I hear people whining over things that maybe significant in their little world, but are absolutely ridiculous in the real world. For Christs Sake does the trama of your bad hair day really need discussing? Or the neighbor's barking dogs and loud children have to be daily topics to complain about? I mean come on!!!!.... Day after day bitching about the same redundant stuff makes my head want to pop. My favorite Complaints are the ones that the complainer themselves has control over, but, insists on blaming the world for, their lack of self control. For instance that McDonalds is making their kids fat........ what?..... then stop feeding it to them. No, that would be the logical response, they would rather bitch about the fat content and make all of us suffer by taking all the yumminess out of the fast foods we indulge in occasionally because of their inability to control their chubby childs eating habits. Shame on you! Or people who have nothing better to do Than getting a bill past to take something as wholesome as the pledge of alligence, Santa Clause, and anything remotely religious out of school. Wow.... brava!!! Just because you don't believe in it ruin it for all kids. I guess it is unfortunately your porogative to denie your own children the glee and joy of the magic of Santa But, to take it away from everyone just because you don't believe.... What a selfish and Self rightous act of Bah hum buggyness is that? Yuck! It seems as though if you enjoy something or for that fact anything, there is some self rightous butt munch out there who is going to feel that his/hers rights are being violated. For all of these whinning, self centered, egomaniacs...............I hope to God, Santa, The Easter Bunny, and our fore fathers who wrote the ";;Constitution";; Also ";;Civil Rights";; that somebody calls you a ";;Whaaambulance";; and takes you to some institution where you can spend the rest of your miserable life doped up and happily minding your own business. So that way WE have, the right to enjoy our right to... freedom of speech and religion as was intended to be the right of ALL Americans. I would never have the gaul to take something away that has been a tradition for so long just because I don't believe in it. I don't believe in a lot of things, As a matter of fact I am not a religious person at all, I have not believed in Santa since I was 3 or 4....But, if it gives people hope, faith, and the belief that their is a consequence for their actions, or a feeling of a divine creator that protects them, who am I to take such a good thing away? Who are you to take away the rights of so many to believe in something they hold dear, to suit your own right to protest because your view point is different? I think that if you are in America whether or not you are a citizen, you should say the pledge of Alligence, I think that instead of taking away Holiday celebrations from the children we should make a special refrence to all Ethnic Celebrations. (If you happen worship Jehova then I guess you will just have to be patient and excepting of the rights of those around you). Just as we have to except the fact that each week you come to our doors with your pamphlets. Wanting us to listen and convert to your belief. Celebrate in those beliefs, that move you, and be considerate of diffrent beliefs that you may not share. Think about the rights of everyone before you start whinning that your right not to believe is a violation that all should recognize and give in to. If neighbor kids are being rambunctous and loud remember that you were young once too. Dogs bark people! Usually they have a reason why they do it, but, if not get over it. If you don't want your kids over weight from all the fast food they eat, get off your lazy butt, and cook a healthy meal for them..........
