this will be a quick post responding to the lovely people at school whom i dare not name because my sarcastic tone will be "offensive" to them.
not you katie jensen, this is someone else who criticized my tone.
For most of you who did not hear this verbal attack upon me, i was told today "you're a f word racist pig, an im not afraid to say it. some day you will end up alone and unhappy, with all of your homophobic, racist comrads, you stupid narrow minded piece of [fill in the blank], (synonym feces). I wanna see what you have to say after we show you what we obamunists do around here to haters like you." by the way, i will excercize my first amendment rights and not tell anyone who questions me who it is that said this, because i think that the fact that i put it online can get them into alot of trouble, and that is not my intent, nor will it happen.
In responce to the sensitive, tolerant, open minded young future voters who said this to me, i think that you should be posting more of this up on my posts as comments. really, i wouldnt mind, what could the commissar do if you posted anonymously? i'd rather hear the more honest opinions rather than class grade oriented watered down 'find something original to say' comments. While i do not discourage this, go ahead and look out for your grades, but if you actually want to voice an opinion however you want to voice it, go ahead.
I would hate to wake you all up from your brainwashing, but believe it or not, while being against gay rights and abortion are perfectly valid opinions, not every conservative holds them.
For example, I do not hold these opinions, I am Pro-Gay Rights, and Pro-Choice, which i know, many of you are not. Drew, don't bother responding angrily, which you may or may not want to do, i know you're against abortion, you've told me many times. go ahead and list your reasons, it is your right, of course. For now at least, while the first amendment hasn't been clarified, (aka limited) further.
I think it isn't fair that today i was threatened today for blogging about how i think Obama is a socialist or worse.. oops since half of my class may or may not be socialist, i guess i'd better say: or farther left. but in my opinion, farther left=worse for the country. so to clarify, that earlier "socialist or 'worse'" was not worse as in you are worse people it was worse for the country.
Now, for some novelty, I want to talk about motivation and perserverence.
Everybody at some point in their lives has experienced some sort of motivation and has acted on it. feel free to challenge that.
and, in this country, people seem to take too much for granted.
Why don't you listen in your classes when they tell you how people raced and are still racing to get into America, the land of oppertunity. They know, they know that if you come, and use the free education, then you can become a doctor, you can become a lawyer, you can go to any university, you can design bridges, you can convert at will, you can live without fear of political persecution (well for now), and you can forge your own life. Not depending on whether or not the government can put you in a good position, but depending on your own initiative, motivation, drive, and desire to perservere.
For some reason socialists dont understand that this can and probably will be gone if the government runs the economy, small business and the private sector, and just our lives in general eventually. And liberals not fighting against socialism are taking us there. Thanks!
Now, to my other point, while everybody else in the world understands what this country stands for, while still capitalist, the people born in it seem not to.
We all, including myself, take our education for granted. We all, including myself, have felt like school was a nuisance at times, some people more than others of course. But on the other side of the world, people are dying to forge a nation where their grandchildren might have the opportunity to grow up treated like humans, not dirt. While we think about the 2 hours homework will take out of your weekend others are thinking about how if they swam the ocean, they might not starve as often, and might even go to school someday.
So next time you think of being bored at school, unstimulated, or even unmotivated, think about how many people would murder for your place. Think about how lucky you are and actually force yourself to feel different.
take advantage of opportunity, while you still have it, because it may not be around forever.

How are you hogging all the hate? This is a conspiracy =(. It is kind of weird people would contront you at school though, their opinions would probably get a lot more attention posting on here and that would help them more in the long run if they wanted to discredit you. Anyway maybe I'll have better luck when it's my week.
As for your post about perseverance I don't really feel I have the right to talk about that as my enthusiasm for school is less than optimal....yeah....I do agree with policies that can help this country succeed though as the sooner all countries become advanced and poverty is slowly phased out perhaps everyone will stop killing each other. As for not seeing what we have that's more of the human condition of wanting what other people have and ignoring your own blessings.
thanks, Anders, fair comments. bit i wanna point out exactly the reason they wont preach the hate on the blogs.
the reason is that these exact people claim to be liberals who stand for equality, acceptance, tolerance, open-mindedness, fairness, justice, and all the others too. had they posted any hate on the web, publicly, they'd lose all credit themselves, because they'd be proving that they are, who they say conservatives like me are: close minded, uptight, intolerant, racist, biased, unfair, and unbending. therefore, their solution is to preach the hate they feel off record, because of course they arent who they say they are, and they love hating on me. And they assume that what they say wont be posted.
I understand why they confront you in person quite well. I think it is extremely wrong of them, and believe me, I am oftentimes ashamed of who claim they are on my side. Not that I would have them convert of course, but I do wish they would act better. Even off the record, you are really not helping your case by yelling at people. And though I certainly do not approve of how those on other sides of the political spectrum think, I do not in any way hate them. I feel a lot of things towards them, most of them negative, but not one of them is hatred.
Your point about schools is very well made. I am very glad you posted that part, for the sake of everyone who reads and, and even more for my own sake. Thank you.

Well this was very interesting how you went form being attacked to telling people to be greatful for school. I find it highly offensive that someone would say that to you and i commend you on sticking up for yourself. I bealive that whoever said that to you dosent have the balls(sorry for language) to put it on here for everyone to see.The dont want to be seen as the bud guy so they didnt post it on here. I do bealive that your article is true sometimes i dont like school but i do take it seriously when need be. And as for swimming i bealive you are implying mexico. There eduication system is much better then ours sad but true. People dont come to america for food they come here for a better life to get away from genocides, communism and opresion.
While I believe that what you have experienced at school as a result of your blog posts is completely uncalled for, I must mention that this post has been, for the most part, completely in self defense and in condemnation of those who have committed those offenses against you, and I don't see it as being relevant to what we're trying to accomplish in this blog (although in the end, that is up to Silton to decide, this is merely my opinion)
I liked your bit on motivation and perseverance though.
