While I am in the mood.....

Since I am already on my soap box, I might as well get something else off my chest too. I am online every day. I spend way too much time online but it is almost to the point that I am so appalled by the way most people judge each other on outward appearances that I don't even want to interact and talk with people any more. Every day, I see post (pictures) of overweight women being made fun of, put down, and called ugly but it seems to be acceptable for a man to get fat (????). Every day there is at least one post (picture) of a down syndrome child that people actually call  ugly! I don't understand how we have gotten to the point that this is acceptable behavior. We were born with our looks. They are not what defines us as beautiful. Not everyone will be born with what most people view as beautiful. Does that give anyone the right to tear them down, to insult them, to break their spirit? Every child, every person  DESERVES to feel loved, they deserve to feel beautiful. Nobody deserves to be called ugly because they look different! And I promise you that every pretty woman out there has someone that thinks she is a bitch so being pretty does not make you a good person so what in GODS name is it going to take for people (mostly men) to stop judging on looks alone? And please don't be accusing me of being a man basher, I LOVE MEN just not disrespectful, judgmental, immature men that wont take a second look at a women that weighs more than 100 lbs or a women that does not look like a Victoria Secret model so she can be displayed like a Barbie on his fat hairy arm!  Don't misunderstand though, I do not have a problem with fat men, bald men, what most consider ugly men, I have never turned a date down because of someones looks! I do have a problem with the fat, balding, hairy bodied men that want a beauty queen on their arm as if they somehow have a pass to look like that but don't accept a woman that is sub-standard! It is the hypocrisy and double standard that I despise! 

Chick-fil-a

It has been a really long time since I wrote on here.....I forgot my screen name and just did not feel the need to put an effort into getting back in since I am unknown to most (meaning, nobody reads my blogs anyway)! BUT, this Chick-fil-a turmoil has gotten me in a little bit of an inner turmoil. I totally believe in freedom of speech and I respect  others opinions that are not aligned with mine. Then on the other hand I believe that gay marriage should be legal. The definition of marriage should NEVER have been a man and a woman. We were wrong. Our forefathers were wrong. It has happened before and it will probably happen again that our opinions of things need to change. Two grown consenting adults that are in love should be able to get married. It is unconstitutional for them to NOT be able to! That is my opinion. I know it is not the "CHRISTIAN" way but neither is judging people and "Christians" have become experts at that! I believe in GOD, but my God would not be that hateful. And I truly to the core of my heart believe that God would rather see gay marriage accepted than to see Christians all around the world ostracizing the gay community. He did not create these people just to have the world turn their backs on them. God is supposed to be about love not hate and I would rather err on the side of love every time, right or wrong!
