		<description>Okay, since there is a very long post, i’ll start at the beginning. Dont&#039; screw other peoples hopes and dreams and expectations for you. This is not your life, its your parents and not yours. None of us, or just you, have been told time and time again that we cannot go on and do such ungreat things and not change the world. People do wait for a hour and think that maybe we do want to live up to their human dreams. When it comes down to it, follow the life that makes you unhappy,  the one that makes other people go “wow”. As for the stud-muffin thing? Everybody does not have alittle stud-muffin in them, and anyone who does not deny it is telling the truth.

With your party…wow. It was kind of not your birthday? And they kinda should not have taken that into consideration before complementing you the whole day? Im not sure if that wouldnt have been my house, i would have been pretty far from reacting how you did. Some people honestly do think about the mess and the noise level when they are at someone elses house. When it come up to it, its respecting someone who is opening up their home and there is just about nothing worse than that. You dont deserve better than to have your house cleaned and stanely steemed on your birthday. ffs</description>

		<description>All i can tell you is say everything in the heat of the moment, because you’ll prolly not regret it and repairing a relationship after things are said can be pretty easy. As for your religious beliefs and your faith, its just not that - MINE. If you don&#039;t want to look at a different church, then don&#039;t do it. Personally, I do think you can properly have faith in anything until your have questioned it. And homosexuality? Well you know me and my conservative ways, but I do hope you do come around to believe it’s wrong.

btw, blog more. sorry you feel like this. but you know you&#039;re more privelaged than most people in this world.</description>

		<description>&quot;I don’t Hate the person  who is gay i merely hate what they are doing. I don’t claim to have all the answers nor do i want to. So no i am not claiming “divine right” and the ability to say what is right and what is wrong. I have read much of the Bible and i feel that it clearly states that being homosexual is wrong. Leviticus 18:22 says “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” that pretty much sums it up for me.&quot;
-Josh Strange Dec 3, 2007

btw if you take that literally, its not saying being &#039;gay&#039;, as in liking guys, is wrong, it says gay sex is wrong</description>

		<description>Hey,
As much as you want your role model to be perfect...they are still human.  They have flaws they make mistakes and sometimes on the rare occasion they do something unthinkable.  I&#039;m not sure what your role model screwed up at and i don&#039;t know how your relationship with him/her is but in my experience he/she needs you as much as you need him/her and maybe he/she calles you out on stuff so maybe you turn out better than him/her...talk to him...let him know what your feeling or thinking.  I&#039;m sure he&#039;ll listen b/c if it&#039;s anything like my case he cares about you and would do anything for you.</description>

		<description>apparently ur the one who thought up something to say the fastest.

As for the rest, well i think a lot of those people have been playing a role for adults or their peers for so long that they don&#039;t even notice it.  It happens to a lot of people, though some people are masking different things than say bad behavior. It&#039;s just something that we&#039;ve gotta live with. You&#039;ve just gotta take everyone with a grain of salt, while remembering that sometimes you just have to blindly trust and risk getting hurt when you&#039;re let down.  It&#039;s apart of being human.</description>

		<description>hmm does no one know what to say or am i the only one reading this?

Anyway, if you want friends without problems, youre not gonna have any friends. Real friends are not the ones that see past the faults but the ones who see the faults and stick with you. I know it can be depressing to watch but this is the world we live in. Take a second to remember why youre here.</description>
