For A While
By Mona Lease

Hi, all!! The following is purely my opinion. It's also what I have witnessed during my time on this earth. I am more than a little tired of hearing this or that is "offensive" to me.

Life is full of "offensive things"...and paying attention to them is what has gotten us where we are as a country.

Women working in a factory during WW1 was "offensive"...for a while.

Women getting the right to vote was "offensive"...for a while.

Women being in an active role in our military was "offensive"...for a while.

Women getting abortions without telling the Father was offensive"...for a while.

Women having children out of wedlock was "offensive"...for a while.

Women smoking cigarettes was "offensive"...for a while.

Women working a man's job and getting equal pay for it was "offensive"...for a while.

Women working and buying property on their own merit was "offensive"...for a while.

Women being alone in a bar, day or night, was "offensive"...for a while.

Women drinking alcohol was "offensive"...for a while.

Morphine was used on the battlefield during WW11. It made it's way to the kiddies and was "offensive"...for a while.

Acid, Electric Kool-Aid, and the like in the 60's was "offensive"...for a while.

Bath Salts, AngelDust, and other chemicals was "offensive",,,for a while.

Eating Tide Pods, laying your hand on a red-hot electric burner (called the "heat test") and seeing how long you can hold it there, putting an all metal knife on your tongue..the other end on the arcing end of a tazer and turning on the tazer...are all "offensive" and will be...for a while.

If we keep looking at the "offensive" things and not to our lives and how we relate to each other...it's only gonna get worse.

Does anyone else see a pattern here? Who'd like to see these same people drinking alcohol?

I will complain about the heat. I will complain about the cold.
I will complain about the sunshine. I will complain about growing old.
I will complain about everything inside and out.
You will find there's nothing I can't complain about. - Shitz N'Giggles

All whites aren't racist. All blacks aren't criminals.
All Hispanics aren't illegals. But all racism is rooted in ignorance.  - Halos ands Horns Fun Page

Texting is a brilliant way to miscommunicate how you feel, and misinterpret what other people mean. - Peace, Love, and Everything Else

Spend a little more time trying to make something of yourself and a little less time trying to impress people. - The Breakfast Club

Never forget who ignored you when you needed them and who helped you before you even had to ask. - Sexy Bipolar Broad

Remember the kiddies and our service people. Take good care of the furry and feathered ones out there. Be safe and healthy. See ya next time. Ever Toodles!! MONA
