Absolutely. I kind of feel that if you don't respect someone when you meet them it says more about yourself. You're already assuming that person didn't deserve it. I give it until someone gives me reason not to. I like to expect the best from others. If they don't follow, I have no problem changing that though.
My life still wouldn't be what it is now though. For all I know, knowing what I know now could have completely changed the course of my life. I may have thought that the other choice I could have chosen would have been better, when in reality the one I picked was actually the better option. I only know the one outcome still, knowing what I know.
I'm not glued to my phone, or make time in my day to specifically go play, but there's no shame in my gaming. I enjoy Pokemon Go, I'm sure part of it is because nostalgia, but I'm totally excited about the Sun and Moon release too, and once I beat that it'll fade as well. What I'm saying is it didn't fail, but the hype has died down.
Nothing really, it's a scary thought thinking that this life wouldn't be my life if one thing was different. I went through some low points for a reason, and I'm hard-headed, I promise that my struggle was the only way I would know. Not just being told.
I'm a fairly attractive young woman, and I am constantly slapped in the face with guys trying to pursue me when I thought we were platonic. Not only is it tiresome to have to turn down a guy who I have zero interest in, but it's also not attractive to me at all when a guy seems desperate to be with me. I'd much rather a guy make his attraction to me evident, but then make me work to show you why you want to be with me. Which, I'm awesome, so it shouldn't take too long either ;)
But... it's so much fun!
Really though, I like how you are automatically assuming that anyone who isn't religious is either a dead-beat parent, a drug addict, an alcoholic, addicted to cigarettes, or broke beyond belief. How incredibly judgmental and NON-CHRISTIAN like of you.
I thought Christians were supposed to be nonjudgmental?
I know a lot of people who don't follow any Religion, and they're happy, successful people.
I also know a lot of Christians that are the most addicted people I know.
Go talk to some people that you wouldn't normally, and please educate yourself with real people.
No, I don't care about the commercials with dogs, I really don't. I honestly don't care if they air abortion commercials either, for or against. I'd prefer if not, simply because the absolute shit storm that will follow. Honestly though, it doesn't matter to me.
I would like to point out that I was answering the debate about commercials, you chose to try to make this an immature argument about our personal beliefs.
Also, I don't associate myself with political sides. Yes, I have my opinions on major issues, but I honestly could care less about the politics. Throwing around labels doesn't really unnerve me any.
I'm sorry, did I give my opinion on animal abuse or abortions? No. Because that's not what this was about, it's about commercials on them. And I explained why I believe one is aired, and not the other.
But yes, I don't want abortion commercials for either side.
And yes, I'm pro-choice.
There is too much controversy over something like abortions to make a commercial supporting either side of the abortion debate. Either way you broadcast all hell would break loose, and broadcasting companies aren't going to take that risk.
I do agree that more people are choosing to live secular lives. It's not surprising, for several reasons. People's lives are becoming more and more fast paced, not trying to be rude, but they don't have time for religion anymore. Following almost any religion takes time, time that people don't believe they have anymore. Also, certain Scientific discoveries that people don't believe co-exist with Religion, therefore they choose to stop following the faith.
I disagree with that, because I know countless of boys and girls who just did what they wanted. A boy in my school played flute even though he got hell for it, a girl played wrestling, and so forth.
Of course, that does raise the question of who is to blame for that sexism. I don't believe it's because boys are better suited for specific physical activities, rather society who judges. We can't simply change societies views, but we can at least give students an option to be brave enough to question their own.
Hahaha, and who is to say a school system does? The success of the students growth also has to do with what the child is naturally capable of as well. So it's difficult to say either way.
Sadly, this is where majority rules injures some of the students growth.
But I'm rambling a bit, please excuse me. It's been awhile since I've had the chance to be on here
I agree, that would be ideal. But completely impossible to successfully do in our society. The school systems won't push to advance students like that, in fear of upsetting parents. Which is why I included it should be a choice, they should have both class types though
Here's the thing, biologically speaking males are naturally more capable for certain physical activity, as are women more capable to do others better. So the classes should focus on what each gender needs to focus on for a successful habit of exercise to be made. Students should be able to choose if they want to focus on what the other gender is working on though.
I stopped doing it in middle school when I realized one day that I had been saying something EVERY day with no meaning or understanding to it. I did still, out of respect, stand with everyone else.
I handle prayers pretty much the same way.
