Things that annoy you.

[☼ Graceful Aurora ☼]

Political correctness when taken too far annoys the heck out of me. Specific example 'Seperation of Church and State'

First of all, while so many people keep claiming it, that line is nowhere in the constitution, the actual passage dealing with religion is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

It really, really ticks me off when I hear stories about teachers and kids getting in trouble for praying in school (even if they're both religious and it was not in an actual class), Seniors in a home not allowed to pray over their meal because it's federally funded and a FEMA photgrapher asking a group of voluenteers to take off their Salvation Army t-shirts so he can take pictures because it is a religious organization. Those are just a few examples and all three appear to be 'resolved' but the fact that they even happened in the first place just bugs me. I'm also a little resentful for never getting to have a 'Christmas; party in elementary school even though every single child (and the teacher) in our class celebrated christian.

The whole idea of 'Seperation of Church and State' is more about how the government can't force a specific religion down anyone's throat, yet atheists (the hard-core kind of scary atheists who go on the news and sue people for similar things to the examples listed above, not atheists in general) seem to be saying- you can't celebrate the religion you believe in, even if you aren't trying to make anyone else do anything different because we don't believe in your God and our beliefs should be of more importance than yours...



*breath* yeah, sorry for the rant XP

(Related to the religion thing, although not quite)
It annoys me that my Mom is making me go to a Christian private school, and they have this sheet you have to sign basically stating that you are Christian and believe all this Christian stuff. Being Agnostic, I have no idea how i'm going to do this x.x

Oof, that sucks Savannah. Seeing as they're a private institution I can see how they have the right to ask those kinds of things from their students, but I feel for your situation, it's never fun to have to lie about your beliefs or feel that you're being forced to change them, good luck.

How I always fail to keep track of all the books I read.

(For class, I have to write a two-page response on every book I read. But i have a tendency to read one book really fast, then grab a new one, and so forth without stopping to write about it)

Oh Jeez yeah. I'm currently reading 3 books. 1 is boring as heck, 1 is hard to read (<3) and I have to think hard about it, and the other is the sequel to one of my favourite books, and is REALLY good, so I can read that one quickly XD

But still, if I can never keep track of them.

I also hate it when teachers choose to assign a book to read right when you get your new 24-book boxed set. And then you're all happy you have awesome stuff to read and the teacher's like "Yup, this book is due in a week, read it every day and stuff! ;D"
