or ignoring is bliss. i don't know which one is better. lol. but i do like to talk to people, so unless they start stalking me, i don't usually ignore them. and ewww baywatch! that is so 1990's.
I guess I am cursed, cause I have red hair and blue eyes and freckles and look nothing like the stereotypical blond california female.
ugh.

I'd just like to say how shocked and sickened I was by the nasty shit going on in America and that everyone who thinks straight is behind America at this time.

Beautiful, Joe.
Remember Simon, how I told you whether I was an American or not depended on who asked, when and why?
I wasn't one yesterday. Do you understand that, now?

| To the Americans: pretty_ak
(32/F/America) 9/12/01 1:25 pm
One of the things that really struck me on the news - as if everything else didn't - was this little blurb. I only heard it once but it .. something about authorities warning persons who wear Arab dress not to go out of their homes and stationing police protection around Mosques.
When Pearl Harbor was bombed, the Japanese Americans were rounded up, put in interment (ie: concentration) camps and treated just about as bad as ever the Jews were treated .. not because of anything they did. Just because they had slanty eyes and so MIGHT do something. Or because they MIGHT have relatives. It was a particularly ugly bit of American history that doesn't bear repeating.
That's what worries me more than anything. Strangers acting you is one thing, but when you have to worry about your own countrymen attacking you because of the clothes you choose to wear, or your religious beliefs, it's quite another.
I just hope that when Americans see these other persons, most of whom are also Americans, with their Arab dress, in their Mosques, they will remember that .. at least remember this .. that American justice is founded on the principal that you are innocent until proven guilty.
During times of turmoil, it is more important to adhere to your principals with the strictest discipline possible. The fact that you no longer wish to be just, but want to lash out against what happens, makes it that much more important that you exercise control. Lash out at the enemy, just make sure you've got the right one. That's all.

Sadness Felt feer insues gillie_30_ca
(30/F/ask me) 9/12/01 3:03 pm
Although I have a great sense of sadness this morning that humanity is tested in a way such as this. I am just hoping that the humane side of humanity wins out when dealing with this investigation and with what the punishment would be keeping in mind that I do believe that they should be made to suffer enormously. However I would also like to say bombing an entire country may not be the answer. I say this in support of the few or many people in that country that do not support terrorist actions because they are there.

couldnt agree more.as one muslim said it while he was on tv, just because the ira bomb somewhere doesnt make it right to bomb ireland. George Bush ahs gotten a lot of criticism for his policies in the past but lets all hope he gets it right this time

there are no addequate words of condolence that i can offer to any american person, who all are affected, like the rest of the world, simply by living in these times.
The best we can do is keep living for the victims, and remembering them as long as we live. i particuler story that was brougt home was an irish woman and 4 year old daughter was in the first plane that hit tower A,
ironically were her brother was working. the brother emerged traumatised but alive, only to discover his sister and niece who were living in mass were killed in the same accident. im sure we will hear countless more horrendous stories emerging in the next few days and weeks, and we can only offer hope and prayers.

There, Simon .. happy????? pretty_ak
(32/F/America) 9/17/01 7:16 pm
I wasn’t American yesterday Oh .. I wore the red white and blue
On my tennis shoe, It was a trademark from a company in Korea
It took microsoft acts and global positioning to give me daily hard byte f acts
of my situation
Then it hit me that maybe, Letterman wouldn’t be on and I felt like such a peon
That this is what my life boils down to in the end
And somewhere in a country I’ve never been to there are people I never met
who stand in the streets and cheer because someone they don’t know
killed some strangers to us all.
Somewhere in my heart the red of rage blooms rampant
Not for the dead so much as at the living who never learn
Even when they see the bodies burn
And somewhere in my soul is the white of numb denial
That this should ever happen No this could never happen
but it’s on the t.v. screen and the writings on the wall
In my eyes the blue tears for the souls that are lost now
For nothing, it means nothing In the end it’s all the same
Their deaths won’t bring down the country
Just their blood relations And maybe you think
that now our nation received payback for our crimes
For your own lost ones, Shot down or swindled by bureaucracy
and dead in the name of saved democracy
and you feel just in your celebration
(Let’s kill the mom and daddy of children who trudge off to school
and teach them by example the things we never knew)
Two wrongs never made a right justice is squinting, hoping
for sight And it asks before it lashes back:
Did you make sure that everyone who died
were the same people who had done something to you?
I wasn’t American yesterday I thought I was part of the world
Didn’t believe in drafts, never voted, argued for peace
I never supported the military but you would have killed me anyway
You killed thousands of innocents To tell us where you think we belong
and now that we’ve got the message It’s made us millions strong
