It's not that I don't appreciate her stories but they always leave me thinking, "thank God she isn't my mother." We were talking about movies this morning. Well, it was mostly her talking I just mumbled along with a vacuum tube in my mouth. Anyways, she got on to Disney movies and how she didn't want to let her kids watch them because of the demonic imagery. The examples were Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog and the Wicked Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. What annoyed me was that she seemed to assume that I agreed with her. I am willing to bet that the vast majority of parents wouldn't hold such a radical position as she does. It is that insulated bubble that some people exist in that really bothers me and I realize that I've got a bubble of my own. It's just that sometimes after listening to her talk, I have to roll my eyes back and go, "really?"
She's nice, though. I swear. Really.

Whenever there's a movement or a group, there's another group who're pretty similar but hate them for being different.
Look here for moderate evangelical fundamentalists talking about how devout evangelical christians hate on other devout evangelical fundamentalists.
As they say, "Mainstream fundamentalism apparently consists of “my church.”"
I've seen atheist groups catfight with other atheist groups over whether atheism necessarily implies humanism. For the record, I think it doesn't.
And as for socialists...I used to follow the arguments of over a dozen groups, before realising they were in total less than a hundred people.
