  • What is wrong with people?

    If you haven't heard of this by now well, you should..So, here you go:

    Really? What is wrong with people nowadays? Why do they feel the need to open up their mouths on EVERYTHING? What ever happened to the good old days when people actually respected each other and didn't say everything because they could..

    This is just another form of bullying. Not just between adults/parents but also to the kids. How does this mean old woman not know that one of the kids she deems 'obese' has a health issue? Not only does it make the kids feel horrible it also makes the parents feel horrible. Kids also go through 'chubby' phases, lady. This crabby old woman should simply be handing out crayons to the kids or something that isn't candy or a healthy food like raisins. You do have to take a 'stance' on a holiday that is suppose to be fun for the kids. You are not only ruining it for the kids but also for the parents of these kids.

    I also wouldn't be surprised if her house ends up egged or covered in toilet paper by the end of the night. One year, when I was living with my ex Halloween fell on a Friday. We all somehow ended up having issues getting off of work on time to get the festivities started. Yeah, kids got mad and killed the mailbox overnight. All because we were about an hour late on starting the candy hand-out. I can't imagine the ripple something like this would cause in the community.

    Further more, kids are creative nowadays..I wouldn't be shocked to find out that the kids in the neighborhood started putting rotten apples on her front porch or even throwing apples at her house since they are 'healthy' now aren't they.

    The moral of this story yet again is that yes, we have freedom of speech. Yes, you can say things because you want to but that doesn't mean there won't be backlash and people will upset with what you say. If you think maybe just maybe it'll make someone angry or upset..Don't say it! Oh, and just so I can say it yet again(I've said it in a few other blogs before) Mind your own business!
