this and that

I got a negative comment from an anonymous person about my “dont do drugs, its for the children” post. That was, in no way, supposed to be a “funny” entry. I am concerned maybe more people have felt the same way as this person, and doubt people go back and read old comments, so I am posting the comment here as well. First is their comment, and then is my reply, which can be also seen in the comments on that post.

“I was enjoying your sense of humor until I saw this section. I think you could have made a point about not using drugs without posting pictures of the children. I do not believe you were trying to make a statement against drugs… I think you are using these kids’ pictures to draw attention to your website. You should be ashamed.”

I dont like to write back to idiots who leave unintelligent comments anonymously on my journal, but I am going to for this one.

I did not put those children’s pictures up to make fun of them in any way. If I had posted and said “Hey, nobody do drugs, ok??” nobody would read it or get anything from it. However, if there are shocking pictures of actual consequences of drugs, ones that show what could happen to someone else because of your actions, it makes people think. These are kids. Its just wrong to make fun of kids, let alone ones who cannot help what their parents did to them, and I’d be a horrible person to do it. I honestly feel bad for them. I have a cousin who is almost 5 years old, but because of a developmental birth defect, her growth is very slow, and she looks as if she is about 2 and a half. She has a lot of complications involving her throat and lungs, and right now, she still cannot even talk. In the past, she has been hospitalized several times because of breathing problems, and I have seen her with breathing tubes and different apparatus in her throat to help her to breathe. I know from seeing her first hand that it is NOT comfortable at all. These children all have different birth defects and share one thing in common: they have trachea problems which require something to help them to breathe, and I, in no way, find this amusing.

So next time, mister or miss anonymous coward, do not jump to conclusions and announce publicly your uneducated opinions about someone who you know nothing about. Also, I do not believe you have any business judging me with things you have made up yourself. I think you are the one who should be ashamed.

Hope that clears things up.

Oh, and to all the idiots who keep sending emails about how mean my tards page is, kiss my butt. If an adult chooses to act or dress a certain way, then I have the right to make fun of them.

I changed my template.
