first off, i'd like to point out a few things about myself and how i came to these conclusions... -i was raised by a bible and a switch; my parents brought me up knowing right from wrong and how to be respectful to everyone whether they deserve it or not. being from the south, i might sound like an idiot sometimes but i get my point across anyway i can.
1. it seems that chivelry or however you spell it, is dead! i grew up holding doors and getting the short end of the stick from everyone cause thats just how it was being a young southern boy but it earned you respect from everyone. today, at the age of 20, i can hold the door open for somebody and they look at me like i'm a damn fool. i cant smile at people and say goodmorning without getting the most stupid looks from everyone. where is the respect for someone who is just trying to live life the same way you are but just being nice about it?
2. i'm sick and tired of people not respecting eachother even on a friendship level too! many of my friends have been steppin on my toes for a while now and the only reason they ain't got off of them yet is that i haven't decked any of them yet. stupid crap like drugs and alcohol get on my nerves. when i say to stop doing something thats bothering me, i'd hope you could do that.
3. family and friends are more important to me than anything in the world! i've seen friends of mine get screwed over by thier, so called, friends. and who does your friend turn to, you! i'm tired of people who say they care and trust you, turn around keep making the same mistakes on a daily basis. i honestly care about people too much and whind up getting screwed over myself and its no ones fault but my own.
4. MILITARY ISSUES. if you live under ther flag of the USA and dont support our troops, shut your damn mouth about anything that our military is doing. they put thier lives on the line everyday so you wake up and waste yours! now, everybody that supports our military is getting frustrated cause news goes back and forth about whats going on over there. i dont worry about what going on over there because i pray for each and everyone of them regardless whats going on over there. one soldier deserves it as much as the next one.
5. i understand not everyone thinks along the same lines as i do. this isn't meant to step on toes but if it does then so be it. this is just how a honest man feels about random stuff that has affected his life. being only 20 i understand i got a long life before me but i garnered enough respect be able to put my 2 cents in with out anyone telling me i dont know any better. hope you can respect honest words from someone is just speaking how HE feels.
