It would seem lately that there are a lot of divisive issues out there. There are issues we might have never thought about before, even in a million years. There are things we feel strongly about; and there are those we would die for.
I was recently called a "stupid, ignorant skeptic" for saying that I was not going to get the H1N1 vaccine. My reason has nothing to do with media hype or even religious conviction. I simply choose to opt out because I've gotten the flu 3 out of 5 times after receiving the seasonal flu shot. I'm just sayin' I wouldn't go to Vegas with those odds. I wasn't trying to persuade anybody one way or the other. I was simply stating my own personal reason for making my own personal choice. Living under the good 'ol stars and stripes allows me said choice. If I get the H1N1 virus, I accept full responsibility. I will also do the responsible thing and STAY HOME.
Really!?! Stupid and ignorant?
If there are going to be issues out there that divide us, let's at least be divided over issues that matter. And let's do it without resorting to name calling.

I am right there with you. I do not get any type of flu shot for the exact same reason and this one is no different. I have had the same reaction from people and it is very frustrating. It's not like I am in any of the high risk categories where I could die from it, ugh!!!
