Great Comebacks
When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of ‘empire building’ by George Bush. He answered by saying, “Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return.” It became very quiet in the room.
Then there was a conference in France where a number of international engineers were taking part, including French and Americans. During a break one of the French engineers came back into the room saying “Have you heard the latest dumb stunt Bush has done? He has sent an aircraft carrier to Indonesia to help the tsunami victims. What does he intend to do, bomb them?” A Boeing engineer stood up and replied quietly: “Our carriers have three hospitals on board that can treat several hundred people; they are nuclear powered and can supply emergency electrical power to shore facilities; they have three cafeterias
with the capacity to feed 3,000 people three meals a day, they can produce several thousand gallons of fresh water from sea water each day, and they carry half a dozen helicopters for use in transporting victims and injured to and from their flight
deck. We have eleven such ships; how many does France have?” Once again, dead silence.
A U.S. Navy Admiral was attending a naval conference that included Admirals from the U.S., English, Canadian, Australian and French Navies. At a cocktail reception, he found himself standing with a large group of Officers that included personnel from most of those countries. Everyone was chatting away in English as they sipped their drinks but a French admiral suddenly complained that, whereas Europeans learn many languages, Americans learn only English. He then asked, ‘Why is it that we always have to speak English in these conferences rather than speaking French? Without hesitating, the American Admiral replied ‘Maybe it’s because the Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Americans arranged it so you wouldn’t have to speak German. You could have heard a pin drop.
You’re all special
Did you know? before you go to sleep at night there is one person thinking of you. They want you they want to kiss you, They want to be with you they are always thinking about you before they go to sleep at night they are longing to be with you.
People Pressure
Have you ever noticed how so many people give into pressure? Well I have! Especially kids in Jr. high and high school. You wouldn’t believe how much it happens, and what kids will do to “fit in”. I’ve seen piercings, hair dying, smoking, drugs, clothes, no clothes, changing their accent, changing their taste in music, and even changing their way of life! Trust me I know…I’ve done some of those things myself. I’ve bought different clothes, I changed my taste in music, and I even changed how I lived my life! But don’t just say that kids fall into pressure, adults do too. Adults give into their kids, work, and friends. Whenever their child, or children, wants something the kid begs, and begs, and begs until the parent gives into the child’s wish. And don’t say that doesn’t happen, because it does! I see it all the time. I’ve even done it a couple of times myself. They even do it at work too. Adults give into their boss even when they don’t have to. i know the feeling of being pressured by other people, or “peer pressure”. If you feel or know, that you have never been pressured by someone to do something then you’re one of the lucky few who haven’t! I hate the feeling of being pressured. It’s a bad feeling, I know. But once you overcome it you feel much better. And for all of you out there who have pressured somebody to do something,(I know you have) shame on you! I should say,” shame on me” too. Because we all have done it! Whether it was to do drugs, or wear your hair differently, WE ALL HAVE DONE IT! To conclude my rant about pressure on people…JUST DON’T DO IT!

3 year old sarah
I did not write this my friend sent me this…..
my name is sarah
i am but three
my eyes are swollen i cannot see
i must be stupid i must be bad
what else could of made my daddy so mad?
i wish i were better i wish i werent ugly
then maybe my mommy would still want to hug me
i cant speak at all
i cant do a wrong
or else im locked up all the day long
when i awake im all alone
the house is dark my folks arent home
when my mommy does come
i’ll try and be nice
so maybe i get just one whipping tonight
dont make a sound i just heard a car
my daddy is back from charlie’s bar
i hear him curse my name he calls
i press myself against the wall
i try and hide from his evil eyes im so afraid
now im starting to cry he finds me weeping
he shouts ugly words
he says its my fault that he suffers at work
he slaps me and hits me and yells at me more
i finally get free and i run for the door
hes already locked it and i start to bawl
he takes me and throws me against the hard wall
i fall to the floor with my bones nearly broken
and my daddy continues with more bad words spoken
“im sorry” i scream but its much now too late
his face has been twisted into unimaginable hate
the hurt and the pain again and again
oh please god have mercy oh please let it end
and he finally stops and heads for the door
while i lay motionless sprawled on the floor
my name is sarah and i am but three
tonight my daddy murdered me
Random Things
i love you,
you love her,
see the problem?
I see you walk down the hall every day.
I look at you and my stomach makes
flips i never knew I even had.
girl: whats up?
boy: just thinking
girl: about what?
boy: a lot of things
girl: like what?
boy: people
girl: like who?
boy: the people i love
girl: which are who?
boy: you
i can yell at you,
be mad at you,
say stupid things & take them back,
even pretend i hate you..
but nobody in the
whole world cares
about you
more than me
you didn’t crush me.
ohh no my darling,
you completely destroyed me
If i could pick any moment
& keep it forever ,
i would pick every moment
i have spent with you.
Girl: I like him
Friend: You do, really?
Girl: Yeah
Friend: Are you serious?
Girl: Have you ever seen him smile?
Friend: You should tell him, he likes you too
Girl: He does?? How do you know?
Him: Because I know your friend’s password
<3 Another dead end street Another love gone wrong Another shattered dream Always the same old song <3
Never give up
Until you know
You’re done
H=How are you?
E= Everything all right?
L= Like to hear from you
L= Love to see you soon!
O=Obviously, You are my friend…
I love you not because of who you are,
but because of who I am
when I am with you…
No man or woman is worth your tears,
and the one who is,
won’t make you cry.
Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to,
doesn’t mean they don’t love you
with all they have.
A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand
and touches your heart.
The worst way to miss someone is to be
sitting right beside them
knowing you can’t have them.
Never frown,
even when you are sad,
because you never know
who is falling in love with your smile.
To the world you may be one person,
but to one person you may be the world.
Don’t waste your time on a man or woman,
who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before
meeting the right one,
so that when we finally meet the person,
we will know how to be grateful.
Don’t cry because it is over,
smile because it happened
There’s always going to be people that hurt you
so what you have to do is keep on trusting
and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
Make yourself a better person
and know who you are before you try
and know someone else and expect them to know you.
Don’t try so hard,
the best things come
when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
True friends: How many people actually have 8 true friends?
Hardly anyone I know !
But some of us have all right friends and good friends!!!But a special few of us have 1 true friend that will stay that way for the rest of our lives!!
“Live every day like it’s your last”
