Why Is It That As A Society We Are Scared To Say What We Really Feel?

I was talking with my mate this morning and we were having a discussion on people not being able to say what they really feel because they might hurt someone else's feelings.  On these blogs for instance, we should be able to comment on peoples personal blogs without judgement.  You are posting something for your "neighborhood" to read.  You're posting your feelings or idea's, etc., on a public forum, and people are going to comment their feelings about what you've written whether they agree with you or not! 

Well, frankly I'm tired of not being able to say what I feel, and if you know me, you know that I have never have really been a part of it!  I say what I feel, but of course I know when to say it.  Now I might sound like a crotchety old woman, but I really don't care.  I'm going to say what I feel, and if I don't like what you have to say, I'm going to tell you.  I hope that you can do the same for me! 

We need to quit worrying so much about hurting people's feelings when they are doing something that is ridiculous or mean.  We need to, as a country and as individual's, start standing up for what we believe and what we know is right.

I am for the Constitution of the United States!  Free speech!  The Right To Bare Arms, etc....If my government takes that away from me (us) becuase you were all to scared to take a stand, I'm gonna be one pissed off crotchity old bitch and you better watch out!  Cause then I'll have a lot to say about you!

....a while later.....I was pissed off at something when I wrote this ok!
