Judge ME, not my Government

My country was last fighting the right battle in WWII.  Since then, we've invaded countries to interfere in their national politics (Vietnam), gone to war for oil (Gulf Wars I and II) and stood by idly watching genocide (the act we helped to stop in WWII) in Rwanda, for which we didn't apologize until many years later, and now again in Darfur, for which we probably won't apologize for many years to come.  We are also responsible, nationally, for thousands of drug related deaths by not making safe drugs available, and shunning drug users so they are too scared to seek help.  Our prison system exists to keep criminals in jail, rather than rehabilitate them, so their children grow up thinking that jail is just another part of life, and it means less to them.  The prison system perpetuates itself for the financial sake of those who own the prisons.  We continue to discriminate based on race and religion all over the world, helping only those who we deem financially worthwhile. I am ashamed of my Government.  Judge me, not my Government.

body shamed for being fat or too thin! i was body shamed for losing too much weight after being over weight for a number of years and what made me want to lose weight in the first place was my health and one day i had a fright from heart pain so i went and lost a heap of weight, i had tried only 1 diet before that which didn't work, but to be body shamed for being too thin when i felt i was not too thin and i was not anorexic or bulimic, i was a lower then a size 10 sure but i looked and felt great. from that day on i started gaining weight again and then i would have to push it down again. but clearly after a number of body shaming expereinces while being thin. i started putting on weight with medication and illness. i started gaining weight out of getting no where, i started getting rejected in jobs and colleges just because i rejected some rude abusive men as friends, so they as a group punished me for being thin and wanted me fat again. then i thought well i wanted to be fat so people wouldn't be jealous of me anymore and men thinking i was vain and self sufficient as a thin woman. i was very sad rejected but i felt great in myself thin and i think a lot of people couldn't deal with that i had been the fat girl who lost weight and was saying "i want a new life that you bozos can't give me with your ruthless clowning around and acting like boofwits rather then mature genuine "marriagable men" i was a woman who was serious and they couldn't stand me standing on my own and begging the question to be answered as to why i was push out of places and denied the normal rights others take for granted. so being both thin and fat has shown me people will body shame you no matter what you are. even when i was a perfect weight for my height i was still labelled and body shamed yet i felt healthy and great in myself. i didn't know why i was being rejected from jobs i would get nicely dressed for and take in my resume of acheivements and be positive, i didn't know why i was never getting dates or flirts from men. i just stopped caring anyway but i would love to kick the assesholes of those people who did body shame me and make them feel low and underpriveledged as they ought to be as punishment for abusing me!
