Why am I in a hand basket?
So... Apparently California has recently passed a law called SB48. This new law requires all schools in California to teach children as young as five to accept and endorse transgender, bisexual, and homosexual identity and behavior...
Where are we going, and why am I in a hand basket??

No, it's not that I have anything against people who chose this type of behavior. But it goes against my religion, and so this law is taking away my right to my religion.Yes... I do think respect is good.
But respect is "a feeling of deep admiration". And I don't admire the part of them that makes that choice. I don't want to show them disrespect or be rude because of a choice I don't approve of. People are a mesh of ALL that they do. So I can admire them as a person, but I will not admire that choice.
I think each person should make their own choice on where they stand, on anything. And I don't think the typical person is ready to make a decision that big until high school, or at least until they're out of grade school. Until then I want to be the person teaching my child what's right and wrong. I don't think it's the state's place.

Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so
"Japanese schoolchildren are taught how to practice self-criticism both in order to improve their relations with others and to become more skilled in solving problems. This stance of perfectionism through self-criticism continues throughout life. Sushi chefs and math teachers are not regarded s coming into their own until they've been at their jobs for a decade. Throughout their careers, in fact, Japanese teachers are observed and helped by their peers to become better at their jobs. Contrast this with the American practice of putting teacher's college graduates into the classroom after a few months of training and then leaving them alone to succeed or not, to the good or ill fortune of a generation of students."
- Richard E. Nisbett: The Geography of Thought. Ch 3, pg 55
First of all, this just made me laugh. The Japanese tutor their graduates. We just throw 'um in and hope they swim. lol Creates a very funny picture in my head.
So I'm in a Social Psychology class, and I have to read this book. And it's actually a lot better then I thought it was going to be! Yeay! It's been comparing Eastern culture to Western culture. And knowing a lot of anime, I have at least a general grasp on the culture. And the funny thing is that a lot of things I do, seem to be more Asian then American. (which I have no problem with)
For instance I do a lot of self-criticism. Not in a bad way like "Oh, I'm a horrible human being." But that I know my faults and I'm willing to work on them. I'm very practical that way. (which, I realize stating that in a blog is very American... But I am American, so it's ok)
This class leaves me feeling white, but not pure white. I feel more off-white. Which makes me happy.
