I can’t believe we have people that are still so ignorant to the facts of different things. I am sure you all have seen this by now. But, this is ridiculous. The stupid campaign ads trying to portray Obama as a Muslim or a terrorist it is outrages. Because if you really think about it, if that was the case, wouldn’t we know all that by now. Like honestly. It is too late in the game. And I highly doubt that he would be able to run for president.
On the note of the comment or question by the old women. Who cares if he was Arab? Being a certain race does not make anyone less qualified to be president. Maybe we need to get away from the whole middle-aged christian white men running the country. Religion nor race should interfere with a person’s capability of running for office.
I felt McCain having to respond to those comments or question just made him look bad. It made his constituents look so ignorant, and even racist. I am very upset at the fact of this. Even Sarah Palin’s comment in trying to tie Obama as being good friends to the former “domestic terrorist”, Bill Ayers is ridiculous. By the time Obama was old enough to be “friends” Ayers was no longer in Weatherman.
People need to realize everything we read , everything we see, hear is biased one way or another and we need to take everything with a gain of salt and make our own conclusions. Because we are not given sufficient, unbiased information we have to do it ourselves in doing the research. Trying to find everything we can so we can make better opinions about what is going on in the world.
My parents are filled with stupid old school double standards. My mom is blind to the fact that boys need and deserve just as much as girls rules about going out and coming home. When it comes to my brother they let him go out, stay out all night with out even saying a word. Its rather stupid. Just because he is a guy does not mean he cannot into the same amount or even more trouble than girls can. I could have sworn we were moving past these double standards, but I guess not. Maybe its a generation thing and the whole thing that my parents from the Philippines, but it pisses the crap out of me.
My parents act like he can do no wrong, but in reality no one is perfect and some type of wrong or misjudgment will happen in everyone’s life. Its really stupid. They act like he tells them the truth all the time, but they have no idea the reality of how kids lifes are now. Its different, their are more pressures and temptions. Well I guess you can say the are the same, but it is more prevelant and almost common or acceptable in some groups.
When I am confronting them about this issue they always try to use the whole gender card, any smart person will not put themselves in harms way on purpose (I know there are exceptions). But if anything because guys know they can get away with things more than their sisters they push the limit. A typical excuse to some parents use in response to the actions of their sons is that “they are just being just boys.” What the heck is that?!
I know for dang sure when I am mother I am not going to put this type of double standard on my children. It is something that I just cannot accept. Its almost barbaric, and medevial. I thought we are moving away from this whole notion, but it is still so promient in our society. Double standards are everywhere in our society not just between men and women, but between the rich and the poor, the famous and not famous. We should take these double standards and get rid of them all.
So, I am here in school trying to get work done, but I can’t. I have a headache. I can’t focus. It is taking me forever just to read because I have to stop every 5 minutes. Today was suppose to be a productive day. Were i would get a lot of reading done so I won’t be behind, but my freaking body won’t let me do so. Rather upset about the whole thing. I was going to purchase soem Tylenol, but 4 tablets cost way more than what i have in my wallet right now. So, I am here in pain. Trying to get work done, trying to fight it off, trying to make the best of my day.
Today I went back to my high school to watch the homecoming game. My bro is on the football team, so I was able to support him as well. While I was there I bumped into some of my old teachers. It was nice catching up with them. So, the weather has been rather unpredictable. On Monday it rained for a little bit, then it became ridiculously hot, then today it was freezing cold and there are talks about rain. While I was watching the game I kidd you not my feet got frost bitten. My legs felt like they have been frozen over and so numb. My high school won the game. The football team has been doing so well this year, way better than my years in high school.
So, I have to go back to school tomorrow evening which I find to be rather lame cause I would much rather be doing something or anything else than judging a high school debate. But it is a requirement for my class, so I got to do what I got to get that A.
Eehhh…I am rambling. Goodnight to you all reading my ramblings.
