Facebook Friends...And my mother....

The above screenshot will be the starting point of my anger and disappointment.

     The response by my "friends" Tyler and Andrea, and even by my brother Andrew, do not cause not nearley the same amount of anger and disappoinment caused by my mother. 

     1) Who is she to write that? I don't really give a crap what you thought "from the moment" I "was born"; Because quite frankly, I can change whatever you thought regardless of what it was.

     2) I am not gay, although she may think so.

     3) Ashley, who "liked" the status, was involved in the inside joke that became the posting.

     As you can imagine, I deleted my mother shortly after that posting. And she came back with the following message:

So, I ask you this: 

     1) Why does she have to be my friend, when other realitves and her friends are my friends on FB?

     2) Also, I am okay with her being my friend on FB as long as she doesn't comment on anything, when she herself has said "I don't even want to comment on your status or anything"; MHM! You totally did.

     So this is my anger against my mother, just fueling the fire that is why I want to go to college and leave the state, and her.

Religion...

     Okay first of all, I am not going to say that I have an issue with religion, I don't.
     But i do find it hard to believe that about 3/4 of my graduating class are becoming so in depth with their religion that it isn't even funny. I just think that most of these kids, that are part of these "youth groups", are only doing this because their parents want them to. I believe this, not only because I am an Atheist, but because these children are being educated in school to believe against creationist beliefs; yet they are being taught contradicting ideas in their "Confirmation Classes" and "Mass". So I guess what I am saying is that: "Are these children making their own decisions when it comes to religion/anti-religion?"
     I believe that children should be brought into religion from birth, but when they reach the age of 14, they should decide if they want to continue being in an active church or become an Atheist. Because when you truly think about it, children are forced into a believe of a "god", "afterlife", and "creationism". After all, originally, all people are Atheists from birth. Religion has to be taught to them.
     Okay, well I think that I have covered my religion basis.

Medical Reform

In recent news.... Medical Reform is making huge waves in my mind. In essence, I don't believe that my (when I say "my", I mean my families) taxes to pay for people who could afford private insurance.
I mean really??? I can't figure out how any person,especially in government, could think that they can provide medical funds for every person in America. It is virtually impossible, mainly because of the number of undocumented aliens in our country; I theorize that we can not go through with any federally-funded medical system for "all Americans" unless we first tackle the issue of illegal immigrants.
I also theorize that if this plan were to be passed, it would deminish the funding for our military. The military known around the world as one that is to feared, admired by all countries. I think that if we allow this medical system to be allowed, the standards set by our military, that every country wishes to aspire to, will fail its self. For example, in Canada, the federal government provides medical insurance to all; Yet, most people, and historians, would agree that when asked to compile a list of the Top 10 Most Powerful Militarys in The World, they wouldn't even think of Canada.
I am stating that: Military power and medical funding are directly related. Mostly because when one has a budget, one must give percentages of said budget to indivual departements. Hence if one increase funding to the medical department, one must take away from the military department. My one fear is that, a military that is said to be the most powerful, will deminsh quickly with the increase of medical insurance funding.
I therefore state that: I am against a federal medical insurance plan.
