    I hate to say it (well, not really)...but I agree with most of this stuff....I dont espceially like political correctedness....

    One of my favorite stories was there was a girl in HS with parents from south africa...she checked the african american box and when she went for interviews for college the interviewers got on her for lying...but she was african american.

    I dont know...When I talk to my friends and I need to use a descriptor...I have a really hard time using any of them...one time I managed to stutter out african american to one of my fellow guardsmen and he said that he wasnt african, why not call him black...I dont feel comfortable with that either....we're all the same right? Isnt that the point...we may look a little different but I dunno...maybe they should have the Red head college fund....

    As far as the people killing people....yeah

    I dont necissarily believe in the boyscouts...I am a tomboy though...I actually kind of enjoy playing army in the woods....my girl scout troop went to a doll museum...yuck...I'd rather have played with the boys....but if I had I wouldnt have expected any special treatment...

    and right now...I know I am young yet, and not a mom....but I cant believe the difference between my generation and the generations two years after me....these kids have no respect or discipline for anything...if I did something stupid when I was a kid my parents smacked my butt and I *never* did it again....Bill Engvall said it best on this...now adays parents send their kids to their rooms as discipline...but the average kid has a computer or tv or gameboy in their room....I wish I had gotten sent to my room more often :-/

    And I think its kinda dumb that illegal aliens get more benefits in some places than citizens....

    Just my two (or three or four cents)....I guess everyone is entitled to what they believe in...to their truths..these are just mine.

    This has been around a long, long time. I have no idea who originally said it ... I've also heard it attributed to George Carlin ... but I recall getting it in emails years ago.

    I agree with a few things in there, but some of them are just mean, sad and ignorant.

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
