Reach Down and Man Up.. Stand up for yourself

Any one ever wanted to stand on their Soap Box to Rant and Point out Hypocrisy from some one like: parents, boss, Lover, Friend, media or the Public?

feeling relieved self righteous once you were done no matter the Consequences.

For instance a Boss who is an alcoholic who steals/ "borrows" from the petty cash has the nerve to tell you, you are unreliable b/c you showed up a few minutes late to work for whatever reason, works you till late hours, make you come in early, cuts ur hours..etc etc..

Maybe a teacher tells you, you are wrong tries to humiliate you in front of class b/c she/he thinks you are wrong when in actuality you are right..

your Parents kick you out of the house or punish you for whatever reason for something you feel is not wrong examples: Dating someone your parents dont approve, accused of drug use, stealing, changing your life goals.. etc etc...

a police officer harassing you for whatever reason maybe a ticket you didnt deserve for speeding, suspicion of drug use intoxication, suspiciously dressed stereotyped..

has any one ever stood up of for themselves and said : "no, i am not going to take it anymore, This is not right and this is why".

what was your Moment to stand up for your self? your one moment to not sit down and shut up and do what your told..

nope.

i just wanted to hear about ppl's best moments in life, it seems to many ppl nowadays are scrubs and submissive two face. i wanted to here their Martin Luther King speech type moment... 😛

for Example:

i was once asked to go to a once america leader who was a complete moron, his name wont be mention b/c i am better then that but some of you can figure out who he is.

I would have had to drive to the other side of the base and stand in formation as he gave a speech that many of us knew was a lie to the american ppl and military personnel, it would be hot very tiring as well.

i was then told the only questions we would be allowed to ask if we were picked by that person and were not to deviate from it. if we had any questions we wanted to ask personally we would have to write it down and submitted, it would be approved and or denied prior to being sent to the speech.

i looked at my Gunnery Sgt told him i did not want to go...

He said it was an honor and the dream of many marines to meet that man... etc etc.

i told him it was not mine, nor did i consider it an honor due to my military beliefs of morality and ethics... i further told him i will not be a part of something i do not believe in just to give that person a good image on national t.v. with no one giving him real hard hitting questions but soft feel good question that i felt were insulting to the american ppl and marines

i then told him i be damn if i were to be censored by the same ppl i was trained to defend and fight alongside when it was simply a political honest questions that had nothing to do with base or national security...

my gunny was so mad at me he pulled a blank piece of paper called a page 11 and ordered me to sign it.. i stood at parade rest looked him in the eye and told him, no, he cannot order me to sign a blank page 11,,

he stood up pushed his desk got right in my face started yelling at me swearing and physically challenging me thinking i would react, he further stated that he could come up with plenty of things to charge me with if he wanted and none of his men would defend me or go against him.

i did not move i simply asked if i was being physically and having my career threaten? he looked shocked, i then asked him i would like to be dismissed in order to go get the company C.O. and legal admin..

he kicked me out of his office and never brought it up.. i still had to finish through with my comment and spoke with the C.O. and admin. which ended up getting him and myself reassigned.. 🙂

anyways i should have posted this..

Am I the only one who when first reading the title thought this thread would be about masturbation?

fact: people posting on message boards do not have a "Martin Luther King speech type moment", hence why their opinions are relegated to message boards where few, if any, care to listen

no you were not

WS, I can only guess that you were present for Stephen Colbert's show from Iraq?

some one has got to have some good speech moments even if its just for a job interview or gets a good deal on a sale... it doesnt have to be martin luther king speech per say rant...maybe something you wanted to say.

what if you get offered a broke back mountain role?

cliche plot aside, the acting in brokeback was pretty good, and has proven to have been a fairly pivitol and acclaimed role for both leads.

its literally one of those "role-of-a-lifetime" parts

(the wives have some of the best parts though)

lmao why are you bastards hating on, Shadow, for trying to provoke an inspirational discussion? The topic deserves to be in the OTF when dummies reply with stupid jibber jabber 😛 Don't let them tear you down, Shadow...,Rage on!!

😂

Honestly, though. My most profound and rebellious moments have come from within...,against myself. The life changing decisions or displays of courage that i thought would stay with me have faded while the most unexpected thoughts and instances have become the most life altering. Either way, i'm sure of one thing. You always need to stay hungry. Keep your passions alive.
