In response to Rosie's "smear"

Killing babies has nothing to do with women's rights. I'm all for getting paid the same for doing the same job. I'm all for having the same opportunities. I'm all for not being seen or used as a sex object. Killing a baby is not going to make any of that happen.

If anything, all it does is make me look like a vicious killer.

Woe to He Who Says "Woe Is Me"

I think it's funny when someone describes me as "self-righteous" just because I post a different point of view on the comments section of someone else's post. After all, if they didn't want to hear people's opinions of what they post, why did they post it? And then, to top it off, they accuse ME of wanting attention? LOL

I post a lot of stuff I know other people may find offensive because it's ME. But, the only time I have ever used the block button or became really angry at someone on my own timeline is when they post pornographic stuff, or use name-calling and attacks against me because they don't like it.

I am a staunch conservative, and a Christian to boot. I expect "The World" to disagree with me. As a Patriotic American, I welcome that disagreement, as long as it is respectful. I won't put up with being called names or threatened for my beliefs on my timeline, and I don't do it on someone else's, but I will say what I think, because God didn't intend for His children to sit down and be quiet, only to stand firm and wait.

One of the things I can't stand is a whiner -- someone who constantly complains about the cards they are dealt in life. If you don't like where you are or what you have to put up with, change it. YOU DO have the power. And, if you can't, then ACCEPT it and understand that GOD KNOWS BEST. Period.

I can't stand people who use their past as a crutch in order to excuse the actions they do today. The past is GONE. There is no excuse for bad behavior. A former drug user who wants to whine about the crap he went through yesterday, or what he is going through today because of it needs to stop whining about and learn from the experience and instead of saying things like, "You don't understand what I've gone through..." start saying, "That's not who I am NOW and I can PROVE it."

Start whining about how you are because you used drugs, and I can tell you how I am and why I won't tolerate addicts anymore. Simple as that.

I don't feel sorry for anyone who wants to stay down and out because of decisions they made in the past. I made some pretty bad decisions myself, but my life is wonderful now; and, it's not because I got lucky.

If you want something bad enough, you have to be the change. Simple as that.

JMHO.

And, by the way, a FRIEND is one that tells you the truth; not someone who will enable your "woe is me" attitude.
