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.

how come you find it so hard to believe that two old friends could get together and decide "i'm sick of being an abused woman, i always shoulda been a boy" and the friend saying "yeh well i always wanted to be a woman so lets really do the deed then and fix everyone?" i couldn't do that but what makes you think two wealthy clever high profile people couldn't or wouldn't do that and be laughing at everyone! this whole elton john and david furnish and diana conspiracy thing? I couldn't want to be a guy but you know it always offended me the way my bitch of a older sister slut always was the one who only could wear fucking pink! and I was not allowed to for some reason, cuz she wanted to be the only girl in the family. and you know I am fucking sick of this whore doing her dirty do dog act at me when she is con, she bashes her husbands with brooms and has attacked me, just about all my family have physically bashed me at some point for no particular reason. they never care about my needs as a woman or needing a husband or children. I am always caring about them but they don't care for me, my selfish mother is gonna die in the next 20 or what years time and all this "be a good girl and nice to people like the dirty catholic church told me to be" has allowed all thepedos and abuses go on against me. when my brother and sister are completely selfish people who have no real religion in them what so ever, why do you find it so hard to believe people could say "I am done with you or your shit"?
