its the most wonderful time of the year

What is?

What is what?

What is the most wonderful time of the year?

Well, I suppose it would have to be Christmas?

Why would you suppose that?

I don't know, isn't that what the songs says?

Yeah, but by that rational, only people who celebrate Christmas can enjoy the most wonderful time of the year.

So.

SOOOOOOO? That isn't right. It's not fair to exclude people from the most wonderful time of the year because they don't celebrate Christmas.

It's only a song.

Yeah, but who are you to prejudice against anyone?

Well, I would have to say that I am nobody and that everybody needs to relax.

Need to relax . . . oh my god . . . so I suppose you think that its alright for schools to say the pledge of allegiance in class even though it mentions god.

You mentioned god.

So.

SOOOOOOOOOO? Listen, I think my point is . . . if I even have one, is that anything can be picked apart. There is not one thing that we can do that won't exclude or prejudice someone. We all need to live our lives the way that we want to and hope not to offend but I will not change the way I live or the way I think to appease everyone . . . noone is the same not everyone will ever be the same and I would hate to live in a world where everyone would be the same. I think that we just need to live. If someone wants to worship or praise Allah in front of me, I would never try to stop it. In fact even though I do not believe in Allah, I would embrace it. I might even talk to the gentleman or lady praying when they are done so that I can in turn learn about what they believe. I would not shut it out and say, "You can't praise Allah in front of me, because I don't believe in that sort of thing." I mean that's an ignorant way of thinking.

So what are you saying? That people should say the pledge of allegiance before school starts?

No, stop reading into what I say. I think that its kind of like horror movies or video games. I grew up watching Freddy and Jason and Mr. Myers killing people, in fact killing people pretty brutally. Yet, I have never wanted to kill anyone.

Huh?

I don't know, I am just rambling.

Well is there anything else you would like to add?

Yeah, stop finding reasons to hate something and/or everything because there are plenty of reasons to love!

anonymous, to scared to show yourself, eh? It was a fictional conversation that I had with my shoe. My right shoe, if you can believe that. Sometimes it doesn't matter who you are talking too . . . all that matters is what is said. Although, to be honest I do believe that I need to throw that shoe out. Not just that shoe, but his twin as well. Not for speaking his mind though, just because he is getting very very smelly. Well thank you for your question . . . I am always up for a good Q&A session. I hope to talk to you soon Mr. Anonymous. Ooo . . . or is it Ms. Anonymous? I hope that I didn't offend. Take care then, bye bye then!
