but at our age and after 3 years it hasn't happened yet, what he is waiting for?

    I also confess after eating horribly all week, there were donuts brought in for us this morning at work and I grabbed one. mmm boston cream.

    Confessions:

    -I am not wild about a lot of my wedding pictures because I think I look enormously fat in them.

    -I don't think I'm anywhere near as pretty as I used to be...mostly because of my weight.  And crows feet.

    -I'm working on trying to be nicer and more positive.  Hence my refraining from judging/unpop ops.
  • Options
    - I judge the WOMAN who asked me when I was due at Kohl's the other night. I firmly believe that unless there is a baby actually coming out of a woman's vagina, you don't ask her if she is pregnant. Yes, I was wearing a flowy top, and I'm not in my peak physical form, but I definitely do NOT look pregnant.

    - I join Jorja's confession of crying EVERY.SINGLE.TIME when Big leaves Carrie. Specifically, the part that makes me sob is when she hits him with her flowers. I don't know why, but that kills me.

    - I judge anyone who buys a dog without researching shelters/rescue organizations first. My brother bought a full-blooded golden retriever and had it shipped in from Missouri or something. I wanted to kill him. There are rescue organizations for pretty much every breed out there, and there are so many unwanted/neglected/etc. dogs who need homes.

    - I confess that I judge the HELL out of anyone with a Romney/Ryan sticker on their car.

    - I confess that I am getting sicker by the second and I just want to be in bed. But I have a game at 7 p.m. tonight, so I have to be at work. This is when I really wish I had a normal job.

    See, I don't really have too much of a problem with people getting dogs from a reputable breeder. Some people want a full bred puppy so they can be as sure as possible of what they're getting. 

    For example, I would LOVE to have a Corgi some day, but they have the potential to be nippy little sh!ts if they aren't trained well from puppyhood. My aunt ended up with an adorable Corgi mix from a rescue...who attacks anyone who comes into their house. He didn't start doing it until a couple of weeks after they brought him home (and, at that point, they obviously weren't willing to take him back). They have had to substantially alter their lives in order to prevent this dog from biting anyone. 
     
    I'm not saying by any means that it guarantees you won't have a difficult dog by buying from a breeder, or that all (or even most) rescue dogs have problems, just trying to offer a personal explanation of why I would prefer to get a dog as a puppy, who is more likely to exhibit the true personality/behavior typical of any given breed.

    This 100%.  FI and I want to get a dog when we move into a house.  We have researched breeds and know that we want a boxer.  We will be adopting regardless.  If we can't find a boxer we will either wait until one becomes available for adoption or we will end up choosing a different breed.  With so many animals without homes, I am certain we will find one that meets our wants (size, activity level, temperament, etc).   I don't think there are any acceptable reasons to go to a breeder.

    I judge my classmates who constantly complain that they don't know how to write a lit. review (one of the main projects for a class we have this semester) but not a single one of them has gone to talk to our professor about it. If your head is so far up your a$$ that you won't admit to a professor that you don't know how to do something so he can help then don't complain! UO: I think Romney kick Obama's butt in the debate on Wednesday. Obama was not a strong speaker that night. I confess that I'm getting really really tired of waiting to get engaged! I want to happen right now! ETA: UO - I think it's perfectly acceptable to go to a reputable breeder. I don't really care what a person's reason is but if that is what they want to do I don't see how those dogs deserve a good home any less than shelter/rescue dogs. BF's family has gotten all of their dogs from breeders and my grandmother is a breeder.

    FTR - I don't think there are NO good reasons for going to a breeder. Jorja, you explained good ones pretty well. I just think doing a little research on rescue/adoption should be part of looking into getting any pet. I, personally, will never buy from a breeder. I don't judge you for wanting a purebred dog, I judge people (like my brother) who REFUSE to look at other options (rescuing/adopting) and instead, spend thousands of dollars to get a purebred dog shipped across the country.

    I agree with Beth that Romney was a clear winner at the debate, as far as presentation goes. Obama - who I usually enjoy watching speak - was totally off his game.

    I also agree about the breeder thing. I rescued a dachshund when I was 19 who was clearly abused by his previous owner. He was a really tough dog to train and he had fear/aggression issues and even though I worked hard with him he still ended up going to a friend of mine's neighbor because she specializes in dog behavior and I knew he would be a better fit there. So sometimes adopting can not always work out depending on the dog. You don't know their previous owners and their behaviors change after you bring them home. Not to say adopting a dog is a bad thing, and I definitely think adopting is an amazing thing to do but, I can see how getting a pup from a breeder is okay too.

    I also agree with the thing about birthdays! I don't even mention my birthday, the week of it, the month etc.

