Dear bullies, See that girl you just called fat? She is starving herself. You know that girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting on make-up hoping people will like her. That boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars? He fought for our country. See that young boy you just made fun of for always being sick? He has to walk home in the snow cause his family is too poor. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. Re-Post this if you are against bullying. I bet many of you won't, Your life is probably not as harsh as theirs plus you're probably a douche bag. Itachi as BATMAN Itachi: I'm the Hero Konoah deserves but not the one it needs right now. I'm a silent guardian, a watchful protector, I'm the Dark Knight. Sasuke: For the last time Itachi! You're not batman! Itachi: Oh my god! He's right! Sasuke: Huh? Itachi: Batman didn't have parents! (The real reason behind the Uchiha Massacre, none of that other crap. Itachi just wanted to be Batman.) "Anime taught me a lot of lessons, and gave me wisdom, simply because it gave moral points that my mind debated. Lelouch taught about peace, and what it takes to grasp it, what you may have to become, and the lines that blur. Aizen taught about God, and what God truly represents. Light and L taught about Justice, and what the line of it is. Madara, Pain, Naruto, they taught about human nature. All of these have made me and numerous others wiser, smarter. Anime isn't a waste of time. It never was. Who the fuck are you? What the fuck is that? What the fuck is going on? The three most important questions when you come into a troubling situation. Since the dawn of human kind our ancestors discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from god, to justice, to simple psychotic rage. These endless battles of blood and pain have spread throughout history itself, wars of ancient cultures to modern conflicts between nations. These battles never ended well for one side or another, for one nation would see the spoils of victory, the other would only see the pain of defeat. But this was not always the case, for it was not impossible for both sides to feel the sting of utter failure If the world needed to be saved, whose responsibility is it to do so? Of the billions of people on this planet, can you really point to one at random and say, "Get to it"? Of course not, those who have the power to do something should do it. The wisest of these will seek out companions to aid them in their task, smartly choosing people who are proficient in areas of expertise which they themselves lack. The warrior seeks out an archer and a mage. The solider seeks out a sniper and a medic. The contractor seeks out the engineer and the materials consultant. Unfortunately, the individuals who find themselves in a position to do something are very rarely those who are best suited to perform the task; whether it be a man trapped in space with no one to keep him company or sane but a couple of inorganic life forms created by the man whose place he has taken, a high school student whose overbearing father and ability to see things others can't constantly makes his life a living hell, an alcoholic gun for hire whose childhood on the streets has sculpted her pessimistic and hateful view of the world, or a whiny little kid who had been forced to drive his Dad's giant robot; time and time again, the countless masses find themselves unknowingly relaying their very survival on people they would rather not make eye contact with in a crowded room. If the universe needed to be saved, whose responsibility is it to do so? "Live fast, die old, and leave a simply breathtaking corpse." - Lavender Brown, Yet Again Still Even More Fragments! Ch.46 by dogbertcarroll I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back. The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll." Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?'' The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.'' Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly. The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. "It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her." I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry. But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there." His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.'' My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall." Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me. I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister." Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?'' "OK," he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money. The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me!'' "I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.'' "My mommy loves white roses." A few minutes later, the old lady returned and I left with my basket. I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

COMMON SENSE Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault. Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge). His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6 year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get Parental consent to administer Calpol, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion. Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault. Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim. Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing. I OWE MY MOTHER 1. My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE.
