I am not an optimist: I am not a pessimist: I am a realist. You might think that I am negative and that I bitch a lot- but I really just can't stand ignorant, stupid Americans, which in then turns me into a raging cunt. I hate when people don't use full sentences via texting and instant messaging. This has led our youth to be illiterate. I can't stand new age parents and their bratty children. People need to be required to take exams, have an IQ that's at least 120, and take parenting classes before they procreate. We have to be 18 to vote, we have to be 21 to drink, we have to be 24 to rent a car...Why is there no age limit for having kids??? Especially with the over population problem. I don't understand this country and its laws against gay marriage. If women have the right to their own bodies with the topic of abortion then why can't people have the right to marry who they want <not for="" the="" holy,="" sacred="" bond="" of="" christianity=""> but for the legal advantages such as health insurance and taxes? Oh that's right...because the fucking Bible dictates what we can and cannot do in this "open" to all religions country. </not>

I love my parents < SONJA AND JOHN ENGLE> - They're my hero's. <3 They have taught me to be open minded, sincere, compassionate, and to appreciate everything that is done for me, given to me, or said to me. Thank you mom and dad for giving me this life. I love you and don't know what I would do without you.
