No Comment


To say I am frustrated at this point would be an understatement.

The following topics will elicit no comment from me from here on out.

Childhood vaccinations
Autism induced by vaccinations
Abortion
Gay marriage/Gay rights
Gun control
Alternative medicine
Illegal immigration
Neurodiversity
Prenatal testing and resulting eugenics
plus a whole host of topics that I can't even remember right now, I am so pissed.

Why?

Here's why. I am sick to death of being lambasted by someone for having an opinion and expressing it openly. Who are the someones in question? You name it. A friend, an e-friend, a stranger on the Internet, a relative, a neighbor. Lambaste me no more, because I have no opinions.

I am tired of arguing with people who have closed their minds. I have been accused of blindly trusting my government because I had my kids vaccinated, told that guns don't kill people, taken to task for asking if I should tell my son he is autistic, told that fearing eugenics is just plain silly. I have been argued with over Gay marriage and rights by people who honestly and truly believe that homosexuality is not inherent, that it is a choice and that said people must live with their choices--that they just have to accept that they are not equal. I was told that a mother who has an abortion when she already has children should simply kill her existing children if she can't afford another child.

This is why I have No Comment. One has no comments when one has no opinions. It's just easier this way.

  1. well, you can always delete those comments, at least online. Save the opinions for those of us who can actually discuss and agree or agree to peacefully disagree.

  3. It gets tiring. Reckon that's why people used to say the two topics you never should discuss are politics and religion? It sure seems like there's lots more topics that get people seriously hot under the collar.
