I made this thread specifically to have peoples voice heard through words.
What bugs you these days?
What concerns you?
What pisses you off?
What needs to be done about what?
There are many things that ale me in these days of trouble, and I want to know if anyone can relate.
The things that are really troubling me right now are porn, the crisis in Darfur, hate crimes, George W. Bush, racism based on stupid and sometimes meaningless reason and opinion, the war in Iraq, terrorism, (A)ttention (D)eficit (D)isorder, people's constant loss of faith and/or the belief in God, greed, drugs, violence, sex, no really good friends to hang out and talk with that often(aside from not that many friends in the first place), I really want to have a great, loving, understanding, and caring girlfriend, and I want Jesus to come back soon and fix these things. I'm sure I'm not the only one who waits for this.

I'm sure you know what i'm pissed off about. To tell you the truth, this one dude wouldn't let up trying to get me to drink. I had to chike slam him to get em to piss off. Drugs, alchohol, carefree sex, the belief that sex is the answer to everything, the belief that drugs solve problems. The basic conversations kids have at my CHRISTIAN school "rape, drugs, alchohol, fights, smoking" all of it. Sometime i just wanna beat the hell outa them. if not physically, then spiritually, show them just how retarded they are. Immaturity... i know its a part of kids and adolescents... but i think the kids today take it too damn far.
drugs: immaturity
premarrital sex: immaturity
smoking: immaturity
alchohol:immaturity.
these people are so stuck up on the fact that they might be "cool" because they're holding a beer, or a cig, or a joint in their hands are so stupid. It pisses me the frack off. I want a gf that i know i can trust. that doesnt have an overactive sex drive (like most i've ended up with), is deeper in her walk with God than I, so i can look to her as a model to follow, one that will love me for who i am, not how i look (big problem there) and that has the same moral beliefs as I. equality in christianity, all faiths are the same, regardless of what people teach in their so called doctrine. One that refuses to drink, smoke, do drugs, or have sex before marriage (will help get rid of the seductive problems i've had with past gfs -_-)

People who get on a moral high horse and deem it fit to judge others based an miniscule aspect of their personality and resort to violence to uphold their delusion of moral superiority. biggrin Oh, and in the thread title, I think you want "ails," not "ales." Ale is the stuff you drink in pubs.

*groans* What I hate a whole lot is when people think that they don't owe anyone anything, that even though we're all human they can do whatever they want to anybody for no reason. Like they're just so cool and bad that it doesn't matter who it is, they can hurt them anyway they like and they don't need a reason. That really bothers me.
The promotion of teenage sex disturbs me. Are we really ready for that? I don't think so. It's so much more of a big deal than the media makes it seem.
And people who judge/are mean. I hate silly judgements.
I also want to find someone who can help me in my walk with God. (obviously a guy, though) My first love was like that. He was such a strong believer; it was so good for me. Every guy I've dated since then has been less than moral...way less. I want a really dedicated Christian who can help me and who I can help back. Where did they go???? crying

tell me how it's not immature to think that drugs, alchohol, smoking, and pre marrital sex gets you popularity and the "cool factor" please, do. I've watched so many friends destroy thier lives from this stuff, and everytime i try to help them, they push me away, saying i'm "not cool" cuz i dont do the stupid stuff they do. Do you drink... smoke... drugs... perhaps had sex though your not married...???? It's not a moral high horse. It's the result of watching the people you love the most destroy their life. Both my brothers are f---ed because they made the idiotic choices to do all of those things. Now i get to watch as my older brothers spiral head first to self destruction. as for the violence... I'd rather die than drink. I plan on having a family when i grow up. i come from a family of drug abusers, alchoholics, and smokers. (i'm adopted) i refuse to be like that. i refuse to drink, i'm afraid i'll end up like my brothers, and be an a*****e for a husband, and a dead beat father. I wanna be there for my kids, not beat them. And i want to stay true to the vows i make to my wife when i get married. I want to love my family when i get it. Smoking would be bad for my health, and theirs. Plus i;m in a band, i'm the vocals, smoking doesn't help the vocals. Drugs... do i even have to say it?? And premarrital sex... I'm waiting for my wife, who ever she may be. I dont wanna live with the guilt. I have enough of it on my shoulders as it is. I blame myself for almost everything. So i'm not on a moral high horse, i've set goals for my life, and God has told me what he wants... to a point. Everytime that bullshit is offered to me, i get this really stern NO inside. its not even me thinking. I don't question, i follow. its that simple.

Everytime that bullshit is offered to me, i get this really stern NO inside. its not even me thinking. I don't question, i follow. its that simple. You look down on people who do things like drink, smoke, do drugs, or have pre-marrital sex. Maybe your friends are indeed stupid. I wouldn't know. I don't know your friends. But there's a lot of reasons that people will do those things. A lot of reasons, and to judge everyone who has done or is doing such things and throwing them all into the same catagory as immature morons is...well, equally immature and moronic. If you don't want to do that stuff, then good for you. I'm not saying you should. But don't look down your nose at the junkie in the street, because you don't know them, you don't know what drove them to be what they are, and you haven't lived their life. Everyone has a story, and until you know that story inside and out (which is extremely unlikely, even if you know the person well), you shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Everytime that bullshit is offered to me, i get this really stern NO inside. its not even me thinking. I don't question, i follow. its that simple. Ah, this is where it gets sticky. I don't do drugs, smoke, or drink. I've never tried any of it, except for an accidental drink of some kind of alcohol in my living room. (it was clear liquid in a glass, I had no idea) I really don't see the point. I'll probably drink a little when it's legal for me, but maybe not. Definitely not anything hardcore or beer...I don't really understand why anyone drinks those. The thing is...most of my friends don't know, but I have had sex. I wish it would have never happened. I don't know...actually, I DO know how I got so sucked in. I've always wanted someone to love me (I have moderate depression and have for my whole life more or less) and have always been far too trusting. It got me in trouble. I would urge ANYONE to wait. Don't have sex now, it's not worth it. The best part about the whole ordeal is that it's all forgiven. In the eyes of the Lord, it's as if it never happened. I'm a born-again virgin. I'm still trying to get past it. If God can forgive me, then I can fogive myself, but it's not always that easy. BUT I believe that my husband will forgive me. I believe he love me, despite all the mistakes I've made. "Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before, hurt myself again today, and the worst part is that there's noone else to blame"

Sometimes it's easier to break down and let is all fall apart. I always get annoyed when people are so quick to judge is because I have done all those things. I was a messed up kid. I had emotional probelms. People who didn't know me ten years ago probably wouldn't guess that I used to be so messed up. I just got my Master's. I live in a comfortable apartment with my spouse and step-son. I have a steady, well-paying job. I know which wines go with which kinds of food. I'm not hiding any needles or crack pipes. I go to confession and Mass every week. Really, for all apparent purposes, I'm pretty normal. But I can't look down on anyone, because that kid they found in a ditch somewhere with a needle in his arm could have been me. And yeah, I've put my life back together, but I'm still the same person who did all those "bad" things. That will always be a part of me.

I've never been a druggy, but I've done things that I'm really REALLY not proud of. My mom said something about a girl who had a baby today, and I was just like, "so? why's it matter?" because that could have been ME! I'm soooo fricken lucky that I'm healthy, STD free, and have never been pregnant. Maybe there was no chance of any of that stuff happening, but you never really know. Life is hard; sometimes we choose the wrong outlets. I'm glad you have a good life now. A good success story is something we all need.
