Stop

    Every morning I get my coffee and sign on to Facebook so I can start hiding offensive posts. It is ridiculous. People do not even think about what they are posting. Egocentricism rules.
    I am tired of people posting about being "disarmed". No one proposed that. Know what you are talking about before you post. I don't like seeing pictures of guns randomly popping up on my newsfeed. Bring back the kittens. They are much more pleasant. Tell me, if you are packing heat, and you walk down the street, and a thug pops up behind you with a gun....oh...wait...your gun does you no good because the guy with the gun - you didn't know he had it until it was too late. I don't want children seeing guns everywhere. This is not the OK Corral. Seriously. CCW - few things aggravate me more than that. If you are a hothead and carrying a gun around in the WalMart parking lot, I deserve to know you are armed. It should not be concealed. Aren't concealed, unknown weapons the big problem you are worried about? I had a person post "if you don't agree about guns, unfriend me". So I did. Asinine to be that invested in it, isn't it? As for the constitution - it was not written when automatic weapons were available. I saw this quote and liked it: When did an armed well regulated militia become a well armed unregulated public? (paraphrased).
    The next thing is bring prayer and the Bible back to schools! NO! I take my child to church. I teach him our religion. There is a new kid in his class from India. Nice, polite little boy. Is it fair to make him uncomfortable and point him out as "different"? He is not Christian. We should not force it on him. He is fine. He is not violent, evil, or wrong. He is simply a child who is Hindu. Many people who do hateful, violent acts are "Christian". Warren Jeffs molested his own nephews as well as many other children. Westboro Baptist Church, they are Christian, right? The school does not have time to teach my child everything he needs to know as it is. They have to teach toward these tests. I do not want them taking time out of his day to teach him what my church and myself should be teaching him. Our religion is ours. Everyone else does not have to be in agreement. Morality and religion are two different things, and both can exist without the other. Many horrible things have been done in the name of religion.
   Let's start looking at ourselves. If we all show love and kindness, that will catch on, and things will change. Honestly. Smiles and laughs are far more contagious than crankiness and depression. Many studies have shown that. So if we all start spreading smiles and hugs, we may not need these darned guns and can stop pointing fingers. Violence and intolerance are not the solution to our problems.
