Nope.
Never.

Outrage is required where it is required. But it's not required every single day. Believe me when I tell you that a day without the news, facebook and outrage gives you rest and rejuvenation. |

Oh FFS. Give it a rest. Did that post really make you feel better? If so, you're a crotchety old biddy. |

What is it about this message board that the validity of a statement depends on whether or not you like the person making it? That type of logic is so flawed it's ridiculous. Of course, we all know how the Peas love "gotcha" moments and if they can be the first to do it they feel as if they've won the lottery.
For those like Carhoch who feel that way, let's not ever forget the poor woman who died on 2Peas and all the "gotcha" peas were screaming bullshit and being ugly. Turns out the person really had died and her relative was posting about it. Remember how bad you felt about being such asses the next time you feel the need to play the "gotcha" game.

Then again, maybe you're one of those people who live for being upset. If that's the case, go for it. As for me, I'll take my privilege as you call it and opt for a day off from outrage and ill feelings now and again. |

Yet you created an entire new thread because of the posts on the other one (Trump disrespecting (again) McCain). Pot meet kettle. Or hypocrite. You choose. Seeing a pattern here on this board---it's okay to do exactly what you're bashing others for doing if you're Republican/conservative-I guess it's okay to come out condescending and sanctimonious and all handslappy. |

Outrage and drama drive me crazy! Several people I work with are all about the drama. I wear my headphones a lot so I don't have to hear them worrying all day about nothing The political outrage is why I've stopped watching late night TV and why I have so many people blocked here. I'm here for fun and relaxation, not to continually be upset and raged. |

As for me, I'll take my privilege as you call it and opt for a day off from outrage and ill feelings now and again. That's fine, we do all have different callings in life. I work for children who need more opportunities than life has offered them. This job requires a bit of fire in the belly and if I was not outraged by the inequities in their worlds I would not be good at my job. I am a joyful person and I enjoy life and work, good friendships with many people, but I am a person with at least a little influence in life and would go to bat for those kids every day of the week and twice on Wednesdays. |

Well, well, well...looky here who just riled her panties up in a bunch for some good ol' moral outrage. Let's not forget you bashing another pea--what just a week or so ago--bringing her child into the fray as a means to demean, ridicule and bully her?? You are disingenuous at best and can just go take your righteous, sanctimonious, hand slappy self and go fuck off. |

Not lately, nope.
The problem with taking time off from outrage is when you come back there's more to be outraged at. Kind of like ignoring your inbox while on vacation and coming back to work to find 600 emails.
I went on a church retreat a few weeks ago and was "out of touch" for several days. When I got back home I had several days worth of trump's idiocy that I had to catch up on. So really it's easier just to do a daily dose of outrage rather than to pile several days' worth all in one day.

If it is the news and Facebook that causes you to be out raged, this may be a sign of privilege. Every word this. I’m confused by the highlighted comment. Actually this entire thread has me confused. The news and social media make me irritated some days, outraged sometimes but mainly I just shake my head in disbelief, confusion and sorrow at the goings on in this country. Being outraged everyday is not healthy for me. |

Nothing will convince me that people like Zingermack or the papercutter, who are angry every single day have lives filled with joy. And I know a great many people who do what you claim to do, help others who don't feel the need to be on a perpetual merry-go-round of anger and outrage. |

Do you have anything at all to add to the thread? Seriously, can you do nothing but take swipes at the person you have decided in your head I am? You follow me around for the sole purpose of making inane comments. What a wonderful board experience you must have.

Oh well, if people feel that they simply must be outraged all the time for the next four years, that's their problem. No skin off my nose. But then, keep in mind that that constant state of anger and upset leads to a decreased immune system. Think cancer, stroke, heart attack. No matter how much you rant, Trump will be president for the next 3+ years and I'm betting another 4 after that. If you can sustain the anger that long, more power to you.
