Stupid People Suck

For the record, This is a VENT!!

There, now that I have that little "disclaimer" out in the open, here it goes!!

So, as I have previoulsy addmitted too, I am a BBC addict. That said normally I really enjoy my time spent on that site. I really enjoy having a place to go and "chat" with other LDS ladies, learn some new things, listen to new ideas, etc. But lately it seems that I have been setting myself up for trouble. I seem to be "drawn" to threads that are going to get me in trouble! I find it really sad, and extrememly irritating when people are so closed minded, and naive about life in general. Just because you choose to live in a little bubble does not mean that the rest of of world does or that they should have too.

So, here is the "real" story as to why I am so pissed. 1st of all, I should never have clicked on this thread, "Spin off: The Duggar's, and Plan B". Just the title alone should have been a HUGE red flag for me, NOT to open, read, and post...but feeling optomistic, and confident in my "grown upness" to not get sucked into something that was going to get ugly...I read, and posted. Then someone esle posted, and then another...here is where it gets..."sticky". This person, posted stating their opinion, fine, I felt it was closed minded, and narrow, and well kind of stupid, but I held my tongue. With all my being all I wanted to do was tell them how wrong they were...but I didn't. I came here to my own little sactuary to scream and yell and be as right as I want to be.

So, here is the deal with Plan B...it's a Emergency Contraceptive. Key word here EMERGENCY. It is not supposed to replace or be used in place of traditional birth control. This other poster who we will call..."Bob"...did not seem to grasp this simple concept. I am not saying that birth control is for everyone, or that it should be used by everyone. But to dictate how something should or should not be used is stupid in my opinion. And luckily, my opinon is the only one that matters here! Yeah ME!! Anyhow, reading the posts that Bob was making just kept putting my back up, KWIM? I just do not understand how people can choose to be so naive, and judgemental. I mean not every chick that needs to use a product like Plan B went out and got drunk and had irresponsible and reckless sex the night before. And to assume so, is stupid and worng. And to assume that every Dr. is going to be willing to prescribe such a thing is not only naive, but extremely stupid as well. I love my OB, I think that he is the best ever! Would never change unless he died, and then, I do not know where I would go. That said, I know that there are somethings that he will not prescribe, or do. I know that he will never prescribe an IUD, or preform a abortion, or tie my tubes. He feels that these are for the most part "morally" wrong. The "tie tubes" thing is more of the hospital choice than his I think!! But I know that he would never prescribe something like Plan B. He just doesn't believe that they are "moral", he feels that every pregnancy is a blessing, and so forth. While I am sure that there are some exceptions to this rule of thought, I am only speaking to what I know.

So, to assume that my Dr would give this drug to me is absurd. To make it difficult to get only forces other options to be explored. While I would never have an abortion, that does not say that someone else would choose otherwise, and it's not my place to make a choice or judge them either way. I know that when I "needed" this option, I had to go to Planned Parenthood to get it, and it would have been easier to just have an abortion than to get this "Emergency Contraceptive". Sad, but true. Plus you have to take into account the hospital ER as well. I am not to sure that unless I was raped or some such horrible thing would I have been able to get this Rx at my local hospital being that it is a CATHOLIC hospital, and we all know how they *the Catholic church* feels about Any kind of birth control.

Well, glad that I got that all out of my system, better here than on some stupid message board right? I guess my lesson learned is this, People who choose to remain naive and intollerent are then choosing to be ingnorant. And these are people who you can not reason with nor can you try and change their silly views.
