Sometimes a stupid comment is just that : a stupid comment. It doesn't necessarily mean that someone is a villain.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter!

Also, the disparity between being "infuriated" and listening to "Ni Hao, Kai Lan" makes me chuckle.

[sierrawyndsong]

my daughter says Ni Hao!
she adores kai-lan

[sierrawyndsong]

thank you for reading!
subscribe away...altho i have no idea how you do that yet..!!

my friend xaviera likes to read because she says i still have my journalist filter on.....
and so often the presentation is a neutral ground, devil's advocate essay and she picks out both sides and thinks about them...

[sierrawyndsong]

but you know,my husband and i know the shows we allow my daughter to watch because we sit down and watch with her (big Noggin supporters)
and it is so hard to watch my daughter 'getting it' at a young age, where she is presented with tons of diversity and will have a wonderful positive filter....which makes me happy

but then, its part of what infuriated me...why can't some of these people just sit down, watch kai-lan or wubbzy and learn the lessons there?

Jesus! I wish I'd known you when I had problems with an asshole on lj.

[sierrawyndsong]

hugs!

i am glad people understand it for what i intended...
that simply, we should be nice

yeah, there are a lot of mean people on the internet....
there wouldn't be optimists without pessimists!

People should know better than to mess with journalists. Well said!

[sierrawyndsong]

"I will rip your head off and stick it on a pike so I can smile and wave at it while I am blogging my thoughts on the experience"

That simply made my day, I think you should put that phrase on a t-shirt-you would make millions. Absolutely wonderful post.

[sierrawyndsong]

sadly i loosely ripped it from b5

so there is probably already a shirt

[sierrawyndsong]

errr. the quote, not the entry :)

[patndoc]
