I was exceptionally tall (6' 5") as a teenager. I was stared at. The jokes about "how's the weather up there" are as unfunny now as they ever were.

I decided not to make a career out of being offended.

Most of us were picked on as children. It’s a part of growing up. Some are tall, short, fat, skinny, wore glasses, etc. Me, I was a fat kid.

We learn that those who pick on others are just trying to build their own egos. By degrading others, they are making themselves feel better. To me the best example was the KKK.

That said, we each should love being different, in our own way. However, we must not use “diversity” to enforce more laws of acceptance.

We must each decide whether WE want to be like “that”. Freedom to choose our life is a God given right. But, we must not force that lifestyle on others.

Because I don’t want to follow, or even be introduced to a certain lifestyle, does not mean I HATE it. It means that is MY choice.

Will those pushing diversity soon have us smoking, drinking to excess, or using illegal drugs, just so we know how those individuals FEEL?
