Appreciation Life
Are our presidential candidates bullies? Should we care?
- bully Yesterday, a Washington Post story revealed that when Mitt Romney was a child in the 1960s, he bullied students in his school — the exclusive Cranbrook School in Michigan — including an incident where he cut a young boy’s hair against his will. Romney apologized for the incident Thursday, which took over the news cycle.
- bullier? Because, hey, Obama wrote a book describing his childhood, conservative commentators such as Sean Hannity are looking at an incident where the president admits to teasing and shoving a young girl. Can we all agree that Mitt Romney and Obama made mistakes as kids, and moved beyond them? source

I’m pretty sure Romney doesn’t still do it because it would be socially unacceptable because his position on gay people still hasn’t changed from his younger days.
A.) In the second item, Obama was much younger than Governor Romney the first example.
B.) The President was not teasing, he was being teased, with other little kids saying he liked a girl in the class because she was the only other black kid. Then, yes, he shoved her.
These are entirely different stories. One of them is disturbing and one of them is not.
George Takei posted this on his Facebook today (if you’re not following him, you should be — he basically runs a Tumblr on there). It reminded me of a quote I saw on Tumblr a couple of weeks ago. I’m not religious, but found it poignant (paraphrasing here): “I want to ask God why he allows wars, disease, poverty and senseless deaths to occur, but I’m afraid He will ask me the same question.”
Remember: you are somebody.

It is amazing how liberating it is to just go do stuff. Friend can’t buy groceries? Buy groceries for friend. PROBLEM SOLVED.
This is it. Here’s the world. Here. Now. Do something! (I recommend helping people. There are always people who need help. Possibly this is because we sit around complaining about it…)
“Okay, “A,” there are no cows in space. “B,” didn’t you wear that, like, five years ago?”
I’ve reblogged it before but I don’t care! It’s EPIC!
I SO want to smoosh this man.
I screamed when I saw this.
This was the moment I decided I really, really love the show.
forever make me happy
UNGH how much did I love this? SO much.
