facebook reflections - osama edition

So, while I found that picture of Obama hilarious in my previous post... I did want to make it clear that I am simply laughing at the birth certificate comment.

Today I have learned a lot about my fellow facebook friends... many very different opinions about Osama Bin Laden's death. I've seen statuses that are very celebratory, thanking service members, others arguing that Obama took credit for the military's work, pro-Obama statuses, some that are trying to bring focus to the fact that God doesn't like us to kill... and quite a few opinionated discussions. No matter my opinion, what I find fascinating is that so many people think that their first reaction to this historic day MUST be the same as everyone else's... and they are willing to fight about how right their feelings are... in a public forum... crazy.

Me? I'll just watch, thank you.

  1. I'll just watch as well. I have learned facebook can be a very dangerous place to voice your opnion. I no longer do so.

  2. I agree 100%! I did start a word document of all the status updates I found entertaining, though.
