How often do you self-censor? Is it hard to bite your tongue?

I'm the sort of person who has trouble not saying what they think. It just rolls right off my tongue. That's not always a good thing. Learning to nod and grin would often be in my benefit, but I find it difficult to do.

How about you?

Hundreds of times a day on all issues, I see it as my way of being kind, I am not argumentative by nature and if the matter/issue is not of any importance, I just gloss over it.
Luckily I don't take any great notice because some of the things I ignore are just ridiculous.

I'm the same as you.

I work with a lot of religious Trump supporters, and I have to tune them out all the time. It is harder and harder for me to hold back.

Talk about a definition of hell!

My condolences..

Yup, I tend to say what I mean, but that's not always good.

Luckily, I'm living in Thailand, so it's easier to keep quiet...I'm not fluent enough in Thai to rant.

But if I'm really ticked off, say, at some Thai man man-spreading into my seat space on a crowded bus, I yell in languages he doesn't know, such as Creole, or English, to be safe.

One (high?) Thai man kept toppling sideways into me on a songtheaw bus, as though by accident, groping at me, and I gave him a hard shove, setting him upright while yelling in English, "Stop leaning on me. Sit up!"

A Thai woman indicated a place next to her, so I changed seats, but the man complained loudly in Thai the rest of the trip about people speaking in English so he couldn't understand, and why didn't I speak in Thai like everyone else, etc. The rest of the bus passengers were Thai women, and they ignored him.

I'd say often. I'd fucking be cursing every other word if I didn't. And I work for a conservative company in a conservative state. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a fucking right wing douche nozzle or a TV tuned in to Fox news. I've thought about bailing and moving to a blue state but damn, Kansas needs all the liberals it can get.

I feel much the same about Georgia. I have to stay and represent. LOL

More power to you Sir.

Well that makes two of us in this idiotic state.

awww, you gotta gawddamn free yerself here - this is fuckin agnostics.com 🙂

I live in Arizona and it's the same here and I stay for the same reason plus I'm too old to move.

I know what you mean. I just can't seem to escape all the fucking liberal asshats in my area. I just make a hobby of triggering the shit out of them.

The snowflakes are everywhere especially the gun toting ones around here.

Mother's side of the family is from western Kansas around Dodge. Went to high school in Wichita so I know of what you speak although it wasn't as bad then as it is now. The Republicans weren't as mentally ill then. @evestrat @sewchick57 @Fearlessfreep I definitely feel your pain and am willing to send you as much electronic support as possible but there's no fucking way I'm moving back!

Why do hate? I have left wingers, and I don't hate.

Yeah, when I read new age religious nonsense posted here I bite my tongue usually. Let it go, Dave, let it go, I say to myself. Same goes for some right wingers here too.

Hahaha! This is funny. I was out with a friend tonight and were talking about this very thing. I really have almost no filter. People have literally said about me that you just never know what I might say. Sometimes I think back on things I've said and really feel a little embarrassed by how inappropriate I can be.

Nowadays, I say whatever, don't really give a shit anymore.
