Announcement 2020 Update: Political and Politically Charged Content Not Allowed

[Kiki]

Can’t we all just get along . We are not always going to agree on everything. But we can still be friend

Unfortunately no but that is ok.

Do not like that message? It isn't in any way meant to be political. It means no hate, ever. I don't care weather you are white or black, Pro Trump or Pro Biden. Hate has no home here with me.

Ummmm, no. I was saying it’s not political to me and the chicken is cute. Sorry it wasn’t clear enough.

Got it, sorry. I must have read it wrong.

Another poll, @Kiki : "where would you go if you had a teleporter?"

To find some Checkers/Rally’s or, in all seriousness, probably Europe or Australia or the Rockies or something lol I’d use it to see the world super fast and then be home for dinner

Hey y’all...can we reflect on “Perspective”? It is different for everyone. Two people can watch the same interaction/incident happen at the very same time but have two opposing perspectives of that incident or interaction afterwards. Two people will never have entirely identical perspectives. I don’t think that someone’s avatar should be in question unless it clearly expresses hate, racism, violence, etc. I’ve seen someone here commenting & trying to report another members avatar because it’s “Trump”...that’s toeing the line. Is Trump committing a violent act in that photo? Are there words on that avatar that convey some type of deviant message? No? Ok, then what about avatars of Obama? Or Bush? Very murky area we’re getting into by picking apart photos of a human being. Can someone use an avatar with Chris Brown? He’s a domestic abuser & I don’t support that. John Travolta? Apparently he had drug abuse problems and possibly sexually assaulted and/or raped massage therapists in his employ. See how getting into images that don’t actually visualize hate, violence, racism etc can become a debate without end???
How about we focus on words, comments, post conversations?? We need to censure our words! What is spoken is what we need to regulate. Don’t comment or reply to someone if it’s only negative and doesn’t provide knowledge or support. If it’s not positive and does not offer a learning/teaching moment, then keep it to yourself and go vent your emotions in a different place.
I truly try to relate to my fellow human beings with respect, care, love, tolerance, & forgiveness. When it comes to race, religion or other potentially touchy beliefs...I expect for you to respect my beliefs in the same way I will respect yours, even when our beliefs are opposing ones. We do not have to believe the same thing, agree to disagree. Teach me. Educate me on the beliefs you have that I don’t seem to understand. Don’t push though & don’t get angry if I choose to believe something different. Just respect that we believe different things and I will treat you the same. If we cannot agree or practice respect then practice “Tolerance” and move on!

If you don't want to read it SKIP IT or move on. It's that simple.

No complaining.

I wasn't complaining.

(I'm going to be nice about this. I could just say "shut up". But I'm not going to.)

Ok ok ok ok ok, my phone died, it took like 12 hours to charge , and I come back to 24 more pages to this thread

take it as you wish!!! i’m not going to put @Kiki in the middle because she is way more cordial than I but given your recent behaviors i can almost 100% guarantee she’d side with me over you ANYTIME

wait, isn’t that going against the, “we don’t take sides” thing?

I made it to the end. With out popcorn. 16 pages. Is there a reward?

hah I beat you. 24 pages without movie theater candy (from the dollar store, y’all know I can’t afford the expensive stuff )

make a poll! Do you like driving!?

Sorry to butt , but I hate it. Hate hate hate it. You should make a “HATE HATE HATE” choice @Kiki on your poll

Yay!!!

and one heck yeah!?

I do! Especially on rainy nights so peaceful

HOW??? I’m so paranoid I’m going to hydroplane into a semi truck I have night

 

[eggsandhens]

Also, I’m going to breakfast, can’t wait to come back to 29 more pages of responses

...... There's another thread out there where the immediate political response from one of the posters is so factually inaccurate that its FB meme worthy - in fact, its an FB meme I've been correcting on friend's FB feeds which I suspect as the likely source of the misinformation. Not commenting to correct it took a small act of will. (Mostly, deciding I need afresh cup of coffee).

Some Users went ahead and commented anyways - it quickly veered into more political territory. Normally, I'd cheer on an informed, engaged electorate - but not here. BYC's porch, BYC's rules. My chickens don't care about my gender, politics, skin color, marital status, socio-economic status, faith, handedness, or any of the other labels which badly describe parts of me. So I try to leave them out of my posts, as irrelevant. As do, thankfully, most users. My chickens care about their labels even less.

Is there anything that a fresh cup of coffee doesn't help?

FB...I rarely interact there and have been avoiding FB all together since life turned upside down. Can't begin to imagine what it's turned into. You are braver than I.

You've just have to regulate who you friend/follow/listen to on FB....
.....like any place on the internet, including BYC.
