Re: A Quote for Thought
I agree with a lot of this.
However I agree with what Brandon is saying. BUT, if you work in the service industry, or any industry, for that matter, where you deal with people constantly who are primarily American and speak full English, you should deffinately work on improving your english. However, no one should ever have to give up their native tongue if they don't want to. Period.
I'm not racist by any means, but it does bother me that Somali's can come to America, get government funding to live here, basically for free, and then come to my school, jump people, start fights, even hold a gun to my friends head, and not get in any trouble for it because they are a minority. Just because you are a "minority", which in itself is a logn shot these days, doesn't mean you are stupid or don't know better than to do things like that. They are just like anyone else and should be treated the same. If you come to America to better your life and your family's life, then good for you, but I think it's wrong to do that by living off of tax payers and the government.
Also, I agree fully with the homosexuality thing. It's someone's choice to prefer the same sex. It's your opinion if you don't agree with it. I think it's wrong to critisize someone for that and judge them for it. You don't have to date them, so oh well? And it pisses me off when people are like "Oh I don't like it when they hit on me." Get over it. All you have to say is, "I'm sorry, I don't swing that way" and they get the point. Deal with it.
The tattoo and piercing thing is an odd subject. Honestly, being that I have 8 piercings and going on 2 tattoos, I have no problem. But everything in moderation. When I walk into Wal-mart and see some one with tattoos and piercings all over their face, in his lips, nose, cheeks, ears, whatever, I tend to think it a little inappropriate. To me, that many piercings and tattoos in such visable places as your face shows an extreme lack of self respect. There's a girl at my dad's work with little lizard foot prints starting from the middle of her cheek leading all the way down past her shirt leading to God only knows where, and I can't help but think why you would want to grow old and have your grand kids ask you why a lizard stepped on your cheek. Self Expression? Maybe. But still, why ruin your image for the rest of your life? I know a lot of you would say, "Yah, but you permanently branded a Mitsubishi logo on yourself." The difference is that mine is only visable if I allow it to be.
The hate the rich, pity the poor and Bill Gates thing is so true. It's all in what you make of yourself.
OK I'm done ranting about it. I'm just bored and thought I'd throw in my opinion on things.
