My UOs (because 9-12 doesn't care)

ablouablou member
in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I have quite a few this week:

I hate the dogmatic "official" threads. I think they stifle debate, and that's horse hockey.

Smash cake photo shoots (pre-birthday mostly) are ridiculous and gross me out.

People that talk about "real Americans" and that want to cut social programs are classist, racist, and xenophobic.

    People buy special outfits, hire photographers, get a special cake, just to get pictures of their kid digging into a "birthday" cake, ruining said outfit... not on their birthday. I just don't get it, and don't think that it's cute at all.

    There are usually some posted on 9-12, but I won't link to any, because I don't want to single anyone out.

    That really is more of a 9-12 UO, honestly.  I just like it better over here...

    I do think that smash cakes are a waste of money, but I do think it's cute when you have a cake in front of LO while singing Happy Birthday when he all of sudden goes for the cake.

    It's just a trend, and it'll die soon just like every other trend.

    The only one I disagree with is the last one. 

    I hate the "real americans" verbage, but not everyone who wants to cut social programs is racist and xenophobic or what have you.

    This. That's quite a blanket statement. Way to be judgmental.

    Well, from where I sit (Phoenix) it's OK to be on welfare if you're not Mexican. Whether you're legal or not, if your Hispanic and on welfare the "real Americans" look down on you. And by "Real Americans" I mean whites. Ab is in Texas, she probably sees the same thing. It's disgusting. I know illegals. They are too terrified to apply for welfare for fear they'll be deported. It was a pretty generalized statement, but I get where she's coming from. (I think.) Sorry for crappy formatting...phone is being dumb.
    This is a test. This is only a test.

    That's interesting. Perhaps CA is too diverse for it to be like that here. Do you think it's because illegal immigration is such a problem in those areas? I don't have a problem with illegal immigrants being afraid to apply for welfare. IMO, they should not be able to receive it. I actually didn't even know they could. That has nothing to do with race and has everything to do with them being illegal.

    It's because Arizona is a redneck hillbilly state that is trying to recreate the Wild West. I don't think that illegals should be able to obtain welfare either. But, the common misconception here is that all Mexicans on welfare are illegal. I would love to move to Cali, but I can't afford it, lol

    Hotsauce is right.  Same thing applies in Texas, IMO.
