Ahh, the Korea's Hit the News Again!

Well, I'm not completely up on this whole "North Korea/South Korea" crap, hereby dubbed "Korea Issue", but here's what I think so far...


     First of all, why in bloody hell would someone even contemplate attacking an ally of the United States, France, United Kingdom, and Germany?
     Second of all, why would one think they could actually win said war?
     Third of all, maybe you shouldn't have any weapons...Just Saying.



Well thats it for now...more to come.

Some recent writings...

Lately, I have been embracing my ability to write out my thoughts; I figured I'd throw them on here, after all, whats the sense of writing something if no one sees it?

------

How can you sit there and yell at me for not listening?
When was the last time you listened to me?

You're too preoccupied with your damn perfect <word taken out, because I don't want you to know;But its a person>
I mean really?
If you can name 3 things that I truly enjoy, it'd be a fricken miracle.

Isn't funny how one bad thing can screw up in a couple of days?
Bad Days.
One thing can do so much.
Bad Days.
If only you could ask for help. It might stop.
Bad Days.
Annoying things, annoying days cause...
Bad Days.

Well guess thats it for now.

Don't Ask,Don't Tell

I know I'm a wee bit late, but I wrote this up a little bit back and I feel it should be posted. This whole thing was sparked by an incident with one of my friends on September 25th.

-----------------------

As someone who once had tremendous faith,love, and pride for his country, I never thought that one policy could destroy me so much.
      The policy I am referring to is the Department of Defense's Don't Ask,Don't Tell policy. I don't believe in this policy, which could be why I am angered by it. If somebody could explain to me how somebody's sexual orientation can affect their ability to protect and serve their country. Than I just might believe in the DADT policy. But because I can't find a good,non-cliche,meaningful fight for this policy, I believe it should be nonexistent.
      I know if one good person, in particular, that would give his life in the military for our country. This man's sexual orientation is public, which he fine with. But in recent events, he has become worried that the openness of of his sexual orientation may affect his career in the US Navy. I would like to quote the post posted by the person who was trying to end his career:
"Why should we allow gays in the military? Especially ones as oplenly gay as this? FB&gt; Formspring&gt;"
     I just don't get why an openly gay man, who has already stated that he will perform to the best of his ability just like everyone else, can't serve his country because he his gay while my relative can do the same job without being in jeopardy because he is straight.
     Explain...

Clearly, this angered me greatly. Here is the original post from my gay friend:

Interesting Government Tidbit

The Constitution of the United States of America states:

Article 1, Section 8: The Congress shall have power:

To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes;
To establish a uniform rule of naturalization, and uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States

 So, as you can see, the Founding Fathers decided that the Congress of the United States of America has the power,right,and duty to control all financial matters involving the United States of America.

As you know, the Treasury/Mint is under the control of the Department of the Treasury; Which is under the command of the President and the Executive Branch.

Obviously, we have a problem. The President, whose job is to "Support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, is knowingly going against the Constitution; The object that he is supposedly supporting and defending.

I believe that we need to change this. I think that we need a bill to be passed that makes Congress responsible for minting and creating money.

So, that being said, I hereby state:

I,Christopher J Drummond, will be absolutely sure to work to pass and create this bill, when I became a Senator. I swear to do this.

I can only hope that I will be able to fix all of the discrepancies that our government has. For, in some cases, our government is going against what the Constitution states.

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.
