Holy shit I feel old
(15 years ago)
I want these shoes please. Kthx.
So let me get this straight – it’s a problem if my mom listened too much to my dad, but it’s a heroic act if the President made a massive change in a policy position that could affect the entire nation after consulting with his teenage daughters?
While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.
In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.
Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee
"- Bristol Palin on the President’s thoughts on same sex marriage.
The words that jump out to me a lot are “not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage”, “general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home”, “dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking”, and that President should have helped “shape” their thoughts (meaning he should brainwash them into thinking we’re still thousands of years behind in marriage rights”)
Sorry to burst your bubble Bristol, but it is 2012. There have been same sex couples since the ages of the anciet Greeks and probably further back. Some of the most famous people from the Renaissance are actually thought to have been homosexual. It shouldn’t matter. People should be able to marry whoever they want. There is nothing wrong with loving who you love, MAN or WOMAN. And you saying these things isn’t right. People like you shouldn’t think you can choose who someone you don’t even know can marry. If it’s not your life, then what is the problem? Mind your business and start putting yourself in others shoes. Imagine if you couldn’t marry the person you love, how would you feel?
Also, you’re being a hypocrite, if you’re not going to follow “thousands of years of thinking” on marriage as well but yet telling others they should be. So before you start judging others, take a hard look at yourself.
