We Whine Like little Babies

I agree with Walsh's argument because we pick the little things in life to whine and fuss over.

We do this because we're too sensitive. We're like whinny little babies. We always have to make a big deal about every single thing. 

If someone were to walk up to a black person and say "hey where's your family from?" Some might find it offense and go to the extreme with how they respond to this. They'd think the person was trying to offend them when really they were just being curious. You really only have two choices in how you take in what someone says. 1. You could take it as " hey he means not harm or hey she means no harm."  and move on. Or 2. "Hey this person is being mean to me on purpose. We have a problem." Depending on how you take it what someone says, determines if you'll be offended or not. 

For example I went to my room after coming in the house from band rehearsal and my door's open. My mom yells " how was school today?!" from the kitchen and I yell back " it was okay!"  She didn't hear me so I yelled louder but I chopped my words up and she got mad at me because she thought I was yelling at her, when only I was speaking louder for her to hear me. If there's a point in time in which we feel offended, we as the individuals don't know how to address the problem, fix it, and walk away. We always feel the need to drag everyone else in and then it becomes this worldwide controversy thing.

On Friday my band director told us that we can no longer sing the Lord's Prayer, because there were people in our district who were of different religions complaining that they were offended.  Singing the Lord's Prayer before football games and competitions is tradition. We've always done it. If you don't wanna sing or if you're not religious or whatever the case may be, you don't have to sing. There are people in our band program who don't sing when we sing the Lord's Prayer and they're not look at in a  certain way. It's not like we're gonna look at you and say "ooo you're not singing." I don't know if they feel offended because they can't participate in the singing portion or what. We've always had conflicts between differences in religions. Always. Why choose to point it out now?  All I know is that stuff like this doesn't make any sense. It shows how immature we can be.

Should people with bad road rage be allowed to drive?

People with bad road rage should not be permitted to drive on the roads because it can be very hazardous for other drivers. According to (http://www.driveandstayalive.com/articles%20and%20topics/attitude%20and%20aggression/artcl--road-rage--a-deadly-threat.htm) says that these are some of the reasons why people take action in road rage: "He cut me off." "He/she was driving too slowly." "She wouldn't let me pass." These are the types of things that encourage road rage and if you make an aggressive driver upset the situation might end badly.

You have aggressive drivers who would want to hurt someone because they had their bright lights on and because it shined in their eyes from their rear view mirror. Or because they wouldn't let them in. This reaction is uncalled for because other drivers don't have to do anything. They don't have to let you in. It's an act of generosity. You cant get mad at them and want to hurt them if they decide that they're not going to let you in. Just because someone cut you off, gave you the finger, called you a bad name, or honked their horn at you does not give you the right to follow them home, injure them or beat them to a pulp.

The article I was reading talked about how many accidents that happened due to road rage and it was approximately 6,800,000 and that's just in the United States. The article (http://www.driveandstayalive.com/articles%20and%20topics/attitude%20and%20aggression/artcl--road-rage--a-deadly-threat.htm) states that road rage is " An incident in which an angry or impatient motorist or passenger intentionally injuries or kills another motorists, passenger or pedestrian or attempts to injure or kill...In response to a traffics despite, altercation, or grievance" If aggressive drivers respond negatively to the behaviors of other drivers, that's where it becomes a issue and that's why people with road rage need to exclude themselves from the roads due to public safety.

Should you ever surrender when things are hard?

A lot of us tend to abandon things we find complicated. Yeah, there are moments in our lives in which we feel like giving up because somethings are "too hard" for us or we feel like we can't keep up. Is it okay to give up? Is it ever okay to throw away everything we've worked for and to demolish where we are now?

Absolutely not. Life isn't easy because if it was, everyone would be where they desired. Success isn't just going to be handed to you on a silver platter. You have to work for it. There will be challenging obstacles that will advance towards us but giving up is not an option. If you fall and scrape your knee, stand up because mistakes happen. We're human. We're going to mess up, but the best thing about that is that you know there's a second chance. You know that there's a way to make it better. It's only the thought that counts.

If you say something's hard, you're already setting yourself up for failure because you're making it impossible for you to fulfill your goal. What you need to do is to have that mind-set that says "it's challenging" instead of  "it's hard". Challenging means that it's not easy and whatever it is that you're trying to do can be accomplished. You just have to want it. You have to have flexibility. You have to push yourself to the next level. Where as hard just means plain old impossible. Like it's not going to happen and if you have that mind-set of saying "it's hard" while trying to achieve your goal, the outcome won't be great.

Don't give up on anything because you never know what type of opportunities you'll be missing out on. That one time you decide you're going to throw in the towel for good, might be the that day that could be a game changer for you.

Should your personal like or dislike of someone's non-violent or harmful actions give you the right to steal, kill, or destroy them?

Yesterday while surfing the web I read across an article written under the Jewish journal .com and I realized then what a dangerous world we live in. This article talked about people all around the world calling out to the U.S. to help support gays and lesbians because they're getting treated badly over there. You have people getting slaughtered over in Nigeria, Iran and Yemen just because they like the same sex. At the bottom you'll see a picture of a boy named Jadin bell. He was 15 when he committed suicide due to bullying because he was gay. He wasn't doing anything to anyone and look where he's at now. My whole thing about this is that it shouldn't even be an issue to began with. If John wants to date Luke let john date Luke. If Lucy wants to date Kate, let her date Kate. Stop trying to control people's lives. Your personal like or dislike of someone's non-violent or harmful actions does not give you the right to steal, kill or destroy them. As Christians the bible says he without sin cast the first stone, meaning god and god alone has the right to judge someone else's sins. As a people we need to learn to agree to disagree because there are more important things that we need to be focused on right now like world hunger and diseases all around the world. This is what's wrong with society now because we're out here worrying about what everyone and their mom is doing instead of worrying about what we need to do in order to better ourselves as a nation.
