Well now that that is solved...
Today was lame. I spent first period with Fergie. Then I went to second period where I spent the whole period copying the homework that was due that day. Then I went to Math and I took the stupid CIM. I realized 20 minutes after turning it that I never wrote down my answer. Meh. I wasn't planning on passing the damned thing anyway. Then I took my Chapter 8 test in math which I'm almost positive I bombed. Fuck I am going to have a low grade in that class. I went to SS for about 30 minutes and we watched a really interesting movie on WW2. I like that war the best ouf of all of them, the most interesting stuff happened then. After we watched the movie we talked about what is going on in Iraq with the soldiers that were forced to do those awful horrible things. Proud to be an American? Definetely not.
I'm actually very embarassed. I feel so horrible for what those poor men have been through, even though they are who we are fighting, you need to maintain a certain level of respect for your enemy. I think that Americans have turned into sick, disgusting, selfish, horrid beasts that are out for their own good and no one elses. We used to care about the world and others around us, but even today I find myself basically fighting for my survival, whether it be for an empty seat on the bus ride home or if it is for the last tray of fries in the food line. Everyday I am seeing and feeling less and less curteous to others. Maybe it's just me, but it sure feels like it's everyone. Rush Limbaugh (or however you spell it) said today on his show that the soldiers who made the P.O.W.'s do these horrendous acts did nothing wrong. He said that what they did was as bad as a frat house hazing would be. I don't understand how hazing and making people who believe in the sacridness of a naked body get completely naked and act like they are performing felatio on another member of the same sex are the same fucking thing. It's as if the United States has completely desensitized themselves to things that hurt other people. We think of Americans as a race! Why? I do not wish to be a part of this awful race if this is what it is coming down to. I would rather be fucking alien in outerspace than be an American and have to walk around each day with the shame of knowing what horrible things our country has done. Our people. My people. Your people. You. Me. Her. Him. WE DID THIS. I wish I was 18 and I could do my part to get this good-for-nothing president out of office and elect someone who will maybe do some right for this country. PLEASE. If you are 18 vote. Take action, get what this country needs. The fact that our country is so stupid as to have a woman first apologize for the men's actions. How utterly embarassing for the men and women of that culture. How awful knowing that you have been humiliated and then being slapped in the face by having an underclass woman telling you that she is sorry. I do not agree with the religious practices of the Iraqi's, but that does not mean that I do not respect them. I am sick of this country and it's stupid-ass mistakes that it keeps making over and over again.
Goodluck Future Generations Of America.
Have a good day.
