I am kind of annoyed right now, I have to vent and the person that is bugging me doesn't read my blog, so I think it is safer to do it here. I was on MY pintrest pinning things that interest me. Some of which had to do with politics. This morning on faceboook a follower of my piintrest board had this to say
"I am glad that some people have such strong beliefs that they want to share with others. And although I don't want people "preaching" their political beliefs to me, I will tolerate the facebook posts because everyone has the right to post that. But pinterest? Really? It isn't enough that I have to see all the mudslinging on facebook, now I have to see pictures and propaganda on pinterest? Pinterest is supposed to be for collecting ideas, not spreading propaganda. I think it has gone too far."
Now I know that is wasn't aimed at me directly but I am pretty sure that is where she saw it. Here is my issue with it. ITS MY PINTREST BOARD!! I can PIN what INTERESTS me. hence the name!! Wether is be food, clothes, homeschooling or POLITICS!!! If you don't like it, don't read it, don't follow me!! I don't really care!! but I shouldn't have to not pin things that I like because it might offend you! I was not preaching....I don't care what you believe, but don't tell me what to pin and not pin!!
And then you can say whatever you like and if I reply with my opinion, it would cause a war. So I won't, I know better than to start something that isn't worth fighting over. But it is terribly annoying that they think they can have an opinion on what I pin. People post about religion and homeschool, health and all kinds of things that might not appeal to everyone. Do we have to start worrying about what everyone else thinks before we pin it??? Totally not cool!!
Whew, I need to take a deep breath and let it go.......
P.S. please don't get offended at this post, I can't take any more people telling me I can't have an opinion!!!
Ok, I'm all better now! :)

You're so funny - "there, i'm all better now." :) Of course you're right - you should be able to PIN whatever INTERESTS you. I've never even looked at pintrest - i'm glad i'm of the "older" generation that doesn't really get all that! :) Nothing wrong with sticking up for yourself.
I don't blame you one bit for your frustration. Pin those politics until your little clicker finger bleeds! ;-) Which reminds me, I need to follow you!
Too late Kristen - I am offended :) By the way - what a darling family picture you guys have with your new little guy. You have hands down the cutest kids ever!

You - have an opinion?! Nope, sorry, can't do it. I double think things I post on facebook because I don't want to hear back from people on my own opinion, but haven't thought about it on pinterest. PIN to your hearts desire.
AMEN SISTER! You tell 'em! Some people just have no thing better to do than to find something to complain about. ANd for those people who are "Getting tired" of this "political stuff"...they need to get their head out of the dirt and look around. Pretty soon their whole lives could be run by the government and THEN they will care but it will be too late and they won't be able to do a darn thing about it because when it DID matter they were too busy worrying about what other people were pinning on their pinterest boards! Just sayin... :)
I agree with you! Pin away! If it offends them it's their own fault... and everyone has that an opinion! Duh! That's why it's OURS... I don't agree with everything everybody posts, including you, and probably you with some I do. But WHO CARES? It's ours... I didn't know you had pinterest... what's your user???
So I can follow you???
And by the way... I would totally UNFRIEND. that friend... cause I'm twelve like that!
