I've decided to never blog about politics or religion again.
Yay!
I love Ken.
So, my friend brought up my controversial post.
And we discussed it.
My post was to invoke discussion, not provoke. Me, him, and another friend discussed the issue and there were good points that were brought up. Yea it sounds like I am narrow-minded, but I'm not. It was a reaction to what happened. It was my first reaction and it wasn't fully thought out. But still, other people brought up to me my post and we had an awesome discussion. I agree with what they say. But I know I can discuss certain issues with certain people and they totally understand where I'm coming from, I just need to not be so general in my statement. Other people just don't want to hear what I have to say or discuss it with out it getting personal.
Either way, my post wasn't meant as a personal attack on anyone. I don't mean to say that all parents are bad and they have to pay for their childrens' mistakes or that bad children always come from bad parents. There are different factors that make a "bad seed", such as environment, education, possibly parents or lack there of, fear, or whatever. But, I'm done with this subject. If you have any more to say, you can say it.
This is my MySpace post. I am deleting it off of there because I never liked blogging there anyway.
"So .. about those kids that shot those other kids .. other than it being totally messed up .. I think that for minors, meaning anyone under the age of 18, that commit any type of crime, the parents/legal guardians should go to jail as if they committed the act, or maybe a lesser punishment, and the kid that committed the crime should go to a detention center or jail for minors.
It is rediculous how parents can get away with their children committing crimes. Especially murder. All the parents say is "Oh, I didn't know..." Parents should take responsibility for their childrens' actions. If they raise them correctly, there will be no problems because the children wouldn't think about committing crime.
This is basically for those people who should have been spaded and neutered as soon as they hit puberty because they are in no position to have children. It's not all the kids fault that they turned out that way. It's the parents' fault. And if the parents are being sent to jail for the crimes their children commit then, I think, parenting will become more important and there will be less minors committing crime/murder/etc."
OMG! Okay so I had this totally awesome blog to post, and of course, the really good ones never get posted, either because of the internet or some random occurrence where you didn't actually write it in Word or what have you.
I'm so miffed! ARG!
Well, the gist of the previous post was me blogging on MySpace.
I don't like participating in debates about Religion or Politics because it just causes problems. No one likes anyone else's opinion and it tends to get ugly. Relationships - friendships, boyfriend/girlfriend, even marriages - have been broken up because of these discussions.
But the thing that makes me say that is I posted on MySpace, which I don't like doing because anyone who is you "friend" can read it. Which is all and good, I guess, I just like my blog to be a little less public. Anywho, I suppose it's my own fault for posting an opinion about a recent event that happened in Arizona.
So, like I said talking, or blogging, about your opinion just causes problems. When people don't agree with your opinion they usually resort to berating or name calling. I can't stand that immaturity. I mean, really. It's an opinion! If you don't like it, tough. Don't read what I write, don't listen to what I have to say.
Freedom of speech and freedom of the press are just 2 of the freedoms we have that make Our Country great.
But then, I suppose it goes both ways. If I don't want people to comment on my opinion, I should just not say it. But I don't like that either. I mean, why can't people just state their opinion without feeling like their opinion is just wrong?
Opinions aren't meant to be "right" or "wrong," which is why they are so. They aren't facts, or laws. It's just how one person feels about a particular subject.
I never assume I am right, and I don't necessarily take sides in arguments. I don't tend to stand behind my friends (I tend to stand next to them), because we usually have different opinions about things. I think that is perfectly acceptable. I don't expect them to agree with me either. It's why we are all individuals. I don't talk to my friends about issues that can be debated because I like my friends and would like to be friends with them for a long time.
I have known a few people who, when you get into discussions, they have to turn everything into a debate. And those people are not my friends anymore.
I understand you don't have to like my opinion, but don't resort to name calling. It just shows how narrow minded you are.
/end rant
So there's been a lull in my writing. Nothing has been happening that's been Blog worthy. We got a dog at my house, I've been spending a lot of time with Ken (and I mean a lot), and I've been working.
I've been looking for a new job, and I have an interview set up. I'm trying to get in with Kat's new company, the Radisson Resort up by Ft. Mcdowell. In 5 days she got a promotion, which I think is really cool. The main reason that is possible (other than the fact that she knows her shit) is that it hasn't even opened yet! They're still in the process of hiring. So that's cool.
I've been on MySpace a whole lot lately trying to find people I went to HS with. I think it's really neat that we can still keep in touch and see how people have changed. As for myself, I think I have changed a lot. I've become a lot more self confident, I've just basically grown up. And I still have a lot to learn, and much more to grow as well. So, yea, that's about all I've been doing.
Tootles.
Yay! I'm so excited! Mike decided to start up our original campaign again. This is what everyone used to (and probably still does) make fun of me for. I LOVE to play DnD. It's a lot of fun and the guys I play with are totally awesome.
This is one of the things that kept me from going insane when I really didn't know many people. These guys I've known since about 3 months after I moved here, which was 4 years ago, I've been friends with all of them since then and lately I haven't been seeing much of them because we stopped playing. I'm very excited to see everyone again.
So this is my Sunday afternoons.
