I kinda see both sides of it. Unfortunately LIF has become very negative and mean and I rarely come on LIF anymore because it's no longer the helpful uplifting place it once was. People have vastly different ideologies that they are very passionate about and there is rarely a reasonable and constructive discussion (from both sides). It's like all or nothing with people.
I don't believe in censoring anything and people should post what they want of course. But I hadn't been on here in awhile and I go to the boards one day and all I see from anti-Trumpers is "you are a disgusting person" (in several different forms) and "your privilege is showing" (the general fallback)
I agree. I have to say my very very favorite is the your privilege is showing !!! I'd say more than half of the posters are SAHM's, not even with babies, but with school age children. They don't work, so they have the time to post on here all day long. They live on Long Island, one of the most expensive places in the country. They all have SUV's, more than one, because you as soon as you have one kid you have to have that gas guzzling SUV!! They live in houses, and my guess would be large ones of 3 bedrooms and more than one bath. They can go to Disney at least once a year. Have these absurd parties for their children, who are also in a slew of after school sports and activities. If that isn't PRIVILEGE, I don't know what the hell is! Stop being hypocrites. Maybe people will want to post again.
Whoa there. Way to stereotype basically everyone on this entire message board. That was one of the most obnoxious comments I've ever seen on here. You sound super ignorant too.

It doesn't matter if you are privileged and say "your privilege is showing." That's not the point. You can be privileged, yet still recognize that you have that privilege.
I recognize that I am privileged, not to the way you describe (no house, no SAHM, no SUV). But I'm not going to use the pick yourself up by your bootstraps argument. That's not recognizing your privilege. Big difference.

If I didn't work I'd go out of my mind. I like contributing to society and taking care of myself, so no, I'm not jealous.

I am not bothered by what you said in the least. I'm content in the choice I made to give up my career so I could be home full time with my children. No regrets. I just think you sound like a complete nasty b1tch with a chip on her shoulde which is why I commented. Reading your response, I see I was correct.

And you think this is the most obnoxious comment you have ever read on this board????!!!! That is certainly not true. I find comments you make to be nastier than I'll ever be. Too bad I can't get the search function to work. But in any case. I agree with OP, enough already, so I'll stop. But I really would love to see the privileged here put their money where their mouth is. Open up your homes to people in need, literally. Volunteer at organizations you believe in. Donate the extra money that goes to non necessities to people and organizations in need .

Re: Enough already!
Ya know I was going to stay away
But yea that comment
My twins go to preschool 2 and a half hours a day. I sit on my dam ass and watch tv while they do.
And I've earned it. I'm a good mom. I'm a mom who never ever gets to be out. Never. 4 years old.weve never had a date night. And that's ok.
And yea I live on long island. We moved here 2 years ago after saving for many years living in a room. 1 room. No kitchen etc. with two kids
Took longer bc we spent all of our lifelong savings to have kids through iv f
Also our saving stopped growing so much when I quit my job to take care of my paralyzed from a stroke mother.
We have two cars. Just got a new one bc at 35 I just got my license. And I'm dam
Proud of myself
I'm debating going to Disney this year with my kids for. First time simply bc it would be really fun
My daughter takes dance and has zero rhythm whatsoever. She's god awful and has no grace but she loves it
My son has music class and loves it.
Thy both take gymnastics bc they have not stopped leaping off my furniture since thy could walk. So now we pay other people to deal with it
We also have birthday parties. Big fun Pinterest filled ones bc I'm be antichrist
You think you know me. You have no clue. Make your assumptions. I'll enjoy reading them on my couch from 12-230 mon-fri while eating something that should be a rice cake but smells more like Doritos
Again. I've earned it.

Re: Enough already!
The search function is working. At least for me it it.
No one needs to comment on their privilege. I've a ton of it. Just admit you have it. I mean I travel all the time. I drink nice wine in the evening with some nice food, etc. You get the point.

I don't think anything went over my head. And you just keep adding to your pile of snotty assumptions. Your assumptions and marginalization of SAHMs and everyone on here is crazy.
And I don't think I have been nasty or said anything that wasn't factual. If I have ever been nasty and hurt someone, I would apologize. Which I would do if I were you.
You don't know a damn thing about me by the way. FYI I am a part time working/part time SAHM of three kids from newborn to 7 years old. I work myself to the bone. I'm not all talk- I have volunteered. I have donated money and goods to a variety of causes I believe in. I have opened up my home to friends in need. What makes you so wonderful that you can assume and judge everyone here? I think you should get a clue before you start attacking people you know nothing about.

