What a horrible story. Why on earth would you want to say such things? Even pretending to "stab people in the heart or split their throats", is horrendous. That is NOT normal. You must carry around alot of hatred toward some people. How very sad.  |
Do you really think so? That's the mentallity we had as children and all because of the venom the media spewed and rumors of the "illegal aliens". That story doesn't even begin to relate my experience or the reasons I have taken the position I have chosen. It is why it irritates me that tweety should say it is because I am genetically like them. I wasn't raised to like them. I grew up loathing them until I was 19 years old (9 years ago) and even then I still had some trouble understanding the problems they faced. I was just like you guys. I thought it was easy for them and that they just wanted a free ride. God works in mysterious ways and I believe he put me to the test so I could open my eyes and be understanding. He taught me the hard way to walk in their shoes, to not cast the first stone of judgement, and to listen not only with my ears, but with my eyes and my heart. These people are just like us, regardless of their status. They are not pawns or items to be manhandled just because Mexico should be responsible for them and we don't want them and they don't want to go back. You know what's happening right? We're tearing these people apart. What I did in the past is what the anti's are doing today. They may not be splitting throats or stabbing hearts physically, but they may as well be doing just that by calling them names, treating them like unwanted items, deporting them and seperating their families and calling their American born children the hatefull word "anchor babies". To my knowledge, I didn't hurt anyone in the past, and I'm not about to start doing it now. Holding hatred towards someone would mean not giving a darn about what happens to them just because they are not "our responsibility". Holding hatred towards someone would mean not caring about their children and their families. Holding hatred towards someone would mean spreading malicious lies and spreading fear of them so that others can hold hatred too. I hold no hatred towards anyone, but it saddens me to know that others innocently and foolishly do.  |
YOU WEREN'T EVEN OLD ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND ANYTHING. HAHAHAHA
I don't hold hate either. I try to always find the 'good' in a person. Heck, I even believe that you are a kind person in your own way, but your ways of dealing with the situation is just plain nuts. |
