I’ve never really understood why there’s still racism in the world. Humans have existed for thousands of years, and yet in all that time we haven’t learned to get over petty differences and act like a single human race. You’d think in all that time we’d have come to our…
I saw a commercial on television yesterday that was selling home security systems, and they said that the reason you need one is because there’s a burglary every 14.4 seconds in the United States. How insane is that? A statistic like that tells me two things. One, there are too…
While I was writing my last piece on violence against the LGBTQ community, part of my brain kept wondering “Why do we have so much hate?” I don’t understand it, and I never have. Well, intellectually, I comprehend the base reasons for the hate that people have, but I don’t…
I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that in this day and age people still haven’t learned to accept the LGBT community. Gay and differently oriented people have always existed and always will. We know now that it’s not a matter of “sin”, it’s either how…
It’s appalling to me that people commit suicide every day as a result of abuse and bullying. People’s lives are brought to an untimely end because of the way that others treat them. What’s worse is that we’re being taught to think that people who commit suicide are just weak,…
It’s a sad fact that people today seem to be addicted to disbelief. So much of what we see and what we’re told leads us to believe that things are difficult, if not impossible, and we become so used to that idea that we actually begin to perpetuate it in…
In a recent post I was talking about how it’s getting harder to do good in the world, and I mentioned how many of the charities out there ask for rather high minimum donations. While I was eating lunch a commercial for Wounded Warriors came on and it made it…
I’m sure by now most of you have seen that I’m running a fundraiser to make sure Eric and I have enough money to move at the end of the year. No donations have been given yet, even though it’s been broadcast to over 4000 people. For just a moment…
Being the kind of person that I am, I always want to help people, and I’m constantly looking for more ways to do good for others. Unfortunately, it seems that our society has been arranging itself in such a way that doing charitable work is becoming harder than ever, and…
About a week before Thanksgiving I was talking to some people online and one woman said that she hated the holidays, because she didn’t like being obligated to eat things she didn’t like. I asked her why she would ever eat things she didn’t like, and she said that she…
I’ve never left any question that I’m disgusted with most of society. The media is constantly encouraging gormless, rude behavior and making courtesy, compassion and modesty seem like freakishness. A true lady is almost impossible to find in today’s society. The few who are left are often looked down on…
I get emails for all sorts of causes that I’m involved in, and the one I just read concerning equal rights for girls made me once again wonder, how can gender equality still be an issue? People have been on this planet for thousands of years. We have learned and…
One of my connections Todrite wrote a post today about people with facial piercings and tattoos and how he didn’t care for it and thought that those people would have a hard time finding work, love and would regret their choices later in life. In some cases those things may…
I posted yesterday about how much I love that Eric can not only cook and cook well, he enjoys it. He has no problem with or shame in cooking. He loves good food and knows how to make it. Unfortunately, a lot of men don’t share his liberated views. I…
