  I stayed home sick from school today.  I've had a headache for two days and figured if I could just catch up on some sleep I'd feel better... And maybe I'd even get some school work done.

  I'm sick of the stand off between liberals and conservitives/democrats and republicans.  We're all culprits of using the terms negitively, and I've had "liberal" sneered at me mulitple times when expressing my views.  It all seems so unnecessary.

  It seems like all my friends want to do recently is drink, smoke pot and have sex.  Don't get me wrong, I love my friends and it's more of a 'love the sinner hate the sin' kind of thing, but it's starting to drive me insane.

  That's my question.  Are we all a little bit hypocritical?

  It depends on one's definition of hypocritical...  According to the Collins English Gem Dictionary, hypocrisy is "assuming of false appearance of virtue; insincerity."  If one chooses to follow the latter, then realilistically everyone is a bit hypocrytical.

  Something has been bugging me recently, and I thought I'd post it on here... Maybe get some people's thoughts on it.

  Mandatory community service doesn't make sense to me.  Sure, I'm all for community service in general, but isn't 'mandatory community service' a bit of an oxymoron?

  First of all, I'm against the Iraq War.  That was blunt, and you may not have expected it, but it was important.  You'll see why.

  Contrary to popular belief, being against the war doesn't mean that I'm against the troops.  I have friends going to Iraq, I have family already there and I support them 110%.
