WHY? WHY do I take the bait?

[bird_dog0347]

After the shootings yesterday I see all these posts about gun control and shit. I'm usually able to ignore them as I realize I cannot make them understand my point of view nor will I ever agree they are correct, so I just move on. But fuck man, shit! Every now and then someone I care about (usually a different person) will pipe up with some dumb ass uneducated bullshit about their opinion and I will just have to speak up. Now I'm down in the trenches fighting something I cannot change!

How does everyone else avoid the troll bait, and how do you avoid it after you've had a few?

Ive been unfriended at least once for replying "are you fucking retarded?"

I never post, or reply to shit like that on FB, you never know how it can come back to bite you in the ass one day! Even if you are right, it gets twisted around.

<-- no longer on FB, deactivated account in August, have not missed it one bit

Except that it is up to the intelligent people to educate the dumb ones whenever possible. Otherwise, the stupidity will continue to grow like a cancer.

When the educated is the minority, the majority of dumbass think they're smart. You can't win. You just have to let stupid motherfuckers like that learn on their own.
