Hello, is it tea you're looking for??
Haha Cracks me up. Every time. Sorry.
Anyway, hello again.
So, I've had a rough couple of days. I'm not gonna lie.
It's hard for me to be here everyday. Mostly because of my son. Who's the Tasmanian devil, always running around the house breaking things. He's been giving me a break (a very tiny one) because he's got a badly twisted ankle. Yet he's still jumping around.
But in other news, I was browsing Wikipedia and I got to read to my surprize, some Very Racist articles. Now, I do understand to a certain extent that everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I think we could all agree that shouldn't apply to historical information. One of the articles I read was about a war, so I was pretty much baffled by the way it was expressed. I do understand that Wikipedia is edited by the people for the people, though someone there is taking sides and hating.
If you ask me, excluding someone because of their nationality/language/skin color, etc. is just pure ignorance. Yes. Racism is Ignorance in its purest form. Take for instance the Irish. When the Mexican-American war was happening in the 1840s, the Irish wanted to fight. So, they asked the US if they could join them. The USA gave them a funny look (and by funny I mean disgusted) probably because they couldn't make out what they were saying. So the Irish cursed at them and joined the Mexicans. After all, hey! They were dressed in green! Lol. No, I'm joking. But they did join them. And that Irish accent, sexy as hell but hard to understand for most people.
I'm drifting, sorry.
My point is: I would love to set a rule and say that you can't diminish or disrespect people based on how they look or what language they speak. That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard! Unfortunately people are people and we can't always change their minds, although I would love to try.
