Not Everyone Can Be a Winner In Politics

Politics are always a heated discussion, but throwing a temper tantrum when your party doesn't win won't change anything.

Not Everyone Can Be a Winner In Politics

In This Article:

Politics have become a huge topic of discussion in the last 20 years, and in our recent election politics have become more heated when being discussed. Everyone has different views, and it's one thing to have a debate but when grown adults have temper tantrums that a 2-year-old would throw that's when it goes a little overboard.

Everyone should have their own views and think for themselves, but when your political party doesn't win does that really mean you have to act like you are a toddler that didn't get what they wanted, so you throw yourself on the ground, and kick and scream till you get your way. We hold up signs that are immature and look like a teenager wrote it.

We are adult's and need to act that way when having a debate over something, and when it comes to having a protest over something you believe in, that's great people need to stand for what they believe, but when you start causing harm to others and destroying property that doesn't belong to you. This is when you have gone too far, peaceful protest is one thing being an anarchist is another.

So many people on both sides have been raised in a certain way, and instead of doing their own research on the other party they continue to believe what they want and come off close-minded. Neither party will ever come through with all their promises that they make when running for office. And if people think and believe that they will, then you are very gullible and will believe anything that they are told.

And it's getting worse when it's the politicians that throw these tantrums, you can see in political races that these adults will try to throw the other party under the bus, dig up as much dirt as they can so it works in their favor. There is a youtube video where Hillary Clinton is yelling at a green peace activist because she thinks she is a Bernie Sanders supporter. And then you have Donald Trump our current president that has had a temper tantrum or two as well.

Both sides act like children. Last year there was a women's march protest and a march for life protest at the same time, and both groups had their own views and acted very differently when it came to that protest. The march for life was very peaceful, but the women's march was very loud and vulgar and were starting to get violent with a couple of the people in the march for life group, even going as far as saying that they didn't belong there and saying that they don't even know what it's like to be a women, when half or more of the group was made up of women.

These protests get out of hand, and people think it's ok to destroy public property because they think they are making a statement when all they are doing is committing a felony. Why can't we act like adults when we are having a debate about our views, because everyone thinks differently.

Throwing tantrums and vandalizing property isn't going to get your views across all it's going to do is get you fined a lot of money and jail time.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
