I have to say, it really winds me up when people complain about what other people post on their own walls. Not talking about anyone in particular here, but Ive seen a lot of snarky things being said. If want to post pics of my meal, I will. Im a bloody good cook and Im proud of it, plus I think it helps to show other people how good vegan food can be. I get plenty of compliments and recipe requests, so I know its appreciated by plenty. If I wanna post pics of my kids, I will. They wont be kids forever and I like to make the most of them while they are, and keep a record along the way. Its natural for a parent to do this. If I wanna post pics of myself, I will. I have, and always have had, real issues with my self image, so if I think I look nice on any particular occasion, Ill document it. If I want to post a cute status about my man, I will. I dont do it often, but others do and good for them. If I want to post hundreds of pics of frogs, I will. I love frogs, and no-one bats an eyelid when its a bloody cat. If I want to post a rant about anybloodything, I will. It helps to write things down or just to get things said. Ill put ANYTHING I like on my own Facebook page, because it is MY Facebook page. If you dont like something, scroll on like I do. There are plenty of things that others post that irritate me, but unless its to me, about me, or affects me in any way, its none of my business. Similarly, I am vegan. Have been for years, and was vegetarian since my early teens. I understand that many of you eat meat, and when you post food pics, if it looks nice, (yes, I will be imagining a veganised version) I will say that it looks nice or Ill like your picture. What I wont do is go URGH! or MEAT IS MURDER or Poor moo cows :( on it, so Id appreciate it if you dont keep going EWW! or MMM BACON or Wheres the beef? on mine. Every. Single. Time. It wasnt funny 20 years ago, it wasnt funny 6 years ago, it wasnt funny last week, and it still isnt funny. In fact, when you keep doing it, its pretty disrespectful. This is to no-one in particular but a few of you do this, and I know (hope?) you dont mean anything by it, but thats how I feel. I will post the occasional post promoting veganism, because I would love to see more people turn vegan, or at least stop being so damn anti-vegan whilst reducing their intake of animal products. I know some of you are genuinely interested and ask genuine questions and thats fine. If youre not interested, then thats fine too, just scroll on. Im not interested in hearing what you think is wrong or unnatural about a plant based diet or how you once met someone who happened to be vegan who was a)unhealthy b)an asshole. Or both. I am atheist. I know that some of you are religious and thats your choice, but I make no secret of the fact that if I could click my fingers and eradicate all religions I would. I genuinely believe its holding back the human race and is one of the main causes of the pain and suffering in this world. So I will share stuff from atheist pages. Feel free to ignore it, as I do when some of you post god and jesus stuff. And Im not even sorry if the Physics-y stuff I post bores you. At all. Physics is awesome. I love science. So, yeah... that. If any of this stuff bothers you sooo badly that you dread my statuses, or if I manage to inadvertently upset you, please ask to discuss it with me privately or feel free to unfriend me, as this is MY Facebook account and I wont be tippy-toeing around anyone. Love and respect to you all. x
