Question: When do you realize that the idols you have had for a long time are not the kind of people you would associate with face to face? The answer would be when you follow a famous Idols Facebook posts. It amazes me that people are so enthralled by their idols until they realize they aren't even on the same page as their idols or those they admire in the entertainment fields. Some of them have entire different outlooks on life that what you are passionate about.
For instance liking someones fan page who happens to debate politics as if their views were the only thing that mattered. That their views were the only ones that were correct because why? Because they are famous?? It amazes me that, people don't realize that some stars be it musicians or actors, are quite different from roles they play or have played in past.
They are who they are, and if their beliefs change your view of the characters they portray then it is your choice not to watch them. But why troll them? They are after all human as everyone on Facebook is except the cats and dogs and animals that have their own facebook pages.
I spent a good portion of my day debating the Pussy Riot situation / incident in Sochi and though I was on the side of the fence that the person I posted on was on also, that person pulled apart my view and twisted it as if to throw me on the other side of the fence. That was not something I enjoyed learning about this person who I had admired for their talent. I don't think it will stop me from listening to their music but dang gummit, my view of them as a person showed me what an angry attitude they retain about people in general. And I use to think Henry Rollins was an angry person.. this one seems to put Henry to shame.
For someone who loves animals and human rights I could not understand the double standards of sending someone to the other side of the fence.
My view still is that Pussy Riot girls were lucky to not have gotten worse beating, because normally protesters are beat to a pulp not only in Russia but in many countries on the brink of revolutions. The girls have guts and stand for what they believe, I admire people who will stand up to authority and Govt. because Govt to me are the enemy. But that's my personal view. I don't let it consume me from the moment I get up til I go to bed. I want to enjoy life what freedoms we do still have.
Oh and people need to get over the fact that not all their favorite actors are going to be soft spoken respecting citizens. Some of them like to get out there and raise some hell and Cuss like sailors. There are those I accept for who they are and others that I now just ignore based on the people they are. Now if they are darn right arrogant pricks, obviously I would not spend time reading their posts or tweets. Ill keep following my regulars for the smart things they post. And recognize their talent as actors. I will not follow those that try to rip each person a new one when they post on their fan page with goodness in their heart. (meaning posting from the good of the people side)
Probability : I can see me eventually getting a 2nd FB acct so I can take a break from the craziness that goes with it. Sometimes there is just too much info that I don't want to know. LOL
I knew it!: Arizona was the state of ignorance. It is confirmed in today's reading their protection of religious freedom giving them the right to actually discriminate on gender, race, job or anything that their religion doesn't believe in including choice of life partners.
