Off My Ass Please.
Politics.
Uck. With the election coming up soon it's nearly impossible to avoid discussions about politics, opinions about politics, fights about politics...
I'm a Catholic Republican. There. I said it. God. Seriously, it's like it's fucking 400 AD and I'm a Christian hiding from the Romans.
It's extremely unpopular to be a Republican in this town. It was how I was raised. And this year I've done a lot of reading to see if, truly, this is my choice and not just a matter of indoctrination. Well, it's both. It's just like Religion folks. You get taught a certain way of thinking, and it becomes a part of who you are. You can convert, but there will always be a part of you that holds on to those old paradigms.
I'm a conservative girl. I'm not really much of a feminist. I'd like to be a wife and mother some day.
So, it's out in the open now.
I'm ready to be thrown to the lions now.

Dude, I know exactly what you mean.
See, when I was like, 5 years old, I thought that there was this monster that lived under the toilet. And I was sure that he was gonna grab me while I was going to the bathroom and take me to his underground lair and eat me. It scared the hell outta me, and even though I’m grown up now, and there’s plenty of ways to disprove that there was a monster living under my toilet, or that it even possible for any monster to live under any toilet… I still have to believe it and be afraid of it. I mean, its what I believed when I was young… what are ya gonna do?
So don’t listen to those people who would tell you the idea of empirical belief only adheres to squirrels and retards… they just don’t understand that there’s absolutely no way to “research” an issue in the hopes of “learning” about it, and “changing your mind.” Those things are fallacies.
Thank you for being brave.
