I Won't Judge You
I love Similar Words. I have met/made many friends.
Every one is entitled to his or her own opinion -and more power to them, too.
But why do we judge everybody by the way we express our thoughts? If you don't agree with me on certain things, say so plainly. Don't get "smarmy" with me and tell me to go back to my "education" or refer to my history.
I loved the subject of history when I was a student. I followed things we touched on but never explored on my own. Because I was interested. I shared bits and pieces with others who mentioned a topic or two that I knew about. But (and you knew that was coming) - I never, ever, FOREVER saw or heard anything pertaining to people killing and eating babies to prevent famine.I got sharp-tonged replies telling me to go back to my anthropology studies and my history. Then the Cherokee nation was downgraded, saying it was a "white way" of saying "wannabe". Hey, -no! I take offense! My brother-in-law IS a Cherokee Indian (half) and his father was a chieftain, full-blooded. I am PROUD of this knowledge and won't STAND for any one downgrading him. The Cherokee people were a strong and proud tribe, a credit to their present-day descendants.
If you see something posted that you KNOW is objectionable, question the writer - but don't downgrade their education or their studies of history. I studied both Early World and Modern World History, and a full year of U.S. History.. too. I think I am well-versed enough to know and remember a few things...
But I don't recall beating and eating children on rocks.
