oooo the truth

Andy Rooney said on '60 Minutes': 'I don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything exceptnumbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory arethings like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black EntertainmentTelevision, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, orMiss White America ; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knockingdown your door. Guns do not make you a killer. Ithink killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bator a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game. I believe they are called theBoy Scouts for a reason, which is why there are no girls allowed. Girlsbelong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE ? I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion. I have the right 'NOT' to be tolerant of others because they are different,weird, or tick me off. When 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racialprofiling; it is the Law of Probability. I believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, anewspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English! My father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countriesyou were born in to come over and disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot you if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word 'freeze' or 'stop' inEnglish, see the above lines..I don't think just because you were not born in this country, you arequalified for any special loanprograms, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop,trinket store, or any other business. We did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives inwars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitutionis a living document; and open to theirinterpretations. I don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies andtelevision. That doesn't stop you from watchingthem. I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continueto make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better,and put your name on the building. It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say 'NO!' I think tattoos and piercings are fine if you want them, but please don'tpretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me Frenchfries! I am sick of 'Political Correctness.' I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born inAfrica so how can they be 'African-Americans'? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great,great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe . I am proud to be from America and nowhere else. And if you don't like my point of view, tough... I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATESOF AMERICA , AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONENATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICEFOR ALL!

Casita Mujeres.

I havent written much on my trip to Honduras and I'm not exactly sure why. Here is my first attempt. The one outreach that sticks out in my mind and I'm sure everyone else's was when we went to CASITA MUJERES. It was a "home" for young girls from the ages of maybe 6-18. On this day Pastor Chace asked me if I would give my testimony. Now in my head I'm thinking "are you serious" but I of course say yes. This is my first time ever to give the story of what made me who I am today. That whole day I was so nervous, anyone who knows me also knows that I'm not one to really get nervous about anything. Just the thought of exposing who I am to a whole crowd of people including those from church and my siblings, it just made me feel vulnerable. Our bus is driving on down the road to our destination when we notice a traffic jam. Great it's already hot and sweaty and now there is no movement for the air to circulate through the bus. I guess it was exactl...

Insecure

For various reasons that don't directly deal with me, I have come to think upon a few things. I am speaking from a female perspective but I come to assume that insecurities seem to stem from the same type of problems. Everyday we deal with people who have a huge impact on us personally, people that we love, people who's opinions matter. When their persepective of us has been scewed in anyway we tend to take it to heart. It's human nature to take their words and feel them deeper than they should be. So when they speak of or to us in a way thats negative we will begin to perceive ourselves in a negative manner. Or when we come to find that those persons have done you wrong we begin to think there must be something I'm missing. Each and everything they do affects us. If a person cheats, we think; something MUST be wrong with us. If a person lies to us, we wonder why we were not worth the truth. What could we have done to prevent them from going off and doing us wrong? They...

i am not so naive

Sometime I wish people would learn not to underestimate me. When I want to get somewhere or get something accomplished I am very capable of doing so. Of course there are always limitations and set backs but I know how to push through it. I lived in a time where our money was tight and we had very little but we made it through.. Just because I am where I am today and don't look like i have ever had to fight my way out of the bottom doesn't mean anything. Looks can and are deceiving. Of course I don't believe in telling what most would call a "sob" story. I am not one who looks for a pity party.. But please know that I do know what it is like to go without in many aspects. I embrace that time in my life and it has taught me to be thankful of what I have. I will never forget it but I also will never return. Was it by choice and my own doing?? Of course not, who chooses to go without? Being born into it is one thing.. but staying in it is another. We all make decision...
