Let's get ready to rumble!

Religion and politics or any other big issue for that matter is always a touchy subject to get into as far as discussing it with family and friends. But I think that's because it's natural human nature to want your opinion and beliefs to be superior and correct over all others. That's why out of a simple "discussion" what ends up being the result is a screaming match amongst opposing teams. Lol. I know from personal experiences.
Though this is what mostly happens, i don't think it should hinder us from speaking out about important issues that affect us or our society. How else are we going to be heard? How else are different opinions and views going to be taken into consideration if we don't voice our opinions through whatever means possible? Tell me how else are we going to be able to show people that their way of thinking isn't the only correct way of viewing things?
I must admit, even I'm guilty of sometimes viewing things in just black and white with gray edges but I've surpassed that and seen the greater picture. I've absorbed bits and pieces of everyone else's beliefs and created my own. For example as of right now, I don't I believe there's a God out there. Some people say he did exist and died on the cross for us, yet some people believe that Jesus didn't exist only God did. Shrug. You wanna know what i believe in? I believe that there's I higher power out there, and i guess someday I'll find out who it is. I wouldn't of arrived at that religious conclusion without exposure to different people's opinions on what it real, what really exists and what doesn't.
On a different note, I think Palin is the prefect kick in the ass that America needed. I'm personally sick and tired of perfect suburban families being the only thing that you see in the White House. We need real people with real issues in the White House. I want to be able to relate to someone who's possibly going to be aiding in making decisions that affect my life later on in the future. We're not all perfect and the fact that she's dealing with a teen pregnancy at home makes her all the more real to me.
Now, does the boy have any say regarding Bristol's baby? I believe he does, but unfortunately not a large percentage. Lol. Ideally it should be 50/50 but the real reality is that though it was a 50/50 effort to make the baby it's going to be a 100% effort from the mother as far as carrying the baby for 9 months and giving birth to it. Thus, it's the ultimately the mother's decision whether she keeps the baby or not. Ya know, we live in such a technologically advanced world and it's still hard to believe that people are still having accidental pregnancies. Geez.
