hey everybody out there in the great big world of ours, before you participate in the discussions, please look over these guidelines!
I'm sure you are thinking right now
"what the eggplant... she has some eggplant-ing rules?"
and at this moment in time, I'm like,
"eggplant yes i have rules!"
how could i not?
and now that we are here i would like to mention that these are not "rules" per say, but guidelines. rules are meant to be broken. the below statements are simply suggestions, and i would appreciate it if you would follow them, if you don't, i really cannot do anything about it. (though i WILL smack your face in) the below are suggestions to make my blog a welcoming, safe, and entertaining blog to read. thank you for following them! (I'm not lying, i will smack your face... and your first born child. and i will steal your toaster :D)
1) don't use profane language on my blog.
this is supposed to be a welcoming blog, and how can it be when you are using words that not everyone is okay with? you could offend them. so we should all be considerate of that. also, this is supposed to be a place where we have deep discussions about the world around us; its not the venue for such words. if you can't handle it: leave. lastly, this blog represents me, and cuss words DON'T represent me, so just leave 'em out. got it?
2) don't you ever make fun of people's beliefs on my blog.
my biggest pet peeve: people who are so immature that they need to put others down to allow their own pitiful self esteem to rise. i harbor much anger for them. but then i remind myself that they are just naive and don't know that what they are doing can be, and IS, offensive to some people. i would like this to be a place where people feel comfortable enough to share their opinions.
what if they know what the meaning of life is, and we were making fun of it before they ever shared it? cause we were making fun, they never share it. then for the rest of our lives we are searching for the meaning of life, and all along they had it, but they didn't share it cause we weren't mature enough to listen like respectful adults.
so just be respectful, it makes things easier.
3) realize that not every one has the same opinion as you.
when you are commenting, you're gonna see people who don't agree with you. don't get mad: get glad. cause now you get to be informed on the other side of the spectrum. now you'll be more educated. be proud of yourself for looking at both sides of the argument. also, testing your own beliefs only make them more sound and strong!
4) don't use God's name in vain
this is a request that is very close to my heart. God is a good friend of mine, and disrespecting his name is disrespecting me. please, even if you don't understand why i have asked this of you, just don't do it. thank you :)
5) don't bring personal info into the discussions.
it is just not safe with all those creepers in the world to be giving out info like where you live and such. be smart with what you say about yourself.
6) have an open mind.
when you discuss things, please come with a humble and teachable mind. WE DO NOT HAVE ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS!!! seriously-most of us are teenagers right now. how could we know? if you come thinking that you do, then you are not going to enjoy yourself and you won't learn. i haven't created this blog to change your opinions, but if you actually listen, you might just do so along the way. be open to that. thanks!!!
thank you for taking these things into consideration, i really appreciate it!! have and get educated!!!
