Feminism

Okay, so, I know many females will hate this particular post, call me sexist, a hater etc, but, I don't care. I live in a free country where I can express my views!
   So, Feminism. The original idea was to give women equal rights. Great, all for it. It's DONE. What I don't like, however, is that if a Woman can't get a job because she is physically unable to do it, she complains that it is designed for men only, and sexist, and unfair. Such as with Firemen. Oh, I'm sorry. I mean Fire PEOPLE. Lame. Because of Feminism, and "political correctness", our terms had to be changed. Man. As in Mankind. as in the Human Race. That is all it means. Get over yourselves, women. Firemen tests were LOWERED so that women who wanted to be in it could. Yes, it is still a high level of fitness, but not as high. And, I don't care how this sounds, but I don't want a woman to rescue me and carry me down a ladder. The problem? Height. If she is a good height, then, by all means, save me. But, the smaller you are, no matter how strong you are, the harder it is to do something. Trust me, I myself am not that tall. I have a decent amount of strength, but, because of size, somethings are harder for me to lift/move. One of my teachers talked about one of his missions in the military. They were in an armored car. They had a woman on the team. What did she do? Drove. Not because that's where they thought she should be, she was well respected and could carry as much as they could (of course, in order to be in military, you have to be able to move all the weight. That's what Boot Camp is for.) The reason was she could not physically pull the mechanism on the gun. Her height. But, I go off topic. Another thing that really makes me angry is when women claim sexism to me for....wait for it....HOLDING THE STUPID DOOR FOR THEM!!! That is NOT sexist! I hold the door open for anyone who happens to be near. I was raised to never hit a girl, except in self defense. They call that Sexist. No, it's not. It is being nice. What Feminist really want right now, is to have their cake, and to eat it too. They want equal pay for everything, equal opportunities (again, I am all for that), but then they want to have special treatment. Paid leave for having a baby, sick days for during their period (not all, but there are quite a few who do, that I know), and yes, guys don't understand that, but big deal. I would have it equal pay, Maternity leave for your child is on YOUR sick time, not an additional time. Guys don't get a leave because of it, so why should women, just because they give birth. You choose to have the baby, then you have to live with the responsibilities, and not expect to be treated specially for it. That's my opinion. If women want equal pay and treatment, then I say, give it to them. But they have to, by law, register of Selective Service at the age of 18. It's sexist to make only MALES required to do that. And there is the Argument "Oh, but someone has to take care of the kids during the drafting!" Yeah? Well, there ARE rules in place with the draft: Mentally Handicapped are exempt, Sick or Handicapped are exempt, deaf, blind, etc are all exempt from service. New exemption. "Have a child/Children." One parent, if they are together, must go, the other stays. If not together, then whoever has less custody goes. Easy. What isn't fair is women getting equal pay, but being exempt from all of these other things men have to do. Men required to be in the Draft, and when you register for the Draft, you are now a registered voter! Men are then REQUIRED to vote, at least their first year. Women, not. Just some of my thoughts. Men and Women are different, but we can have Equal opportunities. Don't lower the standards just so Women can join, I don't feel safe after hearing about that! Yell at me all you want, and dislike and flag this, whatever. I have a right to my own opinion.

School: Our job? Then I Quit

Teachers constantly talk about how "School is our Job" Or "It is Our Job to do School" and a bunch of other stuff like that. well, If it Is my Job, then I want to Quit! See, at a Job, you get paid, yet, you have to pay to go to school. What kind of Job makes YOU pay to go and do the WORK. It is the OTHER WAY AROUND. Your employer pays you for the work you do. Bad employer, this school. But seriously. I have to pay to go at get an education that is REQUIRED BY THE STATE. If it is REQUIRED, then we shouldn't have to pay for. I have a great Idea, Colorado: Pay for schools yourselves, like Texas. My cousins who live there never had school fees, (except if they lost something) and so they don't know what I am talking about when I say School is too expensive. Either do one of two things, people:
1) Make school a option, where you have to pay to get in, or
2) Make school required, but you don't have to pay for it!
Make the state pay for our schooling! Trust me, it will be a good investment!

Simple Perspectives: To Each Their Own

All my friends constantly ask me one of two questions all the time.
   "Hey, Dude, do you think this chick (girl) is hot?"
    "Dude, what do you think of "(Insert band/song/actor/movie name here)"?"
Well, I usually try to avoid these kinds of things. I don't like having to answer these, because, when I do, there are people who insult me, or make fun of me. Not my friends, but the people who are around. One time, my friend asked if I thought the girl he liked was Hot....Well, my answer was kind of a hard one. Today, a lot of people use Hot as the same thing as attractive, or as a term for something else.... I mean, she was a very attractive person, physically, but I had no idea how she was mentally, or personality wise. Or even spiritually. Being a Christian, these are things I TRY to look at more than physical beauty. Was she Hot? To me, no. Was she attractive? Physically, yes, I'll admit it. But I didn't know her, so, I gave my usual answer:
    "Hey, to each his own, man."
Big mistake. He mistook me for saying that i thought she was ugly or something. That wasn't true. So, over the course of an hour or so, I explained to him my Philosophy. To Each Their Own. This means, to me, that everyone has what they find attractive. Every has their own likes and dislikes, their own way of life, and, as Christians, their own unique way of serving God. To me, she wasn't Hot, to him, she was. To me, there are girls I find Very attractive, that others don't. Sometimes, I think we all need to just sit back, and examine how we are treating each other. I mean, not all of us are going to have the same view points. Not all of us are going to be Football stars, or Musicians or Authors. Not all of us are going to make Loads of money, and not all of us are going to serve God in the same way. Take me for example: I have next to no skill in speaking to a crowd, I am really bad with people I don't know, and I get easily mixed up with what I am saying. My way of serving God? I try to live they way I am supposed to, and show others this. I love to write (obviously, from the length of this post) so, I can always Write for Him. This is MY way of serving. Others serve by Teaching, and some by Preaching, and others by One-on-One talks. That's not me, so, please don't try to force it on me.

To Each His Own.

I may disagree with some things, or some views, but that doesn't mean I will disrespect you for it. I respect your Ideas, and while I may try to change your views, if you do not wish to, Hey, Who am I to change that?
