Why? Why? Why?
So, yesterday was the first day of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. I’m not really a fan of hurricanes, though I’ve never actually been through one. I’ve been through a tropical storm before. Typically, hurricanes don’t come to this part of the state.
Right now on TFL’s board, we’re discussing why other countries hate the US. So far its been pretty interesting. Let’s see, there’s the typical anti-Bush stuff that most folks have going on. Then, there’s the whole “Americans act like they’re better than everyone else” stuff. But perhaps the most interesting is that some folks hate America because we have so many fat people. 
EXCUSE ME?! People hate an entire country because there are overweight people in it. How is that right? How is that justified? How can you hate an entire nation because some people have weight problems? I had to keep from screaming when I read that comment. I just can’t believe the ignorance of some people.
Someone else said that people shouldn’t bash Bush and should support him until he’s out of office. Why? I’m not going to sugarcoat how I feel about Bush. I mean, I don’t hate him, but I’m not going to lie and say that I like the man. (I should be given bonus points for not hating the guy.) I’m also not going to back him when he’s only backing the rich, white, straight, Christian men in this country. Why should I have to back a man who I disagree with? That would be being dishonest and wrong.
Anyways…I didn’t go vote yesterday. The Democratic candidates were (for the most part) uncontested. I couldn’t force myself to vote for Republicans. Unfortunately, Tom Parker got the nomination. Why? He’s not qualified. He’s only going to be a lap dog for Roy Moore. He’s probably going to end up causing more problems than he’s worth. So, why did people vote for him?
I made it so you can ask me questions without going to the Q&A page. I hope people don’t abuse this feature, but I hope people begin to ask more questions.

I can understand why the US is hated to a point, but I think slot of people take it way too far. For instance, what you said about the being overweight thing. I also hate when just because they know or hear of a few dumbass Americans, they automatically stereotype the entire country as being that way. It’s just ignorant. But yeah. Blah. And it’s cool that you are honest about your political opinions, you should be. You have every right. By the way, its still Sarah (phoenixsarah from Celestial). I just keep moving my domain around. Heh.
Oh, I love Hurricanes, Though, I’d hate to be in one. It’d e so scary - It’s good they don’t come past where you live though.
I agree with your opinion on Bush, I don’t like him much either. Though what he does doesn’t exactly effect me - I live in Australia/
Hate an entire country because some people are overweight?? geez why not hate the whole world there are over weighted people everywhere! not just in the US, blah …some people,lol
I think its more the image that is potrayed to the outside world about America, I must admit when people here think of Americans its usually associated with them being over-weight, its a stereotype that is put out by American sit-coms and bad press that is extended to the rest of the world. It was a bit narrow minded of them to give that as a reason for hating America! but on some level I can see where they’re coming from
Thats a dumb reason to haet america just because of overweight people. I’m not from USA and I’m evening getting pretty angry at that. Those people who post those type of comments just show how stupid people are.
hey i just stumbled across your site, and read that you have bipolar disorder, i have it too. i’m dosed up on meds right now, and hopefully i can be taken off of it next year. it’s good to know i’m not the only young girl with it
argh I had a really long entry about overweight people and how i agreed with you lol but i didn’t put my email address in (cos i was getting spam grr lol) and then it erased it *sighs* ah well loving the hp layout xx keep it up*!
I really am not sure why so many countries hate the whole US, its not r fault we have a total moron for a president
lol. I swear, if we hada woman in office, things would be so much better. but no, “men” always have to be the leaders. and u were right about bush, all he duz favors 4 is the rich,white,straight,and christian men. And republicans wonder y so many ppl hate him?
…….i hate it when ppl require emails….its unneeded…..anyhow i dont think the US has had any real great leaders in my life time that i recall but the original bush wasnt half bad
