The issue here is not about discrimination. The issue is about free speech and what limits should be placed on it. I'm convinced everyone who has contributed to this thread cares about people and equality.
I've gotten to the point that I only look at Facebook once or twice a week. It's been months since I posted anything on my newsfeed. I just peeked at my account. The newsfeed is already clogged with people posting comments about why they support gun control or why they support gun rights. They haven't even buried the bodies yet from the Las Vegas massacre! Can't people just respect the solemnity of the tragedy and take a collective breather from the debates and the vitriol?
The in-your-face attitude of so many people today with their political views is what's grinding my gears.
It's about both free speech and discrimination.
I don't use Facebook except for my office/business.....so I'm not troubled by it but I do agree that people are a lot more vocal about politics than in the old days. Only the 'grown ups' talked on it in the past and that was usually after the kids went to bed.
You are correct in that no sooner did this hit the news and both sides started using it to make political points.
