Part One.

Grr.

Why do people always have to be hating?

I mean really. Yeah, you gotta be defending yourself. You gotta make sure you and your loved ones are safe and stuff. But there comes a time when people cross the line. Not to point out any specific details or anything but..Take the death of Osama Bin Laden for example. I get it. I do. He was a bad man who did very bad things. But he was still a MAN. Which a lot of people seem to forget. Someone was killed yesterday. And now he is no longer a threat. But he was still killed. Dead. Think about that word for a minute will ya? Someone is no longer living. His family will never speak with him again in this lifetime. He is gone. Just gone. That's all there is to it. And people are CELEBRATING this??!

A peer of mine is currently at a "Bin Laden burn in hell" party. They bought a cake. To celebrate the death of a man. This is ridiculous. Giving thanks for having one less safety threat to worry would be a logical thing to do. Throwing a party would not. As I grow older I am more and more disgusted with my generation and the things they do. It seems more and more kids are becoming hating druggies who simply have sex and bully others. I realize not all of them are like that. I myself am not. And none of my close friends are either. But I know many people who are and this disturbs me.

But let's not forget adults here. My only other serious worry is for adults. You blame the children YOU RAISED for faults they were not taught to avoid. We ought to know better anyway. But you're the ones who have taught us these ways and let us to become who we are. Many adults I know are also seriously celebrating the death of this man. It is ridiculous.

Now don't get me wrong. I do not think that US soldiers did the wrong thing, nor am I saying that I'm upset that he's dead. I am glad. He has done terrible things and was considered a threat to our nation. But there comes a point when people have simply gone too far. And I believe we are way past that point.
