I have a friend who describes himself as athiestbut says he is leaning towards being jewish.(his family is jewish and Ithink he is going back to believing in it again)I haventfigured out what he means but he sure knows. I just figured good forhim. I was actauly talking to him through instant messenger while I wasreading this. He says that he sees more jewish stuff than christmasstuff... Well any way he says it is at least fifty fifty. I guess thatit is just what you are looking for. I am just thinking about todaywhen I went to the dallor store. I was thinking that I saw a awfull lotof christmas stuff but he asked like what? I said well stockings,bells, ribbons, wrapping paper, presents, and tons of red stuff. ( bythe way he was there with me) he says well I saw those bags that saidjoy, with doves on them, candles ont hem, bears on them. I also sawholiday decreating stuff but I didnt see things that I didnt grow upwithout, and I also didnt realy see things that I did not see in churchgrowing up. The only things that I did see that I would say wouldnt bein my families church was the santas. But lol if you go to hisapartment you will see tons of santas. He collects them. (Im not surehow much longer though because it drives his boyfriend crazy to haveall of the santas around LOL.)
He also said that his family did decreat but he said that I has manymany jewish friends that do not because he says it just doesnt realy goalong with his religion. They do however will do some like put candlelights in their windows ect. He believes that decreting was somethingthat came around not with religion but with stores. Just makes thingsfun and a way to make a dime.
All I see around my house is our christmas tree. The rest are lights,peguins, snow men, a snow village (that is what it says on one of thebox of the house I just bought today), oh and i guess that there are afew santas, and one negtivity set but not one that we bought my mommade it!
I personaly hate the word descrimination. It is impossible to mentioneverything. For example in this letter I talked about my guy friend.OOPS I forgot to talk about my girl friends... Now did I justdescrimated against all of them? Some could say yes because I did notmention them... didnt give fair time to them... Somebody sent our localnews station a letter because in the news they did a whole broadcastwhere they did not talk about african americans. WHY? because just sohappends that everything that they reported on happend to people whowere not african american. They were asian, or white. Now things dontoften happen here so they only mentioned two car accidents, a fire, andintroviewed somebody for something I cant remember what about. THenthere was another situation where a person did not get hired as ateacher. WHY? Well he claimed because he was black, but thats not all,he says that the majority of people in prison is black and there forthey didnt hire him because they saw him as a bad person because ofthat. That is what he said in the claim that he filed. What did theschool say, they said it was because he didnt have any degrees neededor required for the job.
Okay then a couple of days ago I heard discrimination called again, andI had to laugh at this one. Okay listen to this we have a town nearbythat has well a population wich is mostly hispanic, and when I saymostly I mean the total was 87 percent hispanic. Nothing bad with thatat all,(toprove this to you I will eventellyouthat I have cousins that are hispanic, shouldnt have tothough)but this is the claim made. The town is patroled bythe sheriffs... The county sherriffs wich patrol the whole countyimagine that... well any way the last three years they looked at thetickets, stops, call outs, etcs in this town and forty percent of thestops, callouts, arrests, tickets, etcs happend to hispanics. Nowpeople who dont live in the town, who arnt hispanics even decided thatthis was discrimation. Alot of the people living in the town is evenlaughing saying well my brother is a sheriff (what i was told whentalking to a somebody that I know from the twon at the store) etc.. 87percent of people that live there are hispanic, everyone that livesthere are proud of their heritage and not afraid of saying that... Theyare also asking how fourty percent of eighty percent is discriminationand why they can say that it is when alot of the times where times whenthe people them selves called them? Just somebody looking for a chanceto stirr something up.
I am sure that you were trying to make people see how things may bebeing over run by christmas stuff. But please dont say that WE aredescriminating because I think we all know that nobody here has been,or at least on purpose. There is no way that we can include everyoneand everything the world realy is not that small after all, and I amsure that if you look at this letter i have written ready to prey on meor others you will be able to find something. No doubting that. I guessall I can say is that I am not trying to...
So here whatever you want to hear to EVERYONE! Make it what ever you want.
