Hi okstatecowgirl87! It's been 781 (wow, that's a big number) days since you joined Xanga... won't you support us by going Premium?

how about instead, i delete all my old posts, quit all my blog rings, unsubcribe to everyone but my sis, bro and mom and never log in again?

oook dokie. so. i finally realized that no one but maybe 2 people read this anymore. and not that many people use it anymore either. so, i went through and did all of the above. I never got any comments from that many different people anyway. my 'friends' from school and the house dont do anything with me anymore, be it xanga, calling, facebook, myspace or saying hi in passing. even most people from church only talk to me at church. any get togethers, lunches or anything besides that, i dont get invited.

now, understand, i'm not trying to throw a pity party. i'm just saying why i'm leaving xanga. it doesnt do anything for me. its talking into nothingness. if i want to just ramble, i'll talk to mike.

so, while going through my posts, i copied a few. these are just things to ponder on.

remember the past
and fear not the future

There is only now -Saphira (from Eldest)

If your opinion is never heard,
do you really have one?

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops (majority of the time over 250,000) in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The death rate in Washington D.C. is 80.6 per 100,000. That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in our Nation's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C

and so, i bid you good bye and fare well. if you need me, facebook me, call me, or email me.

so apparently, chrystel 'stole' this from me and i was about to comment on one of her entries and i noticed someone else's comment. it said thanks for saying no to gay marriage. in case you didnt get it either, these are entirely sarcastic...i'm gonna post them one more time...did you think they were saying no to gay marriage?

Gay Marriage

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America.
09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That's why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

i am going to say this again, i am a social-issue democrat, that means i would vote to let gay marriage happen. not because i agree with it, not because i am gay or bi (i am strait by the way). but because its their right. all of the above point out obvious holes in republicans' defense of their stance on the issue. interracial couples do exist, even if you dont want to see them. there are strait people who destroy what marriage stand for (**cough coughbrittanyspearscough cough**). also, there is definatly more than 1 religon in america, in case you didnt know.

my opinion stems from the fact that God gave us free will. we get to choose every action we do. that pretty much means that we choose the way we sin. so adulturors sin. that includes if a guy pictures a girl naked, in God's eyes, all sins are equal. so if coveting a cool computer of your friends is the same as murdering, what kind of difference is there between having intimate relations with your same sex and commiting adultury against your future husband by having intimate relations with your current boyfriend? or using the lords name in vain? or not honoring your father and mother (and we all know we dont do this)? we have no right to keep people from their freedom of choice of sin as long as it doesnt hurt others.

this is my opinion. i have a right to have it. if you dont agree, argue.
