im about to erase you as a friend due to you really caring about worthless shit day after day what happen to funny tim?

What to do? :(

I don't want to be that guy saying "I told ya so" because I want RP to win, but it almost seems like our country needs to collapse, and maybe then...then they will wake up and say, "Tim was right. Ron Paul was right. I wish I had listened." But it will be too late, then.

Heh. I'd erase him, to be honest. If he thinks the future of this country is worthless, then he is out to lunch.

History will prove you and Ron Paul right. At that point you will be able to say I told you so.

Let them go. Tell them: "I'm sorry to hear that you are about to delete me as a friend, but if you are so filled with haste towards me because of my posts then I'm probably better off without you as a friend. I wish you the best in your life. Take care."

Just my 2 cents.

Philosophy_of_Politics

10-12-2011, 09:34 PM

I'd tell him.

"That politics isn't 'worthless shit,' because as a member of this society you're directly impacted by any political decisions made. This is why it's important to know the truth regarding our Constitution, our Politicians, and Politics in general. Not taking it seriously can cause a lot of issues, just look at the country today. How many people do you think actually care about politics? Not that many, do you think it's possible that not caring about politics is why it got to this point to begin with?"

A real friend wouldn't say that to you. They may say they disagree, more likely say nothing at all.. But never say they would stop being your friend. Not over something like this...

Sentinelrv

10-12-2011, 09:35 PM

I've learned to stop caring what people think about me so much and to just live what I believe. I know it's hard sometimes, but I would suggest that you at least make an attempt to explain to him that this is something that's very important to you and if he still doesn't care.......well, there's not much you can do about that. If people don't want to accept you for you, just let it go and move on.

You could say you are just trying to make the world a better place. I understand how you feel and am glad you posted it here instead of on FB. Sometimes it's good to vent. I feel that everyone can relate to RP on some topic but not everyone is willing to admit that. Hardly anyone wants more government control or less freedom... but these are complex ideals that take time to understand. Teach by example and in practial situations. One by one we will educate a critical mass... which is actually less that one might think.

Hang in there. The fight for freedom is long and hard.

I say screw him, he's sounds too artificial "if you're not going to make me laugh, I don't want to be your friend."

Worthless shit, go to China and enjoy your freedoms... just pisses me off. I regret joining the army, risk my life, and fighting for a county of losers like him who could give 2 rats about me, but only cares about partying. :mad:

We are your friends, Tim! Screw that guy! I have absolutely lost that mechanism in my brain that cares! Here's what I do: It's called the sandwich method, courtesy of my husband. I use this in every aspect of my life. On Facebook, I do this: Share Ron Paul, Share something stupid, Share Ron Paul, Share something stupid, Share Ron Paul, Share something stupid!!!

You have to have friends who will respect you for speaking your mind. That's one of my defining features, and everyone I know knows it. They love me for it, they hate me for it, but they're still my friends.

Some of my friends see it as a positive that I can tell people what I believe without giving a shit about the repercussions, social or otherwise.

Let me guess, he isn't that type of friend who you can trust to come jump your car in the middle of the night?

You have more tolerance than I do, I would've said he can do as he pleases, I don't need any fake friends anyways.

If he's a close friend, you may want to ignore or shoot back saying something like "I am sorry you feel that way. But complacent thinking has helped get us into this mess, and it not only affects me, but you and your family also."

That's my basic response to people who look at me like I'm crazy or who don't want to hear "old white man talk" (politics). I think a lot of us on here have grown to ignore people like this and move on. Tell them the basics and let them carry what they will, we did our job, it's up to them to do something with the information.

Sorry people are running into nonsense like this.

Agree with your facebook friend. It's the first step in getting a vote. He or she is doing us all a big favor as are you by posting about the problem.

Tell your friend that you are really concerned about America as you are aware that freedom, opportunity and prosperity is rapidly disappearing. Then ask your friend an open question like what they would do if they knew that? Ask them what they would post or not post on facebook, get them involved and listen to what they say.

It's true ignorance is bliss. Knowing what I know now does not make life easier, though it does make it easier to prepare for bad times to come.

How you communicate matters. I try not to alienate people or beat them over the head with political ads or things I think REASONABLE people might consider "worthless." When I do facebook, I try to stick to issues/news stories that I think any normal human being would relate to or be outraged about. That's just how I choose to communicate. I post a lot of police brutality and death penalty type stuff. I get a lot of good responses. One of my relatives is a cop. I got into it some with him and his wife on some things, but more often than not I have him softening his defenses and admitting that he agrees a lot with my small govt philosophy.

I'm not sure what the "worthless" stuff is or how the approach is- so i can't really comment if it's worth caring about that "friend" or not. I just know when I stick to the issues and easy stuff to relate to, I am very assertive and opinionated but don't lose any friends. I'm not posting constant candidate political ads or conspiracy stuff or coming off like a cult worshiper, though. There's enough outrageous stuff in the "mainstream" that can be connected to the preferred political course to have to worry about even touching stuff that's going to run people off.

Yes, I only post these on my wall for anyone who is interested. I don't push anything on anybody.

And regarding my "funny" side. I've never changed. I use facebook, though, as a way to share knowledge of RP and liberty and that's it. I don't share every damn thing about my personal life with people I don't hang out with anymore, because I don't think people need or want to know that I ate at taco bell and took a huge shit afterwards. And let's be honest here. How many libertarians do you know that aren't fun to hang out with anyway? My "friend" is just out of his element. He probably thinks I'm trashing his messiah obama when I post RP stuff.