Re: Enough already!
People aren't beating a dead horse, talking about the same things over and over. They're keeping up with current events. The hits keep on coming.
One day a climate denier is suggested for the cabinet. The next day an anti-vax person is. The next day, it comes out that there's some basic aspect of how government works that he didn't know or understand. The next day it comes out that he's willing to alienate our old allies and provoke our enemies. Then he starts tweeting about nukes in the middle of the night. Won't even discuss the sexual assault talk and accusations. Each thing may lead people to the same conclusion--that he is scarily unfit to serve....but each thing is new. And fair game for people to react to when they learn of it.
So, no. There hasn't been a lot of  . There's been surprisingly little of it because each time people think they can't grow any more horrified, something new comes along and makes them forget the last thing.
So...even if you ARE in favor of censorship, do you want people to stop following along? To stop reacting? How do you want the censorship to work?

The next day it comes out that he's willing to alienate our old allies and provoke our enemies. Then he starts tweeting about nukes in the middle of the night. Won't even discuss the sexual assault talk and accusations. Each thing may lead people to the same conclusion--that he is scarily unfit to serve....but each thing is new. And fair game for people to react to when they learn of it.
So, no. There hasn't been a lot of . There's been surprisingly little of it because each time people think they can't grow any more horrified, something new comes along and makes them forget the last thing.
So...even if you ARE in favor of censorship, do you want people to stop following along? To stop reacting? How do you want the censorship to work?

Ya know I was going to stay away
But yea that comment
My twins go to preschool 2 and a half hours a day. I sit on my dam ass and watch tv while they do.
And I've earned it. I'm a good mom. I'm a mom who never ever gets to be out. Never. 4 years old.weve never had a date night. And that's ok.
And yea I live on long island. We moved here 2 years ago after saving for many years living in a room. 1 room. No kitchen etc. with two kids
Took longer bc we spent all of our lifelong savings to have kids through iv f
Also our saving stopped growing so much when I quit my job to take care of my paralyzed from a stroke mother.
We have two cars. Just got a new one bc at 35 I just got my license. And I'm dam
Proud of myself
I'm debating going to Disney this year with my kids for. First time simply bc it would be really fun
My daughter takes dance and has zero rhythm whatsoever. She's god awful and has no grace but she loves it
My son has music class and loves it.
Thy both take gymnastics bc they have not stopped leaping off my furniture since thy could walk. So now we pay other people to deal with it
We also have birthday parties. Big fun Pinterest filled ones bc I'm be antichrist
You think you know me. You have no clue. Make your assumptions. I'll enjoy reading them on my couch from 12-230 mon-fri while eating something that should be a rice cake but smells more like Doritos
Again. I've earned it.
You go girl.

People aren't beating a dead horse, talking about the same things over and over. They're keeping up with current events. The hits keep on coming.

Enough already!
I get that There are a lot of political posts. But to be honest, I appreciate then. I appreciate seeing different points of view, reading different perspectives. I also don't get the chance to stop and watch tv so in a way, the political posts help me stay informed. So thank you to the posters who post.
But if you are upset that there is a lot of anti trump threads, I say get used to it. America elected a reality tv game show host. Way to go!

I kinda see both sides of it. Unfortunately LIF has become very negative and mean and I rarely come on LIF anymore because it's no longer the helpful uplifting place it once was. People have vastly different ideologies that they are very passionate about and there is rarely a reasonable and constructive discussion (from both sides). It's like all or nothing with people.
I don't believe in censoring anything and people should post what they want of course. But I hadn't been on here in awhile and I go to the boards one day and all I see from anti-Trumpers is "you are a disgusting person" (in several different forms) and "your privilege is showing" (the general fallback)
I agree. I have to say my very very favorite is the your privilege is showing !!! I'd say more than half of the posters are SAHM's, not even with babies, but with school age children. They don't work, so they have the time to post on here all day long. They live on Long Island, one of the most expensive places in the country. They all have SUV's, more than one, because you as soon as you have one kid you have to have that gas guzzling SUV!! They live in houses, and my guess would be large ones of 3 bedrooms and more than one bath. They can go to Disney at least once a year. Have these absurd parties for their children, who are also in a slew of after school sports and activities. If that isn't PRIVILEGE, I don't know what the hell is! Stop being hypocrites. Maybe people will want to post again.
Whoa. Did you actually just type that??
Envy and jealousy are ugly traits. Just saying.

Oh Im pretty sure if Hillary won it wouldnt be that different from the other side...killary, emails blah blah. And Im sure Trump would be at the very forefront leading all of it. People are upset. They are venting. Its normal. Just as it would be if reversed seriously come on.
Ding ding!
You know what is funny....on MOST of the news outlet pages, and various Facebook pages, the MAJORITY of the comments are people STILL bashing liberals and HRC, saying comments like "glad crooked Hillary didn't win, and other incessant rhetoric. Their candidate won, and yet they are STILL miserable human beings.

And of all of the news sites I read (left leaning and right leaning), and all of the comments sections I see, the pro-Trump people have the most vile comments against anti-Trump/pro-Clinton people, and just people in general... The other side of the aisle aren't saints, but they don't seem to reach the levels of the pro-Trump people (again, I'm using pro-Trump to differentiate them from Republicans)