    I really dislike people posting obnoxious/untrue things about politics on Facebook. Obviously everyone is entitled to their own political views but, "sharing" a photo that has incorrect information on it is super annoying.

    There are plenty of puppies that need adopted too.  I just don't see how someone can say "oh sorry puppy with out a home that might be euthanized, I'd rather pay hundreds/thousands for a different puppy."  Yes, it might not be the exact breed that you've always dreamed of, but I can't imagine that no other dog out there will meet your criteria.  Its okay if this is an unpop-op.  I don't expect everyone to agree with me.  And quite honestly, I am sure that many people can rationalize buying over adopting.  I just can't. It would eat away at me knowing that I could have saved an animal from a rescue but choose not to do so. 

    It is really bothering me right now because my sister has a small dog that she adopted which she has decided she needs to get rid of.  And my mom has decided that she would like to get another small dog.  Instead of my mom taking this dog that she knows gets along with her other dog, she decided to fly from FL to MI to buy a pure bred Chihuahua puppy.  I don't understand it at all.  It really bothers me that my sister's dog is probably going to end up back at a shelter when there was a chance for him to have a home.

    Had to respond :-)

    I don't think there is any acceptable reason to go to a pet store or backyard breeder. I believe that if I get my puppy from a breeder, I am supporting the ONLY acceptable way to bring new puppies into the world. I totally support anyone who wants to get theirs from a shelter (my family has owned dogs from shelters), but I don't think that if I want a puppy I MUST choose among the ones that were brought into this world irresponsibly. If I'm going to be living with this creature for the next 12-20 years, spending time, energy, and lots of $ on it, I'd like to know where it comes from, what it's parents are like, and what temperment/health issues I can reasonably expect. If I couldn't afford to go to a breeder, or didn't want to put in the time/research all responsible breeders require for potential puppy-buyers, I would go to a local shelter in a heartbeat.

    ETA: I definitely judge those who attack someones decision to go to a breeder, unless that person has made every decision in life based upon whether or not it is helping another living being (i.e. I won't get pregnant because there is a child in need of adoption, I won't buy these sneakers because they are likely made in a sweat shop, etc.). I'm not perfect, but I love animals and firmly believe I am doing nothing wrong in considering to buy from a repsonsible, reputable breeder. It definitely hurts when anyone insinuates otherwise :-(

    I think that responsible breeders are definitely a step up from pet stores; at least they are taking steps to ensure that defects such as hip dysplasia are not being passed on.

    In general though, there are more animals that need homes (and this includes animals from shelters, breeders, pet stores) than there are homes available for these animals. It is sort of a supply vs. demand situation.  The supply of pets outnumbers the demand.  We can't change this situation unless we stop adding to the "animals in need of homes" category.  So by choosing to rescue you are sending a message to breeders (both responsible and other wise) that the demand for pets is not there.  In turn, that should reduce the number of litters being born and eventually reduce the number of pets with out homes.

    Obviously one person is not going to magically change the situation by choosing to adopt over going to a breeder.  The most I can do, is do my part. 

    This is not just to K.everdeen, but I only posted about this in this thread because it is for judging and unpop ops.  I don't go around yelling at people for choosing to buy from a breeder.

    [QUOTE]SKP - I also judge people who don't return carts!! It makes me irrationally angry. I also judge people who talk on their phones in checkout lines, while interacting with the cashier. It makes me stabby. Common courtesy, people. Confession<strong>: I am starting to get more bothered by "I got a new job!" posts on facebook more than "We're engaged!" posts. </strong>I think this is a major shift in my personal priorities.

    <div>This reminded me that we're getting to that time of year where FB will be flooded with "I got into grad school!" posts soon.  And those make me want to jump off a cliff.</div>

    [QUOTE]I also still get excited about my birthday.  My parents did a great job of making sure that my birthday was separate from Christmas, but my friends didn't.  I got really good at internalizing that, but that doesn't mean I can't get excited about my birthday, and <strong>part of me still hopes every year that friends will make kind of a big deal about it.</strong>

    </div><div>And I don't know, I don't know anyone who makes a big deal out of their friends' birthdays - like organizing a party or hosting an event.  How it's worked for me and pretty much all of my friends since college is that the person who is having the birthday, or maybe their SO, plans a night at the bar, maybe dinner, and everyone goes and pays their own way.  </div>

    [QUOTE] Confession:  I got my first positive ovulation test and I am overly excited.  I didn't expect my body to adjust so quickly after going off of BCPs.  (We are not trying to get pregnant yet, though, so don't get all excited. )

    Usually I just celebrate with H.  But a couple of years ago, my friends "surprised" me at dinner and treated me.  It was very sweet.
