Let People Be Themselves

I would like to take a moment to appreciate that group of awesome friends that you have, that group that talks about anything and everything, everyone has their own opinions, and yet they can still all agree on certain topics. I have a group of friends like that, and even though I've never met them in person, I must say they're pretty cool.
For example. One person posted this in our Facebook Group last night:

With the post, "People like this make me fear for the future of humanity." And this started a discussion between some of us on our opinions. I had to copy and paste it here because I thought it fit the theme of what my blog is perfectly. So here was our discussion.

Jess:  ‎-loses faith in humanity once again- e.e

Cornell:  People amaze me sometimes... Its not so much the man that bothers me (well he bothers me too, but), its the fact that the congregation sounds like they're supporting what he says. That means that the majority of the people he's teaching agree that you should "punch the gay out of your children."

Ashley:  I don't enjoy being punched..

Jess:  That is so wrong to say the least. Let the kids alone. It's their lives and their choices to make, not the parents. I'm a tomboy and there is nothing wrong the way I am. I don't like being girly at all and if people have a problem with that, too bad so sad just deal with it.

Cornell:  Yeah, I personally tend to like tomboy-ish girls more than girly girls. It would suck for me if dudes like this forced all women to be girly girls. I completely agree that you need to let people be who they are.

Jess:  Thank you Cornell :D

Tiffany:  ‎.-. This fuckery.

Allie:  That is pathetic

Katherine: I don't get why those people would even laugh at this, it isn't funny. People are who they are, that's what makes everyone unique in their own way. Why would you force you're son to do something like that is he doesn't want too? >.> Some people hate how I dress like a girly girl, and look girly girl and stuff, and act more guy-ish. Deal with it, this is who I am.

Katherine:  They shouldn't force someone to be something they aren't.

Allie: Me too Jess. Hell I just watched Iron Man for God's sake. That's the epitamy of non-girliness. I do not like being a girly girl I will do as many boyish things as I like. And everyone else should have that option. Like y'all said its the kid's life not the parents. It doesn't matter who they are or what they do they're human and theyre their own person and they can make their own choices and be the person they want to be.

Jess:  WHO CARES what other people think. Do WHAT makes YOU happy. If they don't like it tough.

Allie:  I could go on all day about this. This is probably the number one thing I stand for for more than anything else

Allie: People should be allowed to be the kind of person they want to be. Honestly, I know parents want their kids to be successful and blah blah blah. But honestly, I don't want to be successful if it means doing something I dont want to do. I'm only going to live on this planet once and I'm going to do so by doing what I want to do. I don't care if I end up living on the damn streets honestly. If it means I can do the things I want to do then damnit I'll do it. I dont care about surviving or fitting in or being successful. I just want to be happy with my life and what I'm doing with it

Cornell:  You know, I'm a fairly religious person. But I still don't agree with the idea that religion equals destroying homosexuality. In my opinion, if the person is born that way; if their brains are wired in such a way as to make them think in a "homosexual manner," then how can you judge them? Aren't they G-d's creations as well? Surely G-d knew what he was doing when he made their minds. So in my opinion, by saying that these people are wrong, pastor's like this are essentially saying that G-d made a mistake. And there's my religious perspective on it. :P

Allie: Everyones entitled to their own opinion. And they have every right to live by it. I believe in religion to a decent point. But I don't have one set religion. Because some things I don't believe in in one. And in others there are somethings I believe in. People are too tight about old ways and such sometimes. They don't realize that the world is changing. An with it are the people. And our beliefs

Katherine: I would consider myself agnostic, but there are certain things from some religons I believe. So I don't know what I would consider it to be.

Allie:  Can someone copy and paste all this into a document and email it to me? I want to put it on my blog. Not that anyone reads it but it fits the theme of it perfectly and I wanna post it

Cornell:  I love the fact that despite our differences we all agree on stuff like this. :D

I'm Allie, so you know what my opinions are. And it's true. Letting people be themselves is the one thing I stand for more than anything else. Because people should be allowed to choose how they want to live their lives. If they're enjoying it, then that's all that matters.

Hope you enjoy, and you agree with us.
