Dear friends, there seems to be some confusion. The point of physical education classes and working out at the gym is NOT to lose weight. The point of these activities is to keep your heart and body healthy. Just because someone is skinny does mean gym class is any less important for them. It's sad when America has become so focused on the issue of obesity that you think the only purpose of working out and being active is to become skinny and that once you have achieved this, there's no point to it anymore.
While we're on this topic, I almost must say that it's time for this skinny-girl hate to stop. Every single day I see posts on Facebook saying "Don't try to be skinny - REAL men love women with curves!" Do any of you ever stop to think how that makes women who are naturally skinny feel? Believe this or not, I know girls who eat until they're sick trying to be curvy because now that's what they think beauty is. Women, stop falling prey to the media! Do you see what you're doing to each other? ALL women are beautiful - no matter what size they wear! Heavy, curvy, skinny - it doesn't matter! True beauty is on the INSIDE and if you can't see that then you're part of the very same society you curse every day for holding you up to ridiculous standards. If you must judge each other, stop judging each other and yourselves by the size of your clothes and instead judge each other by the size of your character. THAT'S what matters.

So much of the media is filled with stupid distractions from what's real.
No one has any clue about half of what is going on in this world.
The media convinces you that you're living in a world of violence and terror and that you are powerless to do anything about it.
They convince you that you have to be the President or a member of Congress to make change and all YOU can do is sit and watch your tv to see what will happen.
That's all lies.
There are 535 people in Congress, 1 President, and 311,591,917 Americans.
Who do you think has the most power?
If we would all step outside of the media and work together, we could turn this country - this WORLD - into the free, loving, equal, and peaceful place it deserves to be.
But the media has turned you into SHEEP.
They take advantage of your emotions and use them to fulfill their agenda.
Think about it...
Congress wants more gun control.
Have you noticed how many stories have recently been all over the news about recent gun violence?
Suddenly, it seems as though gun violence has exploded all over the world! But it hasn't. In fact, gun violence has been decreasing since the 1970's. Bet you didn't know that! Why do I say that? Because I'm certain many of you who are posting your anti-gun rants haven't taken a minute of your time to research that. You see the heart-breaking murder of children and immediately become vengeful against those who commit crime with guns. You may do research, but you only research topics that SUPPORT your view - never once taking the time to open-mindedly look at the opposing facts.
And when that law comes to vote, you'll all be rushing to the polls to fulfill Congress' wishes - you'll be blindly checking off one more task on their agenda.
Are you seeing it yet, little sheep?
Burn the agenda, prove to the world that you are intelligent human beings - not sheep! Rise up and fight for what you KNOW is right and quit settling for what's "good enough!"

Don't believe my statement about violence?

I worry about future generations. I look at the generation directly beneath my own and see them lacking so much. It's sad when we need a new dictionary for chat-speak because the latest generations are too lazy to even write out an entire word. It seems the increase in technology leads to a decrease in intelligence. Ever since I got a cell phone, my memory has decreased. Who shouldn't it? I don't need to use it near as much anymore. As a child, I could remember multiple phone numbers and now I can barely remember my own. I see an even greater gap forming from the upper class and lower class and this gap is not directly due to just our economy. Those with intelligence are making new technologies that the lower class is becoming dependent on. They keep getting richer and richer and the mass of the population keeps getting dumber and dumber. We're becoming sheep to the system. Do you not see it?
It seems to be human nature to follow, we just have a faulty system of choosing WHO to follow. Just like in wolf packs, most wolves follow while some were just born into a natural state of leadership. Human history shows we follow a similar path - just with horrible judgement of who to follow. Change is made by the herders - be it good or bad. If you choose a corrupt leader, such as Hitler, you end up with the holocaust. If you choose a good-hearted leader, like Martin Luther King Jr., you end up with the civil rights movement and success. If you choose to follow multiple leaders with mixed agendas, such as today's political leaders and the media, you end up with a very confused and corrupted society, such as our society in America.
