Y'know, I got so used to being told by the majority that I was wrong (I was the only pro-choice, key word being choice, in a class of pro-lifers when I was twelve, and even though that teacher was cool and tried to keep it to a civilised discussion, even though he totally didn't agree with me at all, as a devout Catholic - the class just tore me up, and I was practically in tears. The only good thing to come out of it was that the teacher told my mother at Parent's Night - he was my Biology teacher, and he'd been covering my Religious Ed class - that he was really impressed with the way I stood up for myself and my beliefs) that at some point? I just stopped listening to them. I think that's so dangerous, in so many ways.
Then I left school, and things happened. Catholic school did a good job in one way - I'm pretty well prepared for any argument. And boy, do I argue.
I shouldn't have to, mind. We shouldn't have to keep fighting like this. But then you make posts like these, and I'm glad we do, glad you're able to make these posts. :) You're one of my very favourites, and this may not have made much sense - mostly because of four hours of sleep, hi, but I did understand everything you said, which is another reason why you're my favourite - but I don't think there's any help for that, because even if I had slept, my main reaction would still be, oh, thank God.
You're one of the most articulate people I've ever encountered on the internet, and one who obviously cares about what you talk about. That's pretty much why you're my favourite. No matter what happens, don't ever change. Because it can't be much longer now. It can't. Not with people like you here.
