Going away for a few days makes you realize how much you love hate where you're from.

Some of this post made sense, however, the majority of you completely contradict, and other parts were just incorrect.

For instance, "Nuclear attacks became a threat and everyone and their brother ran out to the nearest army navy store and bought gas masks."

Nuclear attacks include hydrogen bombs, atom bombs, and other nuclear weapons. No one bought gas masks out of fear of nuclear weapons...a gas mask wouldnt save you. Ever heard of a little place called Hiroshima? On August 6, 1945 Hiroshima was almost completely destroyed by the first atomic bomb. The number of people saved by a gas mask: Zero. Gas masks are used for chemical and sometimes biological warfare.

Next, America is the fattest country in the world. Diet pills, atkins, pilates, "fancy exercise equiptment," and gastric bypass surgery isnt so people can fit in America's idea of beauty or perfection. Being fat is unhealthy. Now people have more options on how to lose weight and to better their lives, whats so fucking wrong with that? What right do you have to judge someone who takes pills to lose weight and be healthy? What makes you think it is to fir into America's social standards? What makes you any different from a fucking 600lb man who eats pills to lose weight, even if by chance it is to "fit in" as you say? You paint on your eyebrows Jen! You wear more makeup then Anna Nicole Smith! You photoshop every single picture of yourself so you will look good! You have no right to preach to anyone about "being real." You are the same as everyone else in the stupid fucking scene. you preach about individuality and being yourself and being happy....youre miserable, and you cant even deal with the eyebrows you were born with! Seriously, dont judge. sorry if i sound mean, but the whole fucking entry is bunk.

"Does anyone actually mean that when they say it? Or anything for that matter? I know half the time I truly don't. "
Wow. If this doesnt show that you're fake, then i dont know what does. This entry fucking disgusts me.

First of all i would like to start off by agreeing with your statement that gas masks wouldn't do a thing to protect someone from a nuclear attack. On the contrary....i made that statement because after america became frightened that they could possibly be the target of a nuclear attack it was noted that people began to purchase gas masks for whatever reason.

I never once claimed to not be the epitome of the entry. By making this entry I was stating an issue that I felt was significant. Everyone is concerned with their appearance and those who claim they are not lie. If you actually read my entry through and considered it I was not making any personal attacks on people at all. I was just stating that fear of becoming something that is considered wrong or bad in the eyes of the world is generally what holds people back from pursuing what they want. If someone is overweight and unhealthy I am an avid contender that they should seek some method to better their physical health. On the other hand people who are getting surgery, popping pills, or getting on diets because they feel like they are not good looking is a totally different case. Not to mention the fact that a great deal of diet pills are more detrimental then beneficial, a great deal of surgeries are COSMETIC and do endanger the lives of the patient, and such diets as Atkins have been proven to be harmful, and sometimes deadly.

In reference to the statement made directly about me.
Number one, I do not draw on my eyebrows to "fit in", because firstly it most definitely does not make me any more normal than the next guy. That idea is pretty humorous considering I get a lot of negative comments and ridicule, such as yours about what i choose to do with myself. Secondly, the whole reason why I draw them on was because I personally liked the way it looks. Just for the record, i started drawing my eyebrows on because I was interested in 50's cosmetology and the entire era for that matter, not because i was unhappy with the way my real eyebrows looked. If you were to ask anyone who draws on their eyebrows it is rarely because they didn't like the way that their eyebrows, specially considering that you can pluck and wax your eyebrows to be any size or shape desirable. Hmm I wear more makeup then Anna Nicole Smith? Thats a bit of an overstatement, since we are trying to stick to the facts here. I don't consider drawing in my eyebrows and sometimes wearing eyeshadow a great deal of makeup. The only photoshopping i do of my pictures is to lighten them and resize them. I don't even have a photoshop on my computer for that matter. Not to mention that everyone i have ever met edits their photos.
As i said before this entry wasn't an attack on anyone and I was not trying to pass judgment. I was just making the point that a great majority of people prohibit themselves from living the way they want to because they are afraid of the consequences. I wasn't claiming to not be a part of this entry, I was just stating that their should be a change in the world and myself. Im not going to go on a rant and not admit that I myself am flawed as well. Unlike some people Im not going to pretend to be perfect and right in every way. I appreciate the fact that you stated a contradictory opinion to what I posted. It's nice to know that everyone doesn't hold the same views on everything, but a majority of my post was quite vague so you shouldn't jump to assumptions about what I am trying to state.
