Fighting fire with fire?

Gays don't understand why some people don't support their "cause". Well, some do it for religious reasons, some do it out of spite because of negative experiences, and then some do it because gays are doing hateful things to straights out of spite.

When gays talk down and insult blacks, they are encouraging blacks NOT to support their cause. When gays talk about denying innocent people blood, they give people reasons not to support their cause (who wants to give rights to inhuman immoral people?).

Essentially, people are revolting from the gays anti-heterosexual movement.

Gay people call anyone and everyone homophobes. If you support giving blood, to them you are a homophobe. If you rationalize peoples reasonings for being against gay rights, you are considered a homophobe.

In the end, gay people are their own worst enemy. They are like atheists, they get in a tiff over every little issue and demand to punish the world because of it. Fighting every battle is not going to help you guys out.

Blaming us straight people, us black people...is not going to help your cause. That is why I no longer support gays...I got fed up with their hate and rude and despicable behavior.

Banning blood drives

Its a scary thought that high schools and colleges can and do ban the Red Cross from performing blood drives.

How can anyone hate the Red Cross? Oh, they don't they just hate the fact that the FDA won't allow gays to give blood.

So essentially the Red Cross, which is opposed to the FDA's stance is being blamed for the FDA decision to ban gay who have had sex from donating blood.

Colleges around the US have been banning the Red Cross from blood drives as a result.

I am very against this. I can understand wanting gays to give blood, there is no real point to banning them if the Red Cross tests blood for HIV now anyways. But to fight this by punishing victims in need of blood is wrong.

There is a shortage of blood supplies...so what people are proposing is making it even shorter because in their opinion the FDA will have to respond.

But ask yourself this, what if a family member needed blood and there wasn't enough due to an increased shortage? Would you be changing the tune of your voice all of a sudden?

In the end, why make the victims who need blood suffer all because of political agendas?

There are others ways to fight the FDA without punishing people for something they have no control over.

I just don't like the idea of toying with human life for this cause. Its disrespectful and dangerous.

Its scary how anyone can deny saving a human life like that. Punishing all for one does not help the situation.

Its a sociopathic response.

The way I like to look at history

For me, I am not just about facts and figures when it comes to history.

I like the personal stories.

Think along the lines of the fake diary series Dear America, which is about girls living in America of different social standing and race...and most importantly each girl of each book is of a specific time period.

Although the books are fake, it shows the kind of history most of us are into.

Just look at a movie like Titanic. They have done thousands of documentaries since but only those who love Titanic watch them...but you can find millions who love the theatrical film Titanic, why? They made it personal.

When we get to read the diary or know the personal story of someone, it makes us feel closer, it makes them less of a figure and statistic and more of a person.

When talking about war, what really grabs the attention of the average person? Is it the play by play of battles won or is the personal stories of what war life was like?

We feel a connection when we look at history through a more vivid and personal detail of someone, often a regular person such as ourselves, through their own eyes.

When history is nothing more than a recount of just the incident itself, it feels void, like its just an overview. It can feel somewhat boring. But when a person who lived in that time recounted their experience in a letter or whatnot, we feel a better connection.

Maybe it the rich vs. poor ideals in the regular person's mind...to hear from an average joe just feels more legit, more interesting than that of some rich person...You could say we all relate in the struggles, albeit different struggles.

My Views on Alcoholism

I am staunchly against alcohol, therefore I take very little pity over alcoholics. The same with smokers.

When it comes to who gets an organ, I think smokers, druggies (like heroin, cocaine etc), and alcoholics should be at the bottom.

I don't apply that logic to obesity though, or cancers, or diabetes or accidents or any of that, to me those should not be grounds for being at the bottom of the list.

People say alcoholism is a disease. I am sorry but you chose to drink. Yeah no one sets out to become addicts, but its obvious that its a possibility when you start drinking it.

I am sure the addiction is hard to beat, but the truth is, its a severe addiction not a disease.

A disease has to do with the body...you don't automatically just become an alcoholic out of nowhere, NO! You had to start drinking it first, something you chose to do logically.

People calling alcoholism a disease is like excusing drunk driving.

It causes people to take less personal responsibility in trying to quit. Just like with being overweight, its not a disease, its a lifestyle choice that can result in one having diseases, just the same with smoking.

Not only should people be admitting they have a problem, they should take personal responsibility for that problem.

I guess you can say the reason I am very cold towards alcoholics is that I am extremely anti-alcohol. It has caused so many unnecessary problems.

In the end, alcohol is an addiction because alcohol companies use ingredients to make it addictive, so there is no bearing to the disease part. People get to low points in life or have too much fun and they become dependent on drinking because of its addiction and the way it makes them feel, it turns them into addicts who can't quit cause any addiction is hard to beat...but in the end to call it a disease is an insult to people who have real diseases that they have no control over.
