Secondly, whoever asked you that hurtful question is kind of a douche. You could easily answer their question, but why bother? What a dumb question it was to begin with. Thirdly: YES! I think banning toys from fast food joints is a slippery slope and smacks of prohibition, almost. You can't ban food, you can't ban freedom. It goes against what this country is about. Amen and thank you. :-)Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12162110766373517916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7670512488001349318.post-23399889480066768872010-11-11T12:10:59.395-07:002010-11-11T12:10:59.395-07:00Libby, some people are just out looking for a figh...Libby, some people are just out looking for a fight. I see it over and over again with blog posts and editorials. It seems like you cannot just have an opinion anymore with out someone picking apart everything you say and assuming you are for or against a bigger cause. I recently wrote that I wished Oprah would change up her magazine cover which automatically turned me into an Oprah hater. It's not what I said and not what I meant.

It's ridiculous really. I don't socialize online to fight with people or be belittled so I don't get other people's intentions to judge. Just toast the idiots and ask for them to find some intelligence or humanity somewhere and live your life your way.

I didn't think the comments were bad at all. Sure there were the usual strays, the Conspiracy Moms, the Organic Mafia, the San Francisco Nazis, the Conservative Corps, whatevs. Nobody pays any attention to them.<br /><br />Maybe comments always sound way worse to the writer than to the reader? Everyone once in a while there's an evil troll who makes us all go, <br />Holy Hell, but I don't think you did badly at all in the comments section.<br /><br />So I say, Good Job.

What possesses a person to attack someone personally for their opinions and views like that? Is it that they feel they can act like a douche with impunity because it's the internet? "Hey, this is great--I can be a dick and no one can stop me!" Are they really nice people in real life? I think they must be or else we'd be tripping over douches much more than we already are.
