Parents who don’t
It seems as if parents nowadays want to be their child’s friend. They want to treat their children as equals instead of children. Children already have plenty of friends, what they need are parents. The need parents who guide, teach, and discipline, not a friend who will back them up no matter what. A good parent will support their child when that child has been wronged, but will also discipline their child when he or she has done wrong. The police don’t just make up reasons to harass your child, there was a valid reason for that contact. Teachers don’t just pick your child to harass, there’s a reason your child has gained that teacher’s attention. Children are NOT innocent little snowflakes most of the time, remember how you were when you were a child.
Be the parent, be in charge, teach your children limits, teach your children how to behave in public, don’t make idle threats and follow through on punishment.
Racism – Can’t we all just grow up?
Okay, people, this is 2010. It’s time to grow up and realize that it is NOT the color of someone’s skin and it is NOT their heritage that counts, but what is inside that individual that counts. People who vote based on race are wrong. It doesn’t matter the color of our president’s skin, but what he does or does not do that should be judged. It is wrong to look at a person and immediately judge them because their skin is white, brown, black, or purple.
A middle school in Mississippi segregated class officers as to which race could run for what office. The president of all grades had to be white. Vice President in 8th grade could be black, but in 6th and 7th had to be white. This was in AUGUST OF 2010. Even though that policy was changed very quickly once it was exposed, why did they even think that policy could be considered correct and how did it stand for so long? Even Mississippi should realize racism is completely wrong.
It’s 2010 – grow up and treat all people like you want to be treated.
You being offended offends me
I’m also tired of everyone being ‘offended’ way too easily. It seems as if every time I turn on the news, or walk down the street, someone is offended by something. If you are offended, let’s make sure it is something to be offended about (see Racism above). We need to learn to let things roll off, ignore the ignorant and watch our stress level decrease.
If you aren’t a Christian and my Christmas (it is Christmas, not X-Mas, not Winter holidays, or anything else) decorations which are in MY yard of the house I own offend you, don’t look at them. I will not remove them simply because you are offended. In exchange, I will not demand you celebrate Christmas the same way I do.
Some people are just plain mean and try to get a rise out of others and pick a fight. Some people are ignorant and don’t know any better and don’t want to. If most of us would just ignore the mean and ignorant when they try to offend, the world will be a much better place.
