She seems to only be okay with me disagreeing with her if it isn't on things she is passionate about (which from what I know is just illegal immigration of all things at this point).
I think she was offended since you said she has family here illegally.
(Maybe she is too, and you just don't even know it. ) That's her crusade. You're OK to have your own opinions, but in this case, she took things personally, because it is personal to her. Best to let that one be...
(I mean, unless you are one of those hell-bent Americans upset over illegal immigration....just let it go.
Find something better to be passionate about. lol )
-As for the friend of the friend, hells to the no, I would not be letting either of them crash at my house after all this drama. Gonna be cat-fight central.

Reason: dyslexic typo lol
Seriously. She needs to realize that the whole world doesn't have to agree with her.
You need to summon the self-respect to get rid of her, not only because of her churlish and childish attitude toward discussion, but because she badmouths you to her other friends and then has the audacity to tell you their nasty responses to her portrayal of you.
Who does any of this? People who are 15 and want attention. All of you need to grow up.
I personally wouldn't make a big deal out of it. I'd just sorta "phase out" the friendship.
Just become a little more busier to do things with her. IDK, maybe that would be sorta chickenish, but for me, it wouldn't be worth all of the aggravation.
Vicki is causing drama and angst, picks fights, and doesn't sound like a very good friend. I would walk away from that friendship rather than get involved in yet another of mini-dramas. Life is too short to put up with that.
Thanks for the tips. I will phase out the relationship. I actually feel bad about this one because as ridiculous as I felt she was, she actually is a friend that has always been there when I needed her and has always given me good advice (better than everyone else that I know).
We have been playing by ear her visiting but at this point, I will come up with something to say just not sure what.
Vicki is a drama queen and has admitted this many, many times. I really don't mind drama queens until it starts to feel like I'm being picked on.
I think everyone is entitled to their opinion, and also entitled to say what their opinion is. If your friend can't handle your opinion, then maybe it is time to find another friend. I have found that the better you know someone the more likely it is you will see things in that person you may not like. I have a friend who has always worked at a union job, so he loves the idea of anything to do with a union. I have owned my own company for 31 years, and the union is the last thing I would want involved with my business. The union has forced me to raise my own wages on certain jobs, making it harder to compete with out of town businesses. I do not like unions or anything they stand for. Mt friend who is the union lover is one of the cheapest cheap skates I've ever been around, no tips to waitresses, etc. I hate that about him. Enough of these things and it will ruin our friendship. Usually I overlook differences of opinion, but sometimes you can't. BTW, I'm against illegal immigration. If they want to live here, they need to follow the laws and do it legally.
I hear you Nito. I actually am a HUGE union supporter (my father's family actually helped start one of the first unions in New York due to crap conditions sorry to say this to you LOL), but I understand and can respect people that don't.
I just was disappointed in that she feels I'm wrong to share an opinion unless it is the same as hers. You never know who would stop being friends with you have a conversation like this so I would rather just avoid them LOL.
I actually didn't realize until a few days ago that my friends LOVES Sarah Palin (I'm not kidding...) and she actually ADMIRES that she enjoys killing wolves. My friend stated that she would like to hunt for food (which is one thing), AND sport. I completely was disgusted by this but changed the conversation to avoid having a debate with her since I know how she is....
I just woke up, I am bored to jog for it's so cold out and am still sleepy. I put myself through the pain of reading this. Wide awake now
I'm a people person. My acquaintances love having me around becoz to every one of them I seem like I am on their side. But underneath, I'm a radical, and a sort of maverick, with unique notions and world views.
I will disagree with you on illegal immigration. If not for amigos, this country would have come down to her knees already, small businesses will be filing for bankruptcy at reckless pace and the best way to destroy an economy is to destroy its middle tier business entities.
These people work in rain, snow, sleet, will even work on a bed of thorns without shoes, they are fighters.... and I appreciate them for it. And I appreciate them for keeping business owners over water.
Also becoz I have a crush on the senorita who makes me egg sandwich every am Just kidding. She customizes it for me and touches me affectionately when delivering it to me.
You completely missed the point, next time take the jog first.
