The Election and Facebook

If you know me you know I am a Obama supporter. You will also know that on a daily basis 90% of the people I interact with are people that firmly believe that Obama is going to destroy our country. So after last night when Obama was declared president I went and changed my facebook status to: (and I Quote) "Josh Herrington is exclaming Ka-Flippin-Pow and dancing in the computer room." This was soon responded to by one of my friends. They said that i was an uniformed child who was didn't understand how bad this was for our country because i wasn't a christian. then she continued on to say that my status message was very offensive and should be changed. So in order to avoid losing a friend over this I promptly changed my status message. She thanked me and we dropped the issue and went on to speak of other things. However I log onto Facebook this morning and see this status message: "C***b is really not wanting to live in a socialist country ruled by someone w/ no experience who is elitist snob that befriends terrorists (Ayers)." And another status that read: "A*** ******A is wow our country is shot to hell. fuck obama." And another that read: "C****** *******R is congrats America, we just voted a Muslim over a war hero..." Wait it's not over yet, Here's one more: "C********* *******r is selling ticket to mecca, our new capital!!! Cheap Cheap!!!" And yet my comment was insensitive and rude and needed to be removed. Now Mind you I have no problem with the obama bashing status's. I believe it is their right to write whatever the hell they want. But my problem is that I wanted to exclame the happiness i felt through my status message. I did not laugh in Mcain supporters faces like i am sure they would have done to me if their candidate had won. No I merely said what i was doing at the time. So i guess the point i am trying to convey is that before you condemn someone for writing something think of why you are condeming it.
