Shut Your Face

[jaded_in_style]

I'm so tired of people.  I consider myself a people person.  I am friendly and I try to treat others as I would like to be treated.  The news is full of people who get their feelings hurt and want to make some big world-wide crying fest over it.  Call it making a statement, freedom of speech, whatever a person wants to call it.  The loud mouths are

Belief oriented Socialism.. Nice

I was getting ready to post something about this in my own journal, but i'll include part of it here as well. Yesterday I got an email asking to donate towards my sons "Holiday Party". It stated that we should keep it "Holiday" as to not offend anyone. I see the irony in that, so I agreed to purchase the non-offensive napkins. Last night I picked up Christmas napkins, snowman napkins, and Hanukkah napkins, so the children can use whatever they feel like. I find this entire thing silly since the have no problem singing patriotic songs that may offend people. I personally feel like each person has the right to believe and follow whatever they want. I also feel like if they don't believe in God, they shouldn't care if we do, and visa-versa. Our founding fathers would be outraged about every aspect of our way of life though.

I agree that people shouldn't care if we believe because we aren't offended that they don't.  You're also right that our founding fathers would be outraged at a lot we do. I was just focused on my little tirade.  I wonder what Abraham Lincoln would think of Al Sharpton.

Hello! I was searching for Christian LJers and came across your journal. I'd like to add you! Check out the Intro post in my journal and add me too if you like!

Hi there! I'd love to add you! I checked out your intro entry on your page and I loved it! I had to jot down all of the interesting things, lol... I hope you don't mind. Tombstone is my all-time favorite movie as well. You mentioned starting a book and not being able to finish it because of your convictions... that has happened to me more times than I can rememeber... it's good to know I'm not alone. :) Also, your comment about not being an English major cracked me up because I am one of those people who edit my entries for errors but no worries, it's just a personal habit, I won't commentt and suggest that you do the same to your entries. Finally, and I put this in quotes when I noted it, "Don't leave mad, just leave" really is a great way to go about handling people with too much drama in their lives. Anyway, I said all of that to say that I would be happy to have you on my friend's list... welcome. Thanks for the add!

"Don't leave mad, just leave" I guess I've reached a point in my life where I don't feel I need to justify my beliefs or decisions to anyone not directly associated with me IRL =) We live in such an offended world now & I don't subscribe to that. I look forward to getting to know you! Thanks for adding me back!
