Queen of Controversy!
Like for example. If you torture someone. You do it on purpose because you get joy or because you're bored, whatever, I feel that you should die the same way. Do you think that a mother who's litter girl was beaten raped and then killed is going to think it's justice that the man who did this is simply rotting behind bars of a prison that her tax dollars are paying for? Not unless she has no heart! It goes back to my, "The reason people commit crimes is because they have no reason to fear the law" theory. Lethal injection is an easy way to go, They put you to sleep so you don't realize you're dieing. What?! Come on! You rape and murder a little girl and you either get free cable and free food for the rest of your life of you get to go to sleep?! WTF! Thats my point for that one. next subject. I'm a woman. I love kids..I'm a pagan and I respect life. However...I'm pro choice. I took biology and according to Biology a fetus within the first trimester at LEAST is not considered living since it does not protray the five basic characteristics that make up living things. So far it is a parasite living off of your body. A collection of cells that you and your partner put together so it could almost be considered another part of you. So why should you have the right to get rid of it if you do not what it. People give the point that you can't have an abortion because it's a living innocent thing. Well..your flesh is considered living tissue is it not? Yet people cut away their flesh all the time when they get a breast reduction. Is it called murder then? STOP! You're murdering your boobs! Come on! Another thing. Which is worse, terminating a pregnancy or letting a mother have it who is not going to take care of it because she can't and it'll end up neglected, abused, or worse grow up to neglect and abuse. Even if she were to give it up for adoption there is no gaurantee that it would find a good home or if it would find a home at all. Either way it's a bad idea. People complain about the population becoming too large yet they won't let a women terminate her pregnancy. Oh we have a population problem..but no you must have that baby so we come complain more about everything getting worse? Third arguement. I'm straight as a board. But I am all for gay marriages! I feel that people should have a right to love who they love and to denie them the right to get married is against the 14th amendment. It is a right. The only reason people have an issue with it is because of the bible. Now listen up..the last time we mixed religion with politics people got burned at the stake and here we are making the same mistakes as before. Religion and politics should always and forever remain seperate , otherwise we are no different then the people our ancestors ran away from. What is the point in having a "free country" if all of our rights are going to be taken away strictly because the bible says so. Anyway, those are my points, you can agree or disagree, after all it is your right. |

If you turn on any newscast, local or national, on any station you wish, all you hear are stories about all the things that make us different: race, religion, artistic expression, sexuality, etc. The government makes 'issues' of them, feigning concern for the citizenry, which, in turn, fuels the media with inflamitory subject matter. The entire affair plays on the human animal's sheepish ability to swallow anything they are told and not only choose sides, but formulate uneducated opinions. Combine this with the inability to be flexible in their thinking, and you have disharmony by unity.
People learn intolerance from their religion (Catholicism comes to mind, as it says that to even enter another faith's church is a mortal sin), and from their parents. A few years back, nearly 140 years after the end of the Civil War, a town in Georgia vehemently protested the erecting of a statue of Abraham Lincoln, citing that it was a 'terrible insult' to their heretage. People are still burning churches, fearing and generalizing over national origins or skin color, and even protesting the way we express our love of one another. The most infuriating clip I ever had the misfortune to see was of a woman on a talk show talking about how her lesbian daughter 'didn't have to be that way' and how 'she could be re-taught'.
In essence, hatred is a swell born of, nay, synonymous with ignorance. Since ignorance is a dominant trait in the human species, it becomes a unifying factor, drawing similarly ignorant individuals to like groups. The only thing that gives the rest of us hope is our own ability to come together and remain standing before the tide.
