Confessions of a young mind

To all who post on FreeRepublic,

I believe the time has come to speak to you on a matter that what I feel is greatly important.

I have been on FR, posting since a week after the September 11th attacks. And..... at that time..... I was 11. I am 13 now. You may have thought I was a grown adult, with a family and kids. Nope. Never happened.

I thought that no one would accept me here, being a kid...no one would take me seriously or respect my opion, or want to hear it, for that matter. Alot of kids have their brain melting inside their head. So, I made up an adult me, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. It was fine, all fine.

But truthfully, it's been on my mind since the day I signed up, and now I'm coming clean. I'm so sorry to all of you, and I may have hurt a few people just now. Once again, I'm truly sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

I specifically want to apologize to:

-Jim Robinson. Sir, I am sorry for what I've done. I've broken the rules like a total idiot. If I wanted respect I should have shown it, and I utterly failed to do so. If you feel I must be banned from here, I understand 100%. Go ahead if you wish. But, if you can find it in your heart-of-hearts to forgive me, I will be forever grateful to you, and will be 100% honest from now on.

-The AdminModerator. Everything I said to Jim Robinson goes for you as well. I am deeply sorry for all that I've done.

-Zavien Doombringer and the other Viking Kitties. I've worked along side you fellows in ZOTing trolls, yet I very well could be considered a troll myself. I've led you to believe that I was a grown man, when really I'm just a teenager. You have all been wonderful to me, and I'm sorry for the toes I'm stepping on and the feelings I'm hurting. My apologies to all of you.

And now, my apology to all the FReepers out there:

I'm going to be blunt. I'm a jerk, a lousy coward, and a liar. I've been crooked about my entire self for the past 2 years. I apologize to all of FR for what I've done, even though none of you really knew about it. Still, that's no excuse. I apologize to everyone.

Again, if you feel banning is the appropriate measure, than by all means, ban me. I deserve it. But if you can forgive me and my arrogance, I would be totally grateful, and I won't live this lie again, not here, not anywhere.

Thank you all for your time, and the past 2 years that you have given me.

Sincerely yours, 4mycountry

I gave my opinion, I stand by my opinion. You're correct it's up to the mods to care or not.

[HairOfTheDog]

I agree with your opinion that the parents should supervise internet activity.... I just disagree that it is Free Republic's responsibility or interest to ensure they do.

[SarahW]

I do.

Under the circumstances, I think 4my's parent's should get a heads up...to do with what they will.

[Fintan]

I'm 52. Believe me, it doesn't get any better.

And by the way, a spell-checker wouldn't hurt.

[HairOfTheDog]

You are missing the point. If they were concerned enough about what the kid might find at FR, they already know. If they aren't concerned.... What should FR do about that?

[JoeSchem]

Thirteen, huh?

One year too old to be a socialist.

[countrydummy]

I want to adopt you!

[4mycountry]

Well hello! I've seen you before, haven't I? ^-^

Gore did receive 300,000 more votes than Bush did. Doubtless you'll make make the same irrational, sort of scary judgement on all Americans that voted for him that you do me.

I know I am late on this, but YOU ARE WRONG!!!

The recounting of votes did show Bush leading by a very narrow margin!

Appearently you missed that in the news.

Did Daddy make you do it?

[AppyPappy]

I think he mean the whole election, not just Florida.

[Zavien Doombringer]

probably, but then again, the presidential voting process isn't a popular vote, it is a vote for the electoral college...whish is a necessity!

"Never apologize" is the lousiest line from a movie. Thanks for apologies; they will always help you step up into a higher level of integrity.

"Never apologize" is the lousiest line from a movie.

I'll thank you not to insult John Wayne.
