It's gotten to the point now where I have to threaten to stab (in the throat) the first person who politicizes one of my status updates.
Here's today's:
Dear owner of 2100 Sunset Plaza Dr., Los Angeles, Ca: You have too much money. Go to Zillow.com and look at pictures of your property. Seriously. That's ridiculous. (For anyone concerned, this property is not related to any work projects. I stumbled across it incidentally.)
This is a link to the property in question.
As soon as I put it up I realized.. "My stupid, insane libertarian friends are going to immediately start yelling at me for suggesting it's possible that someone has too much money."
So I followed it up with:
"And I swear if anyone tries to turn this into a political argument I will stab you in the fucking throat."
Seriously. It goes for liberals, too. Just fucking stop it. Here's a great example of this happening to a friend:
Friend - "Listen, Phoenix, if you are going to subject me to 115+ in the summer, you don't also get to put me though 30 degree temps in the winter. Pick a climate."
Liberal - "Looks like it's gonna respond to that with 24 tonight. This is payback for all of Arizona's damn conservatives denying climate change."
Libertarian - "I hardly consider it payback. I rather enjoy it. 
GG on calling it climate change. Nice to see that global warming is finally dead."
Liberal - "Well, because it's not just warming, it's bigger extremes. So warmer summers and colder winters, and wider swings back and forth. The overall trend may or may not be that of warming."
Libertarian - "Or it is a natural periodic event. There is hardly enough evidence to make a claim one way or another.
Man has two responsibilities: 1) Respect the environment and 2) not to incite panic with unfounded claims.
Best to reserve one's warning..."
I cut him off there because he goes on for four more fucking paragraphs. This is the exact guy I meant when I threatened to stab anyone in the throat, by the way.
But he's not the only one who does it. This shit has to stop. Facebook is ever so slightly better for discussing this shit than your average 10"x4" section of a car bumper, but not by much. Just let a joke be a fucking joke.
Also it's really cold in Arizona right now, he was right to post that status update.
Do you have family on the Book of Face? That's who I do my fightin' with.
