Land of the free, my ass.

This is America, land of the free, home of the brave
We're so free that the democrats want to ban our rights to bear arms. Hey wait a tick....isn't that what the Taliban did when they overtook Afghanistan? If you de-arm your citizens they are a lot easier to control. Criminals will ALWAYS have weapons, law enforcement will ALWAYS have weapons, terrorists will ALWAYS have weapons. So hard working American civilians are supposed to stand by unarmed as the most corrupt and violent organizations take over? oh but if you take away guns then bad people won't get them and crime will go down...WRONG! If you take away handguns all you're doing is taking them away from people who follow the rules. You really think terrorists and criminals apply for guns? Bunch of idiots! Ever hear of the black market??
We're so free that women (over half the population) do not have rights to their own bodies! The body that God gave me, the body that I will live and die in, the body that is ultimately the only thing I outright own in the world and the Federal Government is deciding what I can do with it?! Why is my uterus and what happens in it up for debate by a group of people who have never laid eyes on me? Sarah Palin is pro-life huh? Well she's a hipporcritical waste of breasts. It's ok for her to have a choice to decide how many children she will have and if she will keep a child disabled BUT it is not ok for me to have the same choice or to decide how many children I can have. WOMEN WHO PLAY ALONG IN THE PRETENTIOUS GAME OF I'M RIGHT, YOU'RE WRONG LETS FOLLOW THE MENS LEAD IS WORTHLESS, WORTHLESS, WORTHLESS!
We're so free that the Department of Health and Human Services can propose bills that allow doctors, pharmacists and entire medical organizations (hospitals, clinics etc) to refuse medical treatment based on their conscience. If you want accurate information regarding an abortion or birth control, if you are a hooker with an STD, if you are an illegal immigrant who severely hurt himself or if you are from anywhere that doesn't currently get along with the United States then you are in some serious trouble.
Imagine if you hurt yourself while you were high and the doctor said sorry but my conscience won't allow me to help you. I don't agree with your lifestyle. Would you be willing to die so hippocritical idiots could say that?
We're so brave that we invade other countries and view ourselves as liberators. Would we as Americans view invaders of our country as liberators? Hell no. We'd kill everyone of them. Why are they considered terrorists and we're not even though we use just as many bombs, guns and means of deadly force against civilians as they do? Captain-oops. I sorta blew up that village over there. Should I write a note for the family members who come to find them?
I believe in my soldiers who fight as they're told
I believe in my country and the citizens it holds
I believe in my people to make the right choice
I believe in my right to make heard my voice
But I don't believe in torture, war, cruelty or treason
But I want to believe so badly for so many reasons.

Why is it.....Pt. 4

Why is it that some people feel the need to give you unsolicited dieting and makeup tips, advice on religion and relationships and even what to use if you have the runs? If I want a piece of cheesecake I'll have one. If I want to go without eyeliner and wear only chapstick I will. And if I want advice from some anorexic, Maybelline Whore who praises Jesus but has never seen a Bible and pipes up with a tip about the shits during cocktails than I'll make sure to give you a call. Otherwise STFU.
Why is it that when you're walking your dog when no ones around she doesn't need to go to the bathroom and you spend 20 minutes watching her sniff the same patch of grass as yesterday...But when the neighbors are having a BBQ, service men are installing cable and the property owner is giving a tour your dog can't pop a squat fast enough giving everyone ring side seats not only to watch the blessed event but then to watch you try to scoop it up using a Walmart bag.
Why is it that out of the 10 channels I have on super basic cable that 4 are Spanish, 2 are Community, 1 is QVC & 1 is round the clock local sports? So basically I have 2 channels to watch. One is Fox, Slut Supervision & the other is the CW, Tramp Town TV. Geez, I could catch herpes from watching some of those shows.

Is there a such thing as overcommunication?

If I go online to a discussion forum and ask people random relationship questions the most common answer I get is "Just sit down and have a heart to heart."
Ok first if you're in a man/woman relationship then tell me the last time a man seriously appreciated the fact that you sat him down for hours on end to discuss relationship problems he didn't even know you had. Also the famous "tell me whats wrong" statement usually gets me a blank stare.
Women love to discuss everything. Men-not so much. How can you have an honest and open conversation when one person involved is trying to think of the fastest way possible to tell you what you want to hear so it'll be over.
If a man is in trouble or has done something wrong most of the time they will swear up and down they didn't do anything wrong BECAUSE they know if they admit it then not only will the conversation continue but there will be tears, fighting, days on end of apologies followed by more days of constant reassurance. Who the hell wants that?
As a woman I certainly don't like fighting or spending days pretending to be mad when I really just want it to be over with. I am one of those people who think you should have a heated argument and then be done with it unless it's something major but I've learned that dragging it out only makes it worse on me in the end. But the question of the century is "How can a woman openly and honestly communicate with men without saying a word?"
Uequal Distribution of Money = Unequal Distribution of Hopelessness

I think our economy woes are our own fault.
When a single person can walk around with a ring that's worth millions of dollars while most people are losing their jobs, homes, families & medical care then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
I know people who owe $3000 on their mortgage and can't afford to pay it. I know teachers who make $35,000 a year and supply their own supplies for the students. I know people who work 15 hours a day everyday just to make ends meet.
Then I hear about people who spend $40,000 a month on rent. I see superintendents of schools bring home $350,000 and then lecture teachers about how ungrateful they are to get paid $35,000. Then I see people who don't work but still have the extra money to lease their Lexus & BMW, to only shop at the Whole Foods Market, to buy their pets genuine diamond collars & to provide their children in elementary with a laptop, HDTV, cell phone & allowances exceeding $250 a week.
It's not that there isn't enough money. We just can't distribute it correctly. And yes it's our fault. These superstars have millions because we shell it out to see them or hear their music or watch their games. Meanwhile our mortgages are falling behind and our credit card debit is mounting. We say we can't pay off the car b/c it's too much $$$ but we say this while we're standing in line to purchase our name brand clothing or $150 pair of shoes.
Like Schnitt (the radio host) once asked. Would you rather have a clean ocean or hummers in the driveway? The same question applies economically. Would you rather have a debt free life or a hummer in the driveway? Unfortunately we always choose the Hummer.
Cuddling with your girlfriends-cute or crazy?

Looking at photos of others I sometimes feel as if somethings wrong with me.
When my friends bring over pics or when I see someones pics on myspace or facebook I always wonder why I have never felt the need to hang all over, kiss, hug, lay next to, cuddle with or walk arm in arm with my girlfriends. When I see my friends, we go to movies, have drinks, see exhibit openings & have barbeques. Even with my sisters I have not once ever said hey you feel like cuddling with me?? Creeps me out. I know girls are all emotional and think it's cute but to me I just don't get it.
My ex-roomate used to hang all over her friends and I'd find them in the morning intertwined on the living room floor in their underwear. We once had a fight and I was told I was frigid because I refused to let her sleep in my bed and cuddle like all her other friends. Go cuddle with a stuffed animal, this is my damn bed. Well I guess I can't really blame her though. Coming from someone that was constantly in bed with everyone I guess sleeping with your girlfriends was the LEAST slutty thing she did.
Am I wrong though? Should I be cutesy with my friends? Should a near 5'10" 29 year old woman with two businesses go gossip girl just to fit in?
