Charting The Years That Young People Will Start To Forget Things

thedailyfeed:

The number of U.S. job openings in June climbed to 3.8 million, a level not seen since the summer of 2008. But many available jobs are going unfilled. 

Although almost 13 million people remain on unemployment rolls, U.S. companies and organizations have 3.8 million positions to fill, up from 3.2 million a year ago. For each open job in the country, there are only 3.4 job seekers.

“We’re in the healing process,” said Wells Fargo economist Sam Bullard. “But it’s going to take some time.”

When a white supremacist goes on a killing spree, it’s just another tragic inevitable consequence of living in an imperfect world. When a Muslim does the same thing, we actually expect the government to do something about it.

Right-wing terrorism has been on the rise in America, but the Department of Homeland Security doesn’t seem concerned.

Alright bring on the haters! I love me some CHIK-FIL-A!!!! Now hear me out before you call me a judgmental whore or some other name that has no relation to the topic at hand what so ever. 

I do NOT judge people. I treat EVERYBODY with the respect and dignity as I should.  Black,white,gay,straight I don’t really care your still a person! HOWEVER (emphasis on the however)…this does not mean that I AGREE with these things??? 

I am a christian.  I believe in the bible.  the bible clearly states that God created man to be with women.  If you would like me to provide proof feel free to reply and I will give you numerous amounts of biblical proof.

So basically here is my stance on the whole “boycott chik-fil-a because they hate gay people” situation.  Ummmm…somebody please tell me where the CEO said that he hated gay people??? I am quite curious.  He just stated that he did not believe in same-sex marriage. 

So by saying that he is a terrible person for voicing his opinion this is what I am hearing from you liberals out there:

“We can voice our opinion because we love everybody but if you don’t believe the same way that we believe you can’t say anything because you are a terrible person and don’t have a right to your opinion.”

O cry me a freaking river.  We have a right to our opinion and so do you so just back the heck off! I have THREE gay cousins.  Doesn’t mean I agree with it…in fact i strongly disagree….but i still love them with all my heart and would never treat them any differently!

So do us all a favor and get off your high horse of I know everything and I am amazing because I love everybody.  It’s annoying and all you are doing is driving more people to Chik-fil-a resteraunt.  I waited in the drive through for 45 minutes yesterday because there were that many cars lined up to buy there food!

So let me know what you think OK??

Ok so my mothers new parenting tip/advice. NOTE TO ALL PARENTS:DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

My mother decided today that since I did not fold my laundry the second that I asked her to she was going to fold it all and then take it up the stairs in to the back corner of the attic. See…this is the thing…I’m not scared of the attic…so the lesson that I learned here…if I don’t fold my laundry, my mom will. Is this the lesson that my mother intended??? NOPE! So the teenager:1 parent:0 we will see how long this continue
