It happened yesterday at work. A situation that got me thinking. Thinking how often we rush to conclusions, how often we assume things just based off what we see on the surface without fully noticing what might be happening underneath.
I was sitting and eating lunch in the back room of the store I work in. One of the other employees is a teenager who had started working at the about I want to say two, or one and a half ago. She was sitting on some 24 packs of soda writing down things to bring to the front. One of the other employees walked by and told her something around the lines of, "We actually work here not just sit around." I had been sitting there for just a few minutes, and had to talked to her a bit, and she just looked at me like obviously he just doesn't realize I'm making a list and when back to what she was doing. The other employee returned and basically said something around the same thing. Some stuff about how we just don't sit around, and we actually work here and stuff that most people already know.
She defended herself of course, but he was futile as she had obviously been sitting there for twenty minutes or something like that, and told her grab something and take it out in a rude, and avoid voice. To tell you the truth the guy has a bad habit in which he starts to walk away, or turn his head when he talks oftenly making it hard to hear everything he said.
Now I'm not exactly sure if what he said is true, nor do I deny it. All I know is this. Form what I saw the teenager was oftenly called up front to work one of the register, so obviously she wasn't working, the other employee oftenly is moving around. The teenager also has been trying to work on the back items for quite some time to only have to keep getting called to the front. So could it be possible what he saw wasn't really what he thought?
Perhaps. I hate it when people just rush to conclusions, and hate it even more when people are rude about it. I think we need to stop judging everything based off what we see immediately, and try to see things as a whole. You can't say a movie sucked without seeing it, or at least a detailed review as to why it is bad. Did I think the other employee overacted? Yes. Is he wrong? I don't know. I can assume, but not fully conclude. That is all I want people to do. Assume for better or worse, conclude when we see more than what we thought we did.

Common Courtesy... Does Anyone Believe In It Anymore?
Well it's been a while since I've been so busy, but that is of no impotence. In the past weeks though I've had a thought occur to me several times. Weather it dealt with me personally, or noticed it elsewhere. Heck sometimes I just stated thinking about it. When did people stop using Common Courtesy? Common Common Courtesy is basically not being a douche bag. O.K. a less direct approach is basically not being a jerk to others with no real good apparent reason. There are times when you need to stand up to someone, but making a big deal about others beliefs, ideals, or just being a jerk for the sake of being one has no real exception in life.
You see it all the time with politics, You Tube Comments, news, any other form of media, or even just people you meet on the street. You can't escape people being an ass to others it seams these days. There's always that one douche bag acting like he's so much better than everyone around him because of the awesome ride he has, that idiot who just has to be right and anyone who doesn't agree with him is an idiot, that one person who just has to bully someone because he just because he thinks he's all that. Yada Yada Yada it goes on and on.
I don't agree with everything that everyone says, but I no better than to just be a jerk to those I don't agree with.Now if they want to call me a moron for not blindly believe in what they do then yeah I'm fighting back, but what ever happened to people just letting others have their own opinion. Granted there are some things that are wrong just in general, but I hardly see why people should make a big deal out everything, have to act like they are so much more important then everyone else when really they aren't.

Well Said Once Again.
Basically what I would have said. It's not a gun problem. The media is trying to make it seam like it is, but it isn't. Criminals don't care if guns are legal or not.

Well said Pan Pizza
This video reminded me about peoples opinions. Just becasue we don't agree doesn't mean people are stupid. Other factors determine that. A good example is part of a comment that I put on his video.
" I hate COD, and Katie Perry but I don't hate people who like those things I just don't personally understand why. I love My Little Pony and My Chemical Romance. Not everyone else does. That's fine. What I really hate is how people just have to say things suck. I think Katie Perry sucks, but I'm not going to tell people who like her that that's just rude. Just because you don't like something someone else loves doesn't mean you need to be a d*** about. I wont force my likes on you don't force your hate on me, and vise verse."
I just watched the video I just thought I would share it, and the actually pretty smart way of saying it. Or at least I thought he sounded smart.

Happy Fourth of July
Happy Fourth of July. Our nation is now 238 years old. Remember it's not just about blowing stuff up, steak, burgers, and parades. It's about 238 years of liberty, trials, and sweat and blood that made this nation from day one. Remember that flag doesn't mean Merica. It means America. The land of the free, and the home of the brave. This country has many many problems, but I still love it none the less knowing that out of any country in existence we can make the best of it.
