HateEffects! Part 1 of 3

There is something that has been plague our world for a long time. Just when we think that it is under control it surfaces again, hate. Hate spreads like wild fire. It cascades through our society like a deadly virus infecting people and causing harm to others. If unchecked it can consume people, after all it has ended lives. Recent event, over the last two months, have show that hate is rampant infecting our school where children play and learn, and in our governments where the future of our nation is decided and our freedoms are defended. If hate was classified as a disease it would be a pandemic. We, the whole of humanity, need to start paying attention to what we are doing. We need to help those that do not have a voice or that their voices have been forcibly silenced and give them and others the power to dissolve and eliminate hate.

Don’t ask don’t tell (DADT) is become synonymous with people in the armed forces in the United States and all of North America. This policy was started in the 1990’s to stop the attention of homosexuals serving their nations. As long as no know asked a soldier what their sexual orientation is, it does not matter whether one is heterosexual or homosexual. However if asked (or accused in many cases) then the soldier much resign their commission or be discharged. Some National leaders and Politicians felt that homosexuals would either be distracted because they would be in such close guarders with members of the same sex, or no tough enough for combat. If someone is not tough enough I am certain that they would not even sign up for service, in Canada and United States there is no conscription at this time, so signing up with the armed forces is a choice. If people choose to service their nation and fight for what they believe in I say let them. If homosexual should be kicked out, are those who feel that way going to take their place? I doubt that they would be as selfless, noble, honorable, and brave as those persons in the forces gay or straight. I know I am not… would you be? Why does that really matter to you if you rights are still being defended and fought for but you would give these people that right to exercise their rights, your rights?
