Minor rant

The election ... I don't want to go on about it, but I do have a minor rant.

Facebook has really made this election unpleasant for me, I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'm not really impressed with open and explicit generalisations of 'everyone is an idiot if you don't agree with me" type status updates or "friends don't let friends vote for .....", Another loathe is the "if such-and-such gets in, I'm leaving the country". I had the right and responsibility to vote towards the outcome of one electorate out of 150, as did all eligible Australians and by our powers combined there is a hung parliament, I just can't listen to anymore whinging on Facebook, everyone had their say when they voted, now please, can we have a little shush? Facebook isn't the place, if you want to have a rant - get a blog.
It is so nice to confide in you xx

Ditch facebook. Do it. You'll be so glad. I did, for months, but I think I might have logged in again briefly... I don't know if I even remember my password... I digress.

I didn't need an election to put me off it, status updates are almost always whinges!

As for your 'friends' who are leaving the country if xyz get in - get it in writing... ;)

That's exactly what I wanted to say!
Well done.
I don't blog, facebook, or tweet my political preferences. It's my own private business!
