Just a short post today...
I'm so sick of everyone with the "Holy Crusader" attitude. The standard, "this is the way I believe, and if you don't believe the same, I'll hate you and you'll burn in hell", bullshit. What the fuck is wrong with people today? Whatever happened to free thinking? The ability to say what you want and think what you want? Considering politics on this issue, BOTH sides are extremely guilty of this shit. So is the media. The media is so biased on way or the other, I find myself watching DVD's and not knowing what's going on in the world.
I support our President. I support our government. I support our military. Do I think they make mistakes? You're goddamned right I do. Am I going to try to kill you for thinking differently? Nope. I don't care if you think differently. So what? Free thinking is part of what makes The United States great. However, my personal rule is, I won't try to make you think like me, so don't try to make me think like you. Deal with it.

W00t! Amen to that, pun intended. I have a pal online who is a Muslim. Of late, she has had to deal with excessive amount of people yammering about how evil all Muslims are...until they realize one of their acquaintances is Muslim. Then it becomes an "Oh, except you" festival of bullshit.
It would behoove everyone in general to remember that within every religion, there is a small faction of persons who use the name of that religion to engage in acts of fanaticism and/or violence. They are not representative OF their religion, but aberrations FROM their religion of choice.
