Anticipation Comments

To Yuma:
Hi~ 
I agree with you that children should not be responsible for what their parents have done. It seems to me that the parents are irresponsible if they make their kids to take the responsibility of mistakes that they have made. Blaming the children for the parents' blunders is completely wrong. The parents are older, mature, and wiser so they should have known that something that they are about to do is not right. If they were not aware if it, then how do they expect their children to know?
btw, I like how you ended the post :)


To Gabby:
Hi, Gabby.
I
experienced similar experiences when I was young. Those night images scared me so much that as soon as the lights were out, I could not open my eyes until I fell asleep. The "pictures" were worse for me because my vision gets extremely blurry without my glasses so I actually saw them 'moving.' Once, I thought I saw a ghost man pedaling a bike (it turned out to be my clothes that were hanging on the wall). I'm still extremely fearful of dark and ghosts. Even a few weeks ago, I didn't believe that ghosts existed although I was still scared of them. However, after seeing a Korean show related to shamans, my view on the existence of ghosts changed completely. (I'm writing about it on my blog).


To Allison:
Hey, Allison :)
I agree. That statement is way too general. It is like how Malcolm X called all whites devils. There are some who are not nice but there are also some who are very nice. Overall, just as how Malcolm's statement seems exaggerated, I think this quote, "All rich people are selfish and stingy," is the same. Like your examples, there are rich who give out scholarships to others. On the other hand, there are others who help people live better lives. An example is Barack Obama. He is powerful and no one can disagree that he is rich, right? So, I agree with you because there are rich who support less fortunate people with either money or power or skills that they have.
